Majjo's in Haringey

Wonderful samosa! Thank you so much. There are wonderful people everywhere (like here), just open your eyes x

20 years ago Majjo's had flavours in their curries 3 curries and rice All the curries had similar taste with variable degree of sweetness, by far too much sugar added ,no individual taste , no hint of cardamon, no hint of cumin , just a simple curry taste and sugar. The side portions are ridiculously small...actually made for sauces only in any other Takeaway. The price works fit ,if you fixed these issues. Please majjo please take your reviews seriously We want you in business.

Itsgenuine and authentic and great! (Why some weird reviews?). Been coming here for 10+ years. Always excellent choices of favourites and unusual new dishes like recently Lamb and beetroot that was fab! Great for Veggie dishes as well. Very easy to over order! So much choice! We buy the smaller portions sizes and order wider. Breads, Samosas etc wonderful Friendly people who enjoy and take pride in what they do,

I'm not sure why there are negative comments, as I will break my journey home to get snacks and food from here. My go-to choice for a takeaway. but a bit far to travel unless I'm passing.

Briyani is to sweet we can’t eat

great indian food always fresh been coming here for years lovely staff as well

Nice takeaway food. They sell it cold for you to reheat, which is preferable in my opinion.

This shouldn’t pass health and safety standards given the amount of unnecessary excess oil in the food. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much oil in any dish. 1/3 of the container was oil I had to carefully extract before eating.

What a massive disappointment. I have been coming to Majjos for 15 years and it used to serve the absolute best, most authentic Indian food in the area. Fast forward to today, I have since moved further away but happened to be in Finchley so decided to pick up some food there for dinner. Firstly, it was only 7pm and the options were far more limited than they used to be. Secondly, when I sat down to eat the beans were so salty they were totally inedible. The dhal tasted nothing like it used to (and not in a good way), and the yamleaf, my favourite dish had far too much thin liquid. All in all, a huge disappointment. Has the ownership changed?? I didn’t see any familiar faces behind the counter. Farah used to be there greeting the customers but no sign of her.

I visited this place 40 years ago ... it was as great as it was then. Thank you

Used to be good - now very average and pricey I ordered 2 small vegetable curries and 2 nans and paid £18. Curry was very bland with no sophistication in the spicing and the Naan was more like a paratha, certainly never having been anywhere a tandoor. I get the impression they are taking more short cuts than previously and at these prices I won’t be back.

Lovely people, and delicious food.

We got Majjos to cater for a birthday party for 20. As always the food was fantastic and everyone commented on it. Very disappointed that there no none left over 😂

Delicious food. Beyond expectations

Reliable good quality take away Indian food.

This is such a wonderful place, the homemade vegetarian curries are like no others. The bajjis and samosas with lentils are divine. The yam leaf curry is spicy, delicious and worth a try. Love everything about Majjos!

A family business, the food was tasty and the person super nice. Thank you !

The carton wasn’t secured properly and the curry was lose in the bag.

There was a dish (lamb meatballs) missing.

Chicken khaosay was absolutely delicious. Quantity was also good.Will order again

No question - the best Indian food in North London. Always quality with tender chicken and lamb. Outstanding!

Love Majjo's, have been getting takeaways / eating here for the past 8 years regularly. The dishes aren't too oily, lots of flavour and a great variety of options (meat and veggie), different spice levels to suit everyone. Yes the takeaway is served cold to heat up at home but it's not a huge inconvenience, just makes you a little hungrier in anticipation ;)

Visited this restaurant and cafe because I saw it in the good food guide and it’s not hard to see why. It really is great food and economical as you bring your own alcohol to the restaurant.

I was given the wrong order by the delivery man and when I called the restaurant they asked me to come and collect the right order from their restaurant. The whole point of me asking the food to be delivered is because I am not mobile . The restaurant couldn’t contact the driver either to bring my correct order . I requested a refund from Just Eat and it appears that they only refunds the cost of my order and not for the delivery charge nor the service charge (which in this case was an appealing service) ! JustEat please contact me for further refund of the rest of my cost

Just had the most delicious food 😋. It is so tasty. The vegetarian and vegan selection is fantastic. I would definitely recommend here. Love Majjos ❤️

Fresh, home made dishes and always different to the run of mill Indian take away - mostly excellent and the rare occasion a dish is not is simply a matter of taste.

Lovely fresh vegan curries that came very quickly after we ordered. Will order again

Great tasting food (except the chicken korma, quite possibly the worst food I’ve ever been served. A salty oily broth with unseasoned/marinated boiled anaemic meat is not a curry, see photo). As many other reviews have mentioned, the portion sizes are not meeting expectations. Would be useful to have the weight on the website to avoid confusion. The small portions are about the size of my palm, something to be aware of. I would also argue meat is not their forte as when ordering veg only previously, it was a delight. And yes you do need to heat up at home which should be mentioned more clearly, but really not a problem. Samosas are great. However, put all this together and I would hesitate to recommend.

Where to start …. A) NO WHERE on the menu does it say the takeaway is served cold to be reheated at home - that an Indian restaurant is reworked as a deli is beyond bizarre B) the portions are very very small C) The food just did not taste good at all…. D) Could not actually finish the food as it was ridiculously salty. There’s really no excuse for such a bad set up in this day and age.

Have been using this take away for years but not since lock down so was looking forward to it. The staff have always been a bit stand offish, but my god the one who served me yesterday took it to a new level , you have to stand at the door peer across to see what was available, he did not help at all, then you have to shout your order and hope he puts the correct stuff in the bag, We then got a bit confused as to whether I was paying by card or not and he started huffing and puffing if I hadn't been so hungry I would have walked away. So nice food shame about the staff .

Best Indian food i have ever tasted also an unbelievable selection to choose from will definitely be going back to try more of this one Definitely not to be missed and delightful staff too Can't wait to get some more of it

Wonderful, spicy home cooked food.

Always great food, delivered piping hot.

Pricey, but definitely some of the most delicious Indian food in London. Good portion sizes. My only complaint was that the Sag Aloo, although tasty, was almost entirely spinach. There was only a tiny amount of potato in there. It's cheaper to order it cold and heat it up yourself.

Amazing place, I've been many times and it always gives great tasting food. A little bit pricey but you can taste that the quality is high. The veggie samosas are also amazing.

Food good but packaging not so good. Ordered a hot meal. Arrived doubled bagged as oily sauce had been spilled/leaked into the inner one and spread onto the polythene boxes of food.

Lovely food as always from majjos. Tastes beautifully homemade and not greasy like most other Indian takeaways. It was a little bit more spicy but then I’m not that spice tolerant !

Majjo's delicious, fresh, home-made Indian food is amazing. I'm completely addicted to the paneer tikka and there's a fantastic vegetarian selection, plus the staff are lovely! We're so lucky to have it in our area. Can't recommend it enough.

Small menu with lots of options unavailable on certain days. plus you have to pay extra if you want the food hot which seems a little odd. the best thing was the bombay aloo and the worst was veg curry which was inedible. if i'd been in the restaurant i would have sent it back, as it stands it went in the bin

Absolutely love Majjo's. Delicious dishes. The flavours are wonderful and very unique. I have been going to this family run restaurant for many years and everytime I go, I always enjoy a good chat with Majjo's. You won't get better curry anywhere else. My favourite dish is slow cooked lamb curry and their naan breads. It melts in your mouth.

The food seemed quite a bit spicier than we were used to when we have had Majjos before

Very disappointed. I’d go here often in the past - despite the prices. They used to do an excellent slow cooked lamb curry but now it’s more like a cheaply made lamb mince spag bol sauce with added chilli. It’s the same price as well! I’m assuming it’s changed hands or management..

I've been eating Majjo's for the last 7 years or so, what sets Majjo's apart from other Indian takeaway's is the variety of dishes available which are home recipes, flavours which you may not find anywhere else! The flavours are always fresh and really stimulate your palate. They also opened a sit in restaurant some years ago with the welcome addition of a BBQ style mixed meat platter which is always my favourite, the lamb chops, seekh kebab and chicken tikka are very nice and succulent. I always look forward to their BBQ platter or takeaway especially when the slow cooked Lamb Nihari is available! My favourite Indian takeaway by far, family run, authentic and community oriented!

There was a slight issue with our order which was resolved immediately by restaurant staff calling me directly. Amazing service and amazing food. I will decibel be ordering again. Thank you majjos

I think some people miss the point...the food is cold for you to warm up at your leisure!!! I have been going here since it opened more or less. It's as good as ever. We only get veg items. Always perfect. The yam is a staple and ... wonderful. Matar paneer just great. The chap who usually serves customers is a nice friendly chap which always helps. What's not to like? Price?...well go and buy cheaper, inferior food if you like. It's not cheap but the quality is high...

Food is good but is served cold, It is over priced and the containers are very small compared to your standard restaurant. I give this place 2 for the overall experience. Shame because if the food was hot, priced well and the containers were bigger this place would have a 5 star rating. You seam to feel you have been ripped off when you order from here .

I love the vegetarian and vegan food here but sadly they cannot take feedback on their portion sizes (see other reviews too). I reviewed them online and have now twice been stopped and negitively questioned at the store about my review, very bizarre Idea of customer service! I stand by my review that the portion sizes are not adequate. And now add to that that I wouldn't be comfortable returning due to the owners idea of customer interface.......which needs some work! Having spent my money here for years I have a bitter taste in my mouth. What a shame

We always order from takeaway and never got disappointed but yesterday we ordered charcoal from the restaurant ; lamb chops, lamb kebabs and paneer tikka. I must admit it was the best charcoal I ever had & the marination was just perfect. The staff was so helpful and assisted me with the order. Will Definitely order again and highly recommended.

The biggest problem with this place is that they serve cold food, and its just as expensive as a restaurant. Id rather go and get hot food for those prices. You would think the whole point of selling it cold would be to save on cost and sell cheap food but this isnt the case. Avoid it unless maybe you are just buying bread which i thought was good.

Mediocre food. Friendly staff but restaurant lacked atmosphere.

food not bad.but dont think i have ever seen such tiny portions.only enough for a ( young ) child. ridiculously overpriced for such a small amount of food. wont be going back

Amazing food, amazing service. Best curry I've had to this day

Delicious and authentic! Best Indian I've had in London! You can eat-in, however I like to get takeaway from the little shop next door - the service is friendly and efficient.

Portion sizes much smaller than before and very overpriced

Best Indian takeaway in London.

Expensive, bland taste, not so much as a smile from the server and to top it off, been up all night with stomach cramps on the toilet. Terrible.

Average quality food sold in smaller than average portions for above average prices - cold. While the idea of a canteen style take-away to bring a meal home to reheat would be worthwhile if a) the food were great and b) the price of the cold foods were value for money, this long running experiment in gouging the public with its expensive chilled takeaway seems inexplicably to continue. Honestly you'll get the same dishes at any supermarket cold take-out counter at better prices. Once was enough. Twenty quid for two dishes.

Today I bought curry for the dinner. I ate about 9PM is almost 12PM and... I still can't sleep as I am vomiting all time... Don't recommend

Best Indian takeaway in north London

Visité por capricho, no por masas, sino por lo que nos convenía. Dos platos, refrescos y un entrante para menores de 40 años. La comida estaba muy bien preparada, llena de sabor, ensalada fresca. Muy feliz y volvería otra vez.

Best curry around. Amazing meat, veggie and vegan options.

The takeaway is better. The corkage charge at £5 per bottle was a bit much

I had 3 dishes and they charged me 40 pounds and they were very small portions and not very tasty. Very expensive for take away.

This place is absolutely the best Indian takeaway in Finchely. They have some fabulous meat and vegetarian dishes and lots of extra specialities like Punjabi samosas and lots of different Pakoras, as well as Naans, Chapatis, Puris and pappadums + Kulfi ice cream for afters. There is also an Eat In restaurant two doors allong with fabulous tandoori cooked meats and kebabs. I promise you will be spoilt for choice!

Not usually one to complain, but this was genuinely the worse curry I've ever had. I went for the korma, but due to the cooking pots not being cleaned properly my chicken korma tasted like fish. Regardless of that, the whole meal was average at the very best, and the menu seemed confused. Ie sagaloo was a main... won't be returning.

Amazing mix of vegetarian and meat curries. A lot more authentic than most.

Auténtica cocina casera hecha por una familia apasionada de grandes chefs. El restaurante no estaba tan lleno, así que sigue siendo una joya escondida de un lugar, lista para el descubrimiento.Si eres como yo, quien piensa que muchos chefs indios ahora sirven el mismo tipo de salsa de degustación sobre el plato que sirven, entonces este es el lugar para que pruebes.No puedo felicitarlo lo suficiente.

We have had food from the takeaway section of Majjo's many times before and it is always excellent - really tasty, interesting curries, different to your bog standard indian or pakistani takeaway. Last Saturday we decided to try the actual restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, as we expected, and the service was fantastic as well - really friendly staff. The restaurant itself is clean and pleasant, but perhaps lacks a little bit of atmosphere. We got chatting to the owner and she asked for feedback on the decor as it's something she is trying to improve. Hopefully she will address the lighting and decoration to make it slightly more inviting and atmospheric as the food here is absolutely superb and it could, and should, be a thriving local restaurant. It's slightly off the main drag and unseen from the High Road - but it is well worth seeking out! It would be a real shame if another local, independent restaurant were to go under - especially one that is so good - so please give it a try and you won't be disappointed!

Bought a meat thali for just over a tenner rice vegetables and meat in a container which you heat in a microwave. I haven't used this place in quite a while due to changes in routine but popped in last Sunday. The premises have been modernised and offer a much wider range than before. And the great thing is they don't seem to use ghee which makes the food delicious

The best Indian restaurant I have had the pleasure of visiting. Genuine home cooking at this family owned and run restaurant. Friendly top end service. Bring your own hooch. Their takeaway is almost next door. Even so, for me eating in is by far preferable. A lovely meal out with special friends.

Always promised myself I would try this place as it smelled great every time I passed by. The place is clean and we'll presented and the counters were stocked with a variety of currys, Rice's, sides etc. They prepare all the food in an open kitchen so you can see. I bought a couple of meat curry dishes some sides. These were put in containers cold for you to heat up at home. The food was excellent and I was very glad to have tried it at long last...but....it is very expensive and as such I will only visit on rare occasions.

Never write reviews but thought I needed to about Majjos. I picked up some food for my husband, as we don't live in the area. He said it was the 'Best Indian I've ever had'. The portions weren't large but the amount of good quality meat in the portions as opposed to the usual Indian's -all sauce and veg but little meat, certainly made up for it. The chicken karahi melted in his mouth and the meatballs were unbelievable - he told me! I am a vegetarian and had some excellent dahl and the cheese and peas were to die for! The rice was perfectly cooked too. Would love to try their restaurant next.

Wow. I don't think I have ever had a worse curry ( if I can call it that) in my life!! The chicken korma was watery and not creamy, the taste was bland and boring, and the servings were tiny and overpriced. In all honesty it was an embarrassment to Indian Food and a complete let down. Honestly save your time, and go somewhere else or buy a microwavable curry from the supermarket as it tastes better and is far cheaper. Absolutely pathetic. Never going again. Service was okay. And is the only reason it even gets a star.

Short menu. Excellent food and good service.

Llegamos a cenar y éramos los únicos comensales. El menú era muy limitado y fue un poco un problema seleccionar platos que atrajeron. Pedimos, en su mayoría platos a base de cordero con algunas verduras tradicionales y arroz. ¡Entonces nos informaron que no había cordero! ! Todos pedimos pollo, que era muy sosa. El hombre era duro e insípido. No volveremos.

Todo es muy lindo El dhall está poco cocido. Sería tan bueno si cada plato pudiera etiquetarse en lugar de tener que señalar a cada uno por turno y preguntar qué es. Además, sería genial si los platos veganos pudieran reunirse en una sección skpo, usted sabe cuáles son separados de los vegetarianos (que ES separado). Selección de pan encantador y una increíble selección de samosas. Puede calentar la comida, llevarla fría o comer en el mostrador. Perfeccionan a Thalis. Las salsas caseras son realmente frescas.

I can honestly say I feel down, disappointed, dissatisfied and ripped off after going to Majjo's. Service was ok and place itself was ok, the people there was nice and made the effort. But none of that could compensate for the minuses - very small portions and very expensive, I would have eaten more even on a diet! They were so small I asked if they were full portions as they offer half or full, but I wasn't willing to order more as I knew the portions are small because they are too focused on profit. The thing is the food itself (rice, dal, bread etc and vegetarian food) is very cheap anyway. It's stupid really that they think they can make more profit by saving on products which are very cheep - you make money on volume by selling a lot, ie bigger portions, lower prices and therefore more customers and more returning customers. The place was almost empty on a Saturday evening, so they're not getting much business but they would if they improved the portions sizes and decreased the prices. The also have too little variety and not enough vegetarian food. The menu was also too complicated and we had to ask many questions when we ordered to find out and get what we wanted. So I wouldn't go back and next time, I'm going to read reviews as others here had already posted the same complaints about prices and portion sizes.

This place is a rip off, the portions are so small.

Used to be better. Now poorer quality and overpriced. They're selling frozen samosas now!

Excellent range of mostly delicious food, but they are pretty heavy-handed with salt, and pretty expensive too. Food is well flavoured, varied, very good veg options

Am surprised at the good reviews. Very nice staff but restaurant food quality I found to be poor compared to so many other lovely Indian Restaurants in Finchley. The dishes were swimming in oil

less then ok over price will not walk again

Food is tasty but these are by far unreasonably small portions for the price. I'm sure they'd get more business if they created more value for the consumer. I'm a repeat customer but only occasionally, would consider going more frequently if portions were bigger for the steep price. Picture shows standard takeaway vs Majjo's large portion.

He estado yendo aquí por años. Excelente comida, que es cualquier cosa menos la opción habitual en un restaurante indio. Hecho en casa, fresco y muy sabroso. Sí, tienes que calentar en casa pero ¿es eso un gran problema? Puedo recomendar la alholva de pollo y el cordero de remolacha, pero mi favorito es el cilantro de pollo.

The food in the restaurant is excellent. So tasty and some unusual dishes. The fish cooked on charcoal was a favourite. A little pricey but a nice treat.

It does feel authentic but for a cold take away it is super expensive

Muy caro, comida de mala calidad. Teníamos el pollo al jengibre, que era pasable, pero apenas sabor a jengibre, los guisantes y el queso que consistía en unos trozos de paneer y unos guisantes en una salsa muy delgada, acuosa e insípida, el corriander naan que estaba bien y un coco dulce que se sentía rancio y aunque era dulce no tenía sabor a coco. En conjunto, una comida muy pobre y decepcionante, que nunca se repetirá.

I hate giving bad reviews, I really do, but this place was pretty bad. We went in to the restaurant for a meal last night. The service wasn't exactly rude - it was more like she didn't really work in the service profession and therefore wasn't good at it. The food was the worst though - the Korma tasted like vegetable soup poured over chicken. I see it has lots of good reviews, so maybe we ordered things they aren't good at, but I was really disappointed.

The food is nice but very, very expensive. Sixty pounds for a takeaway for three people that you not only have to collect, but also heat up yourself is a bit ridiculous!

Nice takeaway. It is sold cold for you to heat up, which is unusual, and other reviewers don't seem to like that aspect, but from a food safety point of view it is much better than takeaways that are hot at point of sale but are likely to end up sitting around at a dangerous intermediate temperature for a period of time.

Delicious food every time! Home cooked style Indian food. Never disappoints.

Used to be great, now ridiculously expensive for what i could only call 'good' fare. Instead, walk for 5 more minutes up Fortis Green to Indian Rasoi

Amazing Lentil Daal, Lamb and Beetroot dish was to die for. Plus numerous other dishes, service was excellent. 13 very satisfied and very happy customers

Muy decepcionado, mi marido y yo hemos estado aquí por la comida y decidí sentarme en como estábamos realmente hambriento. La zona de estar se asemeja a la de un establecimiento de comida rápida, con sólo unos pocos asientos en frente de la barra, muy básico y no es cómodo. Pedimos nuestra comida y nos trajeron. Sin preguntarnos el personal había hecho nuestra comida en el microondas durante unos segundos para calentar. Más tarde, cuando paga quedamos muy sorprendidos al ver que el precio de la comida había subido de 5 libras. Cuando vivíamos en la zona alrededor de hace 6 años, solíamos comer allí regularmente y nunca nos cobran un suplemento. Nosotros no vamos a allí de nuevo.

Este restaurante para el sentarse abajo. Llegar allí desde el metro o autobús, ya que el parking puede ser complicado.

Good food and friendly service. They were happy to advise on the choices available.

Me gusta la comida de Majjo. . Pero lo que no puedo. bear, es la forma que tienen de llenar el cartón. . . . Algunas veces me siento como el Twist Oliver (más por favor)

I can't recommend this place highly enough, lovely original dishes. Yam leaf curry mmmmh yum, and lamb and tomato melt in your mouth. Different to you bulk standard Indian, obviously some of the reviewers have got no taste buds! Try the slow cooked lamb and the yam leaf Curry, great stuff!

This has to be the worst place we've ever bought takeaway from. The place itself looks ok and was pretty busy on a Friday night, the food (sold cold?!) is pricey, but totally lacking decent flavours and left us really disappointed. We were 4 people tasting it and none of the curries we've bought were worth the money. Never again.

Absolutely disgusting food. I don't know how they are still in business selling such terrible food. My advise is to avoid this place!
