Amaya 1701 Bayview Ave. 416 322 3270 Amaya is a high end superb Indian food restaurant. My family loves this spicy aromatic food. We decided to meet during Winterlicious to enjoy a 3 course meal for $25.00. What fantastic value! The decor is attractive and upscale. The service was outstanding. We enjoyed every morsel. We had such a good time that we didn’t notice the long line waiting to be seated at a table. We do apologize to them. The Pakoras were crispy and flavorful. Two rather large pieces were a great appetizer. The two sauces were outstanding. My son opted for the Tilapia Fish Appetizer. Two large portions were crispy and served with a delectable sauce. The Butter Chicken was wonderful. My Vegetable Curry was filled with tasty vegetables prepared in a wondrous curry. The Large Shrimp were giant size and a perfect dish. We also enjoyed our desserts. The Marshmallow Ice Cream was so delicious. I enjoyed the Carrot Toffee Pudding topped with ice cream. During the week express lunch combos are recommended.
