Maya wasn't difficult to find, however, if you're unfamiliar with the Wanchai area it's best to give yourself an extra 10-15min to find the place. Upon arrival, the door immediately opens up to a diner's table...'space' in Wanchai is evidently an issue. After the 20min wait, we were seated not in the dining area in the restaurant, but in the back of the house where there was no AC, but only two fans (thank goodness it was raining, so the temperature did cool down)...Alrighty, let's cut to the ch
Alrighty, let's cut to the chase:
I ordered their specialty veg/fruit drink ($48 - which was the one with beets and a multiple of other fresh and yummy-licious additions). It tasted fine. Nothing to boast about, but it was certainly a healthy drink. Hence, me ordering the drink.
My main was the zucchini pasta with meatless meatballs ($168)...oh gosh, what a disappointment. Not that it tasted poorly, the zucchini were shaved nicely to replicate "pasta" but after trying the meatless meatballs, I didn't want to eat another one...besides, this dish (in my honest opinion) should cost at most $58. It just wasn't worth that amount. I asked myself, is it because they're located on the ground floor and rent is getting more ridiculous for them? How on earth can this dish be worth $168?! It blew my mind...
Dessert: We had the vegan baklava ($58) and it was definitely up to par with the ones I've had in Greece. Would definitely order another (for take-away).
Would I return for a meal? No.
Would I return for their baklava? Yes. And that's it.
