Reviews for Urban Maharajas in Vaughan, ON
This used to be one of my absolute favourite Indian restaurants but the most recent visit here was absolutely terrible! The... quality of the food has gone downhill and the prices are not justified. All the recent positive reviews are mind boggling andyou have to wonder if these are fake. We ordered the ?Nacho?s chaat? and ?fried paneer balls? to start. We asked the serverwhat the ?nacho chaat? was because the description on the menu was ?crispy wafers? and we didn?t want to be served nacho chips.The server informed us it was a paapdi chaat. Lo and behold what we were served was nacho chips topped withyogurt/chutney/spices. This was the first disappointment - note that this cost $8! The fried paneer balls were fine but also abit disappointing. While you could taste the paneer, it was mashed up with other ingredients, coated and fried. The paneermakhani was fine, but portion sizes have significantly decreased and prices have gone up. A small serving cost $17! The naanwas absolutely terrible - small, thin and crispy and lacking in taste. The service was about the same as it has always been -slightly awkward servers and not very friendly and welcoming; which has never been a bother in the past because the food was soamazing and worth coming back for. Left here extremely disappointed and will not be returning! Edit: since my negative review,there have been 11 other 5 star reviews within 1 day! No other restaurant in the area has anywhere near 1000 reviews and it?s alittle odd how many reviews mention the name of the server when the servers never introduce themselves nor do they wear nametags. I would question the authenticity of the numerous 5 star reviews. Read more
Very good ambience and service! Loved the hospitality and the taste of the food! We ordered butter chicken and mutton rogan josh... and mutton was good! Tandoori chicken was also good. Their desserts, Gulab Jamun and mango rasmalai were very good. However justa suggestion to the team that organic reviews are always better than bribed ones. Also I am sure that a 5 star review is worthmuch more than a price of a rasmalai :) Read more
Super pricy for an Indian restaurant. I understand they want to charge premium but this was atrocious- we ordered for a starter... platter and they charged 45$ for like 12 pieces of meat (chicken 3 types and 4pcs of prawns) tooo costly. The platter was cold ?definitely not worth the 45$. Butter chicken was more like sugar chicken.. the only thing I liked there was their naan! Garlicnaan especially .. mutton gravy was okish. The ambiance and customer service was good though ! But not worth my money soDefinitely not coming back or suggesting this restaurant to anyone. Read more
Visited Urban Maharaja on Saturday 21May 2022 around 60pm , the ambiance is good, There were many tables empty as we entered,... later filled up slowly. It has party hall with entry from left side of the building. I opted for Samosa n bhel puri n masalatea. Ms son n daughter in-law opted for alu parota, chicken items. Samosa was good ,not deep fried it was Air fried, served withcabbage strings n tomato ketchup. Bhel puri was too much sour, they had put lot of tamarind juice in it . couldn't eat it . ithad nothing in it n they don't know how to make bhel puri. It had spoiled ground nuts, may very old , onion pieces n littlechill in it. I asked for sweet chutney the attendant said they don't have sweet chutney or mint chutney, it was impossible toeat, a whole lot of tamarind was in it , The service is very slow only two girls were there to attend all the tables after sometime when she was visible I asked for some sugar.. I put more than two spoons of sugar to be able to eat it .I advice people notto order for bhel puri. Tea was OK.. They didn't serve anything with aluparota , she just placed it on the table n disappeared.After sometimes another attendant was seen we asked for some curds n pickles to be served with she got it.. Service is veryslow, not at all satisfied . Don't get fooled by the name Urban Maharaja.. There's no smile or interest in attending girls face,one girl who is at the desk also serves food ,she looked very pale n tired not interested to welcome you nor served happily.Very disappointing experience. Beware, don't go by 4 stars I don't know who n why gave it???????????? Read more
I wish i could have given 0 * the food was pathetic and worst. I would recommend if you dont wanna waste your money better dont... go there. I have tried so many Indian restaurants in past 5 years and this was the worst. The only good thing was ambiencenothing else. The food quality, serving and the behaviour of the servers was so rude no one even bothered to ask how was thefood? And when we still went and told them about our feedback they were like we are least concerned and have not given any kindof discount. This is the first time we have left the food and did not pack it as well. They should upgrade their food qualityand service also. Worst worst worst!!! When asked for some concession they said we will give in your next visit like seriously?Do you guys even think we will come back again in your restaurant? Never and will suggest my family and friends also to not goover there unless u wanna waste your money. Note: no use of owner response because they just response here in reviews but whenyou email them they are least bothered to even reply back or call to learn about the issue that shows how hypocrite the owner isalso.

The service was good however I feel all the positive reviews are fake as the food tasted really bad. The Kadai paneer was sweet... the dal makhani was bland and the harlyali chicken seemed old and tasteless. Do not recommend this place at all. The prices areridiculous for what they serve. Read more
The food was pretty good, the paneer makhni was the best, Chloe was okay it lacked the Resturant flavour though I was hoping for... more flavours. Overall great place. Losing a point because they have a event area on the top floor but it doesn?t have a door sothe party upstairs was so loud and ruined the whole ambiance. It was our first time but I wouldn?t recommend coming when thereis a party it?s not at all enjoyable with so much noise Read more
Service staff: 4.5 stars Appetizers & Drinks: 4.5 stars Entrees: 2.5 stars The ratings is based on the items that we ordered. We... were a group of 4 adults & 3 kids on a Sunday around 9 pm. They were out of some of the items. Appetizers were really nice andwill be definitely be back to have them. However not so much when it comes to the entrée items. May be they have other itemsthat are better made but the ones we ordered was not good. Check out the pics uploaded to know what items we ordered. Read more
