Norma Listman and Saqib Keval's 2025 Michelin-starred Juárez fusion-Indian, Mexican, and East African threads woven tight. Chefs Norma Listman and Saqib Keval built Masala y Maíz around the historical trade routes connecting Mexico, India, and East Africa-featuring dishes like samosas with suadero or potato, Veracruz prawns grilled with masala, and chilpachole with tamal colado, alongside ethically sourced ingredients and transparent labor practices. Awarded one Michelin star in 2025, it is a restaurant with both a point of view and the technique to back it. Masala y Maíz holds a Michelin one-star rating in the 2026 Michelin Guide, awarded in 2025. It is one of the few Michelin-starred kitchens in Mexico City built around South Asian and East African cooking rather than Mexican or European technique.
