Our Banquet Hall is available for Your Next Event. Maharaja Cuisine of India offers a variety of authentic Indian dishes including appetizers, curry prepared, Tandoor specialties, lunch and dinner specials as well as a complete take-out menu and desserts. Maharaja Cuisine of India proudly continues this honor and presents a unique selection of this very original Indian Cuisine in an authentic setting for a romantic and memorable dining experience. It is small wonder, then, that the food served in those rose- colored stone and inlaid-marble palaces, strewn with silks and tapestries, was exceedingly lavish. Hindu cooking, with its many dietary restrictions, seemed quite austere to courtiers accustomed to the cuisine of Persia and the eastern Mediterranean, so the court cooks added liberal amounts of cream, ghee (clarified butter), yogurt, spices, raisins, and nuts to local meat dishes, pullaos (rice dishes), and samosas (savory filled pastries). It took only two centuries and six rulers for the Moghul empire in India to run its course--from the prince Babur's capture of Delhi in 1526 to the death of the last true Moghul emperor, Aurangzeb, in 1707. But even this short dynasty was enough to make a strong mark on Indian culture and its cuisine. The Moghuls were Persian Muslim princes, descended from both Genghis Khan and Tamburlaine, and nothing they did was anything less than glorious. They built the lavish and ambitious palace fortresses, mosques, and tombs that have become emblematic of the country, the most famous example of which is the Taj Mahal, the tomb built by Shah Jahan to honor his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. At its height, the Moghul dynasty was known for its cultured tolerance, even enthusiatic support of and participation in, local customs, arts, food and religions.
