Maa Kitchen

Tried this spot on the recommendation of my Indian colleague, and I’m glad I did. For lunch, I ordered the garlic naan, lamb curry, and chicken biryani. The garlic naan was just average. While the bottom had a nice crisp, the texture lacked the expected chewiness, and the garlic flavor could have been more pronounced. The lamb curry was a standout. The portion was generous compared to other Indian restaurants I’ve been to, and the sauce was rich, flavorful, and full of spices. I appreciated ample curry sauce —it was perfect for dipping the naan. The chicken biryani had great flavor overall. The chicken was moist and well seasoned, and the rice was aromatic with spices. However, the rice itself was slightly overcooked and a bit too soft for my taste. The ambience was modern and thoughtfully designed—you can tell effort went into the decor. The server was friendly and attentive. My only complaint: the loud music from the robot server. Even after our food was delivered, the music kept playing in the background and became quite distracting. Overall, a solid experience with good Indian food. I’ll definitely be back.

I tried mutton dam biryani and tandoori chicken The biryani is flavorful and tasty and the raita was nice Talking about tandoori chicken it was ok(more food color and not slow cooked) Overall experience was great. The seating area and environment and the ambience were 5/5 Will sure visit there next time.

I ordered egg biryani and egg curry yesterday. Egg biryani - Oily white rice + eggs Egg curry - Oily sauce + eggs I’m sharing this because I like the food here normally but last 4-5 times, it was a steep downhill, i.e., both quality and taste. Restaurants can have few bad days as well but it is problem when that becomes a habit. Fyi. I had to throw both of them (Biryani rice and curry, eggs are edible) away.

Ordered from this restaurant while in town on business. The Rasmalai and Gulab Jamun were both good. I would definitely order from here again. Update 1/2024 I have tried this location several times while on business in Jacksonville and it has yet to let me down. I love ordering from this location and will be back whenever I'm in town.

Best in terms of quality and quantity in the area. Being those who don’t eat meat, we like paneer biryani and egg dum biryani here. And with consistency in the last year! Quantity is easily sufficient stomach full for two adults compared to other near by restaurants where it would be sufficient for only one.
