Food was good. Entries came in fast but main dishes took a little longer. Great waiter service. Green soup which is one of my favorites was missing a distinctive flavor I could not taste this time. Pulpo a la Galleta was great!

About the restaurant

Maza मज़ा [mazā] n. hindi
Joy, Pleasure “Something that makes you happy »
Inspired by a Franco-Indian love story, two cultures come together in gastronomy to awaken the
senses.
Maza Bistrot is joy on a plate; the culmination of a passion for cooking and hosting shared by Rohan
Chanana, from Rajasthan, India and Caroline Astier Chanana from Drôme, France.
Sharing is at the heart of Maza Bistrot - its leitmotif in the form of little steel thalis carefully designed for
friends, family and a community to enjoy. With freshly sourced local and seasonal produce, Maza’s cuisine departs from convention, emphasizing playfulness using spices and textures.
Marrying ancestral cooking techniques and modern inspiration, Maza endeavours to represent the
symbiosis of East meeting West.
The team at Maza warmly invites you to drop by to enjoy a cup of cardamom-laced chaï, or perhaps a
glass of wine at the bar with your favorite dishes.

We celebrated a milestone birthday with the 7-course tasting menu “Claridad y Profundidad” with wine pairings. Each course was imaginative, inventive, and our knowledgeable server guided us through the experience beautifully. Though the portions may appear deceiving small, we were pleasantly satiated by the end. The ambiance, the interior design, and the views were also some of the best in Mexico City. Bajel is such a special place, and they really put in the effort to make a special occasion even more profoundly memorable.
