inconsistent pricing
The quality and variety of the lunch specials at Maharaja seem to have improved somewhat over the past couple years. Still, every quick-service Indian take-out place that I try, including Maharaja, seems to have inconsistent pricing. Does the lunch special price include rice And bread or is it rice Or bread? If the server, without being prompted, voluntarily gives me 25 percent more food than usual but tacks on a mysterious one dollar extra, should I feel grateful or cheated?

not crazy about it.
The food was sort of tasteless which says alot since indian food is very seasoned.

Yummy - to go
Very good, but dont eat there. Small dining room and very crowded. Get the saag paneer (spinach and cheese). It's my favorite dish from here. Also, their samosas are yummy too (make sure to ask for tamarind sauce though)

Ehhh...
Ordered in tonight -- got the dinner special ($12.95). had the papri chaat, paneer makhni and the dal makhni. The daal was quite tasteless, the paneer makhni did whet my pallete, but could've been a lot better. The papri chaat left everything to be desired. They forgot to include my dessert (which I didn't mind -- not a big fan of rice pudding anyway). The service was amazingly fast for an Indian restauarnt . Got my food in about 25 minutes! (which makes me wonder when exactly was it cooked?!) The people on the phone were nice, but wouldn't order from them again. All in all, a typical $12 dinner -- decent quantities, but mediocre food. We need a place like Tiffinwallah/Brick Lane/Tamarind in midtown!

Very Consistent Indian
Simple selection of food. Meat dishes stay the same, but veggie dishes are rotated daily. I highly recommend Maharaja for fast take out or a quick sit down lunch. Unfortunately they do not have much by way of spicy food, though all of their selections are very good and more importantly consistent. You absolutely get your money's worth. Polite service. I eat there 1-2 times per week.

Yum!
I have to say that before I went to Maharaja I had been terrified of touching Indian cuisine due to a bad experience I had at a restaurant in Boston. (can't remember the name sorry) But Maharaja has opened my eyes and stripped the memories from my tastes buds with its tasty food. The service is typically up to par, but they do suffer the consequences of a very popular buffet (which I recommend). Since I've been to Maharaja, to my dismay, the other Indian restaurants in NYC have paled in comparison.
