Maharajah (Cape Town) 

Food:

Fabulous South and North Indian curries in large portions offer outstanding value and great flavour. Try the prawn curry, lamb curry on the bone served with sambals – order cucumber raita, roti, mango pickle or lentil dhal as a side and settle in for a fine Indian feast. There are lots of good vegetarian options too.

Wine:

A good selection of tried-and-tested wines from R70–R120 a bottle, and a decent selection by the glass too.

Service:

A mature, informed, no-nonsense, old-school team of waitrons who have worked here from the start.

Ambience:

Recently relocated from Long Street, the restaurant is split over four interleading rooms with sparse Indian-themed decor and fabulous views over Kloof Nek and Table Mountain, so book a table at the window.

And...:

You get the best potato samoosas here. (BS, September 2010)

From the decor to the uninspiring menu and overly acidic food, this is one of the worst meals I've had in Cape Town. I just can't see how this place receives rave reviews.

After having an awful experience at Vintage India we were thereafter referred to the Maharajah Indian Restaurant - we had an amazing meal accompanied with warm and friendly service. I personally thought I was at home - the staff was great. Gosh the lamb curry was better than the Durban chow. Thumbs up to the Radisson hotel for sending us to the best curry house.

Had a lovely time at the Maharajah. Amazing food, no words can describe the incredible taste of their butter chicken. The service from Kevin was excellent! Had an all round fantastic birthday evening out. Thank you.
