Great service and excellent food. A fantastic location on St Katherine's dock with a view of the yaughts. Diverse menu. I would highly recommend a visit
Nice restaurant. Good food. Could have been hotter when arrived on table. Service was very attentive overall good experience. However authentic Punjabi cooking. Only complaint was we couldn't finish our meal and asked for it to be packed to take away. They put the daal and chicken dish in the same pot which if I was vegetarian or with someone vegetarian would have been appalling. It was late when we left however no excuses. Doubt if I would go back as the food does not beat my favourite and the end of the night as below left me with a bit of a niggle
Such a great restaurant and the location is second to none in the city! I can't remember eating Indian food as good. Service was good too.
Was a lovely lunch. Although booked for 12:30 We arrived 25 minutes early which was not a problem. A good dining experience. My only small critism was the small selection on the menu for lunch but it was all very tasty, pleasing to the eye as well as the palate and served in nice surroundings. Will go back sometime on the future buy no rush
I been here quite a few times.. and food is awesome even though the quantities are less but it's worth paying for that delicious food.
The Service was good and the staff were friendly but the food was Only average. St Katherine's Dock is a pleasant location and the restaurant was quite busy.
The food was excellent! The service however left much to be desired. Our waiter was less than friendly and absent. We were left unattended far longer than necessary.
Excellent food and service with the best location in London. Try the maharajah platter and the Dall makani full of mouth watering flavours will definitely be back.
Nice restaurant but quite expensive when you compare it with the quality of the food The service is very nice but we didn't really enjoy our food.
The restaurant décor was nice, friendly staff and food was good as well. Would recommend one should visit Mala. The New Year atmosphere was good and the DJ music was good as well. Very nice location.
The food was great, the staff are friendly and efficient, the restaurant is set in a wonderful location of St.Kathrines dock, highly recommend the Mala.
The location was great! St Katharine docks. The gents toilets were filthy Service slow Restaurant inside unclean food nothing special to brag about. won't Return!!
Nice restaurant, quite noisy on our visit. Food was OK although some of the portions were huge, our starters were the size of a main course which puts you off the rest of the huge plates. Reasonable quality.
Food excellent but service not so good - was busy but waited a long time to order and waiters were inattentive and we waited ages for drink top up and to pay bill
Waiter forgot our drinks for 30 minutes and we had to wait an hour for our main course as we were given the wrong dishes. The restaurant decor is lovely and we were given free drinks as a compensation for their slow service. The food was nice but the chicken korma my partner had was bland and boring. If service is like this constantly then I would not recommend.
Brilliant food and attentive service. The cod tikka starter was incredible, and was a great night for my dads birthday with the family. Would definitely recommend.
+Ives - Delicious, Good food -Ives - dated & ordinary cutlery, and so below average presentation, cocktail(LongIslandicetea) too overpriced, served in a beer(cobra)glass which isn't to the standard, bland cocktail, no taste of alcohol at all.
Lovely little Resturant with polite staff and tastey food. I think the starters were better than the main but overall I was quite satisfied with the quality of food.
Fabulous restaurant in a great location. The service was great and the food was delicious. Suitable for couples, families and parties. Had a lovely night would highly recommend.
great location, very good food, just a little expensive. I ordered a vegetarian set and ate only half of it, too bad I wasn't given a doggy bag.
Good food and service Seating preference not considered though Still very pleasant, enjoyed by all in party. Would definitely come again. Nice location, very pleasant and good ambiance
i was there already once over 1 year ago but unfortunately the service as well as the food quality changed. It started with receiving the wrong order, then the waiter coming by taking the plate and literally swopping with our neighbours plate - where it was our food - however both sides started with the food as optically it seemed correct. then also the main dishes were blend - not much taste and one dish was not even close to what it should have been ( which the waiter confirmed us). Also the service was not incredibly great or nice - the restaurant wasn't even close to being fully booked, so there were definitely enough staff ... Unfortunately beside the location, I can't recommend going there.
Great food, wonderful service and good value - can't fault it. It's in a special setting with nice views from the windows. The food was definitely a cut above other Indian Restaurants I have been to.
Wonderful place - excellent food and super service. Really authentic - it was like being back in India! We will be back to enjoy soon!
We had good food and a good service. Because of the indian accent, sometimes hard to understand the waiters. But we will come back anyway.
Wonderful surroundings. Quality food and service with it all being put at a reasonable price for the area. Well worth a visit if you are around st Katherine dock.
Great Service , spacious and tastefully decorated interiors and ambience , nice Indian food , competitive prices as well considering central London , will visit again , Thanks
Coming from east London and eating in the various Indian restaurants around my home, I was expecting a similar experience here. However, it was much better all round. The restaurant itself is quite large compared to what I'm used too and very pleasantly furnished. No background music at the time, but funnily enough, did not realise this until we had nearly finished eating!!! The staff were very pleasant and on hand but not intrusive, the food was very good, large portions but much more refined than we're used to, Indian fine dining is how I would describe it and then there is the view over St Katherine's dock!! Very good experience and will definitely be visiting again.
Good food and service with an extensive wine list. Nice buzzy atmosphere. Food was spicy and of high quality. Overall price of meal was fait at just under £70 per couple.
The Mala never fails to please, when it comes to quality of service and food. Their meat quality and flavours are always second to none and not forgetting the amazing location (St Katherines Dock) - Great not seeing traffic outside . I booked for a group of 10 - Looking forward to my next visit
Rate of 5 Service -1 Food 2 Attention -1 When you going out you smell kitchens 15% service charge for a crap service To expensive
Very disappointed with the service. Our starter [poppadums] arrived without onion relish. We were charged £5 as it wasn't included within the dips. We then waited 1 hour for our mains due to a mixed up in the kitchen ! We asked on several occasions why our food was late with no response. Finally I spoke to the manger who told us about the mix up. Compensation was our bottle of wine and poppadums were removed from the bill. We won't be rushing back.
great food ,exerlant portions good service and set in a beautiful location
The food was tasty, and the presentation was good. The service, whilst friendly and polite, could have been a little more refined - it didn't quite match how well dressed the waiters were (which I thought was excellent). The atmosphere/ambiance was a let down, the music didn't match the surroundings, the lighting was a little too bright, and the sound of the phone ringing (a very unpleasant ringtone) every 10 minutes was awful.
The food is amazing here, & that is why this was not my first visit & wont be my last. See you next time Mala.
good service, great food! we indeed had some excellent wine advice as well! be visiting you guys soon again! we have been enjoying your hospitality
Beautiful food and excellent service, will definately return to this restaurant!! The waiter helped in recommending different dishes with members of our party who otherwise would have been unsure what to order!
Good food poor service. Asked if we were ready for mains while eating starter, never asked how the food was or more drinks during our meal.
The food was good but not a huge selection of curries. The service was fine and not too slow but the waiters were not very friendly.
Fabulous authentic Indian food served by very nice people in this restaurant! We would recommend a visit to any Indian food lover ! Reasonable prices considering where you are.
