Fabulous service. Everyone was super friendly. The food is delicious - pakora, butter chicken and nan were all scrumptious! I'll definitely be back.

I ordered Butter Chicken for delivery - it arrived quickly and was very tasty. I would definitely order from Maharam again.

Wow. My friend and I had the best experience here today. I feel like the staff treated us like family. They worked well together as a team to fill water glasses, bring out food, and clear the table. Our server, Raj, was outstanding. We appreciated the little stories he shared with us while he engaged in conversation. I wholeheartedly appreciate their vegan options that are clearly labeled. I was also pleasantly surprised that they offer lunch specials even on a Sunday. There were 2 vegan lunch special options, so I chose the first one: okra with yellow dal, basmati rice, and roti. My friend and I also split the appetizer, vegetable samosas, which are also vegan. Portion size and flavors were perfect. I forgot to take a pic before I ate the entrees, so my 2 pics are only part of the meal. The place was almost full on a Sunday early afternoon, so a lot of people must think this place is great! I also appreciated how friendly Nick, the manager, was during our visit. The only area I would improve is the decor... I didn't love it. Will definitely return for more delicious vegan food!

Fantastic food, good service. I ordered the Goan Fish Curry and the Goat Curry. Both were great! Garlic naan met my standard also. Good spice and flavor. Not too hot not bland. Enjoy

Delicious food and friendly service. Portion sizes of entrees are a little small for togo orders. Food was very authentic and made from scratch.

What a happy valentine's day lunch with great service (Milton) in Northbrook, nice ambiance, and generous samosas and lunch specials 1) tandoori chicken, lamb rogan gosh, butter chicken and 2) palak paneer, dal makhani, and generous naan and rice. Very tasty start with pappadams, asked about spice level tolerance, and served water with no ice, just like I prefer. Table next to me made recommendations for my next visit: gobi 65 and paneer tikka on a sizzling plate. Will return!

I wish I would have remembered to take a picture of the inside of the restaurant. The decor was elegant. The servers were awesome, very attentive. We were able to get a high chair for our little one. The food was excellent. My favorite was the tandoori chicken, it was very well seasoned. My second favorite was the butter chicken. We got there for the lunch, and were able to try a few lunch specials as a shareable for the table. The portions were awesome. I definitely recommended this place to a few of my friends so far. We will definitely be going back.

We discovered Maharaj Indian Grill in Northbrook when we tried to find a good carryout service during the pandemic. Since then, it has become our favorite carryout place every time when we crave for Indian food. The two dishes that we always order are Goat Curry and Chicken Curry. The Goat Curry is an absolute standout. The goat is expertly cooked, with tender, succulent meat that comes off the bone effortlessly. The curry itself is a symphony of bold and earthy spices, featuring notes of cumin, coriander, and cardamom, balanced with a subtle heat that warms the palate without overwhelming it. The sauce is thick and velvety, perfect for mixing with rice or sopping up with naan. The dish feels hearty and satisfying, ideal for anyone seeking an authentic and robust Indian curry. The Chicken Curry provides a slightly lighter, yet equally enticing option. The boneless chicken is tender and juicy, enveloped in a rich, aromatic tomato-based sauce. This curry has a smoother texture, with a blend of turmeric, ginger, and garlic that delivers a fragrant and flavorful experience. It strikes the right balance of creaminess and spice, appealing to a broad range of tastes, from those who enjoy milder curries to spice enthusiasts. Along with Goat Curry and Chicken Curry, we always order the Garlic Naan. It is soft, slightly charred on the edges, and infused with the perfect amount of garlic, making it the ideal partner for the curries. The naan has just the right chewiness and a buttery finish that complements the bold flavors of the dishes. Every time when we place the carry out order online, they would provide us with an order of rice on the House. The one time that they did not provide the rice on the House was when we placed the order by phone, and we had to pay for it. Not sure why there is a difference between phone order and online order. I suggest that Maharaj should provide customers with complimentary rice when we order the main dishes. The rice is a must when eating curry. Anyway, Maharaj provides a delightful carryout experience. The online ordering process is seamless. Usually, orders are prepared within 30 minutes, and they are packaged with care. For anyone seeking authentic Indian flavors and a hassle-free carryout service, Maharaj Indian Grill in Northbrook is a must-try. Their Goat Curry and Chicken Curry, paired with Garlic Naan and complimentary rice, are culinary delights that will leave you eagerly planning your next order. While I am rating the restaurant a 4-star, it could be upgraded to 5-star if Maharaj makes it a policy that every main dish comes with a complimentary order of rice, whether it is an online or phone order (and 2 dishes come with 2 orders of complimentary rice, and so on ......, which actually is a standard practice for many Chinese restaurants).

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the area. Great service, delicious food and all around pleasant and enjoyable dining experience. The naan is the best we've had in a long time.

Came here with a South Indian friend and it was great! Unfortunately, he is a vegetarian so we only ate vegetarian dishes, but they were still really good. Very flavorful! The chili naan was good, the eggplant dish we had was also good. Next time, I will come back here and try out their dishes with meat. I am a carnivore. The service was good, the dining area really nice. Will come back again! BATHROOM REVIEW: Located past the kitchen, the bathroom was in tip-top shape. Inside there was a urinal and hand dryer, which all worked great. Toilet seemed to be clean, and if not, a handy toilet brush sits right next to it, if you want to take matter in your own hands. Sit or squat? Sit!
