Maya Da Dhaba — Restaurant in Sydney

This place used to be my usual spot for Indian food in Sydney city area but my last trip was an extreme disappointment. food quality was very poor. the staff lacked knowledge about the food. food did not seem freshly cooked. lacked authentic flavors and the use of frozen vegetables seemed to be the norm now which was the biggest letdown.

Went here again Oct 2017 and we were a group pf 6 people , got a table as it was about 2 pm on a weekday. restaurent was empty with just another one or two tables occupied with 4 people in total. we ordered the dishes which were 2 curries and dhal, rice, naan and dum biryani. we requested the dhal to have no chilly in it so out 3 year old could have it. the food came after about 20 minutes which i believe was to long as the restaurant was empty. the first dish were the curries and we were left waiting for Naan. the dhal had chilly in it and the little one refused it eat it so we asked for some plain yogurt which i was told they did not have. instead they offered me raita which we did not want. then the waiter told me that there was no youghurt at all but raita only . i then requested to see the chef or the manager who then came a bit later and i explained to him and he had the same thing to say . when i told him that this was the first Indian restaurant that did not have yogurt and also told him that Punjabi food is always eaten with yogurt be was then sorry and the yogurt was on the table a few minutes later. the dum biryani did not have any covering and was returned and redone correctly. there also seemed to be a disconnect between the staff and...

I don't usually remember to write reviews unless I was amazed by a restaurant's service and quality. Could not fault anything! Their service and food is top notch, and everyone should give them a try!

Long review incoming:

We came in with an odd request. I had ordered off Menulog because I had a Menulog voucher I had to finish, but I asked in the requests section if we could either dine-in, or allow us to eat from the takeaway boxes in the restaurant. Mind you, this was a request they didn't have to fulfill, I think it's reasonable for a restaurant to not allow this.

However, they delivered an excellent service. Not only did they serve us a seat and welcomed us warmly, we were also served complimentary papadums and a bowl of rice, none of which we ordered. Their service was excellent and there was zero confusions over the situation.

The food here is amazing. We love Indian food, and this is actually the second time we've ordered from them. The first time, we had Butter Chicken and Khumb Palak, and the second we had Goat Masala and Chicken Korma. All were amazing and we couldn't fault anything. The Cheese Naan is also so fragrant and buttery, one of the best I've had.

Edit: We forgot to take pictures because we were too hungry and everything looked too good. 😍😭

They've definitely earned themselves a repeat customer for the truly spectacular service and amazing food. You won't regret...
