Amaya is a delicious surprise. Excellent atmosphere, contemporary looking bar/lounge area Recently brought my son, who has never had Indian cuisine, but always want to try some at a quality restaurant to get the unique favor, he was a commercial cook himself at one time. He was delicious surprised. He had an excellent dinner and wants to return soon again.... More

My first taste of the Indian food buffet was very pleasurable. The food was light and fragrant, and seemed to have some influences from outside of India (Afghanistan?). The buffet mixed authentic Indian cuisine with American salads and starters, which neatly matched the eclectic feeling of the room. This is, after all, Amaya Bar and Grill, not "Amaya Authentic Indian... More

I have never been a huge fan of Indian food because, in my experience, it has been mushy, colorless, and generally disappointing. I found out about Amaya from a friend an I am now a happy loyal diner! Amaya's food appeals to modern tastes while offering traditional appeal. We have been to the restaurant well over 10 times and each... More

What a nice and pleasant surprise. My wife and I along with 3 other couples went to Amaya for dinner, out of the 8 only 3 have ever had Indian food before. Upon arrival, the staff was very welcoming, the restaurant was nice and presentable. The wait staff understood our lack of knowledge of Indian food and was very helpful... More

I came him with my wife and two daughters hoping your place would change my misconception of Indian food. We came at a time when there were four, maybe five huge parties that came at once. I understand the food service and how easily things can get backed up. And backed up they did. If it weren't for our server,... More

We went to Amaya because we had a restaurants.com coupon. What a nice surprise. Tucked in the corner of Loehmann's Plaza in Brighton you could easily miss it. (It's beside the Post Office) We not only had great and interesting food but found a friendly atmosphere that made the whole experience more enjoyable. Our server, Laura, was just great, friendly...

This is my second time to Amaya...and will continue to come back again and again. It is a hidden gem in the Loehman's Plaza in Brighton and very nice atmosphere with friendly staff and owners who are very interested that you enjoyed your experience. The cocktails are great and they have Wine Wednesday that we will be trying to either... More
