Very well labelled, many options, food tasty

Ordered on Bolt to our hotel so cannot comment on the restaurant itself, but the food was what you would expect from a curry. A little oily but otherwise very tasty. Large potions so 2 people should share one curry & rice. Would have been a cheap meal if we realised this!

Tasty vegan options and cocktails

There are a few vegan starters (mushroom, onion pakoras and samosas) and mains to choose from. This is an upmarket dining experience. The interior is lovely. The food was quite good too and we loved the cocktails because they came with coconut foam instead of egg and in interesting drinking vessels. They give you a free starter of papadams but note that the mint sauce isn't vegan. Unfortunately they used a little of the mint sauce to decorate the plate for the starters (we scraped it off the bottom as there was very little) however, please remind them not to do that before you order (the waiter was aware that we are vegan too, so not sure what happened).

Improvements are needed in the rice and bread section as there are no options for vegans other than plain rice and bread. Prices were average for the curries but the bread and rice were quite pricey. One curry came with carrots that actually tasted like they were frozen as they were spongy in texture. I hope that is not the case. The curries were otherwise quite nice.

Pros: Atmosphere , Marked vegan options

Cons: Pricey, Few rice and bread options

Best indian in Malta

Fantastic food. I would without a doubt give this a five star review if the app allowed it. Great Indian food from both north and south. The restaurant has a wide selection of normal, vegetarian and vegan options, with a whole vegan menu as well. Very reasonably priced. Great service.
