Maharaja Bhog

I had read some recent negative reviews regarding service and food. We went on a Thursday night, it wasnt too busy. Food was superb and service was very good. The “uncle” seemed to also be in a very friendly and good mood :) all of us greatly enjoyed the food. Price is on the higher side but its worth the experience.

For years, I’ve been going to this restaurant for its tasty and savory Indian vegetarian thali with sit-down service, not buffet. A menu that changes daily with all-you-can-eat options. I have never tasted a dish that I didn’t like. It is truly delicious. The service is always great and served with a smile. There is no shortage of food and warm bread to eat. If you’re hungry, come to this place. I am a risk-taker and have tried the milk drink, but I am content without it in the future. This establishment is worth a visit. I do miss the bowl and beautiful metal pot that you use to wash your hands at the table before eating.

We had a 5hr layover in Houston and stepped out just to eat thali at Maharaja Bhog. We ate the maharaja bhog thali and it had 4 sabzis, two dals, kadhi, 2 sweets, 2 appetizers, salad, rotis, puris, dahi vada and chaas. I follow Jain diet and they had all the sabzis in Jain version as well. You don’t need to call them in advance informing about the Jain diet, they just have it by default everyday. They also have sabzis with swaminarayan version. As soon as you I told that i follow Jain diet, they placed a “Jain” label next to me on the table so that all the servers know not to serve non-Jain food to me. All servers are exceptionally sweet and patient. They behaved with just one goal - to feed customers nicely. The manager also came and checked couple of times if we were doing okay and needed anything. Lastly we ended with a paan which was not included in thali but was a good finish to the meal. Highly recommend this place! #jain #jainfriendly #vegetarianfriendly #swaminarayanfriendly

We went to Houston just to eat at this highly hyped restaurant serving vegetarian thali. And it did not disappoint. The place was busy. Ring weekend but we were seated immediately as soon as one table got free. The staff there work super efficiently and they have a process which work like well oiled machinery. Promptly, the thali was placed and the servers started filling in the platter. The service is fast and attentive. The food was fresh and delicious. You eat unlimited servings and pay for one platter. This place is good if someone wants to experience vegetarian thali. The ambience of this place is typical to thali restaurant. You can not sit leisurely here as the whole system works on getting people in fast and getting them out faster. That’s how they are able to serve so many people on crowded weekends without longer wait time. Place is clean and have ample parking. Even after eating the whole platter you don’t feel like bloated as the food and drink compliment each other to provide digestive balance. Loved my experience there and definitely would visit again

The quality of the food has declined, with dishes being either overly spicy or lacking flavor. It's not worth the price or the hype. The only enjoyable aspect is the unlimited thali serving, but the downside is that you can’t eat a lot.

During our visit to Houston, we went to this restaurant to have their wonderful Thali. The restaurant was super clean and pleasantly decorated We were very impressed by the welcoming staff. Most of the staff was not Indian but they could pronounce names of food items clearly. The service was very quick and efficient. The food was delicious and homely without too much spices and oil. There were about 25 items in Thali and all were very tasty. Because the food was not spicy and greasy, even after eating whole Thali you would not have feeling of overeating.

I told them I was gluten free, and they gave me a sign for the table! This is a place where you don't order food. They fill dishes and then if you want more, they come around and offer. The food is vegetarian and delicious. Kind and considerate staff, manager walked around and asked if we needed anything a few times. I think this place has been here a long time, so it feels kind of old.

Food quality has gone down tremendously. This was not my first time but definitely my last. Food was super spicy and choices were not appetizing at all. Servers working were rude and looked like they were forced to work there. Servers were acting like they were doing us a favor by giving us food. If someone is spending $30 per person, the least we can expect is decent food and decent service.
