I ordered delivery and while I was not blown away I was satisfied.
I found that the dishes were all on the sweet side and lacked developed flavors.
I would order from here because the ingredients seemed like they were of decent quality and the meal was satisfying. Not my top pick. -

Very decent portion sizes from a wide menu with quick delivery times make this my go to Indian delivery place. A little pricier than most places but when I order delivery I'd rather pay a little extra for the quality.
The curried onion pakora is just amazing. -

This was our sixth time ordering from this restaurant. Normally we order from them through JustEat, but this time we had a Groupon so i went and picked it up. This restaurant is usually 4.5 stars. The food is delicious and the portion sizes generous. It's a bit pricy when all is said and done, so we usually stick to Spring Rolls (which never fails us).
The reason for the three stars is that this visit was a 2 star. My criticism is that unlike every other time when the containers were pretty much filled right up, this time they were barely half full. I really hope that this had nothing to do with the fact that we had a groupon, as that is not a way to make and keep new customers. We will try Amaya again, but if there is anymore inconsistencies in portion size we'll have to pass and look for another place to get our Indian food fix. -

I ordered delivery from this place because a new Amaya Express opened in our neighbourhood on king east just past Sherbourne. After waiting for over 2 hrs after being promised the food in 1.5 hrs, we found out the food was coming from this location. To our dismay, it was pricey, cold, small portions and the chicken was so undercooked it was bleeding. I never take photos of food nor have the time to do so but I decided to this time to warn potential customers of the health hazards of this place. Trust me, my stomach is feeling it. I called Amaya Express back and demanded a resolution, and even suggested driving the chicken back to the location if proof was needed. I will never go back to this restaurant again and I hope nobody else has to go through what I just went through

Pretty decent Indian food. I ordered Amaya through the online delivery service http://Just-Eat.ca.
It said it'd come in an hour but it arrived in half an hour.
Nice and spicy.
The veggie samosas and their sauce were quite bland.
Garlic naan was pretty good too.
The butter chicken was dried out. The sauce isn't as good as at other Indian restaurants (namely Banjara). There were hardly any pieces of chicken--it was mostly sauce. I felt a bit cheated.
The chicken tikka was tasty and better than the butter chicken. If you order from here, go with this one, over the butter chicken anyhow.
Overall, decent, but I'd suggest ordering from Banjara instead. -

Amaya Express is my go-to take out place for quick Indian food. I'm not a fan of spicy food at all, so I am always cautious when ordering cuisine known for being spicy. Lots of then Indian restaurants I've ate at promised mild but the dish still came out spicy. What can I say? I'm a wuss. The menu has been toned down for a Canadian palate, which is the reason I like it. I'm Canadian and the only spice I grew up with was Mrs.Dash. Not to say that they don't offer spicy dishes for those that like them, the menu still offers classic spicy dishes, like the chicken tikka masala.
Portion sizes are big; 2 people could split one order and be full. I always order the butter chicken (all white meat!) and garlic naan, both of which are great. You need to spend a minimum of $30 for delivery but with the prices seeming slightly higher than average that may be easy to accomplish.
