The place was easy to find and the location was accurate. We were expecting a longer queue but got a table for 4 in about 15 mins. The service was average at best. Had to ask for a menu card multiple times. Also once we ordered the appetizers the steward rushed us to place our main course order saying that it will take time and your order might be delayed. The food took about 30min to come. And all appetizers didn't come at once. Barring these glitches, we move on to the food and taste: Appetizer 1. Crab lollipop: was delicious juicy and crispy. Beautiful presentation of the crab claw served with some mayo. (5/5) 2. Bombil rawa fry (not stuffed): slightly on the oily side but taste great. (4/5) (About 4-5 pcs) 3. Chicken chatpata: was ok, like a chicken pakoda/ chicken 65. (3.5/5) 4. Prawns rava fry: it was made in an interesting manner. Usually each pc is coated in masala and fried. But these were big chunky pakodas each containing mainy small prawns (like onion bhajji). Don't know whether it was intentional but it turned out very good. (4.5/5) 5. We ordered 3 surmai thalis. Each thali came with. a. Green chutney, Yellow chutney, kokum based chutney. b. Red humman (fish curry infused) but no actual pc of fish. c. A light aromatic tangy green curry(prawn teek) as it is referred. I'm allergic to prawns so the gladly replaced it with half a bangda which was also very fresh. d. Prawn flavoured chips were nice, they gladly replaced mine with fried papad. e. Sukhat: a dried shrimp condiment with pieces of brinjal in it which I found fascinating. Again I'm allergic but everyone else on the table seemed to like it. f. Sol Kadhi which really is the litmus test for a malwan joint was excellent well balanced and not skimping on the coconut milk. g. 1 gulab jamun (nothing outstanding) but enough for the feeling of ending the meal. f. Rice was nice well cooked. I'd recommend however to opt for Indryani Rice which would be awesome when paired with thin fish gravy g. We had to try the Kokum sharbat, which was also very nicely done, a pinch of chat masala to end the meal. My only area of improvement: The place was really stingy with the chutney, lachha onion, lime which is a staple with thali and was missing. Also stewards need a little more training to handle high volume business hours.

Craving a taste of the sea? Look no further than Hoy Maharaja in Aarey Colony, Goregaon East! This hidden gem is a paradise for seafood lovers, offering up fresh catches and delicious thalis that will tantalize your taste buds. My culinary adventure began with the showstopping Seafood Platter. This magnificent spread featured a quartet of oceanic delights: pomfret, surmai, rawas, and lobster. Each piece of seafood was cooked to perfection, retaining its delicate flavor and natural sweetness. The pomfret had a beautiful crisp skin and flaky flesh, while the surmai was melt-in-your-mouth tender. The rawas boasted a satisfyingly meaty texture, and the lobster was the star of the show - juicy, succulent, and bursting with freshness. If you're a fan of thalis, Hoy Maharaja won't disappoint. I opted for the crab thali, and it was an absolute feast! The star of the thali was of course, the crab curry. The rich, flavorful gravy was packed with the essence of crab, and the meat itself was perfectly cooked - flaky and simply divine. The thali also came with a selection of accompaniments like rice, solkadi, chutney and sweet item all of which complemented the crab curry beautifully. Hoy Maharaja is a hidden gem that deserves to be on every seafood lover's radar. The fresh ingredients, skilled preparation, and generous portions make for an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're indulging in the Seafood Platter or diving into a decadent thali, Hoy Maharaja will leave you wanting more.

To esteemed Sonali and the entire team at Hoy Maharaja Dhaba, Words cannot adequately express our profound appreciation for the unforgettable culinary experience we recently enjoyed at your establishment. Your dedication to crafting authentic Malvan-style seafood is truly remarkable, and each dish we savored was a testament to your passion and expertise. From the moment we stepped into your warm and inviting dhaba, we were enveloped in a symphony of aromas that tantalized our senses. The vibrant flavors of your signature Malvan dishes, meticulously prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, were a revelation. The delicate balance of spices, the perfect blend of heat and tang, and the sheer artistry in each presentation left us utterly speechless. We are particularly indebted to Sonali the owner and My sister in law's bestie for her unwavering commitment to excellence. The warm hospitality and genuine enthusiasm for her craft made our dining experience truly special. Chefs knowledge of Malvan cuisine and Sonali's sisters willingness to share her insights with us further enhanced our appreciation for this unique culinary tradition. Hoy Maharaja Dhaba is more than just a restaurant; it is a celebration of Malvan's rich culinary heritage. I was eternally grateful for the opportunity to have experienced your exceptional food and service. I will cherish the memories of this extraordinary dining experience for years to come. With heartfelt gratitude, Snehanshu

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!! Upon hearing rave reviews and watching some mouth-watering food reels, our anticipation soared as we ventured last Saturday to dine at this highly acclaimed establishment. First off, we were bummed when we found out that half the dishes on the menu weren't even available. We ordered 1 Pomfret Thali, 1 Prawn Thali, and 1 Kombdi Vade Thali. However, when we requested Ghavne/Neer dosa to accompany our meal, they informed us that their chef had already left, despite it only being 8 PM. Disappointed, we settled for the vade, but when we attempted to order extra vade about 30 minutes later, we were told they were now out of stock. Pomfret fry - The fish was disappointingly not fresh and seemed raw or undercooked. The prawn fry was passable, but not that great. Both Thalis came with a fish curry that had a distinctly pungent taste, which did not sit well with our palates. Surprisingly, the Kombdi Vade, despite being a side attraction in a supposed fish restaurant, turned out to be the highlight of our meal. It tasted decent and provided a welcome contrast to the lackluster seafood offerings. Overall, our dining experience was below average, courtesy of the subpar dishes and a disappointing lack of availability of menu items.

If you're a seafood lover, this place is an absolute must-visit! Located in the heart of Aarey Colony, the restaurant is surrounded by lush greenery, creating a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxing meal. The ambience is simply amazing, offering a beautiful blend of nature and comfort. As for the food, the Prawns Ricardo is by far the standout dish—absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. The Modak is another treat that shouldn’t be missed. If you're up for trying something a little more unique, the Stuffed Bombil and Crab Lollipop are both fantastic options. Each dish is prepared with attention to detail, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. Highly recommended for anyone craving top-notch seafood in a serene, green setting. Definitely a gem in Aarey Colony!

It was all thanks to an Instagram reel that I came across this place. When I got there, I got to know so were most of the people there. There was a wait of around 40 mins since it was a Sunday. They take a token as first come first serve basis for people who prefer indoor seating. There are also 4 tables available outdoors. The interiors were done beautifully inspite of the limited space. The menu is a dream come true for seafood lovers. But they have made sure to include even the non- seafood lovers with plenty of options in chicken, mutton & even vegetarian. The food was absolutely amazing & every bite was thoroughly enjoyed. For people who don't mind getting their hands dirty, definitely go for the crab butter garlic. The flavours of all dishes were fantastic. Would definitely recommend.
