We love Indian food and went there after reading reviews on Trip Advisor and noting that they had wheelchair access (not easy to find in Newquay). We were not disappointed with the quality of the food. We were very impressed with the view and suggest that If you want a guaranteed window seat then you should book ahead - we... More

We were recommended this place by the owners of the B&B and it was very good. The food was delicious, although if you want any kind of heat make sure you mention that or it will devoid of any hot spices (although still very tasty). It was annoying that we were brought a tray of chutneys that we didn't ask... More

Exceeded all expectations, starting with being in seated in the window of the conservatory, the view is stunning, & seating spacious, no sense of being crammed in. Excellent friendly & (genuine!) service, we felt very comfortable. Eaten in many Indian restaurants, but this was by far the best in Cornwall, food was plentiful, & lived up to all its promises...

Good food, friendly and fast service. Even coming without a reservation at a busy time we had to wait only a few minutes in the comfortable lounge until we got a nice table for 3.

This has got to be one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been too. Service was excellent, with attention to detail, excellent menu,relaxing and friendly staff. The food arrived at our table hot and delicious. Full marks for presentation. Dramatic sea views.

Super food but be prepared for a very long wait. This place gets VERY BUSY.. If you want to eat in AT OR CLOSE TO peak season you better pre-book, and if having a take-away take a good book for the long wait (IT'S worth IT!)

The Maharaja must be one of the best, if not the best (we haven't tried them all yet so can't be categorical!) Indian restaurants in Cornwall. The food is excellent, especially the variety and subtlety of spicing, the service is first class, and the welcome second to none. Book early and request a window table - the views of the... More

Thanks to trip advisor, we found this restaurant to be a delightful experience and very good value. We arrived early and secured a lovely table overlooking the beach. The food was first-class and we were treated like real Maharajahs. If you like good, authentic Indian cooking, look no further in Newquay.
