Maharajah Restaurant, Newquay

I have eaten in the resteraunt and had takeaway from here, overall I was pleasantly surprised at the beautiful views and lovely food.

Went here in a largish (10) group last month, party because they advertise beautiful views of the coast, which unfortunately we didn’t get because they put us in a back room for larger parties. We did have a tv screen with live footage of the bay though!

Service was reasonable, although we did have to ask 3 times for pitchers of water to be brought to the table (other drinks we ordered were brought immediately).

Food wise I was not terribly impressed. The curries seemed bland, and probably produced from one main sauce with just a few extra spices added at the end.

Each curry was reasonably expensive at an average of £10 - a fair bit more expensive than London. Adding on side dishes, rice, nann, drinks etc I think the bill was about £30 each.

I have the feeling that this is the sort of place that caters for tourists rather than replying on repeat business from locals.
