First off, for anyone reading this review, I am a Maharashtrian and this IS NOT authentic Maharashtrian food (or 'Mumbai street food' like many other reviewers expected). The pav is nothing like it's supposed to be (then again that issue exists for most of Delhi) and the bhaji/sabzi, the preparation, the ingredients are a far cry from the real deal. At this point, if you wanted authentic Maharashtrian food, you can stop reading this review and hunt elsewhere.
Next, even for basics like service and cleanliness, most tables there would fall short and abysmally so. The people who take the order and serve it, often forget about it. Folks may come and just pick up anything that's stacked there (there goes your food!) and no one bothers to check. The service was the worst among all stalls at Dilli Haat.
Lastly, the prices were horribly wrong. Nothing justifies what they charge for food that's otherwise really basic (or lower). The vada pav, misal and dabeli, probably their fastest moving food items, are all bad and yet are charged pretty high. Nothing wrong with paying as much for food at Dilli Haat in general, but you might as well eat better...

I am a Maharashtrian food lover. I always crave for a place that serves a good Vada pav or misal pav. I specially visited this place hoping to get a taste of Maharashtrian food, but I was so disappointed that I will not recommend this place to anybody.
It is located within Delhi haat and probably that's why it is exorbitantly priced. For example A plate of Vada Pav costs Rs.110. assuming that there are 2 in one plate.
Now the taste is not Maharashtrian at all. I ordered Misal Pav. The only thing they got right was the Pav. The misal was served with gathiya Sev in it and was basically aloo sabji. I also ordered Dhapate which was nothing but 3 small aloo rotis served with aloo sabji again instead of Sev or moong usal.
All in all a total...
