We walked right in with four people and immediately found prime real estate. Everyone knows that having four diners in a party allows for optimized sharing, along as everyone is down to clown. So we all picked a dish that spoke to us at a personal level. That's when we were floored by the level of service that Maharaja has to offer. Once our designated spokesperson relayed the dishes to the waitress, she paused and then made a counter offer... What if we could give you all of these and more at a discount? The gang was intrigued. We had inadvertently ordered some sort of party platter but in an a la carte fashion. The waitress took money out of her pocket to give us more food. A truly unparalleled opportunity to do right by the customer. Major applause to you (I hope this doesn't get you fired, and instead leads to increased business). These are the moments that you do not forget about as an enthusiast and avid promoter of the Seattle restaurant scene. I was blown away by the food as well. My experience with tandoori chicken in the past was that it can be dry and not pack the seasoning punch that you would expect from such a vibrant color. But this was quite the opposite, tender and juicy chicken that was exploding with flavor. The curries were also rich and deep in taste, with much more chicken than you get at many other establishments these days. I will 100% be back when I'm in West Seattle, and I would implore others to do so as well.

The vibe inside is very modern, yet casual. You have to be an adult to enter. It is 21+ only. The bar is nice as well. The drinks were really good and they have great signature cocktails to choose from. Overall, aside from the bad service we received, I recommend this restaurant for good Indian fusion food.

Our table was comfy for four of us. Our server was excellent, very helpful at suggesting dishes and complements to dishes we had. We'll be back!

At least they knew to refill our water when it ran low, and to not interrupt when Chooksty and I were in deep conversation. I liked that the table had a glass top where the menus laid under so that you could order without having to flip through pages or scan a QR code. Truly innovative and I wish that I could rate this place higher like I wished that I could take the leftovers home, but the cons outweigh the pros so much so :( Also, the drive to this restaurant from Olympia, Washington had a pretty rainbow

Not having been here before we asked the server for his recommendation and he picked two dishes for us to share. We got one curry type dish called Chicken patiala. And for the life of me, I cannot recall what the second dish was, but it is the green dish in my photo. Forgive me. I'm not doing it justice. Each dish comes with rice or naan so we got one of each. Portion sizes are generous. Each just was filled with wonderful flavor. I was most impressed with the chicken patiala. It had a wonderful slow heat that went along with a nice curry flavor very impressed with the garlic naan. Prices are reflective of downtown Seattle and this location

We were really hungry and decided to join them as I've had this spot saved too as the reviews were pretty positive. They were definitely very popular but we were put on the waitlist but I think it would be helpful if they took peoples' numbers as apparently they would just shout it outside. We weren't aware as we went somewhere else to wait as it was very cold. When we arrived, a different employee started cleaning a table for us and we waited but then the employee who did put us down was frustrated with us as he called us and no one of us answered cause we were elsewhere. We weren't sure if we had a spot after that but luckily the employee who was cleaning was done and offered that spot. They also did drop a glass cup after cleaning nearby which was concerning but they did clean it up right away. Once we were seated, it took almost a half an hour to get some to take our order. Luckily we did get our water refilled decently but there were a few times where our empty glasses were seen and ignored. I definitely think there should be staff training as it was non-existent. I understand being busy but you're across the convention center so it should be expected. The music was also so low I didn't know it was even on, they have a loud fan going on and even their TVs have no volume. It's a pretty awkward ambiance, especially with how they try to look like they are a upscale restaurant. It did take some time to get food and it seems like the kitchen was frustrated too as I heard the bell signaling food being ready several times. The food was actually good, especially for the price. The portions are generous. We never had paratha but our friend recommended it so we got the aloo paratha while my boyfriend got their butter masala and I got their tikka masala extra hot. It wasn't really spicy at all, definitely nothing like what I've had at other Indian restaurants. The curries were flavorful with good pieces of chicken. We might return if we need something nearby but there are definitely better options that I would walk for.

I ordered it mild and it was just perfect. There was plenty of chicken in the sauce, and I finished it all with just a hint of a feeling like I ate too much. The garlic Naan was also some of the best I've ever had. It has wonderful flavor, and yet was so light it almost melts in the mouth. The pricing is more than reasonable for what you get. Garlic Naan and Butter Chicken with a coke ran me about $36 bucks. The inside was very clean, quiet and inviting. I suspect they may do a lot of take out business though as it was almost deserted during the lunch hour. Speaking of lunch, my only wish list here would be that they had a lunch menu available. Eating this much food in the middle of the day makes it easier to feel like taking a nap than to go back to work.
