Maya is a real hidden dining gem on WDW property. I don't know who their chef is, but we think he/she is a master of the spice world. 
Their food has spices, flavor and maybe a slight kick. But not spicy overpowering. Just flavorful and a real enhancement.
2 adults on the DDP.
We have eaten here in the past, but used the DDE. We are always so full we pass on dessert. But last night we just "had to" have dessert.
We were anticipating it! 
No appys -- and thank goodness. We were stuffed, and I did not even finish my entree, no matter how good it was!
DH ordered:
Tamarind Marinated Rack of Lamb served with Antilles couscous
Me:
Beef Tenderloin Tips with sauteed mushroom medley
As always, they serve up first a basket of delish bread varieties, along with a dip of fresh herbs and garlic in virgin olive oil. That alone is wonderful and worth going to MG for.
DH has had the lamb dish before and loves it. He loves even the couscous and whatever else they serve with it.
I always order meat well done, and in good restaurants (such as here and Chefs) I get it cooked perfect to my liking.
I love the MG because everything does have that great wood grilled flavor, in addition to good meat and spice flavors.
My side was mushrooms and mashed potatoes. The taters had skins in them and something else. And they were delicious.
I did not finish the meat or mushrooms, and only ate half of my potatoes. Of course their bread and dip is so darn good I really have to refrain from stuffing myself on that.
Desserts:
DH -- fried cheesecake
me -- creme brulee
DH really liked the taste of his cheesecake, and our server said it was her favorite. He said the outside was tough and hard to cut, but he ate it all and said it was good. He just did not know he would order it again.
My brulee was perfect. The serving seemed small at first, only because the dish is not deep at all. But really since it was so rich it was perfect sized. The brulee had a large blot of what tasted like a vanilla flavored heavy whipped cream, and 3/4 of a large strawberry. (Don't know where the rest of it went.
Wonderful meal, great service, and I hope to have a repeat some day. (Next time on the DDP. )
The place was nearly empty too.
