Maharaj is a good place for affordable Indian food. They have a great variety that really makes one appreciate how much can be done without meat. That coupled with the fact that they serve reasonably big portions for very low prices makes this a very nice spot.
But If you hope to sit down here then look for somewhere else. The restaurant is small ad cramped. It's best to order here and take your food somewhere comfortable.
Bonus tip to UCT students, they take emergency vouchers here.

one of these days we're going to morph into one person. she'll be medium height and chai coloured in complexion and big-breasted. we've already named her.
but for now we're talking in Ari Sitas voice about squirrels and Steve Jobs. we're understanding mercury on full moon nights and seeing our favourite comedians at The Baxter. R80 was excellent value-for-money for a pre-show dinner of hearty paneer and dahl, and the option of endless plates of it. the meal was as filling as your company, as our gushing about the places we'd like to go: Iran and Sri Lanka and the edge of the world.
i had this fantasy a couple of years ago of what my ideal self would be like. i hoped that she'd have the courage, quietly in the middle of night, to leave for a trip to Japan for a month or so. no one would have known of her plans. they'd only see a Facebook update a couple of days later of her before a Kyoto temple, or against the backdrop of Mount Fuji.
the fantasy remains. but now she'd like to have people to send postcards to; someone like you. and i know you may leave this city, but for now you are an atlas worth of discoveries and experiences to me, as we explore the alleyways of your friendship in foreign tongues. for now you'd be my favourite person to morph into.
Eating dinner at the Majarajah before a show at the Baxter is a great experience. One can't judge them on atmosphere; there's nothing they can do about that. But they make great food, and offer a really reasonable deal for self-service starters, mains and optional dessert. I'm not a big fan of soya mince, and sometimes some of their dishes are made with it, but other than that, I've enjoyed everything I've had there.
