Many months later, I realized that this Maharaja is owned by the same people who own the legendary Maharaja in West Seattle, so I tried it again...and it's amazing! The food is on par with the WS location, but the ambience is much better. Also, this spot is *much* nicer and cleaner than when it was known as Bukhara. My only gripe is that there's no lunch buffet and no lunch menu/specials, so expect to drop $30 per person for lunch.

We arrived at 8:45 and the guy behind the counter was so kind and hospitable he took our order with no questions asked. Next time I come in I'll give him a big smooch. Haven't eaten yet but I'm sure the food is utterly fantastic 10/10 would recommend

The food was hot, came out quickly, well balanced with spices and the chai was actually phenomenal. I also appreciate the service. Our waiter and the host were very attentive but not hovering. They were also super helpful with ordering enough food for the table. We were yapping late into the night and they didn't kick us out. We did get the gentle message to start wrapping up when the lights turned on haha but I don't mind, obviously they need to go home too lol. I just had a good time and didn't feel rushed at the end which made the experience all the better. My only (minor) gripe is that the biryani rice was a little undercooked for my taste and the portion sizes were smaller than I'm used to (but I grew up in Dallas, and no one at our table left hungry, we were all stuffed). Will definitely be back with my parents next time!

Unbelievably tender chicken breast, served with perfectly seasoned rice and a mini dipping curry. Incredible value. * ​Chicken Tikka Masala & Garlic Naan: Reliable and good as always. ​The Misses: * ​Paneer Saag: Huge letdown--completely flavorless and very underseasoned. * ​Mumbai Mule: Tasted like a mocktail with almost zero alcohol flavor. ​Spice Note: Ordered "Hot" for both curries, but didn't get much heat at all--feel free to order a level up if you like spice!

The curry was spicy and had very little flavor, but the protein was cooked well though. Overall, it was ok.

We went as a family and the ambience felt warm and comfortable. Right when we entered, we were greeted by a gentleman who seemed like the owner, and after dinner we had a really nice conversation. That kind of hospitality is rare and it stood out. The thali is unlimited, and the staff comes around frequently to refill and ask what you want more of. The flavors overall are bold and satisfying. Standouts for me: * Khichdi (favorite) * Gujarati kadhi with khichdi: pure comfort food * Aamras: easily a highlight * Dal baati: exactly what I wanted * Paneer curry: solid and tasty The mix veg was average, but everything else more than made up for it. Service was helpful throughout and parking was easy with plenty of spots. If you love thali, this place is a must.

I want to try the mango coconut curry when we next visit, but before I've had the railway mutton curry, chili baby corn, and lamb seekh kebab.

My family doesn't go here often enough to get every server, but when we have we've always had a polite waiter. The Indian music contributes to a wholesome ambiance, and overall I recommend going!

But 1 of them ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT BE A WAITER OR SERVICE PERSON. He never looked us in the eye - ever. He threw the plates and take out boxes at us. If we never come back, he will be the reason. He needs a different job. Not built for this. He seemed VERY VERY UNHAPPY. EDIT: I see some previous reviews talking about poor service. People can disagree on food quality, but poor service is universal. You need to fix this or go out of business. Put a smile on your face, be polite, act interested in the job and your customers. Or suffer the consequences of losing business due to poor service reviews. Just think how much more business you'd get IF you served your customers correctly. RECOMMEND: Aahaar. Always polite. Always seem happy. Don't eat an average or even great meal at India Belly with rude staff if you can drive a few miles to Aahaar and get greeted with smiles and politeness the whole meal.

I always look forward to interacting with their wonderful, welcoming staff. The food has an authentic Kerala and Tamil Nadu ( Indian States )touch that sets it apart. Favorites: My son is a huge fan of their perfectly made idli, dosa, and vada. Their fried idlis are also incredibly tasty and a fun twist on the classic! The variety: They have an incredible selection of dosas on the regular menu, and the Aviyal dish here is very good and highly recommended. Special treats: Aside from the regular staples, I am a big fan of their thalis on special occasions--they are a must-try! Bonus tip: Its location makes it perfect to combine with a trip to Snoqualmie Falls for a fantastic day out! If you are looking for top-tier South Indian cuisine with great vibes, this is the spot. Highly recommended!

We came in for lunch and got the Fried Fish, Mutton Varuthakari, Parotta, Iddiyappam, Dahi Sev Poori, two desserts, and a Chicken Biryani to take home. Everything was delicious -- the curry was excellent, with flavorful mutton and plenty of spice. The fish was especially delicious: crispy, spicy, and juicy, and probably the star of the meal. The Sev Poori was fun too, and the Parotta and Iddiyappam were quite good as well. The desserts were lovely. The Chakka Pradhaman was great, with the jackfruit flavor present but not overpowering, and the gulab jamun was nice as well. The biryani was also amazing. It's a very wholesome biryani and it hits a particular spot for us Malayalis (the cashews and the small grain rice are a part of that), and will keep us coming back many more times. Everything was top notch, and you could sense an attention to detail that separates Aahaar from many other restaurants. This was reflected in the warm, friendly staff and in the high degree of quality across all of the dishes. Overall, a lovely experience. We recommend Aahaar highly!
