Reviews in Liverpool City Centre

The Maharaja seems to be one of Liverpool's best kept secrets. In one way, now I've discovered it, I'd like it to stay that way, so that it can maintain its wonderful standards and unhurried ambience. But on the other hand, I'm concerned that being a little off the beaten track it's missing out on many potential customers, and possibly may struggle to survive. The food is SO DIFFERENT - but oh SO GOOD. The first time we ate there, it was with four friends all of whom had been to Kerala and they all said it was so reminiscent of their times there. With the help of the ever so friendly staff, we chose a range of veggie and non-veggie (mainly fish) dishes and just shared them all. Everything was wonderful, but just to mention a few. The pre-meal nibbles and freshly prepared pickles (not a giant poppadom or dollop of gloopy mango chutney in sight). The Keralan fish. The squid massala. The fried aubergine, I could go on. We ate well, enjoyed a variety of flavours and textures. We also drank beer and wine and the bill still only came to about £18 each. Try the Maharaja for yourself, I guarantee you won't be disappointed - then tell your friends.

the food was the best ever words can not explain it just go and find out 4 your self

Great restaurant, food is excellent. Tried the Staff special which was one of the best Indian dishes I have ever tasted. Would definitely recommend this place.

This restaurant is amazing, the service was second to none. I would most definitely recommend this restaurant. The bar is also great although a little pricey. At weekends you will find a live band on although not too loud which is a welcome when dining out.

I have eaten here on a regular basis since it opened and have recently noticed that the usually high standards are slipping. Not sure why this is happening, but it is disappointing as it all started so promisingly. There is no doubting its popularity. Its location, ambience, food and prices all add up and have made it one of the culinary hotspots in the city centre. It is just a pity that some staff are not as helpful and efficient as they could be. Also, the management has recently introduced some bizarre policies. For example, you can no longer order an aperitif at the bar without having to pay for it there and then. Another irritation is on recent visits waiters consistently over filling wine glasses and then asking if we want another bottle.

I have been to the PTI quite a few times now and although the decor and ambience are okay the quality of the food is only average. The pickles that you get with poppadoms are very good but I have had Chicken Madras twice and both times it has been very watery and thin. On my last visit I had Chicken Sag Wala and this was pretty bland. The other people I was with all had different meals but you couldnt really tell becaues they were all the same consistency and taste. The rice is nice and they also do large bottles of cobra.

Extremely friendly, great atmosphere, delicious food (try the pork fillet with black pudding and pears AND then the white chocolate baked cheesecake - mmmm!) We'll be back!

Great food, you don't have to wait too long either. The ribs are fab!

Me and my partner went to this restaurant for our anniversary, and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The food was PIPING hot, and the service was great. The only down side was that we would have preferred a table by the wall, instead of in the middle because we felt a bit 'in the way'. Good place though!

Excellent food and service. Warm atmosphere and not rushed so you are able to enjoy the food!

food was fab, service excellent and atmosphere was great. highly recommend this restaurant.

HAVING BEEN TO THE INDIAN DELIGHT ON A WEEKLY BASIS I FEEL I MUST RE-ADDRESS THE BALANCE,I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND THE RESTAURANT TO BE EXCEPTIONAL IN EVERY WAY FROM THE POPADOMS TO THE KING PRAWN TIKKA GARLIC BE IT AT 6PM OR 2AM.A VERY PLEASEd AND SATISFIED CUSTOMER.

Absolutely fantastic food, cooked in authentic Kerala style - delicious and healthy. Well worth a visit.

Ok, so it was our wedding not just a meal out. But the food was excellent, both for the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet. The portions were more than enough and it was cooked to perfection. The evening buffet was amazing - lovely food, all piping hot and plenty of it. Would recommend it to anyone

Went in for lunch here after reading good reviews. What a pleasant surprise. I don't mind getting greasy curries because it usually means that the food is authentic so I was a bit worried about the food being cooked with water instead of ghee. The food was lovely though. A wide range of dishes that both managed to be delicately spiced and very light. Can? wait to go back!

The taste of real Indian food because I know I am an Indian. At last we found a restaurant in UK which claims to be Indian food but is not Pakistani or Bangladeshi.

What can I say the food here is the best that have ever tasted the Meat samosas and the Seek kebab are truly amazing. The staff are very down to earth and friendly although the place could do with a bit of a makeover as it is slightly dated. The portions are large and it is very cheap probably one of the best-priced restaurants that I have been to. Well worth a try you wont be disappointed

Fantastic and entertaining experience. Food is excellent as well as the service.
