Cumbbia Bar & Gastronomy — Restaurant in Msida

We were told about this place from a friend of ours who is Colombian, so we decided to try it.

We had x2 starters: Empanadas (chiclen, beef & cheese) and Patacones which chicharron (friend pork). We then ordered a friend fish platter with rice, yucas and coconut.

The Empanadas were just out of this world, the dough made of corn, not wheat, which enhances the taste. Simply exquisite.

The Patacones were super crispy, and the salsa dressing accompanying the meat was very good. The meat itself was cooked to perfection, most definitely not overcooked - crunchy on the outside yet moist on the inside, as it should be.

The fish dish was very good too, tge coconut taste present but not overpowering.

To top it all off, the typical latin hospitality and service with a smile just made the whole experience wonderful. The whole vibe was very authentic! For such an experience, with decent ingredients sourced from latin america we must say the place is good value for money.

If you are looking for proper Colombian cuisine, you will not be disappointed with this place. Make sure you book!

We will be back, muchas...

Hey, my girlfriend was right when she told me: this is the most really Colombian restaurant in Malta, the food was amazing to taste, we started with the Papas gorditas, crunches filled with a lot of meat and chicken, perfect as a starter, we have got already the Sodas micheladas or Colombian flavor spritz, and those were very freshly and balanced, then we shared a Salchipapa Cumbia and WOW extremely good portion, all the ingredients have the Colombian flavor, just they missed the green plantain in our meal order, but the rest was ok, the service is very attentive, but need to improve in how to serve for the general public since well the restaurant is a Colombian food option, there are a lot of servos rules or lines a place here in Europe should manage, like to get napkins, cutlery and a glass for water at least before the customers arrive in the table, and the place is comfy and the decoration process is in a good way. We will come...

We had a fantastic evening! From the moment we arrived, the service stood out—every member of the staff was warm, friendly, and attentive. We started with a trio of appetizers, each one bursting with flavor. The highlight for us, though, was the pork belly—perfectly cooked with just the right balance of crispy and tender bites.

The drink selection was impressive, offering a wide variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Everything we tried was refreshing and delicious.

The overall vibe was just right, thanks in part to the upbeat music that brought a true summer feel to the evening. A truly enjoyable experience—we’ll definitely be...
