An Amazing Indian Dining Experience in Malta

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible Indian restaurant, and I must say, it was the best Indian food I have had in Malta. The dishes were truly authentic, full of rich flavors and perfectly cooked. Every bite was a delight!

What impressed me even more was the outstanding service. When we ordered our first dish, we didn’t realize it was a bit spicy, and our child couldn’t eat it. After we mentioned that we would like the following dishes to be mildly spiced, the staff immediately offered to replace the first dish as well—something I have never experienced in any other restaurant in Malta. Their attentiveness and hospitality made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

Not only was the food amazing, but the service was also exceptional. We left the restaurant feeling both satisfied and truly valued as customers. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious Indian cuisine with...

Very disappointing experience. The waiter behaved like a robot — not a single “hi” or “hello.” When he brought the menu, he just dropped it on the table and walked away without saying a word. While taking our order, he simply said “what you need” and even left twice in the middle of it.

He never asked if we needed anything else — we had to call him ourselves. We ordered food and tea, and specifically asked to serve the tea after the meal, but he brought everything together. When we reminded him, he just said the tea was already made.

Overall, the service was unfriendly and unprofessional. The staff seriously need training on how to treat customers with...

“Decent Meal, But Could Be Better”

Tried the lamb curry with garlic naan and palak paneer — overall, an okay experience, but a few things missed the mark.

The lamb curry had good spice levels and the meat was tender, but it lacked depth in flavor. It felt like it needed a longer simmer or more robust aromatics to really shine.

The garlic naan was soft with a nice char, but the garlic was uneven — some bites packed a punch, others felt plain. It could’ve used a bit more butter too.

Palak paneer was creamy and fresh, but slightly under-seasoned. The paneer itself was soft and decent, though not as rich or flavorful as it could be.

Portion sizes were fair, and everything was hot and fresh. It’s a satisfying combo if you’re hungry, but not something I’d rush to have again without some...
