Maharaja means king and as an Indian, I can say that Maharaja Bhog is the king of Indian food in Houston. Everything else pales in comparison.The staff and the owners are all extremely accommodating, patient and kind. They are amazing hosts and very warm.I would strongly recommend trying this to everyone. I have often seen more international crowd here than Indian even though the food is authentic Indian. Must try!!
Just go. Slightly pricy. But, being served in a traditional Indian Thali and not having to get up to go get a refill is something everyone must enjoy. The food itself was absolutely fantastic. The refill of you plates and bowls is also great. The only thing I wish they do better justice with, is their desserts. But still don't miss the whole experience.
Great food, but terrible service. Would not recommend unless you are the target demographic or feeling adventurous.Very noisy environment. Also the restaurant folks told us to "seat properly". Whatever that means, I didn't like it.Oh, also they don't have a menu. Make sure you know what you are signing up for before going in.
The restaurant is easily accessible. We went on a Saturday and there was about a 45 minute wait time, once seated they serve you Unlimited Gujarati food. The menu is pretty standard with 2 to 3 vegetables, two different types of Indian bread, some appetizers, few curries and sweets. The food was tasty although I found it a bit overpriced. They go around the table multiple times asking if you need additional servings, the waiters were very friendly and sweet. We heard the owner yelling at one of the waiter and it left a bad taste, it spoilt our experience. There is no excuse for such a rude behavior. All of the waiters seem to be of Mexican origin and we’re very friendly. Overall, the food was tasty and it is worth experiencing it once-Being served food on a plate multiple times. Usually Indian food is a buffet and one has to get up and go fetch for oneself. This restaurant is a refreshing change in that food comes to you! But a restaurant experience is more than food; Probably would not be back to this restaurant under the current management because of witnessing the manager treat employees very rudely.
Unlimited premium vegetarian food. Enough said! If you don't know what to order but want to eat quality Indian meal, and if like the food to be served without you having to lift a finger, this is it. Amazing food from Rajasthan in India served with diligence. Always a pleasure to treat yourself here. They have more than a dozen different dishes each day, and everything is authentic and delicious, not to forget the food is unlimited! Don't forget to make room for khichdi (creamy lentil rice)! They also have a mild option for their food. So glad to have this gem of vegetarian restaurant.
Food, ambience and serving was awesome. Me and my family enjoyed.
Too much rushing. Almost pushed to eat and finish promptly. Food quality average to below average compared to other Indian restaurants. Value for money very poor. The manager offered pan as if it was part of the fixed charge, but there was additional charge. Place is crowded.
The food is good quality.Definitely needs some work to maintain the taste and authenticity.For the price point in houston it felt expensive.Food quality - 10/10Quantity- 10/10Taste - 7/10Location & ambience- 8/10Hospitality - 7/10Things to improve-- Taste and premium makeover.- Workers where not trained to know the dish they served.Only manager knew everything and did welcoming.- Price point revaluation. (15-18$ would be appropriate)
Authentic vegetarian thali experience. This restaurant is not for the faint of heart or wannabe foodies. If you want an authentic explosion of Indian flavor and spices in your mouth, this is the place to go in Houston. I recommend eating with your hand, your right hand to be exact.You will enjoy the style of service with half a dozen people coming by your table to fill your your plate and your soul with delights!
December 2021Two things are a common theme for this restaurant; delicious food and horrible wait times. Let me elaborate the latter: We were a party of 5 on a Sunday afternoon and were told the wait time would be around 45 minutes. So, we returned after 30 minutes to check the status and believe me when I say this, we waited another 1hr 30 minutes for a table. Yikes!Let’s talk about the food, and oh my god, this is a long list. If you’ve never had a THALI before, this will surely be a different experience and you’d be taken aback by the sheer quantity of food at display.The thali -2 appetizers: Dhokla and a fried pakora.Dal bhati.4 curries: spinach, potato, paneer and some vegetable curry.2 different types of dal, one was sweet along with kadhi.Roti and puri (different types of bread)2 different deserts, salads, sauces and masala chaas (buttermilk).I tried almost all of the food that was served and I liked most of them. The food was fresh, delicious and tasty. The service was on point and the servers would come around often asking to refill your plate with food. The place was big enough and spacious with ample parking space outside. The thali cost us around $23 per person.My verdict? I’d give an A for the food and modest C- in terms of handling guests and assigning tables. It was a chaotic mess outside the restaurant with people waiting for hours just to be seated. These folks need a better reservation system to handle their guests. The guy handling the list of guests looked frustrated and would definitely benefit with some help.Would I love to eat here again? Absolutely! Would I wait for another hour and a half just to be seated on top of the 45 minutes that was stated before? NO
