Dropped in for lunch on a rainy weekend and absolutely demolished everything they put in front of us in record time. Flavours were on point, portions were generous enough for us to take a bit back home and fight over it later, staff were a tad curt but promptly handled requests and the ambience out on the rooftop was sublime. Definitely recommending it to anyone within shouting range. Pricey but yummy, try this one out with a bunch of friends. So that you can taste-test a wide variety of dishes with minimal guilt. Happy eating.
#ChickenGheeRoastFTW
Any ghee roast that you order from here will definitely not disappoint you ! It's one of a kind. For dining also, the staff is very friendly and will generally ask your preference if you seem confused what dish to order. Not many do that. Slightly overpriced but worth the money.
Amazing food! They acknowledged the request of making it less spicy since my grandma can’t eat spicy food. She said it was perfect.
My grandparents absolutely loved it so so much!
Grateful for the amazing experience ❤️

This place serves amazing non vegetarian food, it is a nice place for families and large groups.
Maharaja serves the quintessential Mangalorean Chicken Gheeroast. I've had gheeroast elsewhere, but they pale in comparison to Maharaja's. It's hands down, the best. My only issue is the pricing and the portion size so offered for their sky high prices. The food is lovely, agreed.
It would definitely not be fair on my part to judge a restaurant based on a dish that was served within hours of its opening for business for the day. In fact, it would be unfair to judge a restaurant by a single dish alone. However, I stand by my rating because in this case the one dish I am judging Maharaja Restaurant by is the one dish that it is most recommended for. And no eatery should serve a sub-par version of the dish that defines its identity.
This was my first time ordering from Maharaja. Had ordered Bangude Alle piyav because I miss eating this at my late paternal grandmother's home. Oh my God!! Such brilliant authentic taste and amazing fresh flavor! Amazing you guys. Maintain the taste and quality of such authentic recipes. I'll definitely try more in the days to come.
My favourite restaurant in Mangalore!! Its been years since I have been visiting Maharaja restaurant. The chicken biryani here is the most Yummiest I have ever had. Best seafood! Try prawns ghee roast, fish masala fry, neer dosa, chicken kundapuri. Definitely a must try place.
One of the best restaurants in Mangalore. Would highly Ghee roast and chicken uruval - Must try dishes. Recently tried crispy chicken too which was the best.
Great ghee roast. nice taste. Well worthy. You must try their honey chilly. Its great . that was recommended by one of my friend, overall *****
Visited Mangalore after many years and then ended up in this place on recommendation. Totally loved this place and every time I visit Mangalore I make sure to have lunch at Maharaja
Must have here - Crab ghee roast , chicken ghee roast, Masala Fry fish , Tava Fry fish.
They have a separate smoking and non smoking zone.
Service - 5/5
Ambiance - 4/5
Great one, Really liked the restaurant and the food. One must try the food here.
.kori rotti must try great taste. There is open place too
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Purpose of visit - First time visited this restaurant in 2011 and after that while visiting Mangalore after 8 long years, I made a point to visit it once again due to amazing experience last time.
Location - The restaurant is located near Jyoti talkies, probably 2 min walk from there.
Restaurant details - The restaurant earlier (2011) had bright lighting whereas now they changed it and made it dim lighting. The staff is as courteous as before, also the ambience seems to have changed a bit.
Order details -
1) Crab tandoori - This was something my mom wanted to try, but not to my surprise there was hardly any meat in it. This is due to the small size of the crab used. The claws were hard to break and they didn't even have the crab mallet I suppose that's what it's called. Wish they can improve on this experience. (3/5)
2) Alle- Piyao Fish curry - We opted for pomfret fish and Alle - Piyao means ' Ginger and Onion'. Damn! This was real tasty, even though I wish I had more but the stomach was full. Certainly the best thing on the plate that day. (5/5)
3) Fresh lime soda - Honestly nothing much to say here, apart from the taste was Refreshing enough.
Conclusion - The satisfaction of having authentic Mangalorian cuisine is achieved here and obviously it's a go to restaurant for me whenever I visit this town.

Good ambience and North indian restaurant in Mangalore...
However service is quite slow if it is crowded...
Manglorian cuisine is also available...
Overall a good restaurant....
Parking a car is an issue...
Brilliant food. The ambiance is a throwback to the 80s, zero watt bulbs and red/maroon everywhere. We had the crab ghee roast, which was outstanding, the dim lights made it a little difficult. The chicken thali was amazing and complete VFM. Kori roti was superb and quantity was good as well. Neer dosa and prawns phanaupkari was the last dish we ordered and was really delicious.
Warrants a trip very soon. The only bummer was a clamped car to receive us post the meal. There are no no parking signs , so be careful lest you will be the target of some over zealous mobile clamping traffic vans.
Chicken ghee roast and chicken tawa fry are great dishes. If you belong to North India, you could savour it with tava roti, would be a heavenly combo. Tried the chicken biryani as well but didn’t meet the expectations. The ambience is quite old school but resonates well with the localities, I guess.
Maharaja restaurant is known for serving typical South Indian delicacies. Tried Chicken urval a mangalorean delicacy, rich in taste. This dish from Maharaja has all the flavours needed to make u keep drooling over it 🤤🤤 n the chicken manchow soup was spot on 😋 a must visit place in mangalore ❤️
A place to visit either with family or friends.the ac room provides a good family atmosphere for a meal while the non ac balcony can be enjoyed with a group of friends.food here is pretty good and can be enjoyed with drinks of your choice.
Popular for authentic Mangalorian Cuisine. Serves the best of sea food delicacies.
Also chicken ghee roast and uruval are worth a try.

This place has one of the best ghee roast dishes in town.We ordered the prawn ghee roast and chicken ghee roast, & both did not fail to impress. If you want a true taste of one of the most popular dishes of Mangalore, this place should be on the top of your list!
The restaurant name itself makes you feel royal. For authentic mangalorean food this is the place you got to go to. Maintaining the old traditional recipes with perfect blend of spices, they offer food that makes your taste buds happy and soul satisfied. Must try dishes are Chicken Ghee Roast or Mushroom Ghee Roast with Neer Dosa.

3) I tried ghee roast here and it was yummy, even the shells were good
4) It's a family restaurant
5) It's a must visit in Mangalore with family and friends 😌😁
Best place to have sea food dishes in Mangalore. Restaurant serves variety of cuisines. This place has both Ac family and garden seating. Food is delicious and tasty.
Maharaja Restaurant is one of the must visit family restaurants in Mangalore. They offer Amazing coastal dishes. This place offers outdoor as well as AC section. Place gets pretty crowded during weekends..
Coming to the food, Squid Ghee roast is really good.. they offer lot of seafood specialities. Tried the Chicken Tawa Fry and Raja Special as well which was pretty average..
The rates are reasonable. Amazing vibes.
Anjal ghee roast and neer dosa is a good combination to have here. Ghee roast smells amazing and it isn't spicy.
Good quality food.
King fish tawa fry was the top dish among the sea food dishes here... Loved it... Good spot to booze with family as well as friends...
The food is great. Especially sea food. The serving sizes are large which needs to be considered while ordering. They do have fresh fish as expected in Mangalore and are of the most popular joints here. The seating is good and spacious. It's does get crowded during peak hours. Parking is available in the basement
This place is on a lot of must visit restaurants in Mangalore. Mangalore being the second largest city after Bangalore does offer a lot of good restaurants and eateries to try out. And yes,, this is one of them.
The place is situated right on the road in a complex building and can be easily spotted. The food is great. Not something out of the world but yeah better than what good food is. So yeah no complaints there. I ordered Kori Roti and Mint Lemon Juice. The Kori Roti was awesome. The ambiance is just like any other family restaurant but yeah with a bit of comfort. The only thing which I didn't like was the service initially. I was waiting for 15 mins until the waiter came and took my order. Although after that their service was also on point.
All in all a good place to go spend some time with your family and friends and enjoy some good food.
Famous for ghee-roasted dishes. Do try unique double or triple sundae ice cream. It’s made 8 to 12 scoops of different ice creams + dry fruits + fruits. Super yummy… each sundae serves 6 people
