| - Remember that time I took a vow to not eat meat? Well, that went out the door when I walked into Maurya.
I literally followed my nose into this place. I was leaving Higher Ground and got lured in by the spicy aromas of the Indian food and I think ghee (a butter-like food). It was after 10 PM, and the sign said they were closed at 10:30 PM. I popped my head into the restaurant and asked if they were still accepting diners? *JOY* They were, and we were promptly seated.
I feel super, extra bad for skipping the extensive selection of vegetarian dishes, and going straight for the meat dishes. And let me tell you, it was worth it for my tummy! The butter chicken was so delicious! It was spiced perfectly and was amazingly tasty! We ordered coconut rice and naan, and the rice was delicious but the flavours did compete, which was our bad--not the restaurant.
The dishes are really well-priced, like $10-14, and the portions are quite large. I ate my butter chicken for leftovers the next day. One of my favourite dishes is a "salad" or dip called raita-- it's shredded cucumbers, carrots, onions, spices in plain yogurt. I normally never order it but I was in the mood for some home-cooking and Maurya's raita was just like my mom's! I loved it dearly!
