Malis Indian Restaurant

Wow!

Amazing authentic Indian food - great vegan and non-vegan options!
The manager (Trevor) is also the waiter and handles the phone bookings - truly a one-man band, but this does not deter from the service at all.

The service was fast and professional, the food amazingly flavourful and the ambiance will remind you of trips abroad.

For anyone who hasn't dined at Malis, I highly recommend it!

I would recommend the mushroom or cauliflower starter and the dosa to share in a group!

You can easily miss the please because signage is not visible. Even when we eventually got to the place We couldn't find parking so we just parked at the tenant/staff parking. Food was absolutely divine. But service was a 3/5.

Unassuming place. The food was great. It’s Indian food that’s more of the authentic Indian style but influenced by local tastebuds (imo).

The chicken biryani did the things. It’s actually something I crave to have now. It’s much simpler than a traditional Durban biryani but with a deeper flavour. Portion size was decent and came with Sambar and raita.

Decor could be updated and building needs a bit of attention but I guess it adds a bit of charm.

Can recommend confidently.

Highly recommended. The spices and flavours are perfectly balanced. All of the food is served in authentic traditional copper bowls which retain the heat. The portion sizes are big and every meal looks mouthwatering as you see them pass by. The space is small and intimate. Don’t be fooled by the appearance, this place is a hidden gem. The staff are warm and welcoming.

Starters were great, however the mains and service was quite disappointing, asked for something while ordering and the owner literally rolled his eyes at us. As someone who lived in India for 6 years, I can tell you the food is not authentic Indian cuisine.

We celebrated our golden wedding anniversary at Mali's last month, nearly 40 people. The food was superlative! Trevor and his team went above and beyond what we expected in terms of service and we are still receiving positive feedback from our guests (who were mostly family and don't pull their punches)! I think Mali's gained some new fans after that dinner. Thank you again for making our day special. We'll be back!!
