Ali Baba

Reviewed By victoria_jamison - Dublin, Ireland

We absolutely loved this restaurant. We went in a group of five and asked the staff to just bring us a selection of Mezze food. We weren't disappointed at all. They brought an amazing selection and everything was absolutely delicious. They also checked in with us to see how we were getting along and to see if we wanted more, wanted to stop. Some highlights for me were the hummus - we tried a few different ones (the bread to go with it was perfect as well), the haloumi cheese and the pigeon pastry. However, having said that I really loved it all. We also opted to share a few desserts and the chocolate fondant was amazing. This was my favourite restaurant experience during our holiday in Malta.

Very cosy covered area with a heater. And delicious food to match! Good mixed shish kebab with a wide range of tasty salad choices. Explore the little vegetarian delicacies too, including the brown spicy shaped one - cous cous, perhaps - and the similar orange lentil one. Tasty dips and sauces too.

Reviewed By edinburghbhoy - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Was staying at the Two Pillows Hostel which is about a minutes walk from this cafe.
Visited Caffe Berry twice for breakfast coffee and muffins.
Caffe Berry is small, couple of chairs outside, so better suited if you want a take away.
Coffee and muffins were excellent.
Staff were friendly.
Would happily use again.

Anciova

Reviewed By gingergirlie1 - Yorkshire

We were a little disappointed by our visit. Although the food was nice enough we had maybe been spoiled by our 2 previous meals in different restaurants which were stunning. We had to remind the waiter to bring the beers we had ordered as he'd simply forgotten. We both had the mixed fish grill. The amount of fish was good but was only served with a side salad, no veg or potatoes. And there was no explanation of what the different fish were. I don't feel I should have to ask for an explanation of my food. And I echo a previous review, although the staff were pleasant enough, they seemed more intent on chat amongst themselves than attending to their customers.

This was a great, cheap and tasty Sandwich. The meat was Halal when we went too. Fairly fresh and healthy ingredients. Perfect stop whilst exploring the wider the shopping district and sights of Valetta. No Seating was available when we went.
