India, for those not familiar, is a nation with diverse people, land, climate and religion that resulted in culinary diversity that is second to none. From the mouth watering pilaf of Kashmir, rotis and daal makhani of Punjab, sweet and salty dishes of Gujarat, Poha of Maharashtra, idli and dosa varieties of Karnataka, sea food of Goa, spicy food of Andras, rich and tasty desserts from Bengal, tandoori from north and sambar and chettinad dishes from Tamil Nadu.

Food quality was decent (in my limited experience with Indian food), portions were definitely healthy, and the prices were definitely fair. 6 of us in our party, had 2 shared appetizers, and 6 dinner plates, and the total only came to a little over $110, not including tip. We only drank water, though beer, wine, and soft drinks were available. The atmosphere was a little lacking, if you’re searching for that exotic Indian vibe, more closely resembled a casual diner, not unpleasant, just boring, but clean, and seating was ample. For the price, definitely worth a try, but Indian food isn’t really my cup of tea….if you’re like me, try the fried rice, it was pretty good, and not loaded with Turmeric and/or curry.

My wife and I are from out of state visiting our adult daughter. We are all fans of Indian cuisine, and my daughter’s Indian co-workers from her nearby office recommended the Maharaja where we stopped for dinner. We ordered the mulligatawny soup and samosas as appetizers. The soup was not as thick as I am more accustomed to, but it was delicious. The Samosas were hot, hearty, and flavorful. We each got a different entrée of which each of us sampled the other’s. The owner asked each of us our preferred spice level and had our choices made to that specification, which we appreciated. All three of our dishes were wonderful. My wife, had lived in India and was familiar with regional cuisines and found that our three dishes all represented the regions she assumed and had a great conversation about them with the owner. I got a lamb dish, my wife got a chicken dish and my daughter’s was goat. Having those choices was quite a treat.

The food is amazing (garlic naan, samosas, chicken korma, and chai were ALL top notch) and the service is speedy and reliable. Prices are super fair too! All around one of my favorite Indian places in Omaha.

Been here a few times, usually called in orders. Started trying the website the use for orders, first one went fine, this time did not realize that you could submit orders for times they would close, until I went to pick up the food. A little annoyed that I couldn’t pick up at that time, but also my fault I didn’t check the hours. No big deal, I cancelled my order (or thought I did) and went to get the Chinese food and sushi for my family and some Greek for me.

Prices are decent and slightly cheaper if you eat in the restaurant rather than online. Very authentic, everything was delicious. Did not try the buffet but was pleased with everything we ordered.

Got some kind of goat Curry and biryani. I ordered medium and I could tolerate it. Flavor was great. The garlic naan was very tasty. Excellent chai, 8 Oz for $4. Service was fair for as many staff as was working. We did have to wait to get our check. Refills we’re a little slow, it started getting busy after we received our order. I would patronize again. Prices reflect the new normal for local Indian cuisine.

A good Indian food experience after a very long time in Omaha! I have had lunch buffet as well as dine-in! Sujana showed a really good hospitality to us! She is quite humble and cooperative! Food quality is great. It tastes fresh and balanced in spice. We had gobi manchurian in appetiser and malai kofta in main course. Pretty authentic! Buffet has nice varieties with pretty good desert.

The food was awesome. Fried cauliflower and lamb curry. So good. Spicy and flavorful. We tried a few different breads and mushroom soup. It does not have great atmosphere, but it was quiet and relaxing. Lots of door dash take out orders while were eating.

I ordered the rice pudding this evening with my to-go meal. I opened the container and there is mold growing on it. This is a huge red flag and health and safety issue. Please do not eat here as they are not properly handling their food.
