Maharaja of India, Charing Cross
Authentic Indian cuisine a minute from Leicester Square - open daily from noon until midnight.
Tucked between Trafalgar Square and Soho on the southern stretch of Charing Cross Road, our flagship restaurant has been serving the West End since 1960. The dining room sits a minute from Leicester Square tube and a short stroll from the National Gallery, the Coliseum, and a dozen West End theatres.
The kitchen here is led by a brigade with deep roots in regional Indian cooking - Punjabi tandoor, Mughal-style slow braises, and the quiet precision that defines the Maharaja standard. The pre-theatre menu (£25 for three courses) is the insider's choice before a curtain at the Coliseum or the Palace.
Charing Cross also runs Click & Collect and takeaway - order ahead, walk in, walk out. Full menu, same kitchen, served the way it should be.
Pre-Theatre Menu
