He emphasized that “at Maharaja Palace quality service and hospitality is everything,”
Chattergoon reaffirmed that Maharaja Palace offers a long list of cuisine that cannot be matched, locally.
“We offer the best in Thai dishes, not Chinese,” he stressed adding that the menu is made up of more than 400 dishes from destinations such as Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and India.

The kitchen is staffed with the finest international chefs recommended by highly professional restaurant critics.
“Once a guest makes a request, we are happy to prepare it,” he added.
The restaurant is open daily from 11:00 – 11:00 hours.
