Based on Castle Point’s bustling London Road, the Maharaja is an Indian restaurant full of heritage, offering unique and exotic dishes in a princely setting. The owner Siraj Ali has been making an impact in the Indian catering industry, with a career spanning 40 years. Siraj has experience of owning and operating many restaurants across the area but now he concentrates onhis one dream business – The Maharaja.

Maharaja is certainly full of atmosphere and recent renovations have created an opulent environment fit for a King and Queen. With a ‘million-colour’ dance-floor, a vast buffet bar, disabled facilities and the exclusive ‘Maharani Room’ private dining area, the Maharaja offers an even greater level of luxury.

The food at Maharaja must not be overshadowed by the glorious ambience. The menu is diverse and exotic, offering something for everyone. Unique and tasty options, free from artificial flavours, give a rich and spicy edge to the restaurant’s traditional offerings and the new, exclusive ‘Lean Menu’ means even those watching their waistline can enjoy the very best in Indian cuisine.

Offering a traditional and exotic evening out, Benfleet’s Maharaja is the place to come in Castle Point if you want a little more spice in your life.
