Perfect south Asian cuisine. I lived in India for a while and this refreshed some of the best flavors using fresh ingredients. Some of the best garlic naan I’ve had in the states or abroad, with perfectly crisped garlic. The metal plates and music complete the upbeat atmosphere. Family friendly.

Incredibly enjoyable experience! We sat talking for hours and didn’t feel rushed. In addition to the dishes pictured we had hot chai tea and it was so satisfying on a cold day.

Food was okay – nothing special. Environment was a little loud with the desi music. Servers were excellent. Space was clean. Love the concept. They do serve alcohol which dented my spirits and made me suspicious of the halal menu label. I appreciate when we put Pakistani culture on display but I appreciate more when the menu is authentic.

It was a good meal. I got the lamb kebab wrap and my friend got the butter chicken. Service was very nice and we saw the value.

Loved the food here! First time trying Pakistani food and it was fantastic. Definitely recommend the Dhamaka burger with the pepper jack cheese and the Delhi Gate for the vegetarians out there!

Incredible! Was visiting from out of town and dropped in here because it sounded interesting. This was both the best meal I had in Charleston and one of the least expensive. The food was so deeply flavored I found myself dancing at the table as I was eating. Every bite was a different experience as you mix and match flavors on the plate. I went full bore and ordered Jahangir’s Feast and it was pretty much south Asian comfort food bliss. Service was swift, attentive, and knowledgeable. The venue is fun mix of kitch. Highly recommend and will be back!

Used to be a favorite when I lived in Mt. Pleasant, had to have it when I came back down here. Not as good as I remembered it being but still tasty. Food is spicy here, be aware lol

Food bursting full of flavor, and amazing customer service! How cool is it that Malika is the first and only Pakistani restaurant in South Carolina?!?! We ordered quite the spread, and there were so many layers of flavor in each bite. We got everything our waitress recommended – from the drinks to the food, and even the kids meals. Here’s what we ordered:
Drinks: Iced Chai, Mango Lassi, Aperol Spritz, and a couple of Cokes in the glass bottle.
Appetizer: Chaat Papri
Lunch: Street Burgers & Rolls – Beef Kabob Roll / Signature Thalis – Jahangir’s Feast / Curries, Kabab & Rice – Paneer Tikka Masala w/ a side of Garlic Naan / Kids Menu – Cheesewalla Naan, and Chicken & Rice Plate.
Don’t forget to check out the gallery wall too! So cool to see all the pictures from the owners. And kids eat free all summer long, Tuesdays and Thursday from 11:30am to 2pm.

Really, an all around fantastic experience. We got the Queen’s Road and Jahangir’s Feast, the pakola, a sour cherry hard cider, the garlic naan, and the paratha. Everything was delicious, super reasonable price, and Lauren, the waitress, was fun, helpful, and sweet. The atmosphere was nice, and the music was great. Absolutely everything about this place hit the spot, definitely recommend a stop

Had a great experience at Malika Canteen, very friendly staff. We received great recommendations for our first visit, for an appetizer we had the Chaat Papri which I didn’t expect to like but it was great. For the entree we had the chicken Tikka Masala which seemed like it was a smaller portion however it was quite filling and exceptionally flavorful. The garlic naan was alright but I expected slightly more for portions for the price. Lastly the Iced Chai was a great way to relax and settle the stomach post meal. Overall very happy with the visit
