A warm welcoming place offering French Creole cuisine from Reunion island. A compact menu offering very reasonably priced apps and mains, and a lot of lentil and rice. Ordered the sampler though a few items we wanted were out. Tender coconut shrimp and beef Bourguignon entrees were excellent. We were well taken care of by the staff.

Maloya delivered a delicious and thoughtfully executed menu that showcased French Créole cuisine. We started with the Assiette Créole sampler, enjoying perfectly crispy samoussas, creamy boulettes, and a tiny pot of tangy sarcives. For the mains we shared the rougail saucisses, homemade sausage medallions in a rich gravy, and the espadon massalé, which was one of the best pieces of swordfish I’d ever had. With the mains come fluffy rice, a pot of lentils, and another stew of beans.
Overall the food was super high quality and we sampled a couple drinks that paired very well too. I’d add that it seemed the restaurant seemed short staffed, and it was cold, we had to keep our layers on. It seems like someone should give the plant decor some attention too.

Giving this place 5 stars for the FOOD – everything we got was tasty but also quite unique and memorable French creole cuisine. We loved the samosa app dish, and the pork belly / coconut shrimp entree. The food legit took over an hr to be served which given there weren’t that many other tables busy was really a excess long time

I held my daughter’s baby shower here. Samuel exceeded my expectations! The food was served family style at every table and it kept coming till everyone was totally full. The staff walked around with Mimosas and soft drinks so effectively no one had to ask for a drink. I highly recommend Maloya for dinner
Or a special occasion you may want to celebrate. You will be pleased!

Everything was solid and reasonably priced! Definitely among the more unique restaurants in the neighborhood. The flavors and vibes were cozy, hearty, and comforting. Particularly well suited for a NYC winter.
Standouts were the salted cod balls and unexpectedly the lima beans!
I took a star off because even with the rather limited menu, three of the dishes we wanted (an app, main, and dessert) were not available for whatever reasons. Given that there were only two other customers at the time and we went only an hour after opening, to me, this speaks to some mismanagement. I don’t know if this is usual or not but would be willing to give this place another try.

My family and I had the most AMAZING dinner at Maloya! The food was excellent, our hosts (the owners) were fun to chat with and made the experience so special. Each dish was delicious and the flavors were unique and inspiring (and most is gluten free). Maloya is a true hidden gem in this city – I highly recommend for anyone looking for a new favorite in Brooklyn. It is so unique and fantastic, we will be back as soon as possible !!

Maloya was my chosen spot for a birthday gathering for me and my party of 8. We called in advance for a reservation with no trouble and got seated right away once we arrived.
The interior of the restaurant transports you to Reunion Island, away from the hustle and bustle of NYC! The walls are adorned with landscapes of islands and mountains that you can find in the vicinity of said island which added to its calm and soothing ambiance.
Service-wise, the restaurant seemed a little understaffed as it took about 20-30mins to get our orders taken, with waters following soon after. We ordered drinks first and then food, a bit worried that our large order would be taking some time. However, we were pleasantly surprised to have our food and drink served not too long after placing our order. Unfortunately they were out of the pork belly and the stewed beef dish.
The appetizers and entrees were all delicious! We got one of each appetizer, the shrimp, swordfish, sausage, and lamb leg entrees. The swordfish was nothing short of fantastic, with great flavor and savoriness. The sausage and shrimp were tasty as well, with the sausage having a mild yet deep flavor. The lamb leg sauce was yummy as well, but the meat proved to be a little tough and overcooked. Appetizers were delightful as well holding perfect crisp and crunch. A small note is that the entrees could have been a bit hotter, as they were near cool when they arrived at our table.
Overall, while my party and I enjoyed the food and atmosphere, I think this place is more suited for small parties as the portions are not exactly family style. I recommend this as a good date night spot or even a quick stop in for some nice cocktails!

My favorite restaurant in the city. Get the coconut vanilla shrimp. Unbelievable. Also, the cocktail menu is very creative, unique, and full of great options.
I love Maloya

The shrimp and lamb were delicious and tasted very warm and homemade. Don’t skip on dessert, the corn cake was very good with some of the freshest ice cream I’ve had. The service was also really good, I recommend this place for a casual dinner!
