					Excellent food. Service was great. Bathroom was leaking water and no toilet paper was available. Other than that minor experience. I found the place lovely and the service was excellent as well.

					Wherever I go to a new city, I love to try the Indian food. Albany, this is a gem! I have never had better Indian food anywhere in the country. The complexities of flavors and textures and temperatures that make Indian food spectacular are all here. I had a sweet lassi, vegetable samosas, naan and Navratan Korma. Flawless.

					DO NOT GET FOOD FROM HERE ! This place is a rip-off and absolute scam . I ordered 3 items ( 6 GARLIC NAN , 1 SAAG PANEER and 1 CHICKEN VINDALOO) . They charged me $ 15 for SAAG PANEER and $17 for CHICKEN VINDALOO and it came on those tiny containers. The saag paneer barely had 5 pieces of small cubes of paneer on it and same for the chicken . No taste at all . It's just filled with red chilli powder . The Naan tasted like the frozen garlic naan that I buy from store and heat up in micro wave . It wasn't made like it is made the right way in other indian restaurants. Absolutely Disgusting !!

					I recently had my first visit to this Indian restaurant, and it was an absolute delight. The curry goat was exceptional, bursting with rich flavors that left a lasting impression. The drinks were fabulous, adding a perfect complement to the already fantastic dining experience. Every dish I tried was incredibly flavorful, making this restaurant a definite 5-star gem.

					If you want the real authentic Indian food and culture experience this is the only place to go. They have been around for a long time and have it down. Reasonable prices and great food. The entire Indian experience in the capital district.

					To those of you who really appreciate real authentic Indian Food, listen carefully to me, stop looking and searching around, this is THE Place, there is NO better Indian food in the USA than right here, trust me I've been to over 50 Countries and all across the USA - this is by far, and I mean by a long way the very best representation of Indian cuisine you will find outside of India itself.    I'll tell you just how good it is, I'm driving from Buffalo to Boston today, I can do it in one day but I choose not to, I would rather incur the expense of a hotel on Wolf Road just so I can experience once more this World Class dining experience.

					This culinary expedition at Maharaja Indian Restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary. Amidst my extensive dining experiences this year, including numerous visits to Indian eateries, this one stands tall as the zenith. It's a rarity for me to grant a perfect five-star rating, but this establishment unequivocally earned it.  Commencing with a libation, the Flying Horse Royal from Bangalore graced my palate with its remarkable flavors. The Vegetable Samosas, a gustatory marvel, boasted an impeccably crispy shell enveloping a treasure trove of explosive flavors.  However, the apex of this gastronomic journey was undeniably the Paani Poori. These ethereal, hollow spheres, filled with chickpeas and potatoes, filled with "dirty water," then embellished with an assortment of chutneys, were nothing short of revelatory.  Speaking of chutneys, the trio of mint, tamarind, and pepper offerings were unparalleled, so delightful that I found myself savoring them independently after the meal's conclusion.  The Tandoori Murg, a house specialty, showcased a spring chicken marinated in Tandoori Masala and yogurt, then masterfully charred in a Tandoor oven over smoldering charcoal. The result? Pure culinary bliss. Accompanied by what I believe to be Dal Makhani, a lentil dish that tantalized the taste buds, it was an ensemble of perfection.  The Garlic Naan, light, crispy, and imbued with an aromatic garlic essence, proved to be the finest I've encountered in quite some time.  Even though I dined solo, every morsel of this exceptional meal vanished into my eager appetite, leaving me delightfully stuffed. To top it off, a complimentary dessert, Ras Malai, graced my table—homemade farmer's cheese adorned with pistachios, swimming in sweetened milk. My initial reluctance to indulge further was shattered by its irresistible allure.  The service, delivered by a cadre of amiable individuals, was nothing short of excellent. Without reservation, I implore you not to overlook this gastronomic gem. A dining experience at Maharaja Indian Restaurant is an absolute must.

					A cozy and romantic place for great Indian cuisine. Their menus explain what some of the different dishes are for those that aren't  familiar  with this type of foods. Everything was delicious and the staff were polite and attentive.

					I have eaten on and off at Maharaja for the last few years but not left a review until now. Something has changed there. I am not sure whether it's new ownership, management, or new cooks. No matter what it is, the food is the best I have ever had at Maharaja. It's fresh, delicious, and served quickly. Great job guys at changing things.

					Excellent food. Good service.  We’ve eaten here twice in recent months. Food is the real deal! We are vegetarians and there are many great choices.  Service was excellent the first time and okay last night. Many ,what appear to be, Indian-heritage people always here which signals “authentic” to me.  Worth going and we will go again.

					Special lunch My husband and I had a very special anniversary lunch and enjoyed our meal very much. I had the chickeb kofta masala which is mow my favorite  aling with the saag paneer. My husband enjoed his samosas and vegetables vindaloo. The dessert of kulfi and pan icream wa a treat. The food and service continues to improve every time we go there. Our server was especially nice to us and she made our special day even better.

					Food was good. The man with spects, ( he must be the head or owner) took the order but didn't even bother to interact properly. We are 2 people, ordered food and asked him to leave one menu card on table to order later, after couple of minutes we added an item and his immediate response was taking menu from our hands abruptly and asked us anything else in a sarcastic way. We observed his behavior with bigger group of people and can see his service towards them was little better. Not sure his behavior differs for bigger group of people. Even though selling food is a business, politeness adds great taste to what ever you serve. Need to get proper training on way to handle customers.

					I have never eaten here in person so I cant give it five stars without that knowledge, but I will say that their food is absolutely fantastic. The garlic naan is so good with the chicken tikki masala.
