For a REAL curry experience try this old, established restaurant. A great place to celebrate a birthday or a family celebration. A full range of curries but try the bunny chow. The service is always exceptional and the prices are competetive. Aland the old Indian vibe is quite catchy.Thank you for the excellent review. We look forward to seeing you here again soon.

Stumbled upon this restaurant whilst in search of some good sushi. We had an absolutely fantastic experience! The sushi was great and the service was excellent. We were provided with advice on our selection and encouraged to try the Green Mango signature sushi which did not disappoint. We will definitely be back!

Reviewed By veritasaequitas-2

Have been here a few times. Food is terrific. Great menu. Staff need to improve on their customer service. It's not pleasant being served by waiters who dislike their job. Have witnessed staff being rude to one another in the presence of customers. Food is over priced. Worth a visit nonetheless

Mali's Indian Restaurant

Reviewed By VanessaNarotam

We are fasting for Navaratri so Indian was the perfect choice. Thankfully we got a table even without a prior booking - and clearly Mali’s is a popular choice on a Friday night - as the restaurant quickly filled up. There were lots of vegetarian options and we opted for the Manchurian mushrooms and masala papads to start. Mains were masala dosa - massive dosa with a very watery, small serving of potato curry, dhall makhani - average and paneer Tikka masala with garlic naans and raita. Service was very good.

The Little India Restaurant

Reviewed By Departure742290

Recently Goodlife Foundation Executives had a business lunch at this beautiful restaurant. Our experience as we entered the restaurant was absolutely overwhelming with neatly clad waiters welcoming us with so much of discipline and excitement. Melodious eastern music played in the background. We were seated and helped almost immediately. There was a huge selection of mouth watering meals to choose from. Upon placing our order the well trained staff went on overdrive and within a short while our freshly cooked meals were meticulously served as per our order. We immediately tucked in and was not disappointed. All the meals were well prepared and very delicious. The dessert was equally of high quality and very tasty. Our overall experience was impeccable and impressive. Definitely a huge 10 from all of us for excellent service delivery. We will definitely tell all our family and friends about this authentic restaurant. Thank You
