About Terra Mayaa
Terra Mayaa is a landmark rooftop restaurant & microbrewery in Guwahati, Assam, known for melding fine dining, craft beer and live entertainment under one sky. Spread over roughly 7,000 square feet, it occupies the entire 6th floor of Anil Plaza on GS Road (Tarun Nagar), with sweeping city and hill views (terramayaa.com ) (www.brewer-world.com ). The venue opened around 2012 (co-founded by Rachit and Juhie Saboo) and has since become one of the city’s premier nightlife spots (www.brewer-world.com ). Featuring three distinct zones – a sunlit open-air Deck (with Blicks of the green hills), a Balcony overlooking the city, and an indoor Brewery Lounge – Terra Mayaa offers a unique, multi-level experience (terramayaa.com ) (terramayaa.com ). It was one of Northeast India’s first brewpubs: their on-site microbrewery produces several styles (German Hefeweizen, Kolsch, Dubbel, Strong Lager and seasonal ales made with Assam ingredients) every month (www.brewer-world.com ) (www.brewer-world.com ). In short, Terra Mayaa is notable for its blend of world-class multi-cuisine dining, scenic rooftop ambience and craft brewing all in one venue. (www.brewer-world.com ) (wanderlog.com )
Although styled like a modern club, it has a warm “boutique” feel steeped in regional character. The design mixes bohemian and contemporary elements – for example, the Open Deck is dressed with Tripura bamboo pillars draped in white cloth and bright bougainvillea plants, while the indoor bar area features dark-green upholstery, gold-toned accents and hops-themed murals on the walls (new.terramayaa.com ) (new.terramayaa.com ). This creative decor, combined with the hillside panorama, makes Terra Mayaa stand out as a picturesque spot on Guwahati’s skyline. As one reviewer notes, the restaurant has an “inviting ambiance” and consistently earns top ratings (around 4.1/5) on travel sites for its atmosphere and live music (wanderlog.com ). In fact, Terra Mayaa has been recognized as one of Guwahati’s top venues, even earning nods in national bar guides (www.brewer-world.com ) (wanderlog.com ). Its longevity and awards (including being listed among India’s “30 Best Bars”) underscore its importance to the local dining and nightlife scene.
Events and Programming
Terra Mayaa is not just a dining venue – it’s an entertainment hub. Almost every weekend there’s live music and dance events. Local guides and the venue itself promote “acoustic nights, live performances and curated experiences” (new.terramayaa.com ) (www.reverbnation.com ). The lounge stage is powered by a professional PA (L-Acoustics speakers) and even has an in-house drum kit to support bands and DJs (www.reverbnation.com ). According to the venue’s profiles, they focus on live acts especially on Fridays and Sundays (www.reverbnation.com ). Rock and blues bands from the Northeast have played there – for example, Shillong’s Soulmate and Voodoo Child have performed on the Terra Mayaa stage (www.reverbnation.com ). The club is also known for electronic and DJ nights: in recent years Terra Mayaa has hosted international DJs (such as Jitwam, Stefano Richetta and Kohra) and local EDM acts, turning it into a hotspot for dance music in Assam (sesh.sx ). In short, you’ll find a mix of events – from hip-hop and indie band gigs to DJ parties, cultural music nights and even thematic bar takeovers – that draw crowds eager to enjoy the viewpoint along with their music.
Special one-off shows also occur. For instance, in October 2019 the hip-hop duo Seedhe Maut brought their “Shaktimaan” India tour to Guwahati at Terra Mayaa (www.ticketfairy.com ). That event listing shows tickets were sold (about ₹300 early-bird and ₹500 regular) and drew a young crowd. Other past entertainers include touring DJs and acoustic performers. Besides public shows, the rooftop is available for private parties: birthdays, corporate events and even wedding receptions are arranged here with custom menus and live entertainment on request (new.terramayaa.com ). (One travel blogger even raved about doing a “bar takeover” event at Terra Mayaa, highlighting the venue’s appeal to tastemakers (wanderlog.com ).) Overall, Terra Mayaa’s programming is diverse – every week you might find a new band, a club night, or a special restaurant event happening under its rooftop sky.
Tickets and Booking
For regular dining, no ticket or cover charge is needed – you can simply reserve a table and pay for food and drinks. Grand parties and concerts, however, will often require advance booking. Terra Mayaa encourages reservations by phone or online (call +91 73990 13444) especially for Fridays and weekends. Tables for the Deck/Lounge can be booked through the official site or by calling in advance; popular dinner times (7–9pm on weekends) often fill up, so booking at least a few days ahead is wise.
For special events and live shows, tickets are sold separately. Details are usually announced on Terra Mayaa’s social media and partner platforms. Prices vary by event size – for example one 2019 advertisement lists entry prices of about ₹300 (early bird) to ₹500 (www.ticketfairy.com ). Generally, bigger concerts (celebrity bands or DJs) might cost more, while smaller gigs or open mic nights could be free or low-cost. There isn’t an on-site box office per se; tickets are typically booked online or via phone and then collected at the door. Keep an eye out for presales (often a month or so ahead).
Ticket price ranges: Typical concert tickets run in the low hundreds of rupees (₹200–₹500) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Private party packages (for events you host) will depend on menu and setup. There are occasionally early-bird pricing or package deals for big festivals.
Best strategy: Always check event announcements early. Follow Terra Mayaa’s official channels or sign up for notifications. If a major act is coming (like a national music tour), tickets may sell out quickly, so plan to purchase as soon as they are available. Once reserved, you usually just have to show confirmation or ID at entry. For walk-in evenings without a show, arriving early (especially on weekends) will help ensure you get a good table without a long wait.
Seating and Layout
The venue is divided into three main seating zones, each offering a different experience:
Deck (Open-Air): This is the rooftop terrace section with open sky. It has several tables arranged for dining and cocktails, plus a few lounge-style high-tops. The deck provides 180° views of the city skyline and the nearby green hills (e.g. Narakasur hill). It’s open to the air and often breezy, making it great for evening sunsets and starry nights. Sound here is more ambient – you’ll hear the band or DJ but it’s slightly more relaxed. The deck is famous for its romantic and vacation-like vibe (boho decor, bamboo pillars, white drapes) (new.terramayaa.com ).Balcony: A step down from the Deck, this semi-open area has a solid roof to shield from rain. It also has tables for dining, and looks out over the city. This zone offers a balance of an outdoor feel with some cover. In monsoon weather it stays dry without closing off the view (new.terramayaa.com ). Acoustically it’s similar to the Deck – good for enjoying music from a slightly farther distance.Lounge & Brewery Bar (Indoor): Located on the same floor, this air-conditioned indoor space houses the main bar and stage area. Plush seating (couches and chairs) and high tables fill the lounge. The decor here is stylish: wood and gold accents with hops/beer art on walls (new.terramayaa.com ). This is where most live performances happen. An L-Acoustics speaker system provides powerful, clear sound for concerts (www.reverbnation.com ). View of the city is more limited indoors, but you can see the bar and dance floor. This zone includes the microbrewery taproom where the craft beers are served.
Capacity: According to trade sources, Terra Mayaa’s layout accommodates around 135 seated guests under normal conditions (www.brewer-world.com ). (Some event listings estimate higher attended crowds when including standing room.) Dinner seating is fixed at tables, but during a live show people may stand or dance near the stage.
Best seats: For views and ambiance, the Deck tables by the railing are best – you get the full skyline view and open-air feel. For listening to music, sit in the Lounge area as close to the stage as you like (drop the speakers at your own risk!). If it’s crowded, try to get center or front tables there. The Balcony can feel quieter; use it if you want mid-level sound and some shelter.
Areas to avoid: Hard corners or behind pillars can have muffled sound and unstable footing if the floor is uneven. Very close to speakers in the lounge may be too loud (it’s a club system). On rainy days the open Deck might close off, so don’t plan to use it in heavy weather. Also, keep an eye on your belongings if you sit at the very open edges of the Deck and Balcony, as it’s an upper floor.
Getting There and Parking
Location: Terra Mayaa is at “6th Floor, Anil Plaza - II, 2, GS Road, Tarun Nagar, Guwahati, Assam 781006” (wanderlog.com ). This is along the busy Guwahati-Shillong Road (GS Road) near landmarks like ABC market and the IDBI Bank branch. The easiest reference is the tall white Anil Plaza building – Terra Mayaa takes up the entire 6th floor.
By car/taxi: GS Road is well-connected by city roads. Drive toward Christian Basti/Ganeshguri on GS Road. Turn into the lane for Anil Plaza near the ABC area (just past the IDBI Bank ATM corner). There’s a small parking area in front of Anil Plaza (might be limited). If that’s full, street parking is available on GS Road (though be mindful of traffic). Metal bollards along the curb generally allow short-term parking in front, but avoid blocking the drive. Some guests opt to park a block away (there are municipal lots near Ganeshguri Zoo Road or Shankar Nagar) and walk. Ride-hailing taxis (Uber/Ola) can drop off and easily find parking or a quick turnaround in the vicinity.
By bus: Guwahati city buses run along GS Road frequently. The nearest stops are labeled Christian Basti and Walford Bus Stop , each about 400 meters (a 5-minute walk) from the venue (www.onefivenine.com ). These stops are served by most east-west GS Road routes from the city center and Airport side. From these stops you walk back along GS Road to reach Anil Plaza. Alternatively, the large Ganeshguri Bus Hub (Zoo Road) is roughly 1 km (15 minute walk) south of Terra Mayaa (www.onefivenine.com ), if you happen to be on a bus that goes to school or zoo road. The Christian Basti stop on GS Road (near Sree Nagar) specifically is only about 0.4 km away (www.onefivenine.com ), so just hop off there and look for the Anil Plaza building.
By auto-rickshaw: Auto-rickshaws are plentiful in Guwahati. Simply tell the driver “Anil Plaza Christian Basti on GS Road”. They will usually drop you at the ABC Bazaar/IDBI Bank corner and you can walk into the lot. From busy hubs like Paltan Bazaar or Pan Bazaar, an auto ride may take 10–15 minutes, depending on traffic.
From the airport or railway: Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport is about 18–20 km west of GS Road, reachable by taxi or ride-share in 40+ minutes depending on traffic. The nearest major train station is Guwahati Station (or Kamakhya Station) about 5–7 km away; from there taxis and public buses can drop you at GS Road. Buses from the airport for the city are limited, so most travelers prefer a pre-booked cab or app-taxi.
Parking tips: Parking in this busy neighborhood can be tight. If you drive, plan to arrive a bit early on weekends. The venue may validate parking in its small lot for dining guests, or you can use nearby paid lots at ABC Market. As an alternative, Guwahati has many three-wheeler taxis (kaali-peeli) which can sometimes be a fast option if you know the local lingo.
Inside the Venue
Entry and Security: All guests enter on the ground floor of Anil Plaza and take the elevator or stairs to the 6th floor. At the Rooftop entry you may find a reception podium. Staff typically check reservations and may perform a security frisk (as posted rules indicate security screens are standard (www.ticketfairy.com )). If you’re attending a concert or DJ night, be aware of common venue rules: patrons were asked to be 21+ with government ID (www.ticketfairy.com ), and prohibited from bringing in hazardous items or outside alcohol (www.ticketfairy.com ). (For normal dining these may be less strictly enforced, but toning down loud behavior and no outside drinks is always best.)
Atmosphere: The vibe inside is lively and modern. Expect a mix of restaurant diners and club-goers. In the Lounge area, upbeat music fills the air; in Peak hours, it’s quite energetic. The staff is generally described as friendly, with smiling bartenders crafting fresh cocktails and servers in crisp uniforms. When live music is on, you’ll feel the crowd’s energy – Terra Mayaa prides itself on having “polite, energetic” staff that fuel the fun (wanderlog.com ). The lighting is colorful in the bar (contemporary accent lights and stage lights during shows) but comfortable for dining during the day. The open Deck is airy, often with gentle wind, while the Lounge is air-conditioned and intimate.
Food & Drink: Terra Mayaa has a full multi-cuisine menu and bar. On the drink side, they brew several craft beers year-round. Tap handles rotate among styles like Hefeweizen and Dubbel; they also brew special local brews (for instance a lager with Assam Joha rice and lime (www.brewer-world.com )). Their cocktail list is extensive – expect creative signature drinks such as the “Kashmiri Kahwa” cocktail or “Great Gatsby” gin-based mix (new.terramayaa.com ), alongside classics like Mojitos and old-fashioned. Non-alcoholic mocktails and winter warmers (Irish Hot Chocolate, etc.) are offered too (new.terramayaa.com ).
For food, the menu spans Indian, Continental and Pan-Asian cuisines. Many guests rave about the sushi and wood-fired pizzas (best-sellers on the menu (new.terramayaa.com )). Popular appetizers include tandoori dishes (flaming chicken, Sarson fish tikka) and creative starters like paneer shashlik or stuffed mushrooms (new.terramayaa.com ). Mains range from hearty curries (murgh handi, biryanis, kofta) to pasta and lasagna. You’ll also find vegetarian and vegan options. As one guide notes, dishes like flaming tandoori chicken, Afghani tikka, and even exotic black rice with mushrooms have been highlighted by diners (wanderlog.com ). Desserts are equally worldly – try the chocolate fondant or seasonal specials. A 10% service charge is typically added to bills here (as noted by some reviewers (wanderlog.com )), so factor that in.
Facilities: Restrooms are on the 6th floor, near the Lounge/patio area. They are usually clean and stocked. A small coat rack or storage area may be provided in cooler months. There’s a small retail counter by the bar where branded merchandise (glasses or shirts) might be sold, though selection is limited. Free Wi-Fi is commonly available in hospitality venues like this in Guwahati, and it’s likely on offer (ask a server for any password).
Special features: One of the most unique aspects of the interior is the attention to local flair. The Deck’s bamboos were specially chosen for their thick Tripura variety, and the Lounge’s walls are painted with hops vines, giving a cozy brewery vibe (new.terramayaa.com ). For kids or families dining early, the environment is casual (though note that alcohol is served freely, so it’s adult-centric after dark). For photographers, Terra Mayaa is very Instagram-friendly – the decor and city views make it a great spot for social media snapshots.
Nearby Amenities
Dining nearby: GS Road is lined with eateries. On the ground floor of Anil Plaza II (same building) is a Mocha Café & Bar, a popular spot for coffee, sandwiches and cocktails. Within a 500m radius you’ll find diverse options: Chinese and North Indian restaurants, pizza joints, and casual dhabas. For pre-show fare, many guests stop at one of these cafes or grab street snacks (Parle-G lassi, local chaats) along GS Road. If you want fine dining before heading up, there are multi-cuisine restaurants a short drive away in Ganeshguri or on Zoo Road.
Bars & Nightlife: Terra Mayaa itself is the main rooftop bar in the immediate vicinity. For craft brews or lounges nearby, you would travel a bit: the famous Haji Plaza area and the Brahmaputra riverside have a few pubs, but nothing right next door. Inside Anil Plaza there’s also the aforementioned Mocha Bar. Around 2–3 km away toward city center you’ll hit other popular bars in Pan Bazaar or Ulubari if you’re bar-hopping later.
Hotels: Several hotels and guesthouses are within a 2–3 km radius for overnight stays. Budget to mid-range options like Hotel Gauhati, Hotel Capitol, or Ganpati Guest House are in the Christian Basti/Government Press area (~1.5 km). Upscale chains (Guwahati Boutique Club, Bongu Grand) lie about 3–5 km north on Zoo Road. If you need a place to crash after a night out, any of these can be booked, and cabs to/from Terra Mayaa are easily available (recommended after 10pm). Uber/Ola cabs service the area; alternative taxis and autos operate 24/7 in Guwahati.
Shopping & Transit: The ABC complex nearby is a small market for souvenirs and clothes, useful if you need a quick errand run. For ATM or pharmacy needs, Acropolis or Big Bazaar (under 2 km) have all essentials. If arriving early, you might explore the nearby NEDFi Bazaar or walk toward Ganeshguri Eco Park (about 1 km south) for a quick nature break before the evening’s excitement.
When to arrive: A good rule is to come 30–45 minutes before showtime or dinner rush. On weekends, lines for elevators/stairs can form. Arriving at least 15 minutes early lets you secure a good table or spot near the stage. Late-night options after Terra Mayaa closes are limited (most city buses stop by 10pm), so plan a taxi home if you stay late.
What Makes This Venue Special
Beyond logistics, Terra Mayaa’s charm comes from its unique character and history. It was one of the first and biggest microbrewery-restaurants in Assam, breaking the mold of traditional eateries here. Its panoramic rooftop (with sunset views over the hills) makes ordinary meals feel like mini-vacations (new.terramayaa.com ). The lush green scenery and cooling breeze add a relaxed vibe that locals treasure.
Architecturally, the rooftop design is noteworthy: the high parapet walls with vertical bamboo poles create an airy lounge effect, and the interior’s combination of sleek bar (with backlit shelves of beer bottles) and ethnic-green lounge seating is one-of-a-kind in Guwahati. Terra Mayaa also has lore as a “celebrity haunt”: it’s touted as a favourite of Assam’s stars and influencers (terramayaa.com ). In fact, it’s common to spot local actors or TV personalities here on a weekend (they even advertise it as a hotspot for them (terramayaa.com )).
Culturally, Terra Mayaa helped cultivate Guwahati’s live-music scene. It regularly features Assamese and Northeast artists, giving them a big-city stage. Iconic acts have played here, such as Soulmate’s blues and tech-house DJs who turned Terra Mayaa into an “electronic music hub” for the region (sesh.sx ). The venue also hosts seasonal celebrations – from New Year’s Eve beach-party themes on the deck to local festivals (Assamese Rongali Bihu nights) – that many attendees remember as annual traditions.
Another special point: the on-site brewery. Few places in Guwahati let you taste freshly brewed Assamese beer right where it’s made, and Terra Mayaa’s founders take that craft part seriously. They experiment with local flavors – seasonal ales brewed with indigenous Joha rice and citrus (Assam lime) have been unique offerings (www.brewer-world.com ). This pride in local ingredients and tradition (mixed with international cuisine) has earned Terra Mayaa a reputation for innovation.
Above all, what visitors love is the complete experience: dining under the open sky, sipping a house-brewed amber ale, and enjoying live music together. It casts a spell of “hard to leave” that people mention often. Whether locals grabbing weekend drinks, or tourists catching the sunset, Terra Mayaa is remembered for moments – not just meals. In short, it’s special because it’s more than a spot to eat or drink; it’s a landmark of Guwahati’s nightlife and cultural life, with a decade-long story of fun, flavor and community behind it.

Visitor Tips and Information
Accessibility: Because Terra Mayaa sits on the 6th floor, wheelchair access depends on the building elevator. Most guests report that the elevator goes directly up, but if you need special assistance, it’s best to call ahead and confirm. Otherwise, be prepared for a short climb if the lift is busy.
Dress Code: There is no strict dress code, but the atmosphere is smart-casual. Many men wear button-down shirts or polos; women often dress up a bit. Since it’s a club-like rooftop, avoid overly informal wear like sleeveless athletic shirts or flip-flops. On sunny days, casual daylight attire is fine, but you may want a light jacket after dark.
Age Restrictions: The lounge (bar) is an adult environment (alcohol service) so most music events are 21+ (and require photo ID) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Non-alcoholic dining is family-friendly until late evening. If you plan to come with children, aim for an early dinner (terrain is fine until congos near midnight). Later music shows tend to focus on adult patrons.
What to Bring: Always carry a government-issued ID when visiting (especially if you want to sip beer/cocktails (www.ticketfairy.com )). Bring cash or card; the restaurant accepts cards and mobile payments, but for quick bar service some prefer having cash ready. Your phone (for music or photos) and a camera type (lots of people take pictures of the view!). Don’t forget a light jacket or sweater on cooler nights (the deck breeze can get chilly). Golf umbrellas aren’t provided, so in case of rain you may want a compact umbrella, though usually staff will cover outdoor tables if showers are expected.
What Not to Bring: Outside food or alcohol is not allowed. Large bulky bags or backpacks are discouraged. As noted in venue rules, anything that could be a hazard (sharp objects, weapons, or large tripods) will be turned away (www.ticketfairy.com ). Photography for personal use is fine, but professional video or drone filming would require permission.
Common Mistakes to Avoid: Expect the unexpected crowd and loud music. People sometimes underestimate the drive or parking time on GS Road – traffic can be slow, so plan extra minutes. Also, don’t assume every night has a full band or DJ; on some weekdays it might just be background lounge music (call ahead if you’re coming specifically for a live show). On busy nights, the elevator may take time – consider taking the stairs if you’re early. Finally, note that bills often include a 10% service charge (and then tax on tax) (wanderlog.com ), so be aware your final check will be higher than just menu prices.
Insider Tip: For a truly memorable visit, try to time your dinner with sunset. Local sunset time varies (it can be around 5–6pm in winter, up to 6–7pm in summer). The golden hour light on the hills is fantastic for photos. Also, if you’re a beer lover, arrive by 8pm to catch the brewery tour (sometimes offered informally) or the brewmaster behind the bar. Finally, if you want a quieter experience, come on a weeknight around 6pm – you’ll still get the full view but with a calmer vibe and quicker service.

Children are welcome in the restaurant area until later in the evening. During dining hours (lunch/dinner), families dine alongside others.

On the drinks side, sampling the on-site ales is a must (ask for the golden ale or seasonal brew). In cocktails, the “Kashmiri Kahwa” (tea-infused) and “Long Island Iced Tea” are frequently recommended. Don’t miss the house’s signature moktails like the Pomelo Margarita (seasonal). Since menus change, it’s also good to ask servers about their latest chef’s specials and beer releases.

Absolutely. Live music and DJs are a regular attraction here. The venue often schedules DMJ nights or concerts on weekends, particularly Fridays and Sundays as noted by their lounge profile (www.reverbnation.com ).
