We love a good Indian dinner and had high expectations when we arrived at Maharaja -- it did not disappoint. Because we dined during the Patriots' Super Bowl game we had the place nearly to ourselves, which was fine with us (and, judging by the quality of food, would be a very unusual experience); our young server was efficient, friendly,...

To my mind, this is one of the better Indian restaurants in the Boston area. The food here is excellent, especially the Mutton Qorma and the Chicken Tikka. I also liked their fish curry of which I had a taste. What I also really liked is the ambience. Typically, most Indian places are dingy and not very appealing from an... More

This was just OK Indian Food in Harvard Square. The food was mediocre, luke warm, and lacked that special flavor that we expected with Indian food. The service was slow and inattentive. Great views of Cambridge. We will not be going here again. More

Had outstanding daal mahkhani (house secret recipe). And when my Kingfisher beer was empty, the waiter read my mind and brought another, without even asking. Fan-tas-tic! More

We ate Sunday lunch here and we all had the buffet. The atmosphere was great - nicely decorated and on the second floor overlooking the activity on the plaza below. The servers were extremely attentive and pleasant and the food was great. We love Indian food and have gone to Indian restaurants all over, including many in London where you... More

The Maharaja provides the perfect setting for an Indian meal: it is completely furnished with intricately carved wooden tables and chairs, making you feel like Indian royalty. We have eaten and enjoyed a fair amount of Indian food, both in this country and in Britain, and the Maharaja's cuisine is among the best we've encountered. The menu goes beyond the... More

We absolutely loved this restaurant. We were staying across the bridge at JOhn Jeffries House and spent one evening at Harvard Sq. I'd heard about this restaurant being good, but was surprised at exactly HOW GOOD. It was GREAT. Service was excellent, and the food was scrumptious. We had appetizers and I had a stuffed chicken and my friend had... More

Great service, beatiful furniture, great food, and nice view of harvard square. Sparse desert menu, but the food is so good you won't have any room for desert anyway. Also, my girlfriend usually has an upset stomach after eating Indian food, but not when she eats here. More
