Heritage of the Cape

In 1979, the Maharajah was born on a simple idea: To offer a meal worthy of the name Maharajah, at a modest price, while serving traditional Indian flavors and using a range of authentic South African Indian cooking techniques.

44 Years later, and more meals than we can count, the Maharajah is still hosted by the same family, and serving meals true to its heritage. The place, over the decades, has vibrated to the rhythm of all those who fell in love with the rich decadent flavors. In doing so, the Maharajah has acquired more than a unique personality, it inherited a soul – the culinary jewel of the Cape, creating a harmonious reflection of Indian food at its finest.

This restaurant focuses on and celebrates the creative and masterful use of spices in Indian cuisine. It stays true to the authenticity and rich history of familiar dishes while adding playful and elevated elements. For example, the tandoori spicy chicken tikka are a fan favorite, oscillating between traditional and modern Indian cuisine. Each dish pushes the limits of flavor and spice combinations in the most innovative and delectable ways.

With years of experience in the restaurant industry, we specialize in corporate event catering, wedding catering and private party catering, we will gladly customize a menu to compliment your personal taste.

Relax and enjoy our unparalleled hospitality.

    An enjoyable evening. Monday night is always a bit quiet but ambience was good. Keegan who served us was exceptional. The food was very good without being amazing.
