Cringing, craving, bingeing, braving... you always have an opinion on what's hot and what's not in your city and we just love to hear it. Besides, there's no better place to satiate that itch to bitch!
Only God can explain the number of people that flock this restaurant as if there is no other decent place around. My father is one among the crowd, and sometimes without any other option I tag along. They have singlehandedly spoilt the MTR Rava idly eating experience for me which was something that I used to treasure from childhood. I think the chef here has won a lifetime supply of asafoetida which he so generously empties into the sagu. You can actually taste the South Indian cook's influence on the North Indian dishes.

The South Indian full meals are simply awesome. MTR finally has a worthy competitor. Bad North Indian and Gujarati are to be expected (though not excused). The 5 star is for the awesome South Indian only.
This was my 5th or 6th visit and believe me it has been consistently awful, be it south Indian stuff loaded with excessive salt, the north Indian gravies without any aroma or taste but only some tomato base. Their variety of sweets (have almost bought all the stuff they have just to evaluate the taste and quality) everything is either mediocre or below average in taste and quality, the hard type of mysorepak felt like loaded with vanaspati (Transfats) most of them taste like more of maida (refinedflour) less of khoa in milk based types and other types have a cross odor of some other fried food... read more
Couple of months back decided to head for a South Indian dinner with family. Checked with friends and settled on Maiya's. Fore warning : Book before you head out there, was my friends advice and duly so did a booking for a Friday evening and ended there at a late 7ish. Saw a huge pile up of crowd, I was left wondering if I could even secure a place. Finally my review after my experience at Maiya's.
Ambience : Just as any South Indian restaurant ,bright , tables well laid out and perfect for an eating experience. Rating : 3 on 5
