I recently visited Maharaja Indian Grill to catch up with some out-of-town friends. We ordered dal makhani, papdi chaat, various breads, mango shake, mutton, and chicken curry.The service was very good. The staff kept checking in to see if we needed anything, and they made sure my friend's kid was comfortable.My friends liked the food, and I personally enjoyed the dal makhani. I was expecting a bit more from the chaat, though.The interiors are decent with a cultural touch.

Super satisfying! The quality of an Indian restaurant is so dependent on its naan. The naan here is fluffy and buttery, exactly the way you would want it. We got the butter chicken and the bhindi. While butter chicken was good, the standout here was the bhindi. There's a tendency to overcook the okra, but here's it's perfectly done. I would go back to try some of their other dishes. Also the restaurant itself is cute with traditional Indian seating mixed with a more modern decor.

I went to Maharaj for lunch and ordered a lunch special. The customer service was good as I was greeted and sat immediately. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. The lunch menu was well priced and you receive a lot of food. I ordered my dishes with medium heat but they tasted more on the mild side. One of the dishes was served colder than I would of liked and a bit salty. I also ordered a Mango drink and it was warm. I had to request a glass with ice. Overall this was a good place to get a quick Indian lunch special for a great price.

Great experience overall at Maharaj! We came in for a quick late lunch, and were seated immediately. The interior is a mix of casual and formal dining. Waiter staff was attentive. We got a chicken lollipop and a Maharaj mix combo. The chicken lollipops were good, crispy and light. The sauce was similar to a sweet and sour sauce, which was a little unexpected, but overall good. I loved the Maharaj mix, especially for the value. You get a dal dish, butter chicken, a few pieces of tandoori chicken and a few pieces of kabob, naan, rice, and dessert, all for slightly more than the price of a regular entree with naan. This was more than enough food for 2. All the food tasted good. Not incredible, but solid for indian food for sure. Will be back if craving indian food in the area!

You know it's going to be good when it's an Indian restaurant and all the customers and staff are Indian!! We came here on July 4 without a resy but only waited about 20 minutes. You need to come and get their dinner combo for one. For $25 you can get two full size (and delicious) spicy meat and daal curry, a sizzling plate of grilled meats, rice, and naan! We also got the biryani. We didn't know how big the portions would be, but the waitress was so sweet that she told us we'd be ordering too much. She kept checking up on us and asking if the food was enough, and we felt so big backed for even have considering ordering more before the food came. All of the food was amazing and well spiced. Standouts were the spicy meat curry and the lamb kebab in the grilled plate. Definitely add Maharaj to your Chicago itinerary!

As soon as we stepped inside, place was popping with a diverse crowd. Place had good energy and lively music!Food was delicious & packed with flavor. Starting with the samosas - they were bigger than I imagined and were filled with a generous amount of yummy meat within a crispy outer layer. Moving onto the goat curry and lamb chops - our waiter told us how the goat curry was one of his faves when he brought out the dish and it was VERY clear why! The goat was so tender and cooked to perfection. The lamb chops were a close 2nd to the goat curry but was a standout dish in its own right! We also tried out a few of their alcoholic drinks, which were kinda disappointing so would just avoid those. Otherwise, an affordable place with great eats and vibrant energy!

The food and presentation was great, the service was very good, and the atmosphere was really cool. My husband and I came here for a nice meal after arriving in Chicago and we had one of the best Indian meals we've had in a long time! We got the Chef's Platter which had chicken and fish tikka, Rogan Josh, daal makhani, some grilled minced meat, and naan & rice. I also got a masala chai and my husband got a mango lassi. Everything was delicious and it was the perfect amount of food for us.
