Tried this place with a Groupon. The place was completely empty on a Thursday afternoon. I called in advance to place my take out order, at first the gentlemen said I had to dine in? But I explained my Groupon is for take out, and it wasn't possible to dine in, after insisting he allowed me to place my take out order. I think they're desperate to fill the empty seats. For $49 minus the $40 Groupon, I ordered 3 dishes, each was about $15 and an ok portion, except the fish curry which was mostly curry. Anyways, I ordered the Maharaja biryani, a lamb dish, and a salmon fish curry. I enjoyed the biryani, the rice was very flavorful, but the chicken and meat pieces were over cooked. The lamb curry and salmon were also overdone. The meat and the fish weren't soft and tender. The salmon curry I didn't enjoy at all, the curry or sauce was watery with spices that didn't seem to mesh well. The over cooked meat wasn't too much of a turn off, I would like to go back and try the fresh naans on their menu, but I won't be ordering these items again, well maybe the biryani. Bon appetite!
You'll never have a product or price advantage again. They can be easily duplicated, but a strong customer service culture can't be copied. ~ Jerry Fritz
You folks clearly could stand to learn a few lessons in this arena. This review is based on the service and not the food which is actually tasty.
So look folks I get it, groupon is the devil for some restaurants, but you made this deal with the devil, not the potential customers who found you through it. First of all the groupon said it was for take out and you tell us "no, you must dine in!" Really genius? Right there on the groupon are the words Take-OUT. You know out, being the opposite of in…Tsk, tsk. It's a lot easier to pull the wool over the eyes of someone who can't read. Seeing as how I can read, well…you're going to have to try harder.
So after I politely ask to speak to the manager, Sir Rude-A-Lot gets on the phone and blurts out "we're not honoring that groupon anymore, call groupon to get your money back" and hangs up.
Let me break this down for you. YOU.ARE.A.CUSTOMER.SERVICE.FAIL! Plain and simple. This isn't hyperbole or rhetoric, this is fact. We were polite and only asking that what we paid for be honored. So the next time you make a deal with Beelzebub, don't take it out on your customers. It's no wonder the other locations have more stars. Get your act together. I for one could not care less if you made food as good as they served in the actual Maharaja Palace (real original name btw) I won't spend a dime, glance or belch in the direction of your establishment again.
Best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. I really like Indian food and this place has every dish, typical and special, as its best.
The samosas are incredibly tasty and they are huge! The puff pastry reminded me of the fried Argentinian Empanadas I had in my childhood.
Then the other appetizer that you must order is the potato cakes over the chickpeas with chutney and yogurt.
We had an incredible meal so far and I have to add that the service was amazing throughout the whole seating. Even the homemade sauces and lentil crunchy bread for the table is a great hunger killer.
Now the entrees that were the BEST we had. The best okra I had and the best cauliflower I had and I'm not exaggerating. The preparation feels like they've been cooking it for decades and serve you the dish at its best time. Paired with the classic aromatic Basmati rice it's an explosion of flavors in your mouth. I would order the same dishes every time for the rest of my life. Incredible food! You can tell it has a lot of history and love in it.
The owner is a very sweet guy and he served us with so much joy.
The lunch special is a steal! $7.95 for a vegetable entree with rice and naan bread.
This is going to be my go to Indian restaurant from now on.
