Best for pocket friendly & tasty Vegetarian Indian food at Surry Hills. The Punjabi Thali is a great option for a hearty meal.

It's been renamed as Maya Masala. Delighted to have a pure veg restaurant in Sydney. It's been my first time and it was pretty decent experience. Liked the mango lassi considering I am picky about the taste of Mango Lassi the world over. The quantity served was very good. We ordered Punjabi thali and it was filling. 4 curries, 2 rotis (one of them buttered), a sweet, raita, papad, pickle & pulav. Pics attached. Overall a good place to treat family &/ friends. The only 1 thing I would have expected is staff asking us if we need any help as it was a first time & we expected them to seat us whereas you need to order your food first before you sit anywhere. We ended up standing for 5 min and then we ourselves had to approach the counter.
You can ask for vegan options, staff is well aware about it. They just may forget to adjust one of multiple ordered meals and add cow cottage cheese in it. Half of sauces are quite spicy. But in general its a good place.
We’ve dined here for the past ten years and the place has gone through a lot of changes - we’ve seen the restaurant change it’s decor, its dishes, and it has consistently improved. I really admire that about Maya’s - it never stops growing. It’s a wonderful place to eat some yummy vegetarian comfort food, without it being drenched in oil or too spicy (I’m allowed to say this, I am Indian hah) and it even has a lovely sweets counter with a lot of variety. The facilities are always clean and inviting. If anything, I just wish sometimes that the sweets were a bit fresher, but this is a minor thing compared to the rest of its positive aspects. Thanks for offering Surry hills pure veg food with consistently good quality!
