Tripadvisor Reviews: Charing Cross Naan
A recent Tripadvisor review sums it up beautifully:
“We were in Leicester Square for the day and wanted to dine in a nice Indian. We looked all around in the area and that was the best one. Also it was very good value for money especially in central London. But when we went there we couldn’t stop eating there freshly baked naan. But overall the food was scrumptious.”
At Maharaja, the team genuinely takes pride in creating a memorable dining experience - whether you’re a regular or first-timer. As a result, it’s the kind of place people happily recommend to friends and return to time and again.
