I absolutely love this place. Normally, a place that has a massive menu is a bit concerning to me as it often leads to not really excelling at anything, but that is not the case here in my experience. The reason behind the large menu is related to the aim of the restaurant, which is to showcase the various regional cuisines of India. As a result, don't expect the straightforward menu of: apps, entrees, deserts, etc... rather the menu is divided by cuisine. Aside from honouring tradition, they do offer a couple 'new' takes on some items. If you comb through a few reviews, and certainly the pics, you'll notice a must-order items is the roasted eggplant with pomegranate. It really is like nothing else I've had before and unforgettable in both taste and texture. My group also went with a famous lamb dish as well. I don't remember the name offhand, but it is incredibly soft, well seasoned and nicely spiced dish. We also went with orders of naan, veggie dishes and meat skewers. It's beautifully decorated inside and also has the advantage of being located in a heritage building in what was formerly an estate home nearly 150 years old. It's truly a unique place and one people living in the area can be proud and of showcase to visitors. read more

Johnny Custared has veritie of sweet and fast food. Today we tried 3 types of sweet; white chocolate macadamia cookies, toffee pudding with ice cream and strawberry & banana crep. The portion cann be share, however; I recommend toffee pudding with ice cream. Due to the weekend , the service was slow. I would like to thank Sheily who was so friendly and acted professionally when we did not like the cardamom chai as it has milk and did meet our expectations . She changed the chai with Earl Gray which was really tasty. The ambiance was nice and comfort. The chairs were comfortable and the employees were friendly. read more

From outside it looks like a motel but the decor inside is beautiful. The service was alright, nothing over the top. Food wise we were not impressed, the tandoori roti wasn't that great. Bangan bartha didn't taste like it was bartha, tasted like garlic. The sweet lassi was 4/5 because of the portion, not even a full glass just half the cup. We enjoyed a paneer dish the most and the basic butter naan. read more

The Maharaja - Sweet lassi - Indian Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

The Maharaja is located at Heritage hills and Eglington. This restaurant stands like a separate building in the Complex so it's easier to spot in the GpS. The word 'Maharaja' means "Great king". As it's name says the inside does look grand and nice . During this Covid times, they have taken good precautionary measures. We ordered for Dum Ka murgh Biriyani which is a CHICKEN Biriyani along with Few Naans another chicken side. The taste of the Biriyani was mediocre but the quantity of the food was very good. The staff at the restaurant was very kind and knowledgeable at the restaurant. The packaging of the food was very good too. A drawback about this place is the price range. Yes they are a couple of dollars more on most of the items . I think it is definitely worth a try at this place. I will visit this place after the lockdown is over for sure for a Dine in . read more

Non veg platter, jhodpuri subs biryani, subs miloni. Price to get to me by Uber eats 146.02!!! The non veg platter used to come with a couple side dishes and naan bread. Not anymore since covid apparently. And the price went up by $25 Food was decent BUT the customer service is terrible. You didn't order the correct non veg platter ma'am for $100 which i can't find on the menu. Not my problem ma'am. Take it up with Uber Eats! I will NOT be ordering from them again. Very rude customer service. read more

This was my first Indian food encounter in Canada. And to make it worth I had done hours of research on google. I literally read thousands of Indian restaurant reviews in Mississauga and finalized The Maharaja - A Boutique Indian Restaurant. It had popularity, awesome feedback and lots of recognition. I had made dinner reservations well in advance as it was an important Indian festive day and I was expecting high crowd. We reached there at the reserved time which was 9:30 pm and were escorted to our table right away. It is not too big not too small kind of boutique restaurant with some eye catchy decor elements including the historic wall paintings. Ambiance? Likable. But the fine dining reference I read about in multiple reviews remains debatable. The service, the food, the feel, the experience...Definitely a NO NO for fine dining. The server kept coming back to ask if we want to order more. Not to ensure we are properly attended but to take the menu booklet back. Also when asked about their vegetarian specialties, he seemed to have the least knowledge. To top it up, the service was quite slow as well. Nevertheless, coming to my favorite and the most important section FOOD. They have an expansive menu offering Avadhi, Hyderabadi, Punjabi and Rajasthani cuisine with around ten types of breads and three to four dessert options. We went for my all time favorite Dahi ke Kabab (Rajasthani cuisine) in appetizers, Paneer Tawa Masala (Punjabi cuisine), Pudina Parantha and Naan - i - makhani. The Food The kabab serving had four pieces and came with onion and papaya pickle on the side. The presentation brought out good colors on plate but the sides were not complimenting the dish. The kabab had a good moisture of curd and were quite filling due to paneer and dry fruit stuffing in them. However, it had a slight sweet taste to it which was a complete turn off for my taste buds. Paneer tawa masala was another disappointment, thus the decision of skipping dessert. The only thing which I liked was Pudina Parantha, which was seven on ten good. Naan - i - Makhani was lacking the smoothness and softness of a butter naan. The simple recipes like complimentary green and imli chutneys were missing flavours. Verdict - While I tried to like the place with all my heart, I could not find even a single reason to go back. Although food prices are not going to burn a whole in your pocket, drinks were moderately pricey than some other similar places. read more

The restaurant is targeting to offer the experience of fine dinning, and it's almost there as well. The service is good. Trained servers with effort to give good services. The interior decor is trying to reflect a fine dinning ambiance, which could be more suitable if it had a larger space and selected (refined!!) paintings. Food quality vs. price vs. quantity will get a 3.5 star out of 5. But considering only quality, it's definitely good.... aromatic and spicy. We had Shrimp curry (Hyderabadi Tawa Jhinga Masala), mixed daal (Dal Panchmel), Pudina Paratha and butter naan (Naan-i-Makhani)... all of them were good. read more

The Maharaja - Indian Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

This is my 3rd time at the restaurant. The first 2 times I actually scored it highly, and even recommended it on my food blog. This time though left a bad taste in the mouth literally. First, I booked the festive menu. When the menu was advertised, it was written up in such a way that gave the impression you had a choice with the main courses, appetizers, etc. When we arrived, we were told, "sorry, we decided to have just one menu that changes each day." So basically, either take it, or leave it. Since we were already there, we went along with it. Then 2 things happened that really pissed me off. 1) at the end of the meal, we informed that we would like to pack what we couldn't finish, but was told we couldn't because it was a "buffet". (A) we were never told we could re-order, and (B) i was very upset that they would rather waste food but throwing it away - then letting me pack it back! 2) the biriyani was supposed to be chicken. There was a piece of BONE in it. The consequence? - I cracked my tooth on it, and was in terrible pain for a whole week before i could get an appointment with my dentist. I am very annoyed. Next time, I'll go to Khazana in Milton instead! read more

I have been meaning to visit this place for a while and chose the Maharaja for my birthday celebration. No regrets there. The restaurant is located on Eglinton and Hurontario inside a plaza. You cannot miss the unique Heritage building that houses the restaurant. It's advertised as a Boutique restaurant and it shows with the ambiance and decor. Reservation can be made through their website which is very easy to do and you'll receive an e-mail confirmation within 15 minutes. I also received a call from there as I made the reservation the same date just to confirm. There's plenty of parking inside the plaza so it shouldn't be an issue. Once inside, the hostess will ask you if it's the first time at the Maharaja and if it is, if you would like to take a tour. We decided to skip it. I would say that the restaurant probably sits between 50-60 people max and has a bar too. They have a shared bathroom which is very clean. Service is where they excel. Our waitress was very attentive and understanding as we explained that we may take a little bit long in choosing our dishes as my wife and daughter have little experience with Indian cuisine. She was patient and answered our questions in regards to the menu and dishes. The menu is extensive as it's divided by the different regions of India. Once we decided, we ordered the Muglai Murgh Malai Kebab as an appetizer. They were cut boneless chicken steeped in yogurt, cheese and cream. They were very delicious and a good way to start our meal. For our main courses, we went with Dum Ke Murgh Asaf Jah (Chicken stuffed with cheese, pomegranate and cumin), Chooza Makhani (Butter Chicken), Koh-e-Awadh (Two lamb shanks braised in a brown gravy. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the chicken on the Chooza Makhani was excellent. I felt that the filling on the stuffed chicken didn't quite work as it made the chicken a bit dry inside. The sauce however saved the dish. That was the only blemish in our dining experience. The Garlic Naan (Naan-I-lasooni) was the best Naan I ever had. The price is definitely higher than your regular Indian restaurants but the dining experience is worthwhile for special occasions. Highly recommended! #65 of 2018 read more

We got to go food here and it stayed tasting good and fresh. Highly recommend. The food was ready when we got there and there was no wait. Service was friendly read more

Food is not authentic as it should be. The taste is muted to appeal to a milder palate so we did not enjoy the meal Service was good, presentation was good and so was the ambiance. Good for an newbie to the taste but if u are savvy u will find it wanting. Chicken Biryani Shrimp Curry Nargisi Kofta Curry Dal Makhani Pudina Paratha Chicken Curry Nice to have a try It's located in a heritage building so it has lots of character. Good for a one-time visit. They have special menus on Parsi feats or occasions which is also worth a shot but fairly pricey. All in all a nice place to go at least once read more

I found this new restaurant advertised in insauga.com. It used to be a pub and they fully renovated to have each area of the dining area be unique and spectacular. I love the decor and the ambiance. I would go back for it!! Service was wonderful and they were attentive to us. The menu is divided within four regions of food from India which is interesting. It's fine dining quality. Happy: We were well taken care of and were given recommendations since we don't eat at Indian restaurants that much. We got a lamb curry and a chicken curry with two types of nan/roti. The curry was different and very flavourful. I also had s lentil soup which was a nice starter. The washroom was clean and matched the restaurant floor tiles which was nice to see. Not happy: We ended with an ice cream based dessert which wasn't to my liking. It was nicely displayed but after eating a few bites, I couldn't indulge it anymore. Since it was a special lunch, I didn't mind spending the money. But it does add up with main dish with the roti. Over $67 for two people (no alcohol drinks). Verdict: I would definitely go back to try their vegetarian dishes and for the decor. It made me feel I was in a fine dining place in India. read more

This ties for #1 Indian food in Mississauga along with Avani Indian Bistro. Maharaja has an edge when it comes to ambiance and overall service while Avani has an edge when it comes to flavor. I ordered butter chicken (chooza makhni) and navratan korma. Both were really good. Garlic naan was amazing. So good that you can eat it on its own. Biryani was solid too. The interior decor is impeccable. And so is the service. Highly recommended if you're looking for a "royal Indian dining experience". read more

3.5 stars The restaurant really aims for "fine dining" and does a decent job at it via beautiful decor, presentation of dishes, etc . Service was formal and professional but slow between courses. Chicken main: Murgh Lababdar. This was tasty with the garlic naan I ordered. The sauce had carmelized onions, fresh tomatoes and cream. Beef Kabobs: Disappointing - really unappealing visually. Colour was red with how much masala was in it. Kulfi dessert: Better than I anticipated, very rich in flavour and good portion for $6 at this restaurant. read more

TIP: Ask the server to leave the remaining food/drink on the table if they attempt to remove it right after they've finished serving the table! TIP 2: Do make reservations, especially on the weekend. We went for a Sunday dinner and the place was at capacity. They have an easy online booking system which will text you to remind you! Pretty damn close to 5*s! The *only* reason I cannot give them a full 5* is because our server took away the gravy of the murgh lababdar (very similar to butter chicken) and the pot of chai. Otherwise, everything from the service to the actual food was great, not overhyped! Service was very nice and classy. The server started out the evening explaining the menu, that it's from different regions of India so it's different cuisines, blah, blah, blah. Atmosphere is also a mix of traditional with contemporary, so you may feel a bit odd if you should up in your late Sunday evening grocery store best. Not sure if it was because we were in a larger party/celebrating a special occasion, but our server started the meal serving the first main, one-by-one (wedding style). So after each person was served the murgh lababdar, he took away the rest of the delicious gravy! It would've been nice to dip our naan in the rest of the sauce, but it was too late. :( My BIL felt a bit uncomfortable, so he told the server that we can help serve ourselves for the rest of the meal. HOWEVER, at the end of the meal, the same thing happened with my sister's chai. The server came with a small-medium sized pot of chai, poured it into a smallish mug, then took away the rest of the pot. Meanwhile, a group of older Indian gentlemen who were seated nearby had full-on pots on their table. So we thought that was a bit odd. Again, not sure if this is their practice, but we would've preferred if they left the remaining food/drink on the table until we deemed them to be finished. Highlights were the kebob platter (don't think it's on the menu, but it featured different types of meats in different marinades) and the murgh lababdar, again it was very similar to butter chicken. I don't think you can really go wrong though 'cause everything was pretty delicious! All the dishes tasted distinctly different, unlike other Indian restaurants were many of them taste very similar. My bf cannot eat spicy foods and he was fine, so basically anyone should be able to eat here. I'd definitely go back as this was probably the nicest Indian restaurant that I've been too. The old school service really does add to not only the atmosphere, but the food as well! However, it's not a cheapie place, so keep that in mind. They automatically add a 15% grat to parties of 7+! read more

My family came here for my dads birthday. Since we are Indian, and my parents are phenomenal cooks, we are VERY picky when it comes to Indian food (since we are soooo well fed at home) The meat here is amazing. Kabobs, tandoori stuff...delicious (as I was told from my father). Since I am vegetarian, I didn't get to try any of these meats. The main curries were ok. Everything is mild,so tell them if you want it to be spicy! The naan was so soft and fresh, and the paneer curry was quite good. Best thing was the service. Our waiter was very patient and kind (go Kenneth!) I don't think I would come back since I'm vegetarian, but it's a great place if you want to try some good meat. read more

The Maharaja - Indian Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

The Maharaja replaced what was once known as The Mad Hatter pub. The space they have now is a lot larger in size than I previously recall. The restaurant is located near Paramount Butcher Shop. Went for lunch with a friend. The restaurant was empty upon arrival and yet we were asked if we had reservations.. They provide a tour prior to seating you. The place is decorated with opulent furnishings, which is common for Indian restaurants. When given menus, they explain that the type of cuisine offered is divided into four regions, with the first two being less spicy. You are then given a complimentary shot of whatever non-alcoholic beverage they have made that day, which entices the palate. Service was spotty. We had one too many people coming over to our table to explain things, which got a bit confusing as to whom was serving us. Besides that, the service is friendly and for the most part, informative. When your dishes first arrive, they serve you. Dishes are small but rich, flavourful and filling. We ordered two kinds, a chicken dish and a vegetarian dish to share with a generous helping of Naan bread on the side. Prices are on the higher end, but so is the quality. Appetizers are moderately priced but main courses can be expensive. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Great customer service. For first time comers you get a welcome tour for the restaurant design and history. Really antique building. And they preserved the structure. Food was amazinnnngggggg. Will go there again and again. They explained the menu to you. Very respectful environment. Worthy of their prices for the food. read more

The Maharaja specialized in showcasing Indian history and offered the royal dining experience. The menu is divided in 4 different sessions; 4 different flavours of 4 different regions of India. Each session has its very own appetizers, main and desserts​. You are greeted with, in my opinion, the most knowledgeable and courteous server. He gives you the restaurant speech and brings a complementary minty drink (sorry I don't know the name). We got the lentil and paneer dish, with naan. Their naan is hands down the best I've ever had. The portions are generous. Highly recommend! read more

What a dining experience. Food is on pricier end (maybe just a few dollars more per dish than your average Indian place) but you get your money's worth with the food quality and the service from the staff. Us three young lads ate sharing three dishes + naan, at the end we were all stuffed and the bills averaged out to $23 per person. No dessert, no drinks. They have coat check at the door. It's decorated very nicely but the ceilings are a little low so inside it's a little quiet and the air flow is not like a huge hall environment if that makes sense. They even give you a tour of the restaurant if you ask, but again it is not a big place but I suppose they need to be fancy. Staff very professional and helpful and they will scoop food on your plate for you first time they bring it out. They will bring out lukewarm lemon water after the meal for you to clean your fingers, don't drink it! Try this place out if you feel like getting quality. read more

I visit Maharaja every single time I visit Toronto. I love this restaurant and I'm not just referring to the food. The ambience, the servers, the manager - EVERY single person is so polite. They go above and beyond to make you feel special. We visited during the New Year's Eve special this time. The price was very reasonable (45$ per person for the full dinner) plus there was a belly dance. The food was great. They accommodated a few requests we made. The manager is SUPER polite and asked us several times if we liked the food or if there's anything they could do. The service felt very personalized. The belly dance was good too. Overall, we felt well taken care of throughout the evening. I recommend this place for its ambience, it's food and most importantly the staff who always treats us so well. I will visit every single time I'm in Toronto. read more

Absolutely THE best Indian restaurant in sauga! We came a bit late at their busiest time without reservation. But Sid was very nice to find us a table! She was so considering. We ordered Bhuteyan Da Kebab (corn potato cake with herb, green chilies and spices) and shajahani baadal jaam (eggplant with tomato garlic top, so good) as appetizer. we ordered butter chicken, maharaja dal makhani (lentil soup) and chooza makhani (chicken). Everything were so good, full of flavour and tasty. We certainly come back for more!! read more

We have tried 4 times since August to come and eat here on a weekend but they have always been booked up. This time we got a reservation on a Friday at 9pm, which is too late for me. We wanted 8pm but they said either 6 or 9 and my kids don't get home by 6 on a Friday. Anyways, we arrived around 8:35 and were seated right away. My kids and cousin asked for the tour of the restaurant...my husband and I had it last time we ate there. It is very nice how they explain the history of the building, as well as the history of the maharajas and their food. The restaurant manager was our server and they seemed understaffed. At one point he cleared half the appetizer dishes and went to do something else but didn't return to remove the others. The lady putting new dishes out had to put her pile of plates down to clear the others. We had ordered the eggplant app which was forgotten and never arrived and my son requested a second mojito when asked by the server but that also never arrived. The food we did order and received was excellent! The guys all shared a meat appetizer platter that had a variety of about 6 different meat/seafood items. I had the lentil soup app, which was spicy and flavourful. I ordered the vegetables cooked in a garlicky spinach sauce, which was awesome! So great to get spinach without the paneer! The guys shared 2 chicken dishes, lamb, rice, garlic naan and lacheda paratha. Everyone was satisfied but consensus was they did not like the chicken stuffed with cheese in a nutty sauce. Half liked the lamb and the other half didn't. They finished with kulfi, rad malai and gulag jamun and everyone was happy....except me...no dairy free desserts available. The Green teaser drink was enjoyed by all, hubby had the spicy chat masala drink which I found overwhelming, and my son had the mango mojito which was awesome. The meal is on the expensive side and the server serves you the food when it arrives at the table. I suggest labeling the menu with gf and vegan items so it's easier to get through the extensive menu. Vegetarian items are marked, but marking the others would help me more as I don't want the dairy items. Staff are very friendly and parking is in the lot of the attached plaza. read more

We went there as a group of 6 to try their Eid buffet. The food portions were MASSIVE! We got both the non vegetarian option (for most of us on the table) and 2 veggie options (just to mix things up). Their apps were my favourite! From paneer tikka, to hara bhara kebabs, everything was delicious. The main course was creamy and well made, but a too heavy on the spices side for me personally. The dessert was tiny (I wish I had more!!) but was yummy none the less. Overall a nice spot for a night out or a special occasion with the family. Definitely beats all the other buffet places in Mississauga. The only thing I didn't love was that their naans were not amazing, and that is a huge deal for an Indian place for me. All in all, worth a shot! read more

If you want a special occasion Indian restaurant The Maharaja is it! Combining great food and a location that's worth a visit just to check out, and the emphasis they put in to customer service is very apparent. On entry they ask you if you've dined there before and for all first timers, they offer a mini tour of the building which used to be a farm house that's now exquisitely transformed in to a dining space. Their beautiful menu is divided by different regions of India. And the server does a good job explaining what that means for the food, aka cooked using more peanuts, being spciy etc. We had their tandoori chicken to start which came in skewers and as good as any tadoor I've had, followed by a paneer dish, a spicy chicken dish, biryani and soft delicious roti. All hitting the right spot!! Not huge potions but certainly enough to fill you up and we were happy to take the remainder packed up. A nice touch is they provide everyone a shot of welcome drink, a very refreshing minty mix. Their mango lassi was also creamy and the right amount of sweet for me. Overall a very solid meal experience and I'd say the elevated customer service makes a visit here worth it even though you could find as good food elsewhere in the Mississauga for slightly cheaper. read more

We came in by chance while we tried to wait out rush hour and I'm so glad we did! They were very welcoming to us even with everyone in the party wearing steel toes and cargo pants. When we first arrived we were warmly greeted and offered a tour of the restaurant. They explained the history of the building, the themes of each dining space and the unique characteristics such as the beautiful Swarovski crystal Chandeliers and the one of a kind, stone bar counter. We got a chance to learn about their gorgeous paintings as well. Before we even sat down, we loved the restaurant! One thing I was quite surprised with was how great the restaurant smelled. Typically restaurants smell good, but with the amount and variety of herbs and spices used in Indian cooking, I expected to walk into the dining room and be hit pretty hard, but the dining room had a very light and pleasant aroma. Our server, Gagan, explained the specialties of each regions section of the menu. We were easily sold on one of their new meat/kabob platters, garlic Naan and butter chicken. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. It was absolutely delicious! Everyone would have licked their plates clean, if anyone had any room left. We also shared a dessert. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it, but it was fantastic! It reminded me of a pancake with a sweet syrup and pistachios. Not only was all the food amazing, but the prices were much more reasonable than you can typically expect at a restaurant of this calibre. We were all impressed with The Maharaja and had unforgettable experience! Well definitely be back and share our experience with others. Thank you! read more

Ok so this place is STUNNING inside! Hands down the prettiest Indian restaurant I've been in by far! The food was delicious and they even catered to some of my dietary restrictions. When I was leaving they said next time let them know ahead of time and the chef could even prepare some special vegan dishes for us. Awesome customer service! Really great all around. I only wish the prices weren't as steep for the portions sizes received. I will say though the quality was lovely, but the purchase price of lentils is very low and the price they charge for some of their lentil dishes is rather high. I understand it is fine dining here but a little give and take (price wise) for certain items would go a long way. Overall I would go here again for sure. Just next time I'd like to leave with my wallet a little heavier than when I left the last time. Oh one last thing. The cocktails were interesting but not interesting enough for me to order again. Maybe that would be the only thing I'd say was not to the level I expected of this establishment. For sure though, give this place a try for any special occasions or even a night out. It really was beautiful and the food was great! read more

Anybody out there still miss old-school type of service ? If so then this place deserves more than a five star just for attempting it. Imagine actually somebody serving the food to you at table side. Or how about opening the door when you leave. Not everything was perfect in the service dept as I had to request them to remove the cutlery along with the plates after appetizers. It should be standard to remove both. You will not get this level of service at Bukhara Grill, Avani, The Host, Nirvana, etc. At $25 the shrimp curry was well worth the price for the quality. Fresh tiger shrimp in the thick gravy. The breads were ho-hum. However just check out this presentation for these kebabs. Marvellous. The only thing I did not notice which was odd was the plate sizes too big for the table. Even though we were two people on the table hardly enough room on a table for 4. read more

Excellent service, nice decor and well, average food. Given that it's fine dining the prices are high but they are not reflective of food. Sadly we aren't craving for any dish based on our first visit so far. Having said that, I must admit that everything felt fresh and made from good quality ingredients. Appetizers: Dahi ke Kebab (Kebabs made of Yogurt) - Sweet and cheesy Haryali Murgh Ke Parche (Chicken Breast) - Standard kebabs in green paste Main Course: Lamb biryaani - Flavored albeit with lamb pieces which could be more tender Khatti Daal - Not what it's supposed to be. Should be thin in consistency and more tangy Nargisi Kofta Curry (Boiled Egg marinated with minced chicken, deep fried, in a curry) - Best entrée in my opinion. Maybe because I'm partial to eggs. Pudina paratha - Pretty good Drinks: Regular Mojito - Perfect! Rose wine (Sutterhome zinfandel California) - A $10 wine from LCBO but paired nicely with the food My key take away from our dinner was the wine which I'm going to stock upon for the winters. Maybe we'll return when we're feeling generous and wish to be pampered a bit (hopefully for an amazing palatable experience next time). read more

Been here a handful of times and have had a range of experiences. First time for our anniversary when they first opened wasn't great. With reservations we were still seated late after a few other groups who came in after us. Then after following up twice and almost leaving we were finally seated. Similar experience when we sat down, other tables around us were getting service and water and drinks. Took us awhile to get water and our order taken. We didn't get a welcome shot like the tables next to us. The food was amazing but the service soured our first experience. The second time i came was with my sister and her gf. We were there for a special dining course set menu. This time was a full 5 stars. They were accommodating to our vegetarian and meat eating selections for the set menu. Their welcome drink was delicious! Minty and fresh. Each dish came with explanations and pride. The food was coma inducing good, tons of flavors and the variety between each dish was great. The 4 vegetarian entrees were each unique and full of flavour! We left after dessert barely able to move! I do wish they did take out containers as it is wasteful to not allow diners to do so. Service was great, consistent water top up, friendly staff and fun exchanges. Great for a special night out or if you're looking for delicious special dining experience with traditional dishes from 4 different regions within India. Love their large selection with meat and veg options. The inside has changed dramatically since its pub days, really gorgeous decor and comfy big chairs. Each corner or room feel different from the other. read more

My husband took me last night for my birthday. I must say this is the nicest Indian restaurant I've ever been to. We walked in and it was so beautifully lit. The decor and ambiance was out of this world. The attention to detail and Color scheme was amazing. I've been to so many restaurants in Mississauga and hands down best decor out there. I particularly love the Meena Lisa painting beautiful. We ordered the seekh kabob beef and delicious. Perfectly cooked and not too spicy. And the presentation was wonderful and unique. We also ordered the aloo paratha and 5/5 We ordered the pudina paratha and that was 4/5 And lastly ordered the chicken boneless in a tomato and onion gravy. This was my favourite. So flavourful and delicious. The experience was perfect. I really enjoyed myself. I will go back. read more

If you are looking for a generic, cheap, quick and easy Indian meal go to the Amaya in the Square One food court. HOWEVER, if you are looking for a fine dining experience in Indian food then The Maharaja is the place for you. Located in a historic building, this place is visually pleasing from the moment you see it. The interior decor is like no other Indian restaurant I have ever seen. It's elegant. From the moment you step in, it's very apparent that a great deal of thought was put into each and every room. As the management mentioned on a tour of the restaurant (which was offered when they learnt we had never been there before), each of the dining rooms have a different decor that matches a theme. From the paintings ("Mena Lisa" was my favourite, The Indian Mona Lisa), to the door handles and light fixtures, everything comes together for an ambiance of luxury and quality. Even their menu has separate themes and you can order accordingly. The Maharaja also has a comprehensive wine and alcoholic drink menu which is not usual for an Indian restaurant. We ordered the Subz Hara Bhara Kebab as an appetizer, the Murgh Lababdar, Amir Shaan Lobster, Mirch Baingan Ka Salan and Naan-i-Lasooni as the mains, and Lab-E-Mashookh as dessert. Each dish was delightful. I have never had lobster with an Indian twist and it was lovely. The Kulfi was perfectly creamy and rich with flavours of Saffron and Cardamom. At the end of dinner in true fine Indian dining style, there was a bowl of warm water with lemon to rinse our hands brought to the table. If you are looking for a fine dining experience with an extensive Indian menu that includes items not usually found in North America, then The Maharaja is a must visit. I highly recommend this place. read more

Love this restaurant! The quality of food is spectacular. So much flavour and meat is well cooked. As soon as you enter the restaurant they take your jacket and youre seated. We got the lunch menu and it was $16 per person for appetizers, unlimited mains, and a dessert. The only downside was the wait time. The restaurant wasn't even too busy but it took us over an hour just to get food, it was wayyyyyy too long! Overall, we had a great experience read more

Great food and selection. The service is fantastic as well, and they are really consistent with the quality. Hands down the best Indian food restaurant in the area. read more

Fancy Indian cuisine. The service and setting were impeccable and very suitable for a fancy occasion. However the food was just average. While presented very nicely, the tandoori was very dry and the sauces fell flat. I would recommend some of the special cocktails as they are very unique. read more
