Fabulous Chicken Tikka Masala. Solid naan – buttery. Somosa was a B+. Excellent crust. So good. Just Not enough filling and flavor. Ice mug with cold Taj Black Label.

When you have lived in London with so many Indian restaurants the bar is set high! So when an Indian friend suggested taking me to this place I thought where the locals go it’s a good sign. When we walked in noticed the many Asians dining at this venue with their families ..
And Carlan you were so right the food did take us on various journeys and thanks! We will be back …

Our favorite indian so far in the area. We had a beautiful New Years Day lunch. The service was attentive and the food very good. I particularly liked the spicy level.

Finally tried Malai and I’ll certainly return. Comfortable bar seating, friendly service, tasty beer from India, and the Chicken Tikka was the best version of the dish I’ve tasted. It’s presented on a cast iron plater like fajitas and the extended cooking time on the veggies yields a delicious char. Spice level was spot on (I ordered hot) and the garlic naan was a perfect side dish. Highly recommended.

One of my favorite Indian restaurants in the area! So flavorful and everyone who works here is so friendly. They offer lunch and dinner but close mid day, just a heads up so you can plan accordingly!

This food was delicious. 10/10. Just so good. I ordered take-out. The service allows you to choose your heat level. I ordered the Vindaloo hot and it was perfect – nose running, sucking air to cool your mouth, beads of sweat, etc. I ordered the Madras medium and it, understandably was considerably less hot. Both dishes were just perfect. Naan was great.The staff were very friendly and the Restaurant was beautiful inside. Dining in there would be a treat. Thanks guys!

The food is amazing! We ordered the coconut chicken and the lamb madras. It was difficult to decide which was better. The garlic naan tasted delicious. To help us finish off our wine, we ordered ras malai. We will definitely be back. It’s a great place to go casual or dressed up. It made for an awesome date night.

As soon as you walk in, your mouth starts to water if you enjoy good Northern Indian cuisine. It’s a simple place with great food and decent customer service (just one woman). It’s not economical – $20 to $30 per person. We really enjoyed our meals

I ordered Malai on uber eats; they are 20 minutes from my house and my food arrived piping hot! Everything was so fresh, so incredibly flavorful. You can tell it was made with alot of love! Keep up the good Work, I recommend a million times!

We are so excited to have a truly great Indian restaurant back in St Pete! They are consistent in the flavors and the amount of heat we want. I love mild but full of flavor and my husband on the other hand loves it super spicy and flavorful…. Perfect every time! And the garlic naan is the best! We ask for it to be extra crispy.
If you are tired of mediocre Indian food and haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend Malai
