I dig this tiny Indian restaurant! Maybe 10 tables here and servers have lots of time to walk those new to Indian cuisine through the menu. This is near Curnayn's Tavern on W 8th St by the side entrance to St Joseph's cemetery. They do lots of business with Grub Hub and Uber Eats. I have even attended weddings catered by Mayas! They are seriously underrated, probably because they don't get much foot traffic in this area. On this visit we ordered paneer pakora, everything naan, saag paneer, chicken tikka masala and had gulab jamun for dessert. The food is served with assorted sauces and rice. A menagerie of flavor swam from the tip of my tongue to my gullet. Everything was delicious! I am a snob about my Indian food, and I do not like all local spots. But this place is damn good. Get it to go or stay awhile. read more

Amazing place to eat! The staff is extremely friendly and quick. Every time I've done dine in, they've been attentive. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and clean. Not to mention the food!! It's always correct when I place an order. I've never had issues with missing items or cold food. I've been going here for years and plan to continue! read more

A surprisingly delicious West side addition, you definitely have to check it out! The portions are plentiful and everything here is delicious. Obviously garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer are the most popular and they are all very good. You can choose your spice level 1 through 10. My favorites are the chicken bartha (eggplant) and the chili Gobi (cauliflower). If you call in your order, they have it ready, but keep in mind they do get really busy around dinnertime. read more

SUCH a good choice - we were glad we made the journey out of downtown Cincinnati while we were visiting. The shrimp tandoori was different than ones we've had in the past - as I am used to ones that are more of a dry rub versus a sauce, but it was great. Recommend shrimp tandoori and chicken tikka at a 4 here if you like spice but not too much. read more

I've been to a lot of Indian places around the city and I *thought* I knew where my favorite Indian place was until I tried Maya's a few nights ago. WOW, It's so freaking delicious. I tried the Chicken tikka masala and the vindaloo chicken. I've always been a huge fan of tikka masala and this was the best I've had yet. This was my first time trying vindaloo and it's even better than tikka! Portion size is huge and the service is awesome! They even gave us a free garlic naan which was really sweet! It's pretty warm in there, not sure if they have air or not. But it was worth it! :) read more

Mayas Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Excellent Always great food and great service. Best Indian food in the city. Worth a trip to the Westside if you're on the East read more

Consistent. Got food from their food truck. Only knock is that I wish they had some simple bread like roti/chappati (they don't offer naan in their truck) maybe more paneer. Decent portion and kind people. Ordered CTM and Saag. Not spicy from the food truck, full of flavor. read more

Good food, fast service, easy parking on side street. Take-out is always timely. Quiet dining room if you prefer to eat-in.

Thank you for the chicken tikka spicy 5. It was delicious! Love that they actually cook the peppers and onions here. Most other places serve them raw and I much prefer it this way. read more

Mayas Indian Restaurant - Chicken tikka spicy 5 - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Love this place. We order a full spread from time for delivery and it never disappoints. You know its good when afterwards you need to lay down on the couch Eating in is good as well - small parking area in the rear and some street parking. read more

Love Mayas. Maybe not a romantic dinner spot, but the best damn carry out for sure. Loved really close to here for a couple years before I tried it, and regret going anywhere else now. I really think they have the best flavor in Cincinnati, and do a really good job overall. The portions are good size, and not just all sauce or rice, having plenty of meat or paneer that is cooked nicely- not as dry as some Indian places in town are prone to do. Haven't had one dish that I have been disappointed in yet, and been there over a dozen times, each time with someone, so have tried a lot of variety. Only wish is the spice level was more consistent. I love spicy, and sometimes my 5 will be closer to a 2, but I can live if that's the worst part. read more

Small family restaurant that is inexpensive but has really great food. Great addition to the West side read more

Owner was very friendly and food came out piping hot and well wrapped for carry out. We ordered the potato naan, regular naan, chicken biryani, chicken makhani, chicken curry, and mango lassis. Everything was good, but I wasn't blown away. If I was back in the neighborhood and was craving Indian food I would visit again, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Everything was amazing Food is fresh Prices are good Service was quick Place look nice read more

Love this place! The dining room isn't anything special, but it's always nice to be waited on. Bonus: BYOB and no corking fee! We usually order carry out, and the food is always delicious, fresh, hot, and more than enough. It's a little pricey but we can easily get two or more meals out of each entree. Hands down - the best Indian food I've had in Cincinnati. read more

Best Indian in Cincinnati! Great price and food is amazing I wish I would have taken a picture of our food. We always try something different and love everything. The service is always great! The place is so clean and enjoy the music that is playing in the background. I would definitely recommend coming here! read more

Brought my aunt and uncle here in an attempt to convince them that indeed cool, small restaurants exist on the west side. They hadn't tried Indian food in probably 10 years, so this was a trial by fire. We ordered some mild dishes - CTM, Chicken Makhani, vegetable Biryani, etc. We also got the Bhatura (fried bread) and Mango Lassi / Indian coffees. We came at a very busy time, so service wasn't great, but the food more than redeemed the experience. Parking is available in a lot behind the restaurant (entrance on Pedretti) and also on the street. Don't be put off by the dining area - it is a bit makeshift and poorly decorated... delivery is always an option (and available through Yelp, which I want to try). Glad to have Maya in the neighborhood. read more

Such delicious food and wonderful people who own this business I will always recommend Maya because it is clean food, healthy food, and the service is wonderful read more

We've been here several times and are obsessed. This is some of the best Indian food we've had across several cities. We normally get the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Lamb Saag. Both are delicious. You really can't go wrong. read more

My favorite Indian restaurant in all of Cincinnati and I'm lucky to only live 5 mins from here, greaaaat food. Friendly staff! Located on the west side of the city but close enough to downtown for anyone to make the visit read more

It's always good to see good food come to Price Hill and this is definitely a great addition. The restaurant is tiny and can get packed easily, but in it you'll find all the popular Northern Indian dishes cooked with care. The food is a bit milder than elsewhere (based on the levels we ordered) but delicately seasoned and quite delicious. I have heard rumors that this place is owned by Maya of the original Dusmesh and Swad family, and while I can't confirm or deny this, I can tell you that this is a solid restaurant that is definitely worth your visit. read more

Best Indian food in Cincinnati!! The lamb curry is amazing! Always my go-to when I want a special dinner.

Yum!! A friend of mine (an Indian aficionado) had Mayas cater a party recently. OMG - this was some of the best Indian food I've had. It was less mushy and watery than other restaurants I've tried, and everything had great flavor and texture (the naan was perfect). Like other reviewers have noted, you wouldn't go here for the glitz. But this will definitely be my go-to Indian restaurant in the future. (My friends definitely agreed) read more

My work group was looking for a decent place to celebrate a birthday, and my Yelp app conjured up this place. It was a bit of a drive, and the Price Hills neighborhood is not exactly a garden spot. The location in a little storefront does not stand out except for the big yellow sign. Inside there are only 35 seats, and the bright yellow walls and black velvet paintings are a little cheesy. But all of those concerns disappeared when the food arrived. We all ordered from the lunch menu, which offers all of the usual northern Indian dishes in vegetarian, chicken and lamb varieties. The regular menu includes goat, which earns them a star all by itself. The lunch portions were more than adequate, and we received free refills of rice. My lamb vindaloo was tangy and thick, and the requested spice level 5 on the 1-6 scale was attention-getting but comfortable. One in my group asked for off the scale heat, and even though it still wasn't overly hot, he thoroughly enjoyed it, as did everyone else. We ordered naan separately, and it was almost roti-thin with little bits of delicious char. Mango lassi is one of life's true joys, and theirs is a pretty generous serving. Everyone left full and happy. Service was friendly and very accommodating. Lunch is a terrific bargain here as well. It's about as good as Indian food gets in Cincy. read more

Mayas Indian Restaurant - Lunch portions of curries plus naan and rice - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This was my 1st Indian experience, but with all the 5 star reviews thought it would be worth a shot. The food was amazing. Maya walked us through the menu and made several recommendations. Mango-Curry lamb for me & Chicen Tikka Masala for her. Absolutely some of the best service I've ever had at a restaurant. If you're like me and been waiting to try Indian this is definitely the spot read more

Mayas Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Absolutely Amazing Food!! Best of the best!! Best Hidden Gem on the Westside of Cincinnati!! Quality is Top Notch!! 6 Stars!!

Omg! This restaurant was such a find! Trust me I did not think I was going to find such good Indian food in Cincinnati. What makes this restaurant stand out is how the taste was so close to home. Didn't feel like I was eating at a "restaurant". For appetizer we ordered a veggie platter. Main course - Batura, Aalo Choley, Vegetable Biryani, and yes Pooris too ( Yes we did not finish it) Except for the Pakoda which I thought was on the more saltier side, everything else tasted out of the world. Right amount of spices, fresh, and authentic taste. Thats all that we needed at the end of a long day. So if you are Cincy and crave Indian. Just go here! read more

Excellent service and too good to be true -Indian food. MR. Hoshiar (our server) was just perfect and so welcoming. Felt like at home. We tried daal tadka and paneer bhurji with Roti. Loved it! Will recommend to come here for Indian food. I tried Akash and Ambar (2 other Indian restaurants rd) in the past few days and they are no where close to this restaurant in regards to service, food etc. read more

Delicious! We started with Muligatawney Soup and lentil soup and paneer pakora. Super yummy! Fried cheese with spices - can't go wrong. We tried lamb korma, chicken shahi korma, and tikka bharta with various naan. It was very flavorful! You could really taste the spices in the bharta and the korma was smooth and creamy. The house special naan was fab! Full of spices and garlic, chicken, and cheese - mmmmmm They've only been open a month, give them a try and see for yourself. read more

Mayas Indian Restaurant - Chicken Tikka - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Great food. The butter chicken is amazing. We carried out and it was still hot after a ten minute drive.

In full disclose, I'm a sucker for good Indian food. But this place is the best Indian I've had in Cincinnati besides Ambar in Clifton, and it might even give it a run for its money. We've eaten at the restaurant once or twice and it's an average dining experience. The staff is friendly, the food comes quick and is always hot and delicious. But most often, we order takeout. Our favorites include the vegetable mango curry, chicken tikka, nav ratan korma, chicken tikka masala, among others. We've had the garlic naan and it's good but we typically skip it because it's more food than we need. Everything is delicious, particularly the mango curry. The combination of spicy and sweet is fantastic. Since we left Clifton for the west side, finding Maya has been a lifesaver. It's top notch Indian food and a good price. Can't recommend enough. read more

We are occasionally like to have an Indian dinner. Mayas is an Excellent place to do so. Everything we've ever ordered has been delicious, don't miss the naan. And it's BYOB with no corking charge. read more

Mayas has two new customers for life! My husband and I were craving Indian after shopping in Cincinnati, so I saw the good reviews at Mayas, and thought we'd give it a try. However, we didn't expect to be completely blown away by how tasty everything was! Everything was made in house, super fresh, and just the delicious smells from the kitchen and our table, made the evening out worth while. We had been looking for a good Indian Resturant in the area, since my husband is from England and they have some of the best Indian food in the world there. For my husband to be impressed by good Indian food is quite impressive, and we were both extremely impressed by Mayas. The resturant itself was clean, and the service was prompt and very attentive. On the way home we were literally talking about what we might order next time, it's just so good! Definitely give them a try! read more

Authentic Indian with friendly staff. Their naan is second to none in Cincinnati. We go to no other places for Indian food.

Writing this review with fingers still partially sauced up after devouring my food. I got a couple of sides from their food truck parked outside Westside Brewery. Only wanted a snack so my gf and I split the tikka masala waffle fries and the spring rolls. Can't recommend enough. Delicious and the guy working the truck was super nice. 100% will be making my way to the brick and mortar location very soon read more

We love the food here. I wish we lived a little bit closer, but it's still worth the drive. We have tried a variety of main dishes, and none have disappointed. Definitely will be back many more times. read more

We dined in the restaurant. The decor is nothing fancy; however, the food is delicious. We shared one appetizer, paneer papadi chat, and two entrees, shrimp saag, and chicken makhani, along with an order of naan. Everything was excellent. The appetizer was the best variation on the dish that I have found in many years. The entrees were just as good. We had leftovers that we took home for the next day. We've been back twice in the last two weeks and the food was just as good each time. We especially enjoyed the spinach pakora. It was almost addictive. read more

Maya's is so close to my home that sometimes my family will pop down once a week to get takeout or eat in. The experience is always the same: the food is amazing, and the people go above and beyond to be kind and make their customers happy. You can tell the care that goes into making great food. Also their dining in area is a cozy environment with nice lighting. If you don't have the good fortune of living as close as me, I promise it will be worth the drive! I've had Indian Food from around the city and their establishment wins by far. read more
