Great food! Highly recommend the mazrani murgh, really tasty with the right amount of fire, staff friendly and attentive and nice surroundings at st Katherine's dock.
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.
Good food Nice ambiance and Faruk was very attentive andgave great service. Highly recommended for its food, service and super location . Good portions as well.
Food excellent but wine list limited due to restocking taking place shortly. We were only charged for the cheaper wine we initially chose rather than the more expensive one we had. Poppadom starter also free of charge. Would revisit.
nous nous sommes régalés dans ce restaurant indien de Londres un emplacement qui permet de découvrir un peti port dans Londres un service agréable un large choix de qualite
Overall it was excellent, but sometimes the service was slow. The portion size was generous and the flavours of the dishes were fabulous although I would have preferred them to be a little spicier. Great meal!
Not at all pleased - not even a poppadum had arrived after 45 minutes - even the staff said that they were "having a bad night"!
amazing food and great presentation with friendly staff and a fantastic atmosphere overall a great experience. Not your average Indian restaurant really is a class above.
Delicious food and the staff was very friendly and flexible. We even got a new table when our bog company got even bigger. Perfect place for get togethers.
Having eaten in several Curry Restaurants, I decided to take my Mum to Mala for her birthday and I'm so glad we went there. The place is classy and relaxed and it is most certainly the best curry I have ever eaten. I will be back soon!!
Bad service and the food didn't taste good at all.Very disappointed. Would not recommend this restaurant. A pity,as the location was superb on Katherine's Dock.
Overpriced and food quality not that great. I had high hopes from the marketing it receives on radio and other peoples reviews but went to dine in with my family and we were disappointed. I have been to much better Indian restaurants in London, the location is the only nice thing as St Katherine Docks is very pretty.
Its an excellent Indian Restaurant. the Location and food is amazing. Specifically Veg/Non Veg Thali is out of the world. I strongly recommend this restaurant.
Lovely food, wide range of dishes and friendly service. Mixed starters a nice selection to try. Prawn dish and dhal too good! Would go again!
Amazing food and beautiful ambience. The staff is friendly and the location is mesmerising. I would highly recommend the place to all Indian food lovers.
Firstly, the food experience was superb. The chefs are truely magicians. The servce was good, and in all all the staff are highly commemded. Thank you and kind regards.
Always enjoy authentic Indian food here along with the ambience within the restaurant and the location itself. Staff is very pleasant to talk to and never let us down.
Food was good. Staff can be a bit grumpy. No smiles. Went with my parents and I expected someone to help them get seated, common courtesy to help older ladies with their chair etc. but didn't get that. Was a bit dissappointed.
We had a great evening at Mala, it has a wonderful location, fantastic service, and delicious food. I would highly recommend it, and will certainly visit again,
Fantastic meal....loved the tapas idea. Great service too. The restaurant is in the beautiful area of St Katherine's Dock. Lovely to walk round and admire all the huge boats. Great evening.
Food and service were great but despite the venue being huge it was very narrow and we were pressed against the wall and could not move around
Went with a group of work colleagues. The food was fantastic and very well priced. The staff were very friendly and accommodating even after we had arrived with some additional people. Could not fault our experience there at all.
Nice food but served too quickly. We had planned a nice evening out over a meal, but were in, eaten and paid in 40 minutes. Our mains arrived 10 minutes after arriving and we had not even finished our poppadum's. We felt that the large table of 10 people next to us took priority so even though the food was good and reasonably priced, we would be reluctant to return as our evening out was over within an hour. Service was ok, lots of staff but not very attentive. If you are looking for a romantic meal for 2, this is not the place to go!
It was fine, a good, solid Indian meal. I'd have given it 5 out 5 if it were cheaper but it was an expensive meal and wasn't *that* good. Happy with the food but slightly over priced, but I guess you pay for the location and St. Katherine's Dock is a beautiful place.
The setting of the restaurant was great, as was the interior. Staff very friendly and the food was delicious. Good vegetarian options and they were able to help with some dietary requirements.
Poor service. Waiter had no clue about wines. Not marinated lamb chops with big chunk of fat hanging. I have been there before but this time it was not a good experience.
No thanks, very poor attempt at an Indian. Everything about it was poor and the hygiene in the restaurant (especially the bathrooms) was poor. I won't be visiting again!
Not especially friendly service, but the lunch special (£10 thali) is generous and filling, and very, very tasty. We were seated at the kitchen entrance, which made for interruptions, and the seating wasn't particularly generous in that corner, so request seating elsewhere.
Service was excellent. Cannot fault that at all. Restaurant location and setting also very nice and romantic. I went for my anniversary as it was recommended by a few other people . However food was a let down. Not enough salt in the prawn puree but i guess each to their own. So i added salt. Bombay aloo however very bland and lack of spices. The starters my husband had gave him an upset stomach. King prawn Biriyani was ok better than the rest but again I've had better at home. Disappointed overall.
Very friendly staff and the food was excellent. I would go back anytime I'm in London because I usually live near S:t Katherine Docks and love a great Indian meal, which Mala certainly provides. The location and atmosphere is great too.
The food was good. The place was neat and pleasant. We were early but was seated right away which saved us time. However, a bit disappointed with our server who did not seem too happy to serve us and did not come to our table to check whether we and the food were ok.
Authentic Indian food, not the "template" version that you get in the rest of London. friendly and warm customer service. Quality of food has always been consistent.
Food as ever was excellent but the service this time was a bit lacking with the waitress's command of English not being of a sufficient standard to understand us when we asked for glasses for the water. Further service was a bit slow and less attentive then on previous occasions
Booked online 2 weeks before event. When we arrived there was some confusion about our table. First we were taken to the main part of restaurant, then we were ushered to a table that was in another part of the restaurant, in a corner, by the kitchen it seemed, but none the less it was a make shift table! Wasn't even laid!! They could see we were not happy. The 4 of us were contemplating leaving, when all of a sudden we were taken back downstairs to main part of restaurant where they miraculously found a table for the 4 of us by the window, and.. decorated with xmas crackers. We ordered popadoms ( which by the way, came without onion salad) and the main meal followed a few minutes later. This was extremely quick! The food was mediocre and sub- standard, it all tasted as if it was a microwaveable meal. We asked numerous times for water, and also had to ask for the table to be cleared. The service was very poor and the waiters were very miserable. When we received our bill, the waiter told us that for our inconvenience he would cross of the service charge... I would have much preferred a free drink at the end of our meal... which is the norm anyway in all our local indian restaurants we go to. Mala has a LOT to learn. Wont be going again!!
Good environment , nice Indian food. Had a very good time there. And the location is quite good too. I would recommend it to others
Very average, glasses on the table were not clean although we had beer so these were removed. Waiting staff did what they needed to do but did not seem happy. Would we go back, probably not we can have a reasonable indian closer to home.
Excellent food. Great location. Internet reservation made without any problems. Children (three) catered for according to our needs. Restaurant very busy but service was good.
very nice place and atmosphere. Staff very friendly. Unfortunately, did not enjoy the food. Was accompanied by Indian guest who was definitely not impressed by the quality of the dishes.
Nice location, really good, flavoursome food, efficient staff. Nice buzzy atmosphere on a Saturday night. Would recommend the chicken pakora, and the Karahi murgh was delicious.
Five of us had a pleasant evening and all enjoyed our food. Staff were all helpful and friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family and friends.
