Their curries are delicious and their Naan bread is soft. I like to order their thali as you can taste a huge range of veggies. It is sort of like a buffet for an individual. I especially love the accompaniments like raita and sweet they give with it. They also sell a small collection of Indian grocery items. Not exactly in a food court, but on the same floor, it is located outside Coles near the fresh food and vegetable market.

Normally, I don't go for Indian in shopping centres, lukewarm butter chicken or chicken tikka…read moremasala on a bed of soggy rice with a side of tasteless naan bread doesn't excite me. However this place caught my eye when in Parramatta recently, the diners were mainly Indian, always a good sign for an Indian eatery. Plus, the menu had very little of the usual Indian takeaway stuff, and loads of dishes i'd never heard of before, including some Indian Chinese dishes. I was intrigued, so decided to order a vegetarian thali (several small portions of different dishes), as well as a naan. The naan was amazing, better than most places i've tried, and the various vegetarian curries in my thali were all pretty decent too, again light years ahead of most Indian places i've tried. Since they cater more to Indian palates than Australian ones the curries are spicier and more flavoursome, which is a good or a bad thing depending on your tastebuds, I personally think it's a good thing. As has been said before they also stock a selection of Indian groceries, can't really comment on these though as I didn't buy any. Taj Indian Masala is located in Westfield Parramatta, on the 5th floor near Coles. They also have outlets in Homebush, Harris Park and Mount Druitt.

If you are coming by Train from Granville station take the Bridge Street exit and look for Good…read moreStreet just in the middle. This restaurant is just on the right hand side of Good Street. Please do not mistaken this with Himalaya Palace which is just across the road. The buffet table is located in separate room. Please mind your step as you enter or exit this room. To the left you will find salad, dessert and some sauce. One of them is definitely Raita sauce for your Biryani. For their non-veg options, I would recommend their Lahori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Tandoori Chicken and Lahori Fried Fish. I am not a big fan of Lamb dish but the Lamb Madras is yummy enough for me to come back for seconds. From the veg trays I recommend Paneer Tikka Masala, Palak (I was told there is no Paneer) and I think the other two are called Malai Kofta and Daal Makni. If you come here for the carb would suggest take the Biryani and Garlic Naan. Skip everything else to avoid disappointment. Please ensure you leave enough room for two serving of their dessert. This is what makes your dining experience memorable.The name of the dessert is (pardon the spelling) Pista Falooda which is pinkish noodle similar to Indo/Malay cendol with Pistachio Ice cream. You can definitely taste the crunchy Pistachio nuts in it. I would recommend you to start your dinner here before 6 PM to get better service.

My hubby enjoyed his chicken korma but would have liked it spicier. We shared a side of basmati rice. We definitely could have shared one portion of chicken entree. The Mango Lassi was delish and hit the spot!

You can see the cooking being done on the BBQ. It is a flued area behind glass. It is pretty noisy with conversations and kids but if you are only there to eat..no problems. The soccer was on the TV and there were two TVs on either side of the restaurant. Only one thing struck me as odd. The voucher advertised that there was free corkage but when we got there we were told that they had lost, not renewed or maybe never had a liquor licence. The service was interesting as it was self serve to the fridge with the cans of drinks. I did see jugs of soft drinks being prepared with half a jug of ice covered with non refrigerated soft drink. I am glad we stuck with the cans. It was pretty busy but there seemed to be plenty of staff and we did not have to wait long between ordering and getting our food, which came out all together. We were asked a couple of times during the meal if all was OK, which it was. There was a coffee machine there but I did not see anyone use it and that is my rule of thumb. If the machine isn't being used regularly, I don't want to have the first cup. There doesn't seem to be much in the way for dessert but if you wander down the road there is an Abla for pastry and coffee.

Food came promptly when I went as a party of two, so maybe they're just not there yet with handling larger orders. Meat skewers mixed plate with marinated chicken, lamb and kafte (minced lamb), meat sambousek, garlic sauce, were juicy and tasty. Vegetarian plates available, with cheese sambousek, haloumi, cauliflower, felafel, tahini. Both meat and veggie plates come with fattoush or tabouli, babaganoush and hummus. Both fattoush and tabouli were fresh and tasty, the hummus is a little weak (not strong enough on chickpea flavour) but the babaganoush was nice and smoky. Lamb shawarma with onion, mixed herbs, garlic, diced tomato, tangy sauce was also very tender and tasty. Felafel were green and fresh tasting. Kibbe nayeh (raw blended lamb mince with herbs, spices, bulgur and olive oil) had great flavour and was very fresh, if you want to try this Lebanese version of the better known French beef tartare, this is a good place to try it. Just tear off Lebanese bread, grab a bite and pop in your mouth (you don't mix in the tomato etc on the side).

We constantly were just trying to get through each dish ordered, hoping it'd improve but the taste, quality, and texture - something was always off. The meat also smelled funny. Besan Fritters were rubber in texture with balsamic type cream sauce. Pork Curry spice was extreme and the water could not come fast enough. This had dish the most weird meat smell. The Beef Dosa tasted more like a sunscreen quesadilla. Poorly described but that was the meal in a nutshell for us. Great aesthetic and staff was semi attentive - although a reservation, there was no one at the host stand for 5min+ nor no one seated in the front section of the restaurant so awkwardly stood until the bartender finally gave in to ask if we needed help. Overall, wouldn't recommend. Especially in group settings where food would be shared since the menu incorporates a lot of different flavors/textures into one dish - not all would be inclined.

The menu has a good variety, though the dishes felt more comforting than standout. A solid option if you're nearby, but not necessarily a place you'd go out of your way for. Food: The curries had good flavor and spice levels, but were a little oil-heavy for my preference. Portions were fair, and the dishes came out fairly quickly. Some items stood out more than others, but overall the food was enjoyable without being particularly memorable. Service: Service was efficient despite the busy crowd. Staff were polite and managed the small space well, though at peak hours it can feel a bit rushed because of how packed the restaurant gets. Ambience: The restaurant has a traditional Indian theme with old Maharaja portraits and classic décor elements throughout. The space is on the smaller side, and the décor can feel a bit overcrowded, making it slightly cramped during busy times. Still, it has a lively atmosphere that fits the tourist-heavy Circular Quay area.

This place has become my new favourite Indian restaurant. I'm writing this review after visiting…read moreMaya Da Dhaba many times. I'm reluctant to go to restaurants that have long queues outside mainly because I hate waiting, but on a positive side it must mean that the cuisine inside is fabulously delicious. My advise is always make a booking for this place as it is very popular, especially at the weekends. I like this restaurant because of its consistent high standard of food, its taste and the friendly wait staff that will always make your dining experience a pleasure. While this place isn't at the top of the 'high end' Indian restaurants in Sydney, it certainly makes up for it by the quality and quantity of the food portions and most importantly the price. no wonder it can pride itself on being awarded the DIMMI People's Choice Award for 2016! The menu is full of vegetarian and non vegetarian choices. I have been slowly making my way through the menu and for this review I will list my favourite dishes/ menu items. On arrival you are offered water and a complimentary serve of Pappadums and yogurt mint sauce and another darker sauce that is tasty. A drink from the well stocked bar is also available however we brought our own bottles of wine. Corkage is $2.50 per person. For entree you cannot beat the Maya Da Dhaba Entree Platter for two ($22.90) consisting of Adraki Lamb Chops, Chicken Malai Tikka, Fish Tikka and Vegetable Samosa. If you need to make it for more people, this can be easily arranged through the wait staff. The Adraki Lamb Chops are my favourite,as they are marinated overnight with Kashmiri spices, garlic and ginger-skewered and then grilled in tandoor oven. Another favourite is the very tender Chicken Malai Tikka fillets marinated with cardamom, mace, cream, cheese, white pepper, garlic, black salt and then char-grilled in the tandoor. There are two main dishes that I can highly recommend from the specialities menu. They are: * Kadai Chicken which is cooked with capsicum, onions and tomatoes and finished with fresh coriander. ($16.90) * Chicken Jalfrezi - succulent chicken pieces cooked with tomatoes, onion and mixed vegetables and finished with lemon juice. A mild fragrant dish not to be missed! ($16.90) * Chicken Chettinad - boneless chicken fillets cooked in south Indian style with a touch of coconut cream, mustard seeds and curry leaves. ($16.90) Also everyone's favourite Butter Chicken is very popular choice. The chicken is cooked in a rich creamy, tomato based sauce with fragrant spices and finished with a drizzle of cream. ($16.90) Meat dishes - I love the Lamb Saagwala - the most tender lamb pieces cooked with fresh English spinach, fenugreek, onion and garlic. ($17.90) The restaurant offers a variety of Biryani Rice choices. I often go for the Kashmiri Pulao ($8.90) or the plain Pulao ($2.90) Add some tasty Naan breads or Roti to your meal and you have an Indian banquet that will have you satisfied and talking about its goodness until you visit again. I was treated by Navjit (the restaurant manager) to a taste of the Gulab Jamun. It was freshly made and so irresistibly sweet! This syrupy dessert is a must have if you have room for more! Thank you Navjit, Saini and Gary for looking after us every time we dine at your restaurant. See you again very soon!
