One of the best dining and cultural experiences of my life, thanks Ben, Belinda and team for having me! On arrival I was greated warmly by Ben the owner and son of Marija with a nice welcome drink and fresh baked warm bread. The place feels special, beautifully designed, family photos are around and it has a warm yet sophisticated feeling. Their new menu features all your Maltese classics with some modern twists. Fresh seafood and local ingredients are used and they hand make their ravioli as well. Everything was fresh, tasty, simply cooked and dining alongside the show was special. The highlight was the fresh prawn linguine which had such rich prawn flavour with perfectly cooked pasta. All generous in portion and the staff are well knowledged about the menu. The Folklore shows on a Friday night are a must. Ben introduces each of the dances before they perform so you learn about the history of each as well. There was the fan dance, dance of the Knights, carnival one etc, it felt like stepping back in time. The traditional costumes were beautiful and all the performers were exuding joy and pride. What a welcome surprise to see the dance floor rises as well! After this my friend requested a song and Ben sang. This reminded him that it was the anniversary of his mothers passing and he sang a beautiful rendition of Bocelli's Fall on Me. I don't think there was a dry eye in the room. I feel lucky to have experienced such Maltese hospitality and I highly recommend this place. It's more than a meal it's an experience.

So much fun! We arrived early to get our seat. We were serve 4 courses from 7:30-9:30. I am lactose free, which they were able to accommodate and my child was able to get the kids menu. We purchased from Viator, so it included dinner, soft drinks for kids, coffee, beer/wine. Credit card accepted for other purchases not included. Everything ran smoothly. Our server only came to our table a few times, so that was a bit disappointing, but the other staff quickly took our plates and offered their services. The show was perfect, just enough to give you the feel for the traditional folklore dance. This place has been around since 1964. Love to see this! Cute cozy decor with traditional Maltese meal that included horse (if you choose) and rabbit, but they did have chicken as well. After the folklore dance, the stage was open for guest dancing, which was a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

This is a must visit for great food, great service and a great restaurant. We visited later in the evening without a reservation and the place wasn't completely packed but I recommend booking to avoid disappointment. Belinda was a very nice waitress who takes a personal interest in all her guests and really made us welcome. The food was spot on with Maltese bread and some complementary appetizers to start. We had fried goat cheese starter which was super - soft and not overpowering like some feta cheese can be. The main courses were large and full of flavour. Really liked the Maltese style potatoes which had fennel seeds and other herbs for a distinct but somehow familiar flavour. Sadly we were too full for dessert. Hopefully, we can find room next time. Definitely recommend this place for families or couples looking for a unique menu and dining experience!

Ta’ Marija is an absolute gem in Malta! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and charm, setting the tone for a truly wonderful dining experience. The traditional Maltese cuisine was absolutely delicious—each dish was bursting with authentic flavors that transported us straight to the heart of Malta's culinary heritage. A special shoutout to our host, Belinda, who made our evening unforgettable. Her hospitality was second to none; she was attentive, friendly, and truly made us feel like part of the family. Belinda’s genuine care for her guests added that extra touch that made the night special. If you're looking for a place that offers fantastic food, incredible service, and a welcoming atmosphere, Ta’ Marija is the place to go. We can't wait to return and enjoy another evening of Maltese hospitality at its finest! Highly recommended!

The food is not freshly cooked. It is precooked probably a day or more before the day it is served for you as fresh. We arrived just as the "restaurant" was opening, and EVERYTHING including rabbit, potatoes, vegetables, snails, EVERYTHING, except of a "homemade" ravioli dish that was probably frozen and cooked when we ordered it, was precooked and just got warmed up after we ordered it. I don't have to comment on the taste and the texture of the food. Awful. Last but not least. We ordered "homemade" caramel ice cream (the only "homemade" touch they might added was some walnuts) and my wife ordered a pavlova cake. The cake had a very bad smell. It stinked like it was sitting for 2 weeks. Hell they might even scraped some mold of it so it would get served to us. Absolutely pathetic, bad, trash and miserable. Avoid at all costs.

It was very nice to experience some of Malta’s traditional cosine! Most of the staff were quite friendly and did try to make us feel good. We were the last table and they didn’t pressure us to leave. Unfortunately they were understaffed which resulted in a very slow service. Apart from that the food was inconsistent- some things were prepared well, while others were not. For example the boneless rabbit had bones it it. Also, they came to take our plates when 2 people were still eating. It was quite rude, as they said ‘hurry up’ instead of waiting for all of us to finish. Worst part was the music - too loud to hear each other. In a restaurant, would expect an atmosphere that would suit having a conversation.
