    Excellent. My wife and I have been going to the Maharaja on Farwell in Milwaukee for over 20 years. Last night's visit was as good as ever. I am vegetarian: plenty of options for me. Thank you. Julian Hills

    I have not been there in a while but the food was not as good and they never refilled the buffet. Service was also poor and it was very expensive

    Our first time trying this place and it didn't disappoint. The mango chicken was our favorite, so delicious. Definitely will be back to try the lunch buffet.

    This was our second year dining at the Thanksgiving brunch buffet. The food is delicious- every dish! There are holiday foods and dishes not often served on the regular daily buffets. The buffet is as beautiful to behold as it is to taste. We had a mimosa and chai tea - there were many drinks to choose from such as lasse. The service is always good but exceptional yesterday. We had a very nice holiday meal and will return at Christmas. They are serving Holiday Brunch on the 24th and 25th of Dec, they told me. Price was a bit high but the buffet was absolutely worth the money. We highly recommend the Maharaja Holiday Brunch buffet!
