| - Nothing is better than a fully belly before bed!
Summerlicious 2009, our friend suggested Amaya for a get-together over food. Needless to say we group of friends are hearty eaters and love Indian food (well, we love any type of food!).
Walking into Amaya, you get a wonderful waft of all the goodness that is being cooked up in the kitchen. It's a relatively small restaurant, which I image is typical of restaurants in the Bayview & Eglington area.
We were seated in the back right outside the kitchen, normally, that doesn't make people enjoy their experience, but we had front row seats to the view into what the chefs were doing. We were right next to a big viewing window into the kitchen and the only bad thing that sitting there did was make our mouths water even more.
We all had the $25 Summerlicious menu, which we were told was made up of the most popular dishes that Amaya had to offer. Our table had the Palak Patte Kui Chaat, as well as the Subx Bhar for starters, the Masala Lime Lamb and the Butter Chicken for the entrees and then Rasmalai with Pistachio and Rice Pudding. We ordered extra naan (Plain, Garlic as well as the Butter) because we love scooping up every last drop of sauce. Everything was oh so wonderful! The menu had many other things that we all wanted to try as well and I think they would have all been as tasty.
That said, we didn't leave the restaurant until 11pm and by that time we were all ready for bed. It's always a nice feeling to be full and just ready to roll into bed after a really good meal!
What is also nice is that they have a take-out/delivery menu and a few locations. I WILL go back to Amaya!
