I have visited this location a few times and I like it best among all the other Amaya restaurants in the city.
I think they have brought down their prices a bit. The food is always presented well and flavourful but this time it was too salty for my taste. We had the following dishes.
1. Eggplant fritters - They always offer you something complementary, which is a nice surprise to start off the meal :). The fritter were crunchy and were complimented with some vibrant and tasty chutneys (mango, mint and tamarind).
2. Mixed grill for 2 - This is basically a kebab platter chicken tikka, sheekh kebab and tandoori prawns. I was really looking forward to the prawns but they were substituted with malai chicken kebab which was pretty good too. I liked the sheekh kebab the best as the rest of the meat was a bit dry. They served the kebab platter with a refreshing side of salad and pickled onions.
3. Biryani - You can't write a review for an Indian restaurant without tasting their biryani. It is a dish which is hard to master and involves a lot of work. The rice was quite aromatic but was a bit mushy. We also got a complimentary cucumber raita with it which toned down the spices quite well.
4. Chicken Mughlai Korma - Rich and creamy. It was also very fragrant. It's a shame that the chicken was a bit dry and overcooked. At least that proves that they use white meat here :P.
5. Garlic Naan - Full of flavour, so good I could eat it all alone!!
Service was great. Everything came on time...it was like a well-oiled machine. We got our complimentary starters then our kebab platter. After we were done they were prompt in changing out plates and serving main course.
The food was very filling and plentiful. We got 1 huge app, 2 mains and sides for $50 plus tax and had enough leftovers for 2 more meals!
Overall these are my ratings.
Food- 3 stars because of the amount of salt.
Service - 4 stars. The waiters are always courteous, professional and were glad to get my feedback about the salty food.
Ambiance - 3.5 stars. I would recommend you to sit at the front of the restaurant. We were seated closer to the kitchen and they seriously need to get some doors installed there. It can get quite noisy. All the other times I have sat in the front room and it has been pretty quiet.
