# Maharaja: Agent-Direct Score B (71.8%)

Site: http://www.maharajatandoori.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/maharajatandoori.com
Scanned: 2026-10-18 (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.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Maharaja's website. It can read what Maharaja offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Zenchef.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://bookings.zenchef.com/results?rid=387590&pid=1001&lang=en (through zenchef acting for the business)
- Menu: https://maharajatandoori.com/our-menu/

## What to fix first
- Prices: 116 prices on the site, the middle one €6.00
- Languages: English, French, Dutch

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **116 prices on the landing page, the middle one €6.00.** In Brussels, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is €14.90.

- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering only through justeat.** (+5 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking through zenchef on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Zenchef works with agents through its partners.** Zenchef's website terms (19 February 2024) forbid robots, scripts or automated systems that extract content and forbid crawling or scraping; agents book only through partner integrations a restaurant enables. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.zenchef.com/terms-conditions. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
