Maa Kitchen - Jacksonville, FL

As a frequent customer who has been ordering from here for over five years, I’ve always considered their Chicken 65 Biryani one of the best in Jacksonville. Unfortunately, today’s order was by far the worst I’ve ever had. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed a significant decline in the quality of the Chicken 65 Biryani, but today was a new low. The rice was extremely mushy, the biryani was practically dripping in oil and the taste was nowhere near the standard it used to have. The excessive amount of oil was so overwhelming that I could barely eat it and felt nauseous afterward. It’s disappointing to see one of JAX’s favorite biryanis slowly lose what made it so good. You can see from the pictures just how excessively oily the biryani was.

If you’ve never eaten here, get up and go right now!! I consider myself a food connoisseur and have had Indian food from all over, but this place is seriously one of the best I’ve had, aside from New York. We ordered the chicken fried rice with eggs, chicken, and veggies, the mixed tandoori that came out sizzling on a platter, Manchurian fried cauliflower, butter naan, garlic naan, and mango lassi. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

I’ve tried a lot of Indian restaurants around town, but I think Maa Kitchen has the best Chicken 65 Biryani — seriously, it’s packed with flavor and perfectly spiced. Their vegetable Pakora and the onion one are also so good, super flavorful. The Chicken Tikka Masala was rich and creamy, and the Butter Chicken was absolutely delicious. Everything I’ve tried so far has been amazing, and I honestly can’t wait to go back and try more from their menu! Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving authentic and satisfying Indian food. Service was pretty great too!
