Sarah Sharmin
Beautiful interior and awesome hosting! Loved every bit of the moment and food. Raja thali is perfect for two people as a main meal. Thali comes with a lentil soup. It was too good that I forgot to take a picture. I believe they have the best Chai Masala tea. I love the balance and consistency of that tea with the light punch of Ginger and other masala’s. We came back today to have tea again. We wanted to come for dinner but we are also trying out other restaurants. While trying other Indian restaurant we missed the Masala Chai of Maharaja… It seemed they were surprised that we just ordered Chai and Papad. But we loved having tea over there. We are going to go back for lunch or dinner again. It is worth going.

Amazing! I’m sitting here 2 days later enjoying leftovers that are still pure perfection. I went with my Husband for our anniversary (thanks for the dessert!!) and we had a great time. The staff was friendly, the service was quick and the food was perfect. An amazing balance of spices and everything was so tender and delicious. I highly recommend this place. The best chicken korma I’ve ever had plus the most perfectly fried fish you could imagine.

We were in the Albany area visiting from NYC and decided to try this place out because of the fabulous reviews. We had come on a Sunday for their lunch buffet and as other reviewers said they are extremely limited in their buffet. We ordered a long island ice tea (watered down) & Tamarind Margarita ( mind blowing delicious ).
