Maru's Bhajia House - Brent

Delicious crispy deep fried potato bhajia's and tasty samosa chaat and aloo tikki. Best to eat in as it comes out nice and warm and tastes is better. Service is also quick and easy.

Avoid avoid avoid. Wish I read the reviews before we went and came to TripAdvisor to see if we were the only ones who had a bad experience- sadly not. I have been looking forward to going to this place but left so disappointed. Over priced for a small plate of bhajia which are not even that tasty. What's with the absolutely awful sauces! So bad and greedy and would not ever return. Shame on you.

Portions sizes have gone really down..Prices up!! Very poor quality food!! We have a group of 20 families and we have all stopped going to this now 3rd rate restaurant!!!

The OG and still the best! Marus is an institution and deservedly so! The potato Bhajias for which they are so famous are consistently excellent big slices, cut super thin, served piping hot, with tasty chutneys all washed down with an ice cold Thums Up heaven! Samosa chaat also deserves mention (even the kids enjoyed it). Staff are really lovely and restaurant is very clean pay them a visit!

Being a fan of “Maru’s Bhajiya House” its very hard to write this review but I had to after witnessing poor outcome from our visit. On the plus side; got a table straight away. Menu’s were handed out instantly. And the Bhajiya’s were nice. Thats all for the plus points. Now for the serious need for improvements: 1) while giving our order the waitress host got a phone call so she went away and then came back. Not really what you would expect in a restaurant. 2) we requested if the Chai (Tea) can be mild and not strong and could be with more milk. The reason why we specifically asked for this was because we have had tea there before and it really was not to our liking. So double checked if they can make as we requested and the waitress said yes and then when the tea arrived it was nothing like what we asked for and instead it was exactly the distasteful tea we had previously experienced. So again we didnt feel like we got what we asked for. If they couldnt make it as we asked then they should have said its not possible and we would have happily not ordered tea. 3) the menu is very short and lacks options and not very children friendly. 4) They could be more respectful towards customers with allergies. I overheard a conversation where the husband asked if they have anything his children and wife could have to drink to cater for their allergies and wanted to know which options were safe. Instead of providing options or seeing what they can do, the waitress clearly said in that case don’t have anything as we cannot make anything. When the husband questioned her further she said I don’t know but we have been told to tell customers not to order anything if have allergies. I understand allergies are important and so restaurants are cautious but there is a way of addressing the situation and appropriately handling queries is something that the staff can be trained on. There is a way of talking to the customers. 5) The atmosphere in the restaurant felt more quiet than Silent Meditation Room. It was such a dull light and felt right out of place. If it wasnt for my love for Bhajiya’s I would not step in there again. 6) Ordered Mogo and they asked if we wanted Masala Mogo or Plain mogo so we asked if we could order Masala Mogo but with masala on the side. Again the waitress said its fine so we ordered and then after a long wait we got plain mogo and when queried about masala on the side she brought us a bowl with red chilli powder. Also the tamarind chutney was brought about 15minutes before the Mogo Arrived. And the Tomato Chutney for Bhajiya was brought 35mins before the Bhajiya’s arrived. Overall Bhajiya is the only thing we enjoyed and the rest was really a definite No Go for future visits or atleast until they improve their menu, their taste of food and their service.
