Maaya Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Baku City

We thought we would enter a pleasant indian theme experience but it turned out to be disappointing. We made it clear to the waiter that our spicy tolerance was low so we asked for mild dishes. specifically our grandmother could not eat spicy. After ordering our meals for specific dietary restrictions we awaited for our meals to arrive.

My grandmother and I shared a meal and it was very spicy so she could not eat it and we ate our naan and shared other dishes that were tolerable but still had a kick to it. My sister ordered a vegetable dish and rice but it turned out to be a paneer masala. Although paneer was not mentioned in the description. We asked the waiter for explanation and he told us that there was no mistake in the order. Other dishes were described as paneer and this one did not. She she could not eat it. She had some sauce and here friend shared with her. My mother enjoyed her lamb dish.

As this experience could not get worse they started blasting music, we asked to lower the volume and we were rejected, belly dancers started owning the room with hips and galant costumes as a man started feeling up one of the girls. And it was very salacious.

We left with aching ears and a linger in...

Absolutely fantastic Indian dining experience at Maaya!

The food was exceptional – from the rich and creamy butter chicken to the perfectly spiced biryani and the soft, flavorful naan and garlic naan. Every bite was delicious and full of authentic flavor. The raita added a refreshing touch, and the portions were generous and satisfying.

The atmosphere was simple and calm, perfect for a relaxed meal. A special mention goes to the service: the entire staff was welcoming, but the only female waitress stood out for her kindness, professionalism, and warm attitude – she made us feel truly cared for.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy real Indian cuisine in a peaceful and friendly...

The place is located at the Boulevard and serves decent Indian food.

Overall, the food is nice but the service at times can be a bit slow (due to a lot of rush with them). I recommend booking in advance to be able to properly get a table.

It is not cheap but not very expensive (around 30-40 AZN per person for a proper meal) .

We really liked their Aloo Mutter, Veg Biryani and Lassi.

Also, the location is very close to Crescent mall and also on the Boulevard, so a good walk after the meal is possible 😉

All in all, a good place to have Indian food at. Also, special mention to the staff for being courteous...
