Qype: Maharaja in Hamburg

Hamburg - Restaurants - Indian

Let me give you a bit of background here. I have been looking for a good Indian restaurant in Hamburg for about 6 months now. Germany seems to really be lacking quality Indian restaurants with good food, good service and decent prices. When i walked into Maharaja i was very excited indeed. No English reviews, but every German had given this place a glowing review. 5*s across the board. We were immediately served by a very friendly waiter and the Kingfishers arrived fairly quickly. My standard test of an Indian restaurant is Chicken Tikka Masala, rice and Garlic Naan and this is exactly what i ordered. The food came quickly and was BEAUTIFULLY presented. Unfortunately, it all really lacked the flavours i have grown used to in the UK. Portions were small (a particularly sorry look naan bread) and the curry really lacked any punch. Oh well, I guess my quest continues to find the ultimate indian in Hamburg. Maharaja wins on service, drinks, atmosphere but is let down by the food. Damn.
