Site: http://www.maharajanorthwood.co.uk/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/maharajanorthwood.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Maharaja is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Maharaja's website. What Maharaja offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly, through ChefOnline.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.chefonline.co.uk/maharaja-northwood-harrow-ha6/menu (through chefonline acting for the business)
- Phone: 01923823688
- Address: 24 Green Lane, Northwood, HA6 2QB, London

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Maharaja that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Waters Edge (2.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/stonehouserestaurants.co.uk
- Arens Bar Restaurant (2.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/arens.uk
- The Woodman Pinner (2.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/thewoodmanpinner.com

## What to fix first
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to chefonline.co.uk, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
