Had take away delivered to my holiday rental. It arrived promptly in a wrapped van. The food was very hot and in nice containers, unfortunately it was all very odd colours and not to my taste. More

The best part about this place was that it was open until late and the staff remained perky throughout.The menu has a great variety of "classics" and specialty Indian dishes, we were feeling adventurous so we ordered some unknown dishes and we were not disappointed! The food was presented beautifully and we really liked the trays of different chutneys and... More

Really can't understand the negative reviews, been visiting this restaurant at least once a year for about 15 years and I hope to continue. The views are breathtaking, be it a lovely summer evening or a stormy winter night. The food is great. Some of the dishes are different to what you would expect. i.e dansak was very hot, whereas...

Thank you for your review. I am glad you can't understand the negatives either! We serve traditional authentic Indian dishes but each area of India is very different so there will be lots of variants which, as you say, makes the food so interesting. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon. More

The food was delicious. We had the chicken tikka masala, lamb Kashmir, saag aloo, peshwari naan and pilau rice. We highly recommend these dishes! The portion sizes were perfect. There was even enough to take home. We sat by the window and enjoyed our dinner with a fantastic view of the beach. One piece of constructive criticism is that the... More

Thank you for your review. We readily accept constructive criticism and we will certainly look into this. Our views really are wonderful although we can take no credit for them! We do take the credit for our great food and friendly service - that is what the Maharajah is about! We look forward to seeing you again. More

This was our first visit to Newquay. We tried this restaurant largely due to the location --directly overlooking the sea. The view as great, but the food was even better. Enjoyed the saag lamb and chicken tikka masala. Portions were very generous. Staff was very attentive. If we ever return to Newquay, we'll go to Maharajah again. More
