Mauli — Restaurant in Franklin Township

You have never had Indian food like this ! You have never had Indian food this good ! You have never had Indian food as amazing as Mauli !

What a gem of a restaurant for Indian food lovers! Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. They have Maharashtrian entrees and also traditional North Indian and Indochinese offerings (and Vegetarian) to cater to different tastes. And OMG we loved having so many options on the menu to choose from!

We started with Dal Soup, with the perfect amount of cumin and fresh herbs. We followed with Vegetable Momos, perfectly done, and served with a wonderful chili chutney. We then had a delicious Curry Shrimp and one of the best Chicken Tikka Masala's we have ever had. We also ordered Garlic Naan, light with just the right amount of garlic. We added Malai Broccoli and we are so happy we did. It's char-grilled (Yes!) broccoli with cream and cheese delicately added for a creamy smoky taste. If you don't order ANYTHING else (Which is impossible!) order the Malai Broccoli!

The service was great--friendly, attentive and helpful with lots of smiles. They also have Mocktails (the pina colada was great!) which are fun! The restaurant has beautiful murals, comfortable chairs and a casual, laid back vibe, oh but the food . . . Five Star !!!

This is a destination restaurant. Not visible from Route 27, it is tucked in the back of the shopping center, on the corner of Veronica Avenue. OH SO...

I was a bit disappointed after all the hype I saw about Mauli on Instagram. We went on Friday night, October 31st, and while the place was crowded and lively, it seemed severely understaffed. There were only a few people trying to manage a full house, which made the service quite slow, they definitely need more staff on weekends. Since the wait time for a table was around 40 minutes (our mistake for not reserving earlier), we decided to order takeout instead. We ordered two plates of Malabar porotta, one Saoji mutton curry, and a Bombil fry. It took about 40 minutes for our order to be ready, that too after checking with them multiple times. Unfortunately, when we got home, we realized they’d only given us one plate of porotta and even that didn’t look or taste anything like Malabar porotta. It was more like a thin wheat crepe. It wasn’t worth returning there and waiting again for another plate of porotta. I thought maybe South Indian dishes weren’t their strength since they focus more on Maharashtrian cuisine, but even the Saoji mutton curry was disappointing. It tasted more like mutton cooked in a chole-style gravy average at best, and definitely not authentic Saoji. The Bombil fry was okay, but not worth the price. Overall, apart from the nice wall paintings and decor, there wasn’t much to be impressed by. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but based on this experience, the food didn’t live up...

This is a very unprofessional business. Let me start by narrating my entire experience today. I decided to check out the restaurant having seen a commercial on instagram. Firstly the website was down which made me think that this must be quite a Shabby run business given that they're paying for promotions and don't have an active website. In any case I decided to order from them through Uber Eats I placed the order at 4:00 in the afternoon. At 5:30 the driver says that the address for the restaurant on Uber Eats is incorrect I saw his location and realized he was in a residential area. I sent him the correct address from the website, but he would not be able to go to another address to pick up given Uber's policy. Four different drivers were assigned and they all canceled because the address was wrong. I then called the restaurant to ask them if their order was ready and I could pick it up myself that's when the manager says to me that he doesn't have my order because a couple of items were not ready. Why on Earth could then have not called me for the last 3 hours to let me know I cannot understand. The manager was very rude definitely untrained and highly unprofessional. This is a restaurant i, my friends, my family, anyone else I know will stay away from. Do not make the mistake of...
