As Mr.'Nameless Alien' told you, Maya or Maia doesn't mean offensive or weird in Japanese. Maya is just a girl's name.
Don't worry!

Maya is a Japanese female name. Maia does not sound a Japanese name, but it sounds a female name. Both of them won't mean anything offensive or weird.
If your restaurant were in Japan, the name would be "Maia-san no Teriyaki Ya", which means Maia-san's Teriyaki House(Restaurant).

Maya or Maia doesn't mean anything offensive and Maya is sometimes used for a girl's name in Japan. The meaning of it depends on kanjis which are used.
