I've been to the Maya many times, this was the first time since the pandemic.
Waiters were good as always and took the time to explain that they no longer serve alcohol (nor can you take your own) due to the owner deciding to take his religion more seriously after 40 years of serving alcohol in his two restaurants.
I've no issue with that but I believe it will put many off and Maya won't be much longer in Poulton. Maybe the owner has worked out that they can get by on take aways, our table was the only one at half 7 to half 9 on a Friday evening.
The food was OK but not as good as I've had previously and in my opinion not to the same quality as other Indians in Poulton any longer.
I had Chicken Chat Puri and chicken pakoras as a main.
The fact we couldn't have a beer with our meals (it was a works leaving do) meant we left as soon as we could (service wasn't very quick, hence us being in two hours and we only ordered main courses and sides), I think the kitchen may have been instructed to prioritise the take away orders of which there were maybe 5 pick ups while we were there. There was only one chef on which I think speaks volumes for a Friday night at a time when take aways have become more popular still.
Sorry Maya, it is unlikely I will return again and if your no alcohol policy applies to the Fayez in Cleveleys, I won't be going their either even though I have NEVER had a bad meal...

Read moreThe food used to be excellent full of flavour,however the quality has been declining over a period of time. The Spinach has become bland and tasteless and tastes of over used cumin. It would seem that they have changed Chefs and the care and quality has declined considerably, they don't seem to chop the onions correctly or can't be bothered and have thrown semi cut onions which aren't even cooked properly straight into the dish. Every dish is bland and has become flavourless to the point I tipped my food in the bin tonight. As for the deliveries, every time I receive my food from being delivered, everything has leaked into the bag, even after informing the restaurant??? I can only imagine the food is either stacked on top if each other without any care and to top it all tonight, my raita sauce had completely leaked into the bag along with the curry leaking into the bag. .so again no sauce...to top it the management do not reply to conplaints neither on facebook??.I won't be using this restaurant...
