Maharaj Indian Grill Restaurant & Banquet — among the best indian in Franklin Park. Rooted in technique and tradition throughout. Friendly team that sets the tone, and handles groups well.

Really good food, we got 2 of the chef specials for 2 and it was more than enough food, gives you a little of everything and the flavors were on point. Nice decor, the waiters were super nice. All around great experience.

“Seriously, one of the best Indian food places I’ve been to near the area.”
Seriously, one of the best Indian food places I’ve been to near the area. The food is amazing, but the hospitality is even better . Mohan was our server and he was so great and hospitable and kind. Would definitely recommend for special occasions or if you’re just craving good Indian food. We’ll definitely be back again.

“I had discovered the Maharaj Grill in downtown Chicago and ate there twice.”
I had discovered the Maharaj Grill in downtown Chicago and ate there twice. The food was some of the best Indian food I had eaten. Then I saw that there was one not too far away. So we had dinner here tonight. This place delivered the same awesome dishes as the one in Chicago. We had garlic naan, tandoori chicken, and lamb biryani. All were amazing. Our waiter was Kennedy, and he was so kind. His service was perfect. I noticed how patient and helpful he was with another table that had a lot of questions. Thanks for the excellent service, Kennedy!

After recently experiencing wonderful food and service at the Elmhurst location, we decided to treat our daughter by visiting the Franklin location before she returned to the East Coast. The three of us chose the lunch special and an appetizer. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and our server, Mohan, was attentive and kind. Highly recommended.

“I absolutely loved their kebabs.”
I absolutely loved their kebabs! The butter chicken and mutton curry were exceptional, especially paired with the butter naan. The tandoori chicken and mutton seekh kebab truly stood out as the stars of the meal. I finished with their delightful Rasmalai, and the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming.

“We ordered Paneer, Baigan Bharta, bullet naan, garlic naan, gobhi manchurian here.”
We ordered Paneer, Baigan Bharta, bullet naan, garlic naan, gobhi manchurian here! Loved the bharta, it was extremely flavourful. The bullet naan is for all of you, who like spicy 🌶️! I wasn’t a fan of the Gobi Manchurian but it’s not bad. The Paneer was okay as well! The ambience and the decoration of this place will make you feel like you are in India ! Overall a good place to try!

“We had an amazing experience at Maharaja Restaurant.”
We had an amazing experience at Maharaja Restaurant! We ordered the Goat Curry, Paneer Kadhai, and the Mixed Snack Platter — and every single dish was absolutely mouth-watering. The goat curry was rich and flavorful, the paneer perfectly spiced, and the appetizers fresh and delicious. A special mention to Mohan and Kanady — their service was outstanding! Friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Great food and even better hospitality. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic and tasty Indian food!

We recently celebrated my son's first birthday at Maharaj Grill Restaurant and Banquet Hall, and they truly delivered an amazing job! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and memorable. The food was simply amazing - all our guests raved about it. A special and heartfelt thank you goes to AG, the manager. He is genuinely brilliant; his ability to understand exactly what we needed and efficiently manage the entire crowd was incredibly impressive. He's so quick on his feet! AG's professionalism and attention to detail made a significant difference. I highly recommend Maharaj Grill for any event, especially if you're looking for a venue that excels in both food and service. I'm more than happy to speak with anyone who wants to hear more about the excellent job they did!
