About

When Amaya opened its doors in June 2007, the idea was simple: demonstrate that Indian food served in a modern way could still stay true to its roots. We use high-quality raw ingredients with classic Indian cooking methods. We have a small menu compared to other Indian restaurants. We plan to keep a focused menu, but will consider additions that we think make sense.

Had a fantastic dinner at Amaua Burlington tonight. This was the best Indian food I have ever had and I have travelled all over India. The fish curry, tamarind eggplant coconut rice, cauliflower appetizer, garlic Naan all of this you must try. Delicious.

What a lovely place to enjoy some particularly excellent Indian food. The chicken tikka we started with was ridiculously moist and tender - it was truly perfect and easily the best chicken dish of any restaurant I've had in ages. The beef madras was a simmering wonder of spice and flavour. Once again the protein (beef this time) was moist and tender with zero gristle that can be so common in a curry. The beef korma was, like everything else, perfect. I think this is easily some of the best Indian food I've had in my life. My friend and I left full and very happy with that warm glow that good food creates. Immaculate interior, glistening kitchen, and a nice quiet retreat from Brant street. I will certainly be coming back to try more from the menu.

I dined here yesterday and it completely exceeded my expectations. With most places closed on New Year's Eve, this restaurant was open and serving up some incredible food. The staff were incredibly friendly and provided top-notch service throughout the evening. As someone who has struggled to find halal Indian cuisine outside of the GTA, I was thrilled to discover that this restaurant offered a halal menu. The fact that they were open late and still serving up high-quality dishes was a huge bonus. The food itself was outstanding. The flavors were rich and authentic, and the portions were extremely generous. I left feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. Overall, I couldn't have been more impressed with my experience at this restaurant. Thank you to the entire staff for an unforgettable evening. I can't wait to come back again soon. Here are some of the pictures of the food items that we ordered.

Delightful experience overall. Friendly staff, enticing menu that did not disappoint with extraordinary flavours and quality cuts of meat. The pieces of meat in each dish were large, tender and very nice cuts. Restaurant is busy in the evening. Unfortunately, I felt that the frequency of Skip the Dishes delivery drivers took away from our intimate dinner/date when they came and left through the restaurant during our meal. We also noticed that the portions were smaller (two samosas instead of prior serving of three) and prices have also increased.

We tried the dinner for 2 and it was excellent! Great portion sizes and we still had leftovers. The Naan bread tastes so fresh and the curries were very flavourful. I also enjoyed the vegetable pakora. A fantastic spot in downtown Burlington!

May 21, 2024

We ordered Chicken Tikka, momos and some naan. Trust me the chicken was stale, uncooked and tasted really horrible. More like rubber tikka than chicken tikka. The bread was just okay. You dont want to eat here at all unless you like being very disappointed with your food.

Always a great place to visit. Delicious food, friendly staff. Weve had lots of great lunch meetings here. Parking can be tricky to find but its not expensive to park at least. The butter chicken, korma, and vindaloo are great. Theyll make it extra spicy or not spicy if you ask. A drink menu would be great. We always just get water but would love a cheetah with lunch.

Tandoori Roti was thin and nicely baked. Service was a bit not-up-to-the-mark as the server missed a couple items we ordered but he made up with complimentary Gulab Jamuns for all 6 of us.

We have gone to Amaya for years despite living 40 minutes away and we have always enjoyed great service and good food. We were shocked when we went for dinner tonight and the prices on the menu had dramatically changed and the portion sizes were noticeably smaller. We ordered the meal for 4 and the butter chicken had 5 pieces of chicken in it. The meal that previously came with 3 meat dishes now offered only 2 at a higher price. There is also no longer dessert included anymore. We understand the increases cost of food would result in higher menu prices but this was so significant that the value is no longer there and we won t return.

My husband and I went to Amaya Express last night for dinner and we were SO impressed by the food and the service. The food arrived piping hot from the kitchen, was so fresh, and had so much flavour. The portion sizes were generous and we had lots to take home. Our server was so nice and helpful. There are lots of vegan options on the menu which I appreciate so much. Amaya Express is our new favourite spot for Indian food and we will definitely be back! Vegetarian options: I really appreciated that the menu and our server differentiated between the vegetarian and fully vegan options on the menu! Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options!

Weve gotten takeout a couple times now from Amaya and the food is always very consistently delicious and hearty. The portions are a tad on the smaller side compared to some of the other Indian places in Burlington, but the quality of the food is good. Support local during these tough times and order takeout if you can!

Very weak customer service. I had ordered 2 simple dishes which cost me $45. I asked for a non- spicy food and on the phone they told me they will make sure the food is non-Spicy. They delivered the food when it was written mild on it and it was very spicy. After I called them told me they cant do anything for that, just next time they will make it non spicy! I am not happy with the wrong information they gave me before ordering the food, manipulating and not respecting the customer, they were not polite and they said they are busy with other call and disconnected the phone without any respect.

Food was so good! A little pricy but well worth the money. Better quality than what you may find in Brampton that s for sure. Lamb vindaloo and coconut rice was my favourite! Also tried the eggplant dish and the Amaya prawns for the first time which was phenomenal! Ambience and background music was nice too. Would recommend and would go back again

My husband and I just ordered chicken tikka Masala today and just amazing! So authentic! We have never eaten at this Amaya location before but so good. The best one yet. Tastes like someone really cooked their home cooked love in a dish. We have eaten at a few amaya locations and never have they been this good!! We will definitely be back again. Maybe tomorrow. Dreaming about the flavors.

One of the finest dinning experiences. The food was so authentic and flavourful. Just looked like we ate direct from a kitchen of India. We ordered Kashmiri Dum Aalu and Dal Makhnie. Both these veggies were to die for. Samosa chaat was yummy too. Loved their hospitality. Will recommend to try their food

Amazing place! Great food great staff!! Everyone is so helpful. The food tastes amazing, havent had that good Indian food for a while now. The service is also so good. They really treat you like they care for you. Also I loved the infrastructure. Would totally recommend

December 21, 2021

Worst Indian food. I ordered chicken kabob, chicken tikka masala and naan. Chicken tikka was basically chicken thrown in tomato puree; it has no flavor and taste like tomato puree. chicken kabob was under cooked and didnt taste good at all. Naan is most basic think every Indian food chef must know. their naan was so thick and taste like eating raw dough. Very bad food.

I always order for take out and food is always ready on time and is accurate to order. Food is delicious. They have the best samosas and they have excellent variety. At first glance, it seems expensive but I find it is great value for money due to the excellent quality and generous portions. Ordering a rice and curry is enough to feed myself for a few meals so it actually cheaper than eating at some fast food places. The Paneer Makhani, samosas, Lasuni Cauliflower are all must trys.

If you are planning to have dinner here on Saturday night make sure you place order atleast 36Hours before only then there are chances that they will not make you wait for more then 10mins.

Ive been to this location of Amaya twice. Both times the food was excellent. The tandoor chef really knows his stuff. The varieties of naan offered here are phenomenal. Do not miss out on the kebabs either. I have also ordered catering from this location for approximately 170 people. The food was raved over by everyone who tasted it. Definitely one of the joints I would recommend if you ever have a craving for Indian Cuisine.

We have been loyal customers for a long time, but recently our takeout experience has been very disappointing. I think as their customer base grew they kind of got spoiled. The portions are ridiculously small, the quality of food is lacking, I will definitely take my business elsewhere, they don t deserve our loyalty.

Big fan of their Mississauga location at Square One Mall so decided to try their Burlington location today. Super disappointed! Food was absolutely disgusting. Waited 15mns for their chana batura because it s always made fresh they said but there is no way what I got was fresh! The puri s were loaded with oil especially around the edges which indicated it s staleness right off the bat. The first bite proved the rest. Felt like I was eating rubber. This may work on other nationalities who don t really know the difference but will never work on people who eat this stuff regularly and know better! The chana was also horrific. Overloaded with oil, thick gravy and totally inedible. Again appeared like it was made days ago as the gravy thickens with time. Fresh gravy is light and runny. Save your money and don t eat here. If there was an option to give zero stars I would take it.

Ambience : Great Safety: Great Service: Great Food: Below average Price: $$$ Overall: For the price range and the food, its not a place that i would visit again. Reasons why we(group of 6) did not like the food. 1. Veg Biriyani tasted like Masala Rice 2. Lasuni califlower was not even crispy. it was soaked in oil 3. Panner tikka was a bit raw but tasty though.

Very Bad pickup service : Always almost order i NOT READY for skip pickup. Waited half an hour for order pickup Have to press button at back door to call them several times and after that one of the staff member came and told me that it will be a couple of minutes. I reached back after 10-12 minutes, pressed button and another guy came and told me they just packing it. after waiting of another 15Min, I pressed button again and came with order and told me sorry for little wait. little? seriously? Also meanwhile tried to contact customer service, They told me that Restaurant stated that order is ready!! Very Bad experience for pickup!
