I was visiting Burlington for the 1st time this past Sunday and after a good walk along the waterfront I worked up quite an appetite. I was in the mood for some Indian food and noticed this restaurant while walking up Brant Street. Upon entering I was graciously greeted by the hostess/ owner and was served by Prince. Not being entirely familiar with Indian cuisine I sought his suggestions and ordered some butter chicken, basmati rice and Naan. Service was prompt and well presented and I was delighted that portion size was to my liking. The food was delicious, fresh and savory. I found my self quickly satisfied and asked the waiter to please pack the remaining food in containers. He graciously did so and I had a delicious lunch the next day. I enjoyed the ambience and everything was very clean I certainly plan to visit again.

We’ve been to Amaya Express in Burlington on Brant street many times and have even had it delivered to our home a handful of times. The restaurant is comfortable and service is very good. We always order the same dishes so I can speak about their naan, butter chicken and white rice but when we’ve gone with friends they order other items and have always said their food was tasty. Their butter chicken isn’t too spicy and that’s perfectly fine with me. We’ve been there for lunch and dinner. Lunch has an excellent lunch butter chicken and rice combo special so it’s slightly cheaper but our dinner is usually reasonable even with a glass of red wine. We will definitely go back to the restaurant and will likely order in too when we are feeling lazy. I highly recommend the restaurant. We’ve never needed a reservation and can get a table on a weekend night.

As things open up, and after reading a bad review, I had to go back to Amaya to taste for myself. I had only been once before, and loved it, years ago. I chatted with Leena, our hostess and server, and the restaurant had changed hands in 2019. The food may not be the same as previously, but my friend and I enjoyed our lunch (and thanks to large portion size, our suppers) very much. I had the chicken biryani with plain naan, and my friend had the vegetarian biryani with the garlic naan, which looked amazing. Sadly, I’m off butter :( I love that raita was included in this order. I would caution, that, if you can’t do spicy, go for mild. I was back and forth, and Leena suggested medium, which was fine, thanks to the naan and raita, but was a little too spicy for my tender buds. At home, hubby loved it! We will return, hopefully with more friends so we can order a variety of dishes.

After several years of dependably excellent food, Amaya radically changed their recipes - definitely for the worse. We'll never eat there again. We thought we knew Amaya Express Brant St very well after enjoying 50+ excellent meals in a row over 6 years. But that all changed abruptly after our last takeout. All of our favourite recipes had changed from excellent to awful. The spinach sauce we loved had gone from green to brown, and tasted completely different. All the mild sauces we liked were suddenly extra spicy. Even the simple pakoras were much too salty to eat. Unbelievable. Instead of trading favours for the last spoonful of sauce, we dumped most of the meal into the green bin. And felt sad about the passing of a beautiful thing.

I tried Amaya express which I believe is a chain. There were more people working in the kitchen than eating in the restaurant. I had chicken vindaloo(my go to) it was amazing,very fresh and flavourful. Great onion baja(sp) and nan. Rice is rice. Nice clean place,great service. I will return Parking not so easy.

Fresh ingredients. Rich in flavors, but not so heavy you need to nap afterwards. The eggplant is my favourite. The lamb melts in your mouth. The bel puri is a fantastic new addition that is savoury, bright and has a nice hit of chile. Make sure you order enough to take home leftovers! Friendly staff. Clean and COVID-conscious service.

Went in for a date night dinner on the first day of restaurants reopening (Feb 1st) had a great time! Granted we were the only 2 there, service was quick, wait staff didn’t linger and checked in every so on, the food was great, the dinning space was clean and I’d definitely recommend it.

Grabbed lunch with a friend at this lovely restaurant. I’ve never eaten at an Indian Cuisine Restaurant and this was an amazing surprise! So much food with so much flavour! Spiced just right for a medium level heat! I suggest sharing different meals with friends so you can sample more! Will definitely go again!

We visited as a family on the weekend - did make a reservation in advance, considering COVID. The food was fantastic! The staff was great, and all of the dishes that we had were great. Had plenty for leftovers too. We will definitely return for more!

Best Saag paneer I have ever had. Always consistent food. We usually do takeout from here and we live in a different city. Check it out you won't be disappointed.

Just a quick review to agree with all the other excellent reviews. Doesn't look like much from the street, you would probably just walk right by. You should stop and go in. This is some of the better food in Burlington I can see why is is rated so high. Very fresh and full of flavour. No Idea what we had, just listened to the server and let him recommend what was good and popular. Great way to eat. Everything was wonderful definitely would go back Parking in the back.
