Maharaja Grill — Restaurant in Dearborn

I have ordered from here a dozen times or so. If I was basing my rating on every time prior to the last time, I would have rated it 4 stars. If I was basing my rating on the last time, I would have given them 1 star and vowed never to return. Here's my experience: The food is always good. The place could use a good scrub, but I've obviously never been so turned off that I couldn't eat there. I always order the same 2 items: Chana masala and samosas. Always. I have never ordered anything else from their menu and couldn't even tell you what else is on it. So, I called and placed that order the other day with the woman who answered. I also stated I didn't want any green sauce, only the red kind. I know that she understood that because she repeated it back twice. I repeated my whole order again. However, when she repeated my order, she may have said it incorrectly and I didn't catch it or she got it wrong after the fact. When I picked it up, it was tied up in a plastic bag as usual, but when I got home I saw that I had the samosas and 2 other things that I did not recognize that were covered in the green sauce. I called back and the woman answered and I said I did not get my Chana masala, but instead something that looked like samosas with green sauce on top. She said I had ordered samosas and "Chana samosas." I told her she must have misunderstood me because I said Chana masala. She insisted that's what I ordered even after I told her I had never even heard of that dish. Why I would order 2 different kinds of samosas, one of which I didn't know was an option, and also covered in the very sauce I expressly said I did not want... Anyway, I was irritated after the phone call, though she told me it would be ready in 10 minutes. When I went back to pick it up, the very first thing she said to me was "You said Chana samosas" and when I started to respond, "No, I-" she cut me off and insisted that that is what I said and quickly shut me down with an "it's ok, it's ok" that came across very condescending. I wanted to say "Even if I had managed to order a dish I had never heard of, it still wouldn't have been right because of the sauce!" However, trying not to be insulting I said, "I must have misunderstood you when you repeated my order back," and she still wouldn't admit that she may have heard me wrong too. It was incredibly rude. I don't know if I will be back. Very...

The food was tasty.... but a few issues..... Ordered several dishes including byrani,chicken tikka masala and nan bread, and tikka chatt and kahdi curry... spent over $60. The nan is not done on a tandoor, it was cooked in a frying pan. It was Stoggy and like an uncooked pancake, felt like it was not cooked. The chicken tikka masala is $3.00 more than butter chicken. we got butter chicken with boiled chicken. Cooked well but not done on a tandoor or a char-grill, no peppers, onions or the correct spices . The byrani tasted the same as the basmati rice with food coloring. It was plain with three to four chicken pieces thrown in, not worth the$1400. The food is clean well cooked and is tasty but cutting corners is not accepted. If you do not have a tandoor then remove nan bread and tikka from your menu. I feel I've been over charged and tring to substitute other items thinking I would not be aware. Very wrong I know my Indian...

The only reason there is one more star cause the girl on the register was very respectful and helpful but the food was horrible I review foods all the time and I’m a huge fan of Indian food I respect their business but the rice was dry like whey and the chicken was definitely mot fresh and I assume it was from morning Indian foods are always known for spices and herbs that I didn’t taste on the chicken in short dryness of the food was one of the main reason for this review and also it was not well seasoned with salt and other herbs I was very hungry and I thought let’s check out this spot but I were disappointed very badly I hope this review help restaurant owner and customer as well please be more careful cause when a person is ordering food it means they paying and they are hungry and ready for a good meal and first time test for me is really important that again I was not happy with...
