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!

Absolutely amazing. My favorite restaurant in Mexico City. It is a culinary school and the students put great care and love into their work. This easily outpaces many of the face restaurants in town. I encourage you to order the set menu.

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.
