Maharaja
Indian restaurant · Sliema, Malta
Tucked away on The Strand in Sliema, Maharaja has earned its reputation as a go-to spot for authentic Indian cuisine in Malta. With a Google rating of 4.2 from over 900 reviews, it’s clear diners return for more than just a meal. The restaurant’s charm lies in its unpretentious setting and attentive service, where every dish feels like a labour of love.
As Juan Fernandez put it, "The place is simple and doesn't say anything but the food is great. I tried the best momos out of Nepal, they are really like in Nepal and loved them. That alone makes me want to be back."
The menu offers a range of options to suit every palate, from hearty mains like beef madraz to lighter bites such as poppadoms rice crackers, all priced between €5 and £15 per head. Vegetarians are well catered for, and the restaurant’s thoughtful touches—such as nut-free meal options—ensure everyone feels welcome. Whether dining indoors or al fresco, Maharaja delivers a warm and satisfying experience.
