Maharaja Indian Restaurant

Vibes, immaculate. Staff, immeasurably kind. Food, HITS EVERYTIME. These kind folks really know their way around some spices and the kitchen. The consistency in the food quality and flavor is a rarity and so refreshing not having to wonder how good it'll be today. The to-go lunch buffet is very reasonable and the options are tasty. They even have desserts and of course vegetarian options. The food is devoid of heat so if you've tried other local restaurants or are just very shy of spicy food the offerings that I tried were mild but sooo flavorful. HIGHLY recommend to anyone especially people who havent tried SE Asian dishes besides butter chicken before.

I was really excited to try this restaurant after moving to the area. Tonight I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala through doordash and was a bit underwhelmed by the flavor right off the bat. There was zero spice and just a lack of depth. I’m used to burning lips and a runny nose when I eat Indian food, but I was fine to continue eating it since I paid a good bit for delivery. But the thing that really got me was the brown pieces of meat in my Masala sauce. I ordered chicken, and these clearly were either beef and/or goat. It honestly made me feel like I was eating someone else's leftovers that they just mixed some chicken into. And this wasn't like it was one or two pieces that accidentally fell into my meal, it was shredded up and everywhere. It really grossed me out to the point that I couldn't eat anymore. I'm extremely disappointed and likely won't order from here again. I'm honestly not the type to leave a review when I simply don’t like something or if the flavor isn’t my favorite, but this was truly gross enough that I feel like I've gotta warn people. Beware!

Admittedly, I have been critical of the food here over the last 15 years, but I will say, there has been a major improvement in the dishes. The last two times I came for lunch, there were many excellent dishes. The butter chicken, saag paneer, and beef Jalfrezi were spot on. The curry gravy is creamy and the meats are perfectly cooked. The samosa’s were crispy and tender, not greasy or dry. Give Maharaja another chance if you’ve been like me and didn’t like the food a few years ago.

I have been coming here for 25 years. Always had the lunch buffet and it always been so consistent with cleanliness, service and good food. A nice selection of soup, salad, hot dishes and a dessert or 2. Never had an ordered dish from the menu or to go so I can't comment on that but the buffet may be the best Indian buffet in the Fort Worth area.

9/16 9/17 9/18 9/23 10/22/24 Dined here several times while staying in Fort Worth. I posted pictures of these visits, each time was deliciously consistent. Wonderful friendly service. The Sunday buffet is very good as well. I also noticed lots of take out. Plenty of parking.
