BRUMMIES who enjoy a curry will probably agree that the long-established Maharaja restaurant is one of the jewels in the city's culinary crown.
This unassuming restaurant in Hurst Street has an army of fans, some of them rich and famous.
Those who are regulars will not be surprised that people who have left Brum often crave its deftly spiced, carefully crafted dishes and have them transported to far-flung destinations.
Other restaurants may come and go, culinary styles may fall in and out of fashion, but the Maharaja remains a well-loved friend among those who know their spicy onions.
