The Maya is hands down my favourite restaurant in Perth. I have been there many times, with many different groups of people, and everyone has enjoyed the food immensely. I don’t think I have seen a single plate with food left on it after a meal at the Maya.
The Maya is found right at the beginning of the cappucino street in Fremantle at the end of Market Street. It is beautifully decorated, with my favourite area downstairs in the booths, and a great function area upstairs which is fun if you are dining in a larger group.
We always start with a tasting plate - which has some lamb kafta and the most delicious deep fried eggplant in a dark, sesame sauce. Love it.
After that we always get about 2 curries between 3. We never miss the butter chicken - Matt Milner’s personal favourite, and an absolute winner. The sauce is rich and buttery, the chicken perfectly delicate and falling apart in your mouth. We always make sure we get extra naan (I like plain, but the boys love the garlic) to mop up all the delicious sauces at the end.
The best thing about Maya is that when they rate a dish as ‘hot’ they are not kidding. There is nothing worse than being all amped for a spicy indian meal and getting mild, medium at best. The _ at the Maya is hot and goes down nicely with some raita (a yoghurt dip mixed with cucumber and mint).
We have never had room to try the desserts at the Maya, but I am sure they will not disappoint. Please comment if you have tried them.
The prices are a little more at Maya, but I have never heard a complaint after the amazing dining experience. It usually costs us about $70-80 for two curries, an entree, rice and naan. Dishes start at around $16.
The Maya is so famous for its tandoori chicken that the Prince ordered and had the chicken flown over for the celebration of his birthday (hence the title).
It has won many awards, and a restaurant in Northbridge has even named itself after the Maya (Maya Masala), and as a consequence the Maya has a disclaimer in its menu that it has absolutely no association with the Northbridge rip-off.
A great night out, not to be missed, will definitely be back.
