Service: liked our server, she was very personable. Fairly attentive until it got a lil more packed. Parking lot of their own, aesthetically pleasing inside with size friendly seating. Food was good. Love the southwest eggrolls. Jollof rice was not like any I've had before, it was just rice and some smoky flavor. Wings were decent, loved the taste of the ranch & they ain't skimpy on the napkins, love that. Music bingo isn't exactly like the bingo I've done. This was regular bingo, they just had good music playing. I don't really think that they need an MC, as they kept telling us to look at the screen for the numbers. The prizes are good though. Also, they are $15 a piece for three squares and three games However, they charge two hidden fees (they don't tell you ahead of time) on the check, one is for 20% and the other is I believe 3%. Plus, the way that the drinks were advertised to us was not how they came on the bill. read more

They have a happy hour with $5 drinks and $5 hookah almost everyday. It's a chill spot with good food, the lamb chops are

This was a great place to go for a Saturday brunch. I thought they would have been packed but it was not. Me and my best friend walked in, we seated immediately and Trey got the drinks flowing. He made menu suggestions and had us served quickly. The establishment was clean and the decor was very cute!! read more

Overall a pleasant experience would recommend. Food is pretty good. The waffles are made with what it seems to be a light cinnamon spice batter which was really good. The chicken tenders were definitely juicy and perfectly cooked. The flights were the strong enough to have you feeling really good by time you're done. Service was good considering things got busy right after we placed our order. The music was just right and helped boost the ambiance. The interior isn't too big and not too small just the right size. There is an exterior patio like vibe but it's open and facing the street so lack of privacy. read more

We chose Maya for brunch as the first stop went to was super crowded. We didn't need reservations the weather was nice and we were seated right away in their patio. They have DJ and the music is extremely loud in the main dining area. We ordered the chargrilled oysters which were done with a red sauce which I found a lil spicy. We both ordered the lamb and scrambled eggs which were both good. We both had a mimosa. The music outside seemed not as loud and it was a very good play list. We both enjoyed our experience and we both enjoyed and would recommend to visit. read more

IF I COULD GIVE A BELOW ZERO THEY WOULD GET IT THIS WAS OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE HERE.First off do anyone know who the owner Steve the owner at maya lounge on Westheimer. We came out to celebrate my sister in law birthday here the server jonta was amazing food did have a good taste but for the price it's not worth it then the have false advertising on the website they had a appetizer for $5 for the boudin balls the mozzarella sticks etc then tried to charge use the regular price then the manager Debra kept telling us to refresh the page and the same menu with the $5 kept popping up. She was doing everything in her book not to honor what was online on a menu. The area we was sitting in smell like wet mold and mildew. But what made us stay was jonta due to her customer service was awesome. It was only 9 people in here they bought us cold food then forgot some of out food and it been 3 hrs and we still waiting I can go on and on but trust me we will not ever be back at this place. Then the manager go come back with a attitude and stayed and say I'm not go honor nothing now cause of the review that I wrote she is very unprofessional as a manager and then go follow us outside trying to fight then go pin her hair up she ain't bout shit as a manager she don't need to be a manager. U can really could have lost your life by running outside behing the customer trying to fight the manager name is Debra she had an attitude from moment we walked in the door. Upset everyone. Then the unprofessional manage Debra kept watching us and ear hustling in our conversation. Then go stated the owner ain'tgo care are do nothing. The manager Debra never apologized only the server she apologized all night the manager was rude with rolling her eyes from the moment we walked in the door. As a business manager how u go stay what your manager didn't do go watch your tape she was all outside pinning her hair up to fight. Everything on here is true that's why y'all don't have business now that attitude that a manager had is very unprofessional. read more

First and last time going! I'm big on customer service and it was horrible. There's a hostess booth with no hostess nor clear instructions on what to do. After standing there 2 mins, I asked a GUEST "do we seat ourselves" she said no...Party of 4 just standing at the door. No greeting, no type of acknowledgement "hi, welcome in, hi we will be with you guys in one sec ANYTHING. It was not busy so I don't understand. I'm not forcing anyone to take my money so we left! Yall received one stat by default... do better! read more

I dined in for an afternoon dinner with a friend. Upon arriving for our 4:30 Saturday reservation, we were very surprised that there we no cars in the parking lot. We ended up being the only two to eat for the duration of the three hours we were there. We ordered the Love 66 hookah, which was very smooth and priced decently. For our drinks, we ordered the Spicy Peach Margarita and Santana, both were really good and a decent size. As entrees, we chose the Creamy Cajun Pasta with shrimp and truffle fries, we were both pleasantly surprised at how seasoned it was and the portion size. The only reason I don't give this a full 5 is that we were not made aware that gratuity was already included on our tab of 2. We ended up tipping an additional 18% a piece, which felt deceptive as we already tipped 20% of the tab unknowingly. A DJ did come in around 7:30 when we were leaving. The ambiance is nice overall, I would eat here again. read more

One thing about Houston, they have the best brunch spots. It was Sunday fun day and we were searching all over for a nice chill brunch. As I was on TikTok, I saw great reviews about Maya Lounge, so we headed over. One thing I love about Maya Lounge is you don't need a reservation, you don't have to reserve a section, nor buy bottles just to have brunch like most brunch spots. We came in right as they opened. We were seated immediately and had the best service. When you walk into Maya Lounge it feels like you're in an enchanted place with the decor. The food here was amazing especially their fried chicken and waffles. The chicken breast with fried to perfection and it paired well with the soft waffle and syrup. Let's not forget about the mimosa flight; four different flavors that were all great. If you're looking for a chill spot with great food and great vibes, definitely head over to Maya Lounge. read more

We made reservations for a late night dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant is nice, but smaller than it appears in the promotional videos. The ambiance is really almost like a lounge and there is a live DJ. We had a pretty large section reserved, but it took along time before someone came to us. Once our waiter came over she was really great and very attentive! We ordered a lot of appetizers and some drinks. I tried the Santana Margarita! It was very good and I would have ordered another if we didn't order shots. The food was okay, more like bar food than upscale restaurant style. I tried the boudin balls, southwest egg rolls, and the coconut shrimp. Everything was okay taste wise. The coconut shrimp was good, but fried too hard. Overall, it's a great pregame spot, but i won't go here expecting 5 star service or food. Go have a cocktail and an appetizer before your night on the town! read more

The ambience is nice. It's a very cute lounge. The DJ was great, but the music was very loud hard to have a conversation with people that are sitting at the same table with you. The waitress that served us made a lot of mistakes. There was a miscommunication in the drinks, and she told us that she was not able to send it back to the bar even though the miscommunication was on her end. She forgot to bring out some dishes which we ended up canceling, because the rest of the food had already arrived and been eaten. And she wasn't very attentive to us. The food was OK. My salmon came out not very hot. It was a bit overcooked for me as well, but the flavor was all there. read more

The next adventure lead to Maya lounge for brunch. After a few reviews it was picked as the best option & boy was I right. A nice 20 minute ride from the hotel allowed us to walk in literally before it started getting crowded. It's located in a little strip mall so the parking wasn't an issue. The set-up is nice with the option of indoor or outdoor depending on your preference. The bartender was excellent & made the perfect blend of liquor in all her mixed drinks. i went with the Belgian waffle & 2 lobster tails. While I waited I grabbed a hookah for $30. It's tons of TV's in there so you get to chill without missing any sports action. The food came out pretty quick which had me impressed given the crowd that had come. The picture doesn't do the meal any justice. The lobster tails were delicious & the Belgian waffle was made to perfection. Plus the hookah guy was on point constantly making sure the coals were fresh without me having to call him that's a major plus in my book. Maya Lounge was definitely one of the hidden gems in Houston read more

I came here for a friends birthday, I actually really enjoyed the staff and food. I dont normally leave reviews lol but everyone was so attentive. The staff was so helpful from helping us set up, to bringing out the surprise cake! She loved every minute, great ambiance, good food, the music was not too loud - we were able to talk and dance comfortably. I personally had the cajun pasta, it was sooo good. The rest of my friends liked their plates as well. Coming back soon to give it another try. read more

Came on a Sunday to jam with the Choir Room (IYKYK). Can easily make reservations on OpenTable but please know there is a two hour limit to your reservation and they will keep to your limit. They wrote down our sit down time and what time we were to leave. Take that how you want Hookah- they have a great mix consisting of Love 66 & Blue Mist- get it if you're interested. Food - no complaints about what anybody ordered - from chicken wings to boudin balls, catfish basket, creamy cajun pasta with shrimp, and the lamb chops. Even though Maya is a bit small - I would definitely come back. Cute lil vibe with the girls or a date night. read more

Maya Lounge is a hidden gem! I was in town celebrating my sister's birthday and stumbled across their instagram page and we had to check it out. This lounge is very intimate and exudes good vibes.

The food, service, and ambiance were all top-notch. I will be back! read more

Let me start with what went right. The drink that I ordered tasted good. Absolutely delicious. Now we waited over 90 minutes for food, just for it to come out wrong. The server kept telling us for the last 45 min of the wait that our food was out next and we watched people who came in after us get their food. The manager finally came and seemed to understand she offered a round of shots which we took. She admitted that the server was new and never sent in our food order. Our food came out, it was completely wrong. I ordered their build your breakfast that was supposed to include medium lamb chops, grits, has browns and sausage. My friend also ordered lamb chops and the plates only came out with either grits or hash browns. I asked which is mine and the server said "I don't know, I just took it" ummm.....ok Then the manager said just enjoy your food. 20 min later the rest of our sides came out. Cold eggs, store bought cold waffles, soggy spinach. My lamb chops were over seasoned it's like they slapped walker jerk seasoning on it after it was cooked. It was overwhelming and inedible. Then the bill, they tried to charge me an extra $10 compared to my friend who ordered the same thing. First the waiter said it aaa becuase we had different drinks. Then the manager said it was because she discounted some food... my whole order was wrong.... That was another 15 min. Waiter never cleaned plates. Then they have the audacity to charge 20% gratuity.... read more

Maya Lounge is such a vibe! I was in town visiting my Houston hotties and we stopped by to see what the hype was. The ambiance and decor is super cute and intimate, definitely great for instagram worthy pics. The drinks, hookah, and food were all on point. It's rare to find an upscale lounge that provides great drinks, food, ambiance, and music but Maya Lounge did not disappoint. read more

I will definitely be back. The food was really good and staff had amazing customer service. Nice place to take pictures.

Don't waste your time people ... first off It took over a hour for our food to come out and then when the food came out it still didn't come together... my friend lamb chomps were over seasoned. The hashbrowns were soggy and the lemon drops came with whip cream on top. I never got my waffle it came 30 mins later with bacon which was cold by the way. Then our checks came and the manger couldn't explain why some of our bills were different totals even tho we ordered the same thing lol the place wasn't even crowed for it to be unorganized the way it is. The only good thing is the dj(music ). read more

I had the pleasure of visiting Maya Lounge for a birthday brunch. It is an unassuming, hidden gem. Once inside, I was pleasantly surprised by the tastefully decorated decor, nice ambiance and music selection. Our group ordered the Southwest Eggrolls, Fried Catfish and Shrimp basket, Lamb Chops and Salmon. All were delicious and seasoned perfectly. I was not pleased with the Mashed Potatoes. Too thick, not creamy, and the flavor was just okay. The French Fries were also good. The Sidecar was a hit. Loved it! We enjoyed the Lemon Drop as well. Justice was an excellent waitress. She was attentive, professional and took care of all of our needs. We also ordered a hookah and it was as expected. Will certainly visit again. read more

My first time here, and I absolutely loved the experience! The food, service, ambiance, and drinks were all fantastic... especially the drinks. And if you're visiting from out of town, the hookah is great too. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Made a 1:30 reservation. Was able to sit on time. The DJ is great and the vibes are good. Drinks are great. Ordered the champagne flight and the tequila flight. Those are recommended. For a table of 4, two seats will have a back and 2 will be sitting on an ottoman. Cute for the aesthetic but not so good for the back. For the entire spot, only 2 waitresses are working the floor. It is 2:36 and our food just arrived. Took 20 minutes to order and we ordered food and drinks at the same time. Ordered the catfish and grits. The sauce are perfection but the grits themself are undercooked. Severely. Asked for some more and they were still undercooked. Cook may just not know how or I'm too much from the south to accept what was served. They could bottle and sell this sauce though. Hate to complain about the food cause you know how that can go, but raw grits... Fish is seasoned to perfection. It was so good. On a better day this place is probably top tier. Today just wasn't it. And for an automatic 20% gratuity you got to do better than this. So for today I had to go with 3 stars, but with a few tweaks this could easily be a 5-star establishment. read more

Went on a Friday night with friends and we all had a great time! The vibes were good and the DJ played a diverse mixture of music all night. The drinks were on point and the food was delicious.

Maya Lounge - Lobster with pasta - Lounges Near Me - Houston, Texas

I will start with the positives. I appreciate that there is plenty of free parking. The check in was pretty easy. I met a birthday party and was allowed to sit at our table until the party arrived. I give them a 10/10 on service. The music was great too. I love an R&B sing along with a touch of bouncedatass (not too much though). Now for the opportunities it's super small inside and the ratio of women to men was like 20:1. This spot is more for women I counted a total of 3 men in the entire building. The rest of the patrons were women dressed in our best Instagram outfits. The tables are round which is pretty awkward for sitting with food. Oh there's hookah smh. If you've read any of my reviews I'm anti hookah but the people like what they like. We sat at 2 round tables in a booth that was seated for 15. Thankfully only half showed up because there's no way we would fit. This is ideal for a girls night out but there's no men soooo idk. The food was actually really good and came out pretty quickly. My friend sent her bourbon flight back because she said it tasted like gasoline. I loved the tequila flight. read more

Food was very mid, waitress was frustrated. Drinks were mid too . Waited 1.5 hrs for our food to come out and when it came it was cold ! Eggs were super cold sent the eggs back . Lamb chops was overcooked and covered with seasoning only . The all experience was overwhelming.an Ambiance is fair . Chill environment but service is definitely poor. They offered lemon drop shots which weren't lemon drops but tasted like pepto bismol . Only thing good was the DJ . read more

My husband and i waited over 35 minutes for help. I had to complain to more than one person. The first person was the hostess and when i asked her if someone can come over to give us water she said has no one came to help you or seen you? I said no and she rolled her eyes and walked away so i thought she was going to get someone after that i waited 5-10 more minutes just for no one to stop by so i got up and asked two of the waitress for help (who was absolutely amazing ) and finally found someone to help us. I asked more than once to speak with a manager and was informed that she was busy and she will stop by once she had the chance. She never came and i continued to ask throughout my meal. On the bright side the waitress was really nice and the food was good. read more

My friends and I had an awkward experience at Maya Lounge. Social media gives the impression that this is a swanky and bustling place but we pulled up to a restaurant that if you're not paying attention you would assume it was closed for business. We had a reservation and the hostess was charging the iPad near the door where customers had to walk in. A reservation wasn't necessary because it wasn't busy at all. We were seated at a table with ottomans (chairs with no backing). After switching the chairs, we noticed the smell. It smelled like collard green water, I can't describe it any other way. I assume it smelled this way because they have brusselsprouts on their menu but it wasn't pleasant. We noticed that the place was awkwardly quiet although there were folks seated at tables around the restaurant. The people in front of us had full plates and no one seemed to be eating their food. After a debate on whether we would stay we placed an order for egg rolls. The sauce for them was good and they were tasty but the smell and overall vibe was not what we were looking for so we requested our check. Our waitress was nowhere to be found after looking in the bathroom and around the restaurant. She was sitting in a booth with the hostess and came back to our table rolling our eyes, visibly annoyed that we were the ones waiting and ready to go. Long story short, I'm not sure if this restaurant has been around for long but I hope they can make some service improvements. read more
