Review Mao The Family Restaurant - Mumbai

Known for KEPSA. Must is Hyderabadi chicken Kepsa They have Thai food option too. Decent food. Good service. Grt place for Family Dine.

Good ambience and all staff are also very humble and friendly.interior of the hotel was premium.We ordered chicken tandoori kabab & kepasa rice it was very delicious.

It's a great restaurant for Non - Vegetarian,like the ambience,food was good ,So a good non vegetarian restaurant in Azad Nagar (Andheri)

Overall, it is a good restaurant, the place has a nice ambiance, not the best in it but not too shabby too. The food was good in taste, quantity for the price point. Our waiter was a little rude, but I think that's a problem with that particular person because others were fine.

The courteous staff make the service smooth and the price is value for money. The food is good, and the restaurant's menu is diverse and rich in flavor. This is a great place to go for a quick meal.

I just have 2 problems. 1. The quantity of half chicken platter was way to less, 2. Need more options for Soft drink. Well the ambiance is super great. Very convenient to travel via metro. I found they took a bit of time to prepare our order. Talking about taste for starter it was good. Again quantity issue. And than comes this hungama kepsa (half) god the quantity for this a lot. Taste wise a good try. It’s a good visit.

I ordered chicken tikka masala ,hara bara kebab, chicken seekh biryani and chicken crispy red. All the dishes were fabulous n tasty. Highly recommend this place.

Excellent place!! One of the Best place to had Non-veg cuisine. Ambience is well designed, staffs were very polite. Has many tables, so that there's no waiting for tables. Location is awesome, its very much near by metro station. It is a Family place. Kepsa biryani is popular dish. I'll suggest you to have Chicken Tikka Kepsa, Chicken Tandoori. Portion of food is really good. It's very hygienic and inexpensive place. According to me average cost of per person will be 300 or maximum 400. And food presentation was good. Taste of food is genuinely very awesome. So it's highly recommended place....

Mao Is famous for its special dish Kepsa...here you will get a variety of Kepsa Veg and Non Veg...even Mao Andheri West Shop provides good service and delicious Food...Even hygiene is also maintained....

Nice set-up. Good Indian food. Shawarma too was good. Chinese needs some upgrading. Five star rating for Indian Food. The Chinese food was okay. The taste & spices were good only the quality of rice wasn't up to the mark.

Delicious food overall. Chicken kepsa biryaani is a must try!!! The quantity was a lotttt. <br/><br/>In frame - <br/>Chicken platter

IT SEEMS THERE WAS SAND OR SOMETHING IN MY FOOD. Even the rice I ordered for lunch had the same issue. Please look into this and don’t play with customers health. Why was it sandy?

Bad bad bad food quality... second time I have experienced this... once I ordered chinese and it came sweet in taste and today order egg bhurji and was made in dirty oil... the smell was only very disappointing and the taste was just as bad... both times had to throw away the food... very disappointing... it felt as if they have used multiply used for frying oil and sent...

I visited moa thr family restaurant with my friends. I had great experience here <br/><br/>They serves you good quality food with good quantity. <br/><br/>

It was as it looked which was mouth fulfilling. Fruits were just like extra toppings in the pizza. It was so tasty... Proper balance of fruits with ice cream.. proper sugary taste.. mind refreshing..i will definitely suggest this dessert- cum- ice cream to everybody dining in .

Horrible food

Worst.. no flavour of tikka masala no flavour in rice do not order surely .

I have order a Paneer Hyderabadi Kepsa.. They not propely package the food.. They also didn't the follow the cooking instruction given to them. The delivery guy did not keep food properly in his scooty.. And he didn't maintain contactless delivery and he was chewing a gutka all of this saliva was spitting out.

Very delicious food with great quantity

Place is near to azad nagar metro station. Its a family restaurant. Must say food is very yummy.

Amazing place for family dinner <br/>

Chicken kepsa is always my 1st choice.nice food always

So before the lockdown and it's almost like I have been trying stuffs from here since like last 2 years and these are the things definitely would recommend having <br/>So for the unversed Mao is a restaurant that serves Iranian n mughlai non veg as well as veg delicacies and God i loved whatever I tried there I have never visited this place but my uncle use to other this when ever we went there and I totally am a fan of this place<br/><br/>What I have tried chicken tikka kepsa and chicken kepsa , chicken lachha biryani , butter chicken , tandoori chicken<br/>How was it: Amazing<br/>Chicken tikka kepsa : this is purely heaven 😍 , tandoori chicken in a aromatic rice and it has eggs and chicken tikka in it was interesting is it tastes nothing like biryani<br/><br/>Chicken laccha biryani: it's a creamy aromatic rice with malai chicken kebabs it's creamy and light not at all spicy the moderate spice is perfect for times when you want to eat chicken biryani but want to have something light it's nothing similar to biryani except for the fun and layers<br/><br/>Butter chicken : it was the best butter chicken I ever had it too buttery and it tasted amazing<br/><br/>Tandoori : it was just perfect and the chicken pieces just melt away in your mouth<br/><br/>Would definitely recommend this place to everyone

Whenever I hear the word KEPSA the 1st thing that comes to my mind is MAO THE FAMILY RESTAURANT, as it has got a variety of kepsas to choose from, which is very rare in a city like Mumbai.<br/>Planning for a reunion with your friends? or a get together with your relatives? Then this is just the place you are looking for. 1 full size kepsa is enough to fill 4-5 stomachs and I'm not even exaggerating.<br/>Don't have a big group but you still want to have it?<br/>No problem, Mao The Family Restaurant serves half kepsa too.<br/>To neutralize the spicy taste of masala it is served with salad and boiled eggs.<br/>It goes well with coke or fresh lime sode.<br/>That's not it. Remember to save some space for dessert.<br/>After a heavy meal like kepsa you need something that's very smooth and light to eat yet very tasty. Caramel custard is just the right thing, as it satisfies the above conditions.<br/><br/>

•Ambient :- Beautiful ambient and larger space for bigger group like 8/10 can comfortably seat.<br/><br/>•My Order :<br/>•1)- Handi :- Indian main course dish and one of my favourite for lunch and it's was totally awesome ["Must Try"]<br/>•2)- Butter Roti :- Fresh roti with soft edges around the corner with cheese .<br/>•3)- sechewan chatni - Red sechewan chattini which I like along with the main course ["Must Try"].<br/><br/>•Ambient - 8/10.<br/>•Service - 7/10.<br/>•Food Quantity- 8/10.<br/>•Food Taste - 8.5/10.<br/>•Food Quality - 9/10.<br/>•Overall Experience - 8.5/10.

Ordered Mutton Chilli Kepsa Rice. I received mutton manchurian with gravy and fried rice on top. <br/><br/>Better I wouldn’t have ordered the rice if I wanted to eat Indian Chinese. <br/><br/>Check the photos out.

Tasty n fresh food... served hot ...I liked it....😋😋😋must visit with family and friends....

Very poor service and the soup we ordered out of seven bowls there was hair in three of them and splinter in one of it .Then again the starters we ordered had hair in it. Overall very pathetic dining experience.

ordered 5 items to start with.<br/><br/>chicken crispy red- rating 3/5<br/>the taste was good but they added pathetic crispy noodles on top of it unnecessarily which made it taste ordinary. <br/><br/>chicken 65- rating 4/5<br/>loved it. unique taste. and would love to order it once again from their restaurant. <br/><br/>chicken triple rice- rating 4/5<br/>one more tasty dish from mao. the quantity was good as well as it's taste. chicken pieces were properly cooked. <br/><br/>chicken biryani- 4/5<br/>was very good. as expected it tasted like a proper chicken biryani. liked it. <br/><br/>chicken tikka biryani- rating 5/5<br/>our favorite item in this list. everyone loved it. everything from chicken pieces to tikka masala was perfectly blended in this biryani recipe. we are definitely ordering this again and again in future. <br/><br/>overall rating- 4/5<br/>moderate rates. top taste. what can you expect more? just go for it. MAO is one of the best restaurants in andheri vile parle area. definitely one of my favourites.

Ordered at home my family also love it<br/>5/5

Good ambience ,food is good

I will rate this restuarant 4 stars.<br/>I have personally ordered Boneless chicken tikka and chicken crispy.<br/>The chicken for soft and fresh.<br/>The gravy was of good quality with soft pieces of boneless chickens.<br/>The quantity of was also quite good.<br/>Overall loved it.

The food at the restaurant is good, but when I ordered food at home it was of the absolute worst quality & quantity as well.

Got an egg friedrice ordered and honestly, I felt like they forgot to add eggs in it. Tasted all blant.<br/>Way to go

Decent place to have dinner with family they serve good food ...and also not extremely costly everything here is jus amazing

The place is located exactly at Azad nagar metro. Quite convinient for the people travelling via metro. I had chicken shawarma from this place and I was in heaven. The quality and the quality both are incredible. Also this place is budget friendly and not much expensive.

Decent place to have a dinner with your friends and family, they serve delicious food, i have tried their fried rice it was good in taste,the butter chicken was lil bit less spicy, they can work on it.<br/>Quantity is sufficient for a person.

The restaurant is very spacious and a great place for families. The seating is comfortable. They have both Indian and Chinese food on their menu. The food is delicious and the quantity is good. The place is budget friendly as well but they didnt have card payment option when I visited and they informed us only after we had ordered.

Mao is a family restaurant situated near Azad Nagar Metro Station opposite Andheri sports complex. The Indo Chinese food is average. Indian dishes are the best choice in the menu..Would recommend to try the kepsa and the non veg starters. It's amazing and good in taste.

The service was not up to the mark. Took lots of time to get the order. The quality of food was good . The variety is pretty good. The stars reduced are just because of the service

Staters taste was yummy

All Kepsa are the best!! However, TBH mutton dishes aren't that great or disappointing.<br/>Compliments ti the chef for awesome Kepsa though.

Mao is located in Azad Nagar Andheri West, thi is an best for an family to dine in. If you're visiting here then must try it's kepsa rice. The service were fast too with the friendly staffs.

Ordered chicken tikka mini kepsa. The taste was amazing it had 2 chicken tikka pieces and 1 boiled egg as per the price the quantity was very good. A good value for money do try it out!

The best resto for the buddies to hangout .<br/>We had ordered the tandoori and hara bhara kebab as a starter which tastes awsome than comes the soup which was at its best And than the kepsa rice which was at the top . We all love the taste .<br/>Highly recommended .

Best moughlai foood ever in the city specially if you and bunch of your friends are looking for a treaty food with a rice full of happiness then Kepsa rice plate at MAO is a jem for you

Good ambience !!

A great place to go and visit and the chiken kapsa served is just extravagantly delicious and it's fingerlicking good #umusttryit #foodporn

From check in to check out, the staff is fantastic. At check in they gave us great information on local restaurants and things happening at the resort for the week. The in house restaurant staff is very accommodating and nice. A breath of fresh air to most places we have been. The outside pool service is great for food and drinks. We used this almost everyday for lunch. The beach at this resort is fantastic as well. At low tide you can see all sorts of things from starfish, crabs, shells, sand dollars, etc. We even found three horseshoe crabs in the tide pools at low tide. We will definitely vacation here again.

I ordered chicken tikka mini kepsa. Chicken was juicy & tender. Very filling food. Superb for the price🤘🏻

Mao family Restaurant<br/>Mao restaurant in azad nagar i visited there with some of my friends and the food and ambience was nice we had kepsa and i specially visited this place for kepsa as one of my friend said they serve very tasty kepsa and no doubt it was very nice ❤️

We called for a chicken biryani in the afternoon today on the 1st of January and because it was kepsa, the quantity was humungous and we had/meant to eat it for dinner as well at around 9. So lunch was around 3.30...<br/>When we sat down to eat the rice at dinner, we realised that the biryani had gone bad and smelled and tasted rotten. We called the restaurant at least 20 times to make a complaint, but no one bothered to answer.<br/>Please take care and precaution when you order kepsa or any other dish from Mao!

Mao is complete fine dine restaurant, which serves some amazing cuisine at a very affordable rate, not to worry about the service as it is very prompt.

Yesterday i visited this place with my friend.I would recommend dis food for indian cuisine.The restaurant has variety of food both in veg and non veg.Paneer tikka and naan was sumptuous and filling.The crispy for the starters was hot and proper spicy.There were varieties of ice creams I had butterscotch it was creamy and mouth watering. ❤❤❤

My most fav is kepsa,as i had chicken kepsa,chicken schewan kepsa ,best place for briyani ,we had orderd online also for kepsa which comes very delicous and in proper way ,i also had chicken shweram which is also lit❤️

It's more like a family restaurant but also attracts a decent student & young crowd.<br/>Kabsa rice is most famous of this place.<br/>Place is decent with comfortable seatings.<br/>The food we tried was quite good.<br/>Chicken lollipop were crispy enough too

Mao restaurant just below azad nagar metro station which has amazing non veg and veg dishes also Chinese.. the kepsa here is really amazing and the service is also good. Also there is sufficient place and good experience

Ordered for a mini chicken tikka kepsa and mini chicken tikka platter.<br/>Was completely satisfied with both the dishes and the quantity was also just perfect for 2. Great food without hurting your pocket.

Mao is a casual dinning outlet has made its presence felt in Azad Nagar. Tucked beside Azad Nagar Metro Station, this outlet is well known for its Chinese cuisines. <br/>Had tried over here Paneer Crispy, Schezwan Noodles.<br/>Paneer Crispy- Paneer was marinated to perfection spiced up with Schezwan sauce and topped with fried crispy noodles. <br/>Schezwan Noodles- A perfect Indo-Chinese cuisine for Mains. An amalgamation of boiled noodles tossed in a variety of sauces and veggies. <br/><br/>Taste: 4.5/5<br/>Ambience: 3/5<br/>Staff: 4/5<br/>Service: 3.5/5<br/>Hygiene: 4/5<br/>Value for Money: 4/5<br/><br/>Ambience may not be pleasing. Overall it was a good experience visiting Mao- The Family Restaurant.

Call attenders speak rudely and not doing anything to customer. They have only send the food in thier quantity only. Dont reduce something that customer doesnot want. Worst dealing with customers. Bad interaction..

Ordered Chicken mini Kepsa from Mao for Dinner in office...the taste is very good and delicious...need some improvement in quantity otherwise rest everything is good.

This place is located near Bhavans College and just under the Azad Nagar Metro Station making it a very convenient location. I regularly visit this place after college. There is indoor as well as outdoor seating and the restaurant is very spacious. <br/>I have tried kepsas, shwarma, butter chicken and butter naan here. Among these dishes, kepsas are the best. I always get the Irani Chicken, Seekh Chicken or the Chicken Tikka whenever I visit this place.<br/>Overall, the prices here are reasonable and it is a great hangout place to eat good food and relax with friends.

Mao family restuarant is azad nagar literary a stone away from azad nagar metro station gate no 4. Set up of the resto is huge and comfortable devided into two sections . Ac and non ac . Over here you can try there shawarma or chicken or mutton kepsa.i love gadbad ice cream , water melon juice, chicken crispy , brownie with vanilla ice cream .ordered tandoori chicken and biryani. Food quality was good and reasonably priced <br/>Washroom is not very clean though<br/>And waiters over there always have this mischievous smile on their face which makes you feel very uncomfortable

Mao restaurant is our personal favourite specially for Kepsa's, They serve the best kepsa Biryani's in the town. we visited this andheri's outlet and ordered chicken chilly milly kebab and Chicken tikka kepsa, the kebabs were great in taste perfecty cooked and spicy, bt were not so happy with the kepsa, it didn't taste so good, the way it does at kalbadevi outlet, the ambience is good, staff is good, would recommend to try at kalbadevi outlet for Mao for the best experience with kepsa's.

Great taste! I often visit here. Nice ambience and the speciality here is kepsa, a must try dish!

Amazing food

Must haves : Baida Roti & Chicken Baida Roti, <br/>Regular at this place & also the management is very friendly.Ambience is also very comfortable.

Mutton seekh and pahade kabab was stale not fresh on complain got my 3rd order fresh achari kabab and fresh chutni, the difference was seen on thek sport, then achari kabab was fresh but very hard, sitafal milk shake and manchow soup was good but for rest of stale food, had to pay Rs 1500 bill which i felt was hole in the pocket.deifinately i dont recommend it to take our family for treat n give bad experience on festival season as they dont take care of such issues.

The butter chicken was perfectly sweet with a hint of spice.it had the perfect creaminess and not too overwhelming. The naan is crispy and hot. A must try

The staff was really helpful and understanding they helped us out with the dish we ordered and replaced it with a nice chicken Tikka masala .. I was in love with Tikka masala

Was around this restaurant was very hungry ordered tandori and pita bread with mayonnaise dip was nice

As per our Security Personal he also told us NO one Came and Rang the Bell than also this Restaurant people asked us that our Delivery Boy had been there and Rang the Bell and you didn't Open your Door, didn't pick up your phone so we Cancel your Order and we will NOT going to pay your Refund amounts too.

So before giving Order to Zomato and Mao Restaurant please Be Cautious with this types of Tricks.<br/>Very Much Dissatisfied, Shocked, Frustreted with this types of Service too....

Excessive garlic in almost all food items. In case you need garlic for home, you can order from here, instead of going to the market.

A restaurant located just below Azad Nagar Metro Station and is very close to Bhavans College.<br/>Ambience: It is very spacious and has indoor as well as outdoor seating. Indoor seating has AC while outside, there are just fans. Sometimes you can find flies there.<br/>Food: I have always tried Kepsa's here and they come in very good quantity making it shareable between 4 people. Gravy in it is something you should crave for.<br/>Sometimes our food is oily and stale. We had to return it and new food was made for us.<br/>Price: Prices are reasonable here but I find Milkshakes and deserts a bit expensive.

Ambience- 4/5<br/>Cleanliness- 5/5<br/>Food- 5/5<br/>I had come with a group and we all enjoyed it. Everybody loved the food. Will surely visit again👍☺️

We came here on a rainy night place was hustle and one of my friends recommended me chicken biryani and it’s awesome mouthwatering seriously and the quantity is also good but service is very very slow we have ordered only one dish and it takes an 1 hours to get out of restaurants but now it’s gain popularity in the area and now mao became a brand and food taste is also average so must visit everything is good and hygienic ambiance is also beautiful ❤️❤️<br/> Concluding <br/>Service 10/2<br/>Ambiance 10/9<br/>Food taste 10/11<br/>

chicken  kepsa is very good order it online and quality was good, but when i ordered the second tim eit was not good chicken smelled very bad

Please note-<br/>This review is written on basis of personal experience.<br/><br/>This happened a week or two after the unfortunate Sri-Lankan tragedy.<br/><br/>Visited "Mao-The Family Restaurant" to celebrate our evening. But, little did we know our happy mood wouldn't be for long.<br/><br/>While dining, a couple exited the restaurant but with their bag(s) left behind.<br/><br/>Initially, 'twas a casual belief that someone must've joined the table. But as time passed and the bag laid there unattended, we realised it belonged to the couple who were nowhere to be seen.<br/><br/>Considering otherwise, we alerted the staff.<br/><br/>The staff had a very casual approach and told us to care less and not panic, stating that they have gone to the metro ATM to withdraw cash and similar events happen often.<br/><br/>We asked -<br/>1) Why is the staff careless and let both (the couple) go?<br/>2) Why allow leaving their bag behind. Albeit, one of them could have stayed back.<br/>3) What if they wouldn't return?<br/>4) What if there was something left behind with a wrong intention, would someone tell you before going?<br/>5) Aren't you aware of the recent news and happenings?<br/>6) Who would be responsible, if something unimaginable and horrible were to happen because of your carelessness, negligence, unprofessionalism and gullibility?<br/><br/>But, such was their attitude deep to the core.<br/><br/>They not only turned a deaf ear, but defended by saying, what if we would be having wrong intentions and carried substance of abuse/destruction.<br/><br/>Wow, what Audacity!<br/><br/>(Try to be safe for self and our children, family, and others, including the staff.. this is the reply in turn.)<br/><br/>To add-on, our waiter, along with his few colleagues displayed discontent... as if, we've done something wrong to them.<br/><br/>Yet, with an upset mood, he initially started serving us the meal. But, strange as it may sound, stared at the bowl of food in his hand and took it away, without saying a word.<br/><br/>WAS THERE A COCKROACH IN THE MEAL OR WHAT?<br/><br/>Despite, repeatedly asking, there was no reply. He didn't even come to serve again or for the payment. Someone else was pushed across to do the needful.<br/><br/>Truly an eye opener, on how some companies/organizations, however, small or big; once having established a reputation for themselves, truly lose their lustre and then lack professionalism; common sense and even humanity.<br/><br/>Overall- Waste of money, time, mood and food.<br/><br/>This my friends is my review on :<br/>Mao - "NOT" The Family Restaurant.<br/>

This one is best for non veg lovers. Specially their Chinese menu. Taste was so delicious, serve fast. Staff was helpful too. Ambience was really cool. But quantity is bit low as per the price. Overall it was a great experience.

Have ordered Butter Chicken and Murgh Mussallam, and both the dishes were awesome. The service was good. If you are chicken lover then you should try chicken dishes here. You will just love it.
