Amaya Express

Very disappointed with the food and the menu. Quality and quantity is not the worth pricing. It’s a rip off. Will never order from here again. Butter chicken tastes like Campbell’s tomato soup with little pieces of chicken. Lamb biryani lacked the lamb. Had only a cpl pieces of lamb in it. Everything comes with little meat but lots of sauce. None of the food came with rice or naan bread. You have to order it separately. Again that’s a rip off as that should be included. Don’t order from.

Great food. Very flavourful. Naan bread is excellent and the sauces are always rich. Only reason it is 4 Stars as opposed to 5 is because it’s a bit pricey and the delivery can take some time

The box meals consist of a few teaspoons of curry with a pound of rice. The samosa’s were not fresh and everything was slopped all over the container. The salad was a thimble of vegetables that tasted like chemicals. The order was of unacceptable quality therefore called the restaurant who refused to assist and couldn’t care less about customer service or satisfaction. Use to be my favourite restaurant but I won’t have my family treated with such disrespect as I experienced on the phone and $ 70 worth of food that’s a complete disaster.

Excellent takeout, my go-​to for Indian food. I’ve never been disappointed by Amaya and my friends from India love it.

Although the food may be fine, a delivery time of 2 hours is not acceptable. Maybe it is ok to eat at the restaurant but I do not recommend ordering delivery.

Food is decent, chefs/​cooks are awesome, but servers are something to be experienced. I suggest you eat in, and listen to them complain and ridicule customers who call in. It’s quite something. Imagine what they’ll say about you when you’re gone.

My wife and I really enjoy ordering take out from this place. The food is always consistent and in my opinion, the best Indian food in town.
There is never a long wait between order time and delivery, and once I placed an order and forgot to order garlic naun (I only ordered regular) and when I picked it up I noticed my mistake, and they made me some fresh garlic naun on the spot for no extra charge. It made me feel special as a customer.

Just dropped in for a quick lunch — got the butter chicken, rice and naan. Friendly, fast service (even though the place was empty)
Food was brought over quickly in little copper vessels and man– I have had a lot of Indian food in my day and I was very surprised at how good it was.
The rice was very tasty, perfectly cooked, and the chicken was moist and very flavourful. Naan was great too — completely exceeded my expectations! I will definitely be going back here.

This may very well be the most overpriced restaurant I’ve been to. The portions are tiny – my chicken kebab appetizer featured two pieces on my kebab; the fish and prawn curry featured three pieces of fish and two prawns for twenty dollars. The food we did get was excellent, but we left hungry. Even the coconut rice pudding servings were scanty – and we’re talking bout a cheap dish of milk and rice, here! My husband ordered a pop and was charged for the refill – three dollars each! The décor is nice, the service is good, but for the kind of profit they must be making, it damn well ought to be.

I’ve been wanting to try indian food for a while, but since I can’t really handle spicy food, I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy it. Finally, I tried Amaya Express a couple weeks ago and I have to say, it was delicious! I was a bit hesitant because it’s a chain and I wanted to try something authentic, but this being my first experience with Indian food, I cant really tell.
My husband and I picked up a ‘Dinner for 4′ with extra naan to share with some friends. All of us (including my almost 2yr old son) loved it! It wasn’t a bad price either, considering we had so much food it lasted us (and the other couple) a few days.
Sooo tastey! — even when you’re too lazy to reheat the leftovers: P

Became a fan of AE late this summer, and am more in love with their Curry chicken now than when I first tried it! The Naan is AMAZING too! It is a tad on the expensive side, but it’s worth working into your budget if you love spicy Indian curry chicken like me!

Not sure about how authentic the food is, but it’s hella tasty.
Amaya Express (pretty obvious from the name) is part of the Amaya chain of restaurants/​eateries.
For a bit I’d be going to the Indian Room, but I discovered Amaya Express just a block or two down the street on Bayview. AE is essentially the same thing as IR, but without all that ‘jazz’ … waiter service, romantic ambiance, alcohol.
There’s a very small dining area, but it seems that most go for the delivery or take-​out options. Check out their website for their menu. On Monday’s and Tuesday’s, the ‘Dinner for 2′ is cheaper than other days of the week. You can also buy prepackaged food and sauces.
For Indian take-​out, I come here. It’s close to home and the food is pretty good.
Yay, I’m a fan.

One word — yummy!!!
They have a few tables in the front and we actually ate in. It was cozy and had an understated elegance with friendly, detail oriented service and superb presentation.
As for the food, the Naan is among the best I’ve had and the tamarind sauce for the Onion Bhaji was delightfully playful.
Will definitely add it to my list of faves.
