Check spice. Ask about heat before ordering: one diner found a spicy eggplant dish just right, while another called the misal pav and vada pav seriously spicy.
Inspect bill. Compare the menu and bill before paying; a diner noticed different prices only after the transaction was complete.
Allow time. Avoid tight schedules at busy festival meals; one Gudi Padwa visit took an hour after ordering and required repeated follow-ups.
Consider dine-in. For takeaway, confirm stock, minimum order requirements and delivery timing first, as several delivery attempts went wrong.
Use valet. If you are driving, ask the hotel about valet parking; one review reports it was free.
Try thalis. The fish, chicken and mutton thalis are among the clearest ways to sample the restaurant’s Maharashtrian menu.

Multiple diners reported being ignored, waiting for menus or water, and needing to repeatedly chase orders.
During a Gudi Padwa lunch, dishes arrived over roughly an hour, with each item spaced about half an hour apart.
Some reviews describe stale or watery, tasteless gravies and disappointing thalis despite other diners praising the food.
Two diners said the prices on their bills did not match the menu, and one also mentioned an extra tax beyond government tax.
Delivery reviewers reported accepted orders being cancelled below AED 100 or arriving far later than promised.
The Bottom Line
Peshwa Restaurant Jebel Ali is a Maharashtrian-focused Indian restaurant in Jebel Ali Village, with a menu that gives you plenty to explore beyond standard curry-house fare. Reviews specifically mention fish Koliwada, Kolhapuri chicken curry, misal pav, thalipeeth and several fish, chicken, mutton and vegetarian thalis. The restaurant is also known for Marathi-themed cocktails, including Sagar Nilali and Popcorn Cha Bhagwa.
The strongest pattern is flavour when the kitchen gets it right: diners praise fresh seafood, melt-in-the-mouth puranpolis, kothambir vadi, bhakri and traditional dishes. The setting has Marathi cultural decor and is described as casual and family friendly. Complimentary hotel valet parking was also reported, which is useful at this location.
Service is much less predictable. Some visits feature quick, attentive hospitality, while others involve ignored tables, incomplete thalis, dirty plates and long waits; a festival lunch took an hour after ordering. Food reviews are similarly mixed, with some diners reporting watery gravies or stale, tasteless chicken.
Delivery has drawn particularly serious complaints about minimum order demands and missed timings. If you visit, ask about spice levels, allow extra time during busy occasions and check the bill against the menu before paying. The restaurant may suit diners seeking regional Maharashtrian dishes, but expectations should be tempered by the uneven recent service and food reports.
