    I've been to Maharaja several times now and the food is great, the place is quiet with a great view of Harvard Square, and the service is impeccable. I asked for a surprise desert to celebrate my partner's recent achievement and the staff went above and beyond to make the moment special. Definitely stop by anytime you're craving a delicious meal!
