After watching Jodha Akbar now for the 100th time, I always wondered if there was any fragment of truth to the lunch platter scene & did really Kings dined like king Akbar (Hrithik Roshan wink). 

To experience this, I couldn't find a better place than Maharaja bhog because that is what its name exactly meant 'Dining like a king'.

Mahraja bhog is a pure vegetarian restaurant located in a semi-busy Al Karama street so the parking is a task to find. 

The ambience of the restaurant was welcoming with a decent interior & strictly followed covid protocols. 

The concept is very much similar to an unlimited Rajasthani thali that is been replenished as much as you can stomach but it's the ambience, the atmosphere, the attitude of the staff & the overall experience that makes you feel like a unisex king. Even I felt like a king.

Bear in mind that their menu is dynamic and changes almost constantly.  

What was served?

• Condiments: Chutney/salad/pickles, Churi papad, & masala papad
• Drinks: Kesar chandan sharbat, masala chaas, mango mint lassi & smoked chaas
• Live chaat station: Pani puri, Papdi chaat & Dahi puri
• Rice: Steam rice, moon dal khichi & masala pulao
• Appetizers: Bhujiya cheese rolls & paneer bhurji ring dhokla
• Indian Breads: Fulka roti, Jawari roti & Kaddu palak Thepla.
• Dal & Kadhi: Rajasthani kadhi & dal, Gujrati kadhi & dal.
• Main course: Mutter paneer, Turiya tomato kathiyawadi, dum aloo & bikaneri papad methi shag.
• Dessert: Apple halwa, Dates nuts kheer & malai kulfi.
• Hot Beverages: Masala Tea.

If I had to express everything in one word - *Phenomenal*

It is quite hard to write a review on every dish I tasted, cause it will become an exceptionally long review.

However, I absolutely loved the Dessert specifically Dates nuts kheer, malai kulfi, mango mint lassi & everything in the live chaat station. Although Condiments, Rice, Dal & Kadhi were palatable. 

Appetizers, Indian Breads & the main course specifically mutter paneer was just absolutely delicious.

All I can say is that the concept of Mahraja Bhog was true to its core, and everything that encompasses from their serving style to their actual food complimented it really well. 

                                  

The serving staff did not miss a chance to make any of their guests feel any less of a king. 

The price to quantity ratio is also very good because it was an unlimited thali with a variety of dishes for a specific price. 

There was just so much to eat that even your taste buds could get confused at the end of your meal. 

Mahraja Bhog literally has everything to taste which means regardless of what you prefer to eat there will be one thing that you would love the most & one thing you dislike & would return home tasting one thing that you never have tasted before.

Time to pop the question: Would I recommend this restaurant to my fellow foodies?

Yes, 100% I would.
