Book NowAbout Maharaja's on Carmen
Tucked into a quiet strip mall, this dining room pairs rich curries packed with generous cuts of meat alongside puffed tandoor breads. Seasoned diners appreciate that gravies skip the thin filler—slow-cooked goat and butter chicken arrive stacked with tender cuts rather than soupy broth. Order the blue cheese naan to slice through rich plates, alongside smoky chicken tikka pulled directly from the tandoor. House-made mango kulfi finishes things on an understated, cooling note.
- Meat-Forward Curries: Bowls come packed with tender lamb, goat, and chicken rather than excess gravy filler.
- Specialty Naans: Puffed flatbreads include unexpected twists like blue cheese alongside standard garlic and butter.
- Foil-Wrapped Takeaway: Delivery orders arrive tightly sealed with individual foil covers to ensure leak-free transit.

Why Dine at Maharaja's on Carmen
Experience authentic North Indian flavours, innovative tandoor breads, and attentive hospitality in Carlingford.
Hearty, Meat-Rich Curries
Curries are cooked with generous amounts of tender chicken, beef, and goat rather than being padded out with excess sauce.
Both our dishes (chicken and beef) had lots of tender meat and the flavours were delicious.
ian wallace Innovative Specialty Naans
Chefs craft distinctive specialty tandoor flatbreads such as blue cheese naan, served fluffy and filled with pungent cheese.
The Blue Cheese Naan ($8) is a unique update that feels a bit like late night kitchen fun with an Indian chef.
Jackie McMillan Well-Paced Multi-Course Banquets
Dine-in banquets feature a thoughtful progression of rich entrées, mains, fresh breads, and desserts without filler dishes.
Everything was well-paced and clearly thought through. No filler dishes, and the flavours actually had depth — not toned down.

Before you head over
Practical ordering, delivery, and dining guidance for your visit
Treat Specialty Naans as Entrées
Order distinctive breads like the Blue Cheese Naan or samosas as starters rather than curry sides, as rich fillings paired with mango chutney serve best as standalone courses.
Take Advantage of Foil-Sealed Delivery
When ordering takeaway or delivery, dishes arrive hot in containers reinforced with individual foil wrapping designed to prevent curry leaks during transit.
