So I tried a thali plate at Amaya last night and thought it was OK. Portions were generous and the price very reasonable ($20 for a thali plate and mango lassi). The spices are toned down for local consumption, but there was still a bit of heat to the vindaloo and pickle. It is more informal than I had expected, with a cafeteria-like set up at the back where you can order and pay up for your food. A number of dishes are ready to go while others are prepared in the kitchen. Seemed to me like it would be good for lunch and for take-away, but it is not a fancy arrangement if you are looking for fine dining in the evening (very good option for a quick meal if dining alone, as I was). There are a number of South Indian items on the menu. If you enjoy Indian food, I would say you should check it out.
