Maurya Indian Cuisine
Maurya Indian Cuisine is a landmark of fine dining in Vancouver. Serving exotic, mouth watering dishes, Maurya balances flavour with healthy cuisine using minimal oils, butter and creams. Using a base of five "mother sauces" instead of the usual one, Maurya's splendid cuisine is light while still keeping the flame of traditional Indian cuisine burning bright. Each dish is prepared & served in the same manner as it was made really for the Maharajas and Nawabs (Emperors) of India. A true oasis for food-lovers Maurya delivers impeccable service and a team of chefs direct from Delhi to greet every customer with a bright smile. In a unique approach to Indian food, Maurya's proprietors have prepared an extensive and select wine list to be paired with memorable, complete meals versus a la carte service. Its interiors are elegant, calm and beautiful, producing a harmonious and exotic environment. A sun-drenched patio is sure to mesmerize you.

"This place has great potential but the lunch buffet was a shame to most less expensive Indian buffet restaurant. For a high end Indian restaurant, a better quality of food, service and dining experience is expected. Better off not to offer a buffet if it can't deliver on quality."

"Have been here many times, noticed the flavour of the food slipping gradually over the years. During most recent visit a couple of dishes were decidedly "bland"."

"This was the first time a server has ever told me, "If you don't tell us, we assume you don't want your leftovers". Can't believe she (server "deer") actually said that.
My family was there to celebrate my mom's birthday & we never liked wasting food. We had a few of each of the different Naan's we ordered left over, along with some other stuff; so we piled all the leftover bread together into one full basket, /assuming/ server was going to pack it. While busy taking photos of my parents with the cake, our food were all taken away without notice. A lot of other problems on top of this but pity there's a character limit.
Never returning again since not only did their food get worse (3 burnt dishes), so did their service."

"The service was dreadful. And the food was not good. I have been here before and it was excellent so not sure why this was the case. Mentioned to the waitress rhat one of our dishes didnt taste right (which was why we had hardly eaten it) and she didn't care at all. It was strange."

"The food is OK, but not great. It seemed mainly salty or bland. The service, while pleasant and friendly, was disorganized. For example, I asked three times before getting a cup of hot water, and then it wasn't really very hot. I had asked for hot water, like tea water without tea. After asking three times, I got a cup of water that was lukewarm, as if drawn from warm tapwater. We ordered two courses, and the meal took nearly two hours, with a very long gap between appetizers and the main course. The dining room wasn't even half full, so it seems unlikely that the kitchen was overwhelmed with orders. Different waiters came by asking us the same questions.
We were disappointed."

"Attentive service although they were going to sit us at a different table from our friends who arrived earlier and were booked under a reservation. Food was average tasting and servings on the small side but still delicious as I wasn't cooking! Not a complaint as most Indian restaurants seem to have typical portion sizes. A bit noisy but to be expected for the open sitting area. Would recommend as food is consistently good."

"Tasty food, but pricey for the SMALL portion you get...one drink, one vegetable dish and two curry dishes was $90.00 with tip. Would not go there often for dinner and only for a special occasion if I go again. I would look for another restaurant that has just as tasty food, better portion size and gives better value for your hard earned dollar."

"I made my reservation days ahead of time. Then when I showed up with my girlfriend they did not even acknowledge that I had a reservation. I even saw my name on the computer. Ive been before and the food was great. Unfortunately I did not get to try the food this time as I wasnt going to sit around and wait for table when I made a reservation. They couldnt even give me a wait time. It was chaos in there. So we left and whent across the street to cactus club."
