    Cat fish and grits
    Trevor L.

    Overall a pleasant experience would recommend. Food is pretty good. The waffles are made with what it seems to be a light cinnamon spice batter which was really good. The chicken tenders were definitely juicy and perfectly cooked. The flights were the strong enough to have you feeling really good by time you're done. Service was good considering things got busy right after we placed our order. The music was just right and helped boost the ambiance. The interior isn't too big and not too small just the right size. There is an exterior patio like vibe but it's open and facing the street so lack of privacy.

    We chose Maya for brunch as the first stop went to was super crowded. We didn't need reservations the weather was nice and we were seated right away in their patio. They have DJ and the music is extremely loud in the main dining area. We ordered the chargrilled oysters which were done with a red sauce which I found a lil spicy. We both ordered the lamb and scrambled eggs which were both good. We both had a mimosa. The music outside seemed not as loud and it was a very good play list. We both enjoyed our experience and we both enjoyed and would recommend to visit.

    I came to support my friend jasmine !! The place is beautiful . It gives 29 and up and that's great . Service was great . Food was 6/10 . That appetizer wasn't all that great . The chicken was good . The fries were cool should've been cooked a little longer . But it was nice . I can see my self coming back to try some regular food . I just stopped by to support .

    I dined in for an afternoon dinner with a friend. Upon arriving for our 4:30 Saturday reservation, we were very surprised that there we no cars in the parking lot. We ended up being the only two to eat for the duration of the three hours we were there. We ordered the Love 66 hookah, which was very smooth and priced decently. For our drinks, we ordered the Spicy Peach Margarita and Santana, both were really good and a decent size. As entrees, we chose the Creamy Cajun Pasta with shrimp and truffle fries, we were both pleasantly surprised at how seasoned it was and the portion size. The only reason I don't give this a full 5 is that we were not made aware that gratuity was already included on our tab of 2. We ended up tipping an additional 18% a piece, which felt deceptive as we already tipped 20% of the tab unknowingly. A DJ did come in around 7:30 when we were leaving. The ambiance is nice overall, I would eat here again.

    Afrobeats night didn't disappoint. I sat at the bar per usual party of 1 and made new friends. The food and the vibe and the service were amazing! Maybe I'll come try brunch or taco Tuesday next.

    One thing about Houston, they have the best brunch spots. It was Sunday fun day and we were searching all over for a nice chill brunch. As I was on TikTok, I saw great reviews about Maya Lounge, so we headed over. One thing I love about Maya Lounge is you don't need a reservation, you don't have to reserve a section, nor buy bottles just to have brunch like most brunch spots. We came in right as they opened. We were seated immediately and had the best service. When you walk into Maya Lounge it feels like you're in an enchanted place with the decor. The food here was amazing especially their fried chicken and waffles. The chicken breast with fried to perfection and it paired well with the soft waffle and syrup. Let's not forget about the mimosa flight; four different flavors that were all great. If you're looking for a chill spot with great food and great vibes, definitely head over to Maya Lounge.

    We made reservations for a late night dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant is nice, but smaller than it appears in the promotional videos. The ambiance is really almost like a lounge and there is a live DJ. We had a pretty large section reserved, but it took along time before someone came to us. Once our waiter came over she was really great and very attentive! We ordered a lot of appetizers and some drinks. I tried the Santana Margarita! It was very good and I would have ordered another if we didn't order shots. The food was okay, more like bar food than upscale restaurant style. I tried the boudin balls, southwest egg rolls, and the coconut shrimp. Everything was okay taste wise. The coconut shrimp was good, but fried too hard. Overall, it's a great pregame spot, but i won't go here expecting 5 star service or food. Go have a cocktail and an appetizer before your night on the town!

    The ambience is nice. It's a very cute lounge. The DJ was great, but the music was very loud hard to have a conversation with people that are sitting at the same table with you. The waitress that served us made a lot of mistakes. There was a miscommunication in the drinks, and she told us that she was not able to send it back to the bar even though the miscommunication was on her end. She forgot to bring out some dishes which we ended up canceling, because the rest of the food had already arrived and been eaten. And she wasn't very attentive to us. The food was OK. My salmon came out not very hot. It was a bit overcooked for me as well, but the flavor was all there.

    The next adventure lead to Maya lounge for brunch. After a few reviews it was picked as the best option & boy was I right. A nice 20 minute ride from the hotel allowed us to walk in literally before it started getting crowded. It's located in a little strip mall so the parking wasn't an issue. The set-up is nice with the option of indoor or outdoor depending on your preference. The bartender was excellent & made the perfect blend of liquor in all her mixed drinks. i went with the Belgian waffle & 2 lobster tails. While I waited I grabbed a hookah for $30. It's tons of TV's in there so you get to chill without missing any sports action. The food came out pretty quick which had me impressed given the crowd that had come. The picture doesn't do the meal any justice. The lobster tails were delicious & the Belgian waffle was made to perfection. Plus the hookah guy was on point constantly making sure the coals were fresh without me having to call him that's a major plus in my book. Maya Lounge was definitely one of the hidden gems in Houston

    Chicken and waffles!

    Maya Lounge is a hidden gem! I was in town celebrating my sister's birthday and stumbled across their instagram page and we had to check it out. This lounge is very intimate and exudes good vibes. I ordered the chicken and waffles and was very impressed with how fast the food came and the flavor, chefs kiss** Overall, this was an incredible experience. The food, service, and ambiance were all top-notch. I will be back!

    UPDATE: The manager admitted to an "error" but stop responding after I asked for a resolution. Had to contact my bank to receive my money back and never received a response.

I had never even heard of a Martinez but I was open to trying it. He made it, looked at it, and said it didn't come out right. He asked if it would be okay for him to redo it which I of course obliged. I appreciated the fact that he didn't serve me a drink that wasn't properly made. The wait was worth it. The Martinez tasted like a sweeter Negroni and I really enjoyed it! I'm glad I was able to visit one of the oldest bars in Houston.

Atmosphere is casual, service…read moreis friendly, the vibe is definitely Viking (and from what I have heard, it's really popping during brunch!). We came on. Friday after work during happy hour and the prices could not be beat, especially with their lobster bites (was sitting at about $30, and we got them half off!) Drinks were fantastic! I selected the "Golden Cadillac" that comes with a miniature bottle of Grand Marnier inside of it. Very good. My company decided on an array of appetizers for his "main course", while I went with their Fried Salmon (served with Mac and cheese, and collard greens). Omg! So tasty! The pepper was prevalent throughout, but it did not over power the flavor! I make collard greens at home (and learned from one of the best), and even I found theirs to be pretty good! My company selected fried ribs, along with the lobster bites, and crawfish queso dip, and their wings! I tasted what he got, and we both agreed that the wings were "off the chart" delicious with a beautiful straight off the grill smoky flavor! So good that he got another order to go! Lol. What made our experience there amazing was our server Ray (Rajean = think "the 90's TV Show "Living Single"..."smooches"!)...she was the best!! From her hello, to walking us through the menu (as first-timers), her recommendations, her energy, her smile, and her being very relatable. Loved her! My only gripe was the bathrooms, the ladies room needed attention (and could use a spruce all around). It doesn't help that it is a bit small, but yeah, they need to focus some efforts on ensuring it's upkeep. As for seating and parking, there is a bar area and limited seating toward the front of the restaurant, but it does extend to back of the house with additional seating. There is also patio seating as well. Because this place seems popular, it is best to reserve ahead to ensure your seating. Parking is very limited! They do however, offer valet (but at $20+). There is off-street parking, but be careful since this is a residential area and nothing is secure. All in all, I really had a great time and left with my belly full! Definitely worth checking out! What was lost is now found! Enjoy!

This night I went with one of my close sorority sisters and ended up smoking hookah with her. This location was dark and very easy on the eyes. It showcased a heavy middle eastern influence since hookah is heavy there. The variety of options are given in a menu style and allow you to pick whatever fits your needs at the time. You are also able to freely smoke as long as you would like with the occasional waiter coming to replace the coals on your hookah. They also hire their DJs every night, so the music can change and control the mood depending on what is played. The do played a variety of music from hip hop to r&b and pop, there was no shortage on the tunes just know that they will change. The downside of this place is the smoke, if you're asthmatic or have trouble seeing this place might pose a couple of risk to you. You might have trouble breathing or being able to see the ground as you walk into the puff clouds of other patrons. There is also a mixture of patrons, some there to enjoy themselves and others to have parties and fun, if you're set on a flat consistent vibe then this may not be a place, there was someone on a couch enjoying their entire life while we were there, luckily we didn't care how they did anything it didn't interfere with us. Risk was also a major thing to be mindful of, the coals can be extremely hot and give damaging burns, people can also get sick from the hookah so be careful of the health risk and also use caution around the hookah to avoid coals!

I'm just not ok with a dj who is being paid by the owner, telling folks or allowing the MC to tell folks in order to request a song, you gotta pay. If I chose to tip him, so be it, but being forced ain't cool. My biggest complaint was the price of everything. Now I'm a country chick and realize that prices are more expensive in the city. I was approached by the manager and I told her I needed a set up. She asked me what chasers I wanted and I said water and coke. I was charged separately for the water and coke that was supposed to be included in my set up.... so all together for a set up and a hookah, I paid over $60. I've never paid, IN HOUSTON, more than $10 for a set up and $35 for a hookah. Then they have small 4 oz paper cups to get the ice out with. After all this she attempted to charge me a bottle fee for each bottle I brought in. I sincerely think the young lady wasn't sure about what she was doing. Again she maintained her professionalism but she looked overwhelmed. Let's move on to those hookahs, the flavor lasted maybe 10-15 minutes and then the other lady who was helping refresh the coals was firmly pressing them down on the foil. I called her to the side and advised her that she was going to burn the shisha like that and sure enough my next puff was nothing but burnt shisha. They did replace it for free so I can't say much about that but overall....... The employees need training, I think they were overwhelmed and I think y'all were understaffed to serve the amount of people that accompanied this party...
