Royal Maharaja Indian Kitchen

My husband chanced upon this restaurant while looking through Uber eats options. The menu looked exciting especially the Bamboo biryani so we decided to dine in instead. Heads up that this is located where Paradise was and they still have to update it with a permanent sign.

Let me just start by saying that the RTP area has a lot of Indian restaurants but I miss a good balance between taste, flavors, and healthy food. This restaurant really surprised us and exceeded our expectations.
We ordered hara bhara kebab, kadhai paneer, tandoori roti, paneer bamboo biryani, and chikoo kulfi. We loved everything. The hara kebab is perfect if you like a low on oil, melt in the mouth appetizer with flavors on point. My usually pet peeve about curries in Indian restaurants is the cream they add to curries. The kadhai paneer was tasty with well balanced spices and no cream. Tandoori roti was soft and fresh. Rumali roti is the best I have had in US; compliments to the chef for this! Highlight was the bamboo biryani that was served in a hot bamboo. Each bite of biryani was moist and the spices came through without being overpowering. I loved that the dished were not greasy. If you miss the authentic chikoo kulfi from India you need to try this place now because I am definitely going back for more of this dessert.

We also did a take out for non vegeterian dishes including chicken angara, special maharaja chicken curry, vijayawada chicken boneless biryani. Chicken was fresh and juicy something that is a miss in. lot of Indian restaurants. The smoked flavor in the appetizer was amazing. Biryani was again one of the best I have best I have tasted in this area.

The ambience is same as old Paradise restaurant and could use an upgrade in the long run. This place could easily be an upscale restaurant with all the good food. I really hope more people try it as we felt that not many people know about it; we definitely didn't know about it until last week and it opened in December.

P.S. The staff is very polite. And this is not a paid review!

I love to explore different food types, this newly opened Indian restaurant surely give a tougher competition to rest of Restaurant’s in this triangle area. Price and food quality is perfect, most importantly the usage of oil and spices to the lowest with No comprised to taste. No more stomach upset, enjoy my food. Staff courteous and helpful.

Excellent service, tasty food. Must try the bamboo biryani, its awesome. Staff is very friendly.
Vegetarian dish we ordered was completely bland even we asked to make it spicy.

Must try new restaurant in the area. Food is amazing. We ordered Haleem and bamboo got fry biryani. Both the dishes are delicious.
