The Maharaj in Carlisle

Got a takeaway, arrived late. Chicken very chewy and the sauce was very watery. Best thing was the poppadoms.

Best place to order in the Carlisle area ever

First takeaway from Maharaj and it did not disappoint. Chicken Aghani, lemon rice and a chapati. Absolutely delicious curry, nicely spiced & very flavoursome all served piping hot. Husband thoroughly enjoyed his too- Chicken Nepalese with a cheese keema nan. Gave us complementary poppadoms and pickle too. Very friendly and fast service. Highly recommended 👌

Delicious, fresh food, always a pleasure to eat food from this restaurant :)

comprehensive menu, most will find something they like, the order arrived quickly. What we like are the set menus that aren’t bad value. Food hot, What we weren’t sure of, was the curry sauces .. very very sweet, little flavour and meat overcooked, sad salad with popadom and dips.

Normally the food is amazing l, this time it had a sour taste to it. very disappointed.

Delicious food tastes fresh and really good quality xx

Never used this takeaway before, wanted a change from another establishment that hasn’t been great lately and based on the reviews we chose this place. New favourite for sure! Really nice food 😁

Food was amazing, not a person in the house that wasn't happy which is a miracle in this household. Piping hot when it was delivered and even gave us a complimentary naan. Delivered bang on time too. Will definitely order again.

our food was delivered quickly

Have to say don’t really order Indian takeaways as find them bland and all taste the same This however was excellent. Full of flavour, hot and value for money Would 100% order again

Great food , and pronto delivery

Terrible. 45 mins late for delivery so called and it hasn’t even left them. Asked for an incentive to use them again and got offered a free poppadom (after already ordering some). Won’t bother again

excellent service and excellent quality food 👌

25 min later call to restaurant and they just told me they are just packing my order and will gona be delivered in next 20 min. So still waiting. Not happy At all. Cant tell about food quality.

The food tasted great and was delivered very quickly but the portion sizes were on the small side. The plastic tubs were about half full and the naan was about half the size of what other restaurants give.

food was cold, onion bhaji greasy and not nice at all. Delivery people from just eat are miserable and seem like they don't want to be at work. some of them are very rude and cheeky if door not answered straight away

Nana wasn’t cook properly and Akbari dish NOT much tasty..!! Disappointment ☹️

food was nice but ordered a chicken madras and ended up with chicken pasanda

I am still waiting at 20:57!! No info so how do you explain this

This is my new favourite place! Delicious fresh food, the meat is lovely and tender. Gorgeous peshwari naan. Fantastic

Arrived bang on time hot and tasty as always

Lovely meal, fresh and tasty. The mushroom pilau was delicious 😊

Food delivered early and was hot and freshly cooked. Everything tasted delicious. Had a set meal for 1 which offers a good range of choice and excellent value for money. Could feed 2 people. Will def order from here again.

Ordered from here a few times. Always reliable. Lovely meal.

Lovely meal, good portions. We’ve ordered the set meal for 2 a few times and it’s always been good

The food is amazing, however delivery timings could be improved but saying that well worth the wait😃

I feel like it's going down hill , portion size was a lot smaller not enough sauce to go with rice

Perfect every time after numerous repeat orders.

Portion sizes a bit small for what is paid for it. However was delicious

Food was hardly a curry, was an extremely sweet and no spice at all, garlic naan ordered but given plain rubbery naan

Chicken tikka naan wraps are amazing, best thing we have had for ages

It was 10 minutes late (even though the ap will only let you say it’s 5 minutes late) and I didn’t get what I paid for. Very poor.

Tasty food and good value. Highly recommend.

Food was superb, portions huge. Will be back.

Top food and excellent variety of dishes on offer.

Excellent service. Delicious food. Great menu. Highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Order arrived late but the food was great and would order from here again.

We stayed in the countryside near Carlisle and fancied a takeaway. I phoned The Maharaj but as we were in the middle of the countryside my phone signal kept dropping out. I got a text then saying I could order through text , I did. The food arrived and was excellent quality and portion size. The person at the end of the text was very helpful and the delivery driver was friendly and polite. We will definitely use them again when we are back in the area .

Brilliant Food, really tasty and piping hot when arrived.

This was the first time I’ve placed an order and will not be the last.

Absolutely amazing. The best curry ever. The saag paneer was superb. Chicken shashlick so tasty.

Exceptional food and value as always.

Lots of food, very tasty! Probably could order less next time as the portions were so generous. A bit of a wait but came in the expected delivery time and food was hot. Will be back!

Really nice food and hot. Also delivered really quickly

Very tasty . Chicken was so tender . Naan bread fresh and tasty . Will order again

Food was full of flavour I can'tcomplainabout that but I am disappointed that I spent £42 pound and didn't get poppadoms:(

Very quick delivery meal was red hot and delicious now found a great indian takeaway

Asked for chicken shashlik. And they send me something that resembles chicken masala, without any taste.

Onion barjis lovely with fresh salad & tasty dips King prawns are so big ,fresh and juicy Dansak sauce delicious Madras nice & spicy Recommend garlic & cheese naan bread aswell. Poppadoms good size and so fresh with all the pickles… Will be ordering again very soon

Delicious. Tasty and just what was needed. Thanks

Lovely food, delivered well before the order confirmed it would be. Food was really hot too.

Food piping hot, huge portions, beautiful taste, I will most definitely use The Maharaj again. Delivery was very friendly and fast Well done 10/10

Onion bhaji overcooked, rest of food was ok

BEST food we have had from a take away for years, big chunks of beautifully cooked chicken the flavours of the other dishes were wonderful and exactly what you would hope for when paying for food as a treat. We will be ordering again for sure.

Ordered numerous times just for the tandoori chicken wrap and never disappointed! Always piping hot, on time (or early), great quality and always generous portion size. A top favourite for sure!

If only you could give more than 5 stars 🌟

Takeaway meal delivered quickly,everything still very hot. Food delicious onion barjis best I’ve ever had and king prawns wow wow wow….Never go anywhere where else as they never let us down. And now they do deserts even better the sundaes are amazing…. Lick it.😍

Been eating Indians for over 30yrs and this one takes some beating. Great portions great service, my go to takeaway at the moment. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Arrived just before the scheduled time. Tasty and filling. Good sized portions and we enjoyed it.

Absolutely disgusting! Worst Indian i have ever had! Masala was like water with ni taste at all! Chicken was dry over cooked and tasteless! Popidomes were yellow and the taste was like perfume! Absolutely waste of money

Working in the area and I will honestly say this is one of the best Indian curries I have experienced, I live in the north east (South Shields) have the best in our door step. I had garlic chicken and my husband had chicken madras with rice and chips, Very good quality meat and no oil to be hovering about. The most fresh door to door delivery and the best garlic and chilli nan I have ever tasted. Thankyou

10/10 for all their dishes I've tried so far!. For me though, the lamb Rogan Josh is the best I've ever had, the sauce is bang on and the lamb so tender and juicy. Absolutely amazing! Love it!

Ordered on Uber Eats, food was ready for us to collect. Good tikka massala, quite sweet but that's what you expect. We both ordered the meal for one but frankly there was so much food you could share it between two so I have to say it is excellent value for money.

Very accommodating and lovely food

Delicious hot food, delivered on time

Best Indian I’ve ever had won’t be going anywhere else from now on! 10/10 😍

Another fantastic meal delivered quickly, hot and clearly freshly cooked. The only takeaway that listens when I ask for no corriander. Thank you

Firstly, please note I dont live in the area just work and stay in hotels. The Maharaj, the food wasn't too bad, naan, madrs sauce, chicken biryani and chips, the chips were a let down as they were under cooked, abit longer and they would have been perfect, but not going to say avoid as i said the food wasn't too bad infact try it you may enjoy it. Too the driver, this is why i've given 3 stars, in hotels never leave the food in reception and then ring the customer to tell them you've left it there, you were about to do the same thing again when you were at the correct hotel, luckily i was stood outside and asked if you were from Maharaj, use ggogle maps or satnav, both hotels have different post codes, i know as i stayed at the one you delivered to first. Gripe over.

Fantastic I like a hot curry and that’s exactly what I got

Chicken was tough. Bahjis greasy and chips under done unfortunately

Really tasty curry. Lovely naan bread. Would definitely order again. Nice and hot

Very expensive for an average take away

First time trying this place and safe to say, I'm not disappointed everything was perfect, came nice and hot. Will definitely be back.

Best tasting food in Carlisle! #ShoutOutToZee for amazing portion sizes!

The lamb rogan josh was very good,arrived hot and on time.only down side is that it was fries and not chips.

It was delicious - thank you very much indeed. Throughly enjoyed by all - we will order again !

Madras was extremely hot! Always order chicken madras but this one is the hottest I’ve had by far which spoiled it for me. Chicken korma my partner had was spot on

If I ordered curry I am sure is going to be with rice not just only sauce. Meal is not worth £30.

Great food as always, thankyou 👍

I was not expecting to ring the restaurant takeaway, because it was not in time on app JustEat.

On more of the expensive side of however the portion good size but the price reflects how nice the food is i had chicken tikita biryani for the first time and i cant complain about it. Food was amazing worth the wait.

Very friendly and helpful, will definitely come again when visiting Carlisle.

Food was left outside in freezing cold temperatures, did not knock or ring the door bell and food is frozen

AVOID! Avoid! Avoid! Collected a meal on Saturday night, but I must admit it all went in bin, all I got was onion gravy with some chicken pieces dumped in, naan bread undercooked, stinky popodoms ( come on you should change your oil regularly) . All I can say is, it’s very overpriced and worthless, there are few good places out there which offer you better taste and good price.

We really enjoyed it. Spicy and delicious 😋

Tasty food as always all time favorite CTB. Every time a different curry amazing as always. Thanks Maharaj

Excellent quality food….would recommend 100%. Arrived con time and piping hot. Delicious

Food was bland but delivered within 20 minutes

Friendly driver. Great tasting food.

Good food. A bit pricey though.

Very rude lady working there but there food was supposed to be lamb madras it was stewed and tasteless peshwari bread the same really disappointing you’ll never see us again

This food is extra special. You will not be disappointed.

Good Saag Paneer, bland tarka dhal.

Shame not more meat in the curries.

I have just received a telephone call from the Manager (2 days after - which was fairly quick really) & he could not apologise enough, and it was an Honest Apology too explaining the full situation, as i said in my 1st post the food is normally brilliant & could not fault it again - this is why i was frustrated the 1st time - The FOOD is BRILLIANT — Thank you Mr Manager for the call & putting my mind at rest - I’ll happily order again now —-///——- Took 1.5 Hours to deliver on a Wednesday night - ordered at 6.30, still not delivered at 8pm - told it was on its was at 7.30 - then told at 8pm just sent it 5 minutes ago - sorry but i can’t accept lies - Food is normally Brilliant but i will never order again from here - this is an Honest Experience —-

Everything was lush. Thank you.

Very tasty food. Best Indian dishes. Love them very spicy..... Would recommend 100% order to collect and get in 10 minutes.

On holiday and ordered based on the reviews. A superb meal, many thanks
