We visited here in March and were not disappointed. The service was exceptional, very diligent and friendly, even enquired to what we were celebrated and congratualted me on finishing my degree. We were served complimentary popadoms, and dinner was delicious. Highly recommend the Lamb rogan josh, and butter chicken. The restaurant is situated in a converted house and has been... More

Ate here twice on our 2 stays in Christchurch. The place has a nice relaxed ambience and can get pretty busy - we ate on an outside table the 2nd time as inside was full. The food is excellent quality and cooked to your preferred heat. When I asked for mine hot I was given the choice of 'Kiwi hot'... More

Indian Curry is my favourite food and this is my favourite Indian restaurant. Great decor, great food and great value. I am so glad they are back from their earthquake nightmare. But back, better than ever.

We had our Staff Christmas break-up on Friday. The food was really good but the service was not. The meals did not come out at the same time, half of us had finished our entree before the rest of the table got theirs, the same happened for our mains. Would return again for the great food.

Excellent food and first class service. This restaurant is set in an old villa and is really worth a visit if you like Indian food. Great menu selection and great tasting food. Has a small bar for a quiet drink before your meal as well.

We had the banquet menu for 6. Selection of entrees by Maharaja. Each of us ordered a seperate main, which we all shared, along with rice for the table, all which was delicious - not too hot, and not too mild. Prompt service for drinks - mango lassi, wine and beers, with attentive staff. The evening we dined (a Monday),... More

I visited this restaunarnt in its old location before the earthquake. The new location is in a converted villa - newly refurbished, all clean and tidy, every fixture and fitting brand new, a very relaxing and up-market situation. I particularly noted the quality glassware and the immiculately clean toilets. Service was friendly and attentive, food quality good. The Maharaja Platter... More
