The first thing that strikes you when you step into Maharaja Kent Cuisine of India is how opulent the place is. Gilded furniture, ornately printed wallpaper, and crystal chandeliers extend as far as the eye can see. But the second thing that strikes you is the aroma—the rich, smoky fragrances of Indian spices and tandoori-grilled meats fill the air. These mouthwatering smells waft out of the center of the dining room, where an open kitchen allows guests to watch the restaurant's chefs work their magic.

The flavors of the cuisine here are just as bold as the decor and smells that surround it. Warm pieces of naan are delivered to sop up every last drop of saag paneer and lentil dal, and slow-cooked pieces of chicken or lamb get a kick from complex sauces such as tomato gravy scented with cardamom or spicy vindaloo.
