    Great environment! Perfect sit down and chat restaurant for date night or time out with friends!

    Happy hour menu
    Celeste G.

    I enjoyed the happy hour menu. I do love olives so it was a win for me. We never tried the tacos before. I didn't care for these fish tacos. Next time I will try the others besides fish. Always love the staff super friendly.

    I came here passing by, "Cholos" and didn't get to spend much time drinking the wine as when I arrived they were closing. Despite the time, we were able to get a seat and get a drink. Felt bad because whoever was working was the only one and she was running back and forth. I'd say if she weren't closing that it's a great place to have a wine and maybe get some quick bites. When we got the check, the book she used to provide the check was entertaining.

    Paella

    Come for happy hour! The small tapas are the perfect size! We split the dinner scallops, tapas paella, and tapas fried chicken. The food comes out pretty fast for the amazing quality that it is. Aiden was an excellent server and the atmosphere is calm & chill- perfect after a hot beach day. Reasonable prices have made this place a new favorite!

    Salmon over mashed potatoes and Maya's burger with garlic fries! Yummmm...

    Showed up during happy hour. Delicious signature cocktail for the day. My husband says he had one of the best hamburgers ever. Fish of the day was delicious. Super friendly, prompt service! Would highly recommend!

    Maya's is a nice little local wine & pupu establishment . Their "happy hour" menu is great but the portions are very small, so you need to order a few to share. I have enjoyed everything I've order and the burger is amazing! When seated outside, you're facing a fairly busy parking lot. But it's not a huge bother or distraction. The only downfall lately has been the service. Lack of attentiveness, no water refills, no mention of any desserts, etc.

    Decided to get away from the chaos at Waikīkī and drive north to Haleiwa to grab some lunch. We stumbled upon the north shore marketplace and noticed this cute restaurant tucked away in a corner. As soon as we walked over, we were greeted by the hostess/server and were immediately seated. I ordered the coconut lemonade and veggie sandwich(minus the goat cheese) with garlic shoestring fries. My husband ordered the fresh catch of the day sandwich with salad & their house white wine. Everything tasted divine and so fresh! The combination of their overall kindness and great quality food makes this an exceptional place to come to. Next time I'm back in Haleiwa I will definitely come back to support this wonderful little restaurant.

    MAKE THE RESERVATION 2-3 days ahead of time! but they can accommodate typically too. the atmosphere is wonderful for a cute date night or dinner with friends. SO GOOD!! Drinks: spanish rose and rum cloak both 5/5! Food: patatas bravas were AMAZIN. the cheesy burrata dish was ok but wouldn't recommend. plate: the lamb pasta dish WHOA totally recommend. delicious!!!!

    We decided to give this place a try for lunch. My friend had never been & im visiting so we went for it. We decided to order 2 different things so we could try both. Gyro - good flavor. Not greasy. Nothing to rave about BUT if you order this you won't be upset. I'd have it again. Classic Cheeseburger- great flavor. I really liked the bun. It was really soft and tasty. I think you'd be happy to order this. Fries are garlic fries but not dripping in garlic. It was a nice flavor and I felt like I could talk to people after! Parking - easy it's a big parking lot. Price - medium price. I'm on vacation so I expect to spend a certain amount on food. Service - our server was just lovely. She may have been an owner I didn't ask. But she answered all our questions & check on us enough that we didn't want for anything - but not so much that we felt invaded. I recommend this for a lovely lunch on the deck. 3.5 stars rounded to 4

    Bone marrow was perfect cooked & the topping was tasty

    Ambiance was cozy & service was excellent but the happy hour doesn't match with their website and their actual happy hour menu doesn't offer to many choices and the serving size is very small & so we ordered off their regular menu and $120 later we were still hungry. Their fall beer was interesting that it tasted like pumpkin pie rim with beer on tap. I am not sure if the 1.5 hr drive was worth it for us but we will definitely try other neighboring restaurants (Cholo's)

    Vanilla bean cheesecake

    Had an enjoyable evening out here with good food and good wine. Reservation-making was super easy online early in the week for 7pm on a Friday. They called to confirm that afternoon. We arrived a little early, but the table wasn't quite ready to turn so we browsed the art shop next door while we waited. We were seated and ordered a cocktail. They seem to be short on menus, so we had to share, but that wasn't an issue. We ordered lobster macaroni to start, i picked a couple tapas dishes and my dining partner chose an entree plate. They asked if they could just bring things out as they were ready and we had no problem with that. My Brussels sprouts came out first and they were the star of the evening. A little salty but absolutely delicious. The lobster macaroni had huge chunks of lobster. The night's special paella was available in two sizes. The saffron flavor really came through. I didn't love the clam but the mussel and shrimp were good. They have an interesting wine list with varieties and source regions not seen in many local restaurants. I opted for a Lebanese wine, which I'd never had before. It was a blend of mostly cabernet sauvignon, which is not my favorite, but it nicely stood up to the earthiness of my meal. Dessert was okay - they have two creme brulee options, which I ordinarily go for, but the banana empanadas just called my name. They (and the cheesecake) were good, but nothing I would crave again for next time. Heaps of free parking in the lot. Friendly service. Highly recommended!

    Roasted Cauliflower
    Denise L.

    I hesitated long before giving three stars. I decided to come here after seeing the reviews for the happy hour. It seemed like a great way to try a bunch of items in the true nature of tapas. We ordered two items from the happy hour menu, the papas "fries" and the roasted cauliflower. We were going to order all the items, but I'm so glad we waited until one of the dishes arrived. I could not hide my shock. The papas "fries" came out and it was the most embarrassing thing I've seen served in a long time. The plate is tiny. Think tea cup plate. It was such a disappointment. I genuinely would be embarrassed to serve that, especially at the ripe price of $10. The cauliflower was really good, but again... I think we got two cauliflower pieces in total. This was also $10 dollars. I really wanted a comparison, so I ordered the papas bravas from the main menu. It was like ordering from a whole different restaurant. For $6 more dollars you get a much larger portion, actual goat cheese, chorizo, and cubed potatoes. The taste difference was also night and day. Happy hour menu feels like they're mad at you for even ordering off of it. I would have rather paid the extra for both of the larger portions than to pay more than half of the price for 1/3 of the food. This makes no sense. Just take the happy hour off. It is a genuine rip off and it gives this place a very bad look. All in all, I came excited and hungry. I left dissatisfied and still hungry.

    Pricier espresso martini
    Catherine Y.

    Cozy cafe vibe found right in the market place. Came on a Thursday after the lunch rush so not overly crowded. Espresso martinis and food came fast. My friend was very happy lobster roll did not have celery lol and my fish tacos were nice and crispy.

    My absolute favorite cocktail at Maya's - the Spanish Rose

The restaurant is super clean and spacious, and they play some awesome classic rock music. You order and pay at the counter and they will bring you the food; the lady at the counter was extremely friendly and very efficient. You need to bus your own table when you're done, just place the used dishes, glasses and utensils in the labeled plastic tubs, not a big deal at all. Now, the food is the star. We order baba ganoush with pita, super gyro with zucchini fries, and a soup and salad combo. The baba ganoush was so delicious, and the pita was warm and soft. The super gyro has so much yummy meat in it that the pita can hardly hold them, and the zucchini fries were crispy and not oily. It also comes with a couple really good tzatziki sauces. My wife really enjoyed the avgolemono (lemon and chicken) soup and greek salad. She was so pleased with the combo that she had to order an extra takeout combo for her friend to try. On top of all that, we finished our great meal with a baklava sundae; two fresh crispy baklava pastries with a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with cinnamon and honey. This desert is a must order. The restaurant is mixed in with a lot of other restaurants and shops in a large strip mall, so it maybe easy to miss. The prices are really reasonable and the portions are good. If you like Mediterranean food; this is the place. You will love it.

They didn't feel heavy or greasy at all, they were thinly breaded and super fresh and crispy. I would go back just for those. I ordered the lamb souvlaki, everything comes with a side so I got it with the baba ghanoush. I love the way the lamb was seasoned and the baba ghanoush was delicious I might even prefer it over hummus. Not pictured, but I even got to try their garlic fries which also weren't greasy either and they had lots of garlic! I got to try their spanakopita as well, super flaky and crispy. For me, everything was a 10/10. It ended up being a lot more food than expected and perfect if you're looking for something healthy, light, but also filling. The environment was calm and the lady who was there was super friendly as well! I'd be back all the time if I didn't live so far!

The Bocconcino Whipped Burrata was a recommendation from our waitress and this was my favorite dish! So thankful she recommended it. I have never had anything like it before. The dip is made from roasted beets, walnuts, and pomegranate molasses. Because it was whipped, the texture was so light. It was perfect. The Greek Salad and Brussels Sprouts were only ok. I did not expect there to be as many tomatoes as there were and I wasn't really a fan of it for the price. My husband enjoyed the scallops and he recommends giving it a try.

And also forgot that we came for our bday celebration even though we said it on our online reservations and also when we came in to be seated. The spread of humus tasted amazing especially the beets and barrata one. Portions were on the smaller side but we were all pretty stuffed with all that we ordered for 6 adults. Ambiance was nice as well and we sat fairly comfortably.
