Extremely humiliating and very cheap to their customers; I asked the manager there what the biggest and most filling combo that comes with the most amount of.meat and she directed me to get the meat platter...then she puts the rice and passes the plate to her colleague I couldn't.believe that she was filling the plate with curry sauce literally and 2 or 3 tiny slim pieces of meat for.a $20 dollar plate. Very disgusting business tactics ..after I stood there for 10 mins waiting for.my.plate it was such an embarrassing and humiliating experience and I will never be back ....keep in mind I am a regular

After a couple of hours at the end of a long day I was famished. After a look at the various options in the food court we settled on this spot. Keeping our expectations low especially for a food court restaurant we were pleasantly surprised with our butter chicken and naan bread. It was flavourful and the buttery garlic naan bread was fluffy and delicious.

I rarely post, and don't usually complain. If I can give no start option, I would give that. Before, I went twice. despite of less options, get little for more price, customer service was good. 2 times there were girls who served well. But this time, when I was asking the person, I think he didn't listen what I have requested for. It's just a misunderstanding. But I didn't have much time. And I understood either he didn't listen or I might not explained properly. So I mentioned "its not what I wanted to order. But its okay, I will take it". He tried to explain me that is the thing I ordered. I

This place has really bad quality and poor customer service. I got a piece of food label in my madras gravy and because I have been frequent for a couple weeks, I gave them a benefit of doubt.
The next time I went there, their chicken was semi cooked, pink and chewy. This place has very poor food hygiene and food safety. Please be very careful before you dine here.

From an Indian Canadian - The food at Amaya is fair from authentic India food or even decent ....The food has no flavour, they mix peas in all dishes thus, having to provide less meat - if you are having a non vegetarian dish, food is usually served lightly warm, there portions aren't the most value for the buck at the Eaton Centre. I eat there simply because there is no other Indian restaurant in the area. Strongly don't recommend!

I'm a big fan of Indian food, so when I was looking for a quick bite at the Eaton Centre I figured Amaya Express would be a reasonable option. I'm not going to bury the place for being overpriced, because it was my decision to come here, but $23 for naan, chicken curry, and a sprite is a tad much when you consider you are in a mall food court. Moving on, the food was decent. The chicken curry tasted pretty much how you would expect it to taste (it's like when you get mall Chinese or Thai, it tastes like it's from a mall) and this is no different. It's obviously not completely

Ordered the chicken tikka masala curry with rice and a mango lassi. The curry itself tasted ok but the white meat chunks were quite dry and overcooked. However, I loved their mango lassi. Next time I'm in the Eaton Centre food court, I'll get my food somewhere else but I'm coming here for the mango lassi.

I have gone to Amaya for many years now. The express locations to me are a big disappointment.
Their flagship restaurant was known for being an upscale place that served some of the best Indian food that I have ever eaten, and with all of the different Indian places that I eat at, that says a lot.
The express locations are budget fast food, and the food is substandard to what I am used to.
The chicken is frequently overcooked, the other dishes are often unrecognizable in taste but look like Indian food.
They do offer some gluten free options which are good, and I don't have a lot of

Upon looking at the counter with lots of variety, it was hard to choose one. They all looked so good!
I chose the lime Malasa mutton (I think this was it) on the yellow rice, regular salad with a bright green dressing.
Was not very tasty... I didn't like a single part of the meal. The curry lacked flavour. Very, very mild and didn't taste like an authentic Indian curry at all. The rice was the same. Very plain, but for rice I guess that's okay.
The salad was fresh. I choose the bright green dressing because it was new. I believe it's a type of coconut chutney that usually

Amaya Express is seriously good. Especially when you consider the fact that it's in a food court!! It's actually better Indian food than I've had in some fancy restaurants.
They have a deal where you can get two meat curries and a veggie one with rice and naan for $13.99. It's a good amount for 2 people to share.

This place is in a food court so I wasn't expecting greatness. The service is brief but somehow managed to be dismal. I realize people don't want to be working in a food court but at least speak clearly instead of mumbling so we don't have to keep asking you to repeat things.
As for the food, the rice was on the dry side. Thankfully you get plenty of sauce with the butter chicken to make it palatable. It's mildly spicy and sweet, and the chicken is a bit overdone since it stays in the pot until it's all sold. The chickpeas were good and nothing stood out about them, for

Huge fan of Indian food. My friend and I were craving some so we had to stop by here. They have a lot of he authentic dishes.
We opted for the vegetable paneer and butter chicken with chick peas over rice. Everything was delicious. You get plenty of cheese in the paneer. Chicken was really moist and tender. The garlic naan was very large in portion wished it came with a sauce to dip in.
There are so many food options in this mall. Food quality and value here is great. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area

Went here with my brother to grab a bite to eat on Boxing Day--needless to say, the food court was a total zoo!
Despite that, we braved the line and got lamb vindaloo bowls with chana masala. The meal itself had some good flavor. It was pretty spicy though, and that's coming from someone who can handle a little bit of spice. Nevertheless, I don't understand the super low ratings, as the food has good flavor and portions were decent.

I was jonesing for some Indian food on my last trip to Toronto. I know there is a high concentrating of Indian people in Toronto/Southern Ontario, and all that was needed was to follow my nose to their outrageously scented but delicious cuisine. A food court wasn't the idea I had when I pictured stuffing my face with Indian food, but what a food court they have in the Eaton Center!
I had some kind of a spicy chicken curry with chick peas and yellow rice. It was all very good, but the garlic butter naan was the best part. You need to buy the naan bread separate, but you won't be disappointed

The butter chicken is my favorite curry/sauce (but the chicken itself is a bit dry)
The naan bread is amazing!! It's freshly made in that stone oven thing (not a heated up naan bread from the toaster) I love the garlic naan, they also have plain and butter naan.
And it also comes with salad or chick peas, seems healthy :)
I have tried the other curries but they are not as memorable, stick to the butter chicken, yum!
The homemade mango drink at the counter where you pay, grab one! Worth it! Goes perfect with the curries.
