About the restaurant
It's perfect for
a proper Indian feast in a setting unlike any other restaurant in Christchurch
You need to try
try the Butter Tikka Masala, chef Vijay Biala's own creation and a perfect blend of two classics
Look out for
the trains rolling past, one of the most unique dining backdrops in the South Island
Set inside the beautifully restored Papanui train station, where trains still roll past the windows, Maharaja is one of Christchurch's most atmospheric places to enjoy Indian food. The menu is a well-crafted tour of the subcontinent, from lamb chop nawabi and seekh kebab from the tandoor, to rich mains like kadai gosht, rogan josh and the house signature Butter Tikka Masala, a Christchurch original created by chef Vijay Biala himself.
