Maharaja Indian Restaurant

Tucked along Papanui Road, Maharaja Indian Restaurant and Cocktail Bar serves up timeless Indian favourites. Now set in the historic Papanui train station on Restell Street, Maharaja breathes new life into a familiar name – honouring its roots while elevating the experience to meet contemporary tastes and refined expectations.

Start your meal with freshly made naan breads, tender chicken tikka, or the Maharaja’s platter for two. Favourite curries include kadai gosht, dahl chah, and the exotic prawn Malabari – not forgetting their famously creamy butter chicken.

Vegetarians are in for a treat, with a tempting lineup of rich, flavour-packed vegetable curries. Clearly labelled gluten-friendly options make it easy to tuck in with confidence and plenty of appetite.

Round things off with a sweet touch: traditional Indian desserts like creamy kulfi or syrup-soaked gulab jamun. Pair your meal with a pick from the extensive drinks list, which ranges from tea and coffee to refreshing tipples and cheeky cocktails.

Feeling like royalty comes easy at Maharaja, where warm ambience, top-notch service, and flavour-packed dishes have earned it a glowing Certificate of Excellence on TripAdvisor.
