About Maaya Authentic Indian Cuisine
Maaya Authentic Indian Cuisine delivers modern Indian cooking with genuine street-food roots in Bath's Crescent. The kitchen balances traditional flavours—samosa chaat, pani puri, crispy lamb—with Indo-Chinese crossover dishes that land consistently. Service is the signature here: staff move with care and warmth, with Kunal singled out repeatedly for attentiveness that feels personal rather than performative. The dining room carries a calm, unpretentious vibe. At 4.5 stars across 727 reviews, Maaya sits level with The Oven (a 2,759-review pizza benchmark) and Bandook, but punches above its review volume: the consistency of praise for both food and hospitality suggests a neighbourhood gem that's still finding its audience.

What Customers Say
The crispy lamb alone is worth coming here for. We had never tried Samosa chaat and liked it quite a lot. Even though they seem to be short staffed, the food was all delicious and came out in a timely manner.
We visited bath for the first time and were looking for an Indian restaurant for dinner. We had a chance to dine at maaya's. Served by Kunal who was very sweet and friendly with us. Definitely a must go if you are looking for Indian food in Bath
Superb little restaurant, authentic flavours and a well selected menu. Well worth a visit!
