? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Maharaja is home to a wide variety of Indian dishes. Their appetizers and mains have been regular comfort foods after a long shift or for curry Tuesdays at the office.

Samosas are hot and crunchy. We decided to go for the vegetable samosas and the chicken papadam rolls, both of which were great choices. The samosas were generously filled and the rolls deserved bonus points for crunch-factor. ASMR enthusiasts will be thrilled.

Yes, their butter chicken was a solid choice. Maharaja did this staple full justice. The tender chicken swimming in creamy red sauce will be the highlight of your meal. Don’t forget to order some biryani rice to go with it. We recommend going for the plain option to avoid a flood of flavor in your mouth.

Plenty of vegetarian choices. We ordered their daal makhani with a side of naan (which we will come to in a moment). The lentil in the buttery sauce was aromatic and a joy to the palate, it easily joined the clean plate club. We also tried the baingan bartha, a roasted aubergine dish that went well with naan and the plain biryani.

Don’t skip the naan. We think nan might just be one of the greatest side items in Indian cuisine. We tried them all, butter, garlic and plain and couldn’t decide which one was our favorite.

They deliver. You can order Maharaja through their website or Talabat. But if you’d like to live the full experience you could head to one of their many branches scattered around Cairo and Alexandria. You might even get complimentary coconut ice cream in an actual coconut like we did at the Sheikh Zayed branch.
