Maharaja (Sakinaka, Andheri East)

Good food not served too well

The name may be a little misleading, but Maharaja does serve excellent Chinese food (besides its Indian specialties, of course). The Crispy Chicken, while a little on the spicier side and not as Crispy as the name suggests, is extremely palatable with its garnishing of onions and carrots; it is just the right accompaniment to your aperitif. For the main course, an excellent option is the Fish 65 in Szechwan gravy - a creative and delicious combination of the deep-fried 65 preparation common to South India and the Chinese gravy. This is best enjoyed with rice, of which the Mixed Fried Rice containing ample chicken and mutton slices, eggs and prawn in a fine cocktail, is a highly recommended variety. The meal is appropriately concluded by some piping hot gulab jamuns in a sweet syrup. Unfortunately, the highly satisfying culinary delight is marred by some rather ordinary service. While the stewards ensure that they serve you everything on your plate, they often sound confused with your order and are tongue-tied most of the time. As a result, there can be unpleasant situations with respect to the total bill and the payment mode thereof. And so it is that at Maharaja, they give you food fit for a king, but they are clearly far from serving you like one.
