How we read reviews →Maharaja-grand East Melbourne dining with a live sitar and punchy Punjabi curries.
Opulent maharaja-palace decor with a live sitar player, a cocktail bar buzz, and tables set close enough together that a full room gets genuinely loud.
Live sitar performance, a private function room for large groups, and an elaborate maharaja-themed interior reviewers call unmatched among Melbourne's Indian restaurants.
Reviewers repeatedly praise the food as authentic North Indian and Punjabi cooking, reinforced by the maharaja-era interior and live sitar.
Curries run around $30 and cocktails $24, near the top of Melbourne Indian dining. most reviewers say the food and spectacle justify it, though several flag extra charges like cakeage and jug water as steep.
