Maharajah India Cuisine - Colton

Been coming here for 30 years. Best Indian food anywhere.

#FOODPOISON#ALERT# We went to this restaurant first day and ordered vegetarian thali and some non veg curries and naans, felt they were ok, non veg was not good though! The next day we went again for lunch since it is near to our hotel, and ordered chicken biryani, it’s not even biryani or anything, they just gave some chicken gravy and on top of that added some meshy lemon white fried rice, that’s not even basmati rice and which is full of lemon flavor and it’s like lemon white rice, we couldn’t eat that, it was not eatable. And to my bad we also ordered chicken tikka masala they added beef in it, you can check in the photo, beside chicken there is beef as well, and when we asked they said it’s lamb! Please never try non veg dishes here. The meat also tasted like rotten. You could try vegetarian thali, it was ok. I will not recommend this though! On top of this we ate here just before we are traveling back to Sacramento from San Diego, and I got my stomach upset and I have to stop several times for restrooms, lot of inconvenience with loose motions, it’s all because of that spoiled meat there. My daughter also got infected after coming home, she had loose motions too. Please never go to this restaurant, they are not hygienic, using full red color in chicken, using rotten meat. My total journey from San Diego to to Folsom was very much troublesome because of eating food here. The service also very slow and they are not caring about us. Please don’t go there to eat fresh food.

People wish they’d be able to run a business and be as successful as this restaurant is, this is a family owned resturaunt and they’ve been in the industry for a very long time, it’s rare to see a business doing this well after so much time, so props to them, their food is amazing and always has been, you people who speak negatively on them are extremely unhappy, i recommend you take your business elsewhere if all your going to do is complain, especially to the people who are extremely rude and entitled, this restaurant isn’t going to sell food the same EXACT way you had it in india and have the same exact dishes and recipes as other places because they’re original and not everything is gonna be the way you want, be realistic, their food is authentic and delicious, if all you people are going to do is complain and try to bring this business down, save them the trouble and yourself the embarrassment and cook at home, best indian restaurant!!

We had been here before but the last trip is likely to the last. We were a group of 7 and some of wanted rava dosa which usually takes extra preparation time. So we wanted to give them a heads up. He said flatly that he does not take bookings but he would see when we arrived. When we arrived he said the same thing all over again about having to wait etc and we said we were ok to wait. Io started thinking perhaps we did not want us there. Anyways, we also ordered tandoori chicken and it was a very sad looking plate of dry chicken pieces. A big disappointment. Then they decided to charge us 20% gratuity plus 3% for using credit card. We have never had such a poor experience on our previous visits in terms of food and quality or customer service.. The food here is generally ok but there are many better restaurants in inland empire now and I have had much better customer experience. I guess none of us will visit after this. Sadly disappointed.

Takes forever for food to come. Total time waste if visited during afternoon.
