Maharadscha - Schweinfurt

Good selection of vegan starters, mains and bread. The food came quickly and was delicious.

Got invited by a colleague and I was a bit surprised how many vegan labeled options they’ve had. Of course I ordered Okra (Bhindi) and I have to admit that it has been one of the best I‘ve had in a long time. The surroundings and the restaurant itself are not very inviting an a short walk from the center. But the owners have been super friendly and welcoming. Better make a reservation, we were lucky to get the last free table on the evening.

I love Indian food, but do not get to eat it very often anymore. Maharadscha is a small, unpretentious restaurant with an extensive menu that serves very good food. Three of us ate there this evening. My two guests were not especially keen on Indian food, but each found dishes to their liking and were not overwhelmed by the spices. For breads we tried the Garlic Nan, which I loved and, the Pappadams, which the ladies relished. That was followed by my carrot and Ginger soup that was nice. For main courses the ladies had a Thadoori Chicken Masala and a Mango Chicken while I had the Chicken Chili Masala. All looked pretty similar in their serving dishes, but the flavors were clearly different. The Chicken Chili Masala was marked as extremely hot, but this is Germany. I would call it simply spicey. We were all pleased with our meals and will return to the Maharadscha when in the mood for good Indian food, What I missed was Indian beer which goes better with the cuisine. I also miss the candied cumin seeds on the way out. That is such a nice way to top off an Indian meal.

We stumbled upon this restaurant, 1 vegetarian and 3 meat eaters,and it was perfect. From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed and were attended too immediately, and the restaurant was nearly full. After speaking with the server/ daughter we realized it was family owned and run. This was obvious in the care and attention you don't receive at larger chains. The food was delicious. I live in London which has its fair share of Indian restaurants, and I definitely eat my share of Indian food, and this was absolutely delicious. For all four of us! I have eaten at Vera Swamey in Piccadilly Circus which claims to be the best and lest in London - and it was delicious but certainly not better,and definitely not a good value. I loved the visit and the food and would have returned had we found the restaurant sooner tan our last night there. I ate chicken tikka, by the way, and a red lentil soup. My partner ate a vegetarian paneer based dish...I forget the name. We loved it all.The service was exceptional too!

Discovered this place via TripAdvisor - an excellent find. Quite unassuming but with a very fine understanding of subtle spicing that's so characteristic of really good Indian cooking.Had the squash soup for starters which was intensely yet finely flavoured. The chicken tikka main course was great, too, except for the vegs which were a bit overcooked and bland. (One of the rare faults of standard Indian cuisine.)Big and welcome surprise: they actually feature pork vindaloo, i.e. the original version of this originally Indo-Portuguese dish! Never had it in any Indian restaurant outside of Goa. Asked for "very hot" which is what I got - extremely tasty and well made.So top marks for a restaurant that's immediately become a member of my personal Top 10 in the Indian food field!
