Indian restaurants in Malta have soared in popularity in recent years. As more locals discover the rich, spice-infused flavours that are the essence of Indian cuisine, the demand for authentic Indian dining experiences has grown. Among the many options available on the island, none quite compare to the distinctive culinary journey offered by TemptAsian restaurant in Sliema.

TemptAsian isn’t your typical Indian eatery. That’s because we specialise in Asian Fusion cuisine, blending time-honoured traditions from across the Asian continent with creative cooking techniques. This means you can take your pick from a menu that takes you across the spice route, bringing the best Asian flavours right to Malta.

And if Indian cuisine isn’t everyone’s preference in your group, our diverse menu also features plenty more options. From Japanese and Chinese to Thai, Indonesian, and more, we ensure there’s something delicious for every palate.

If you’re craving Indian food that is cooked with quality ingredients, authentic cooking methods, and delivers on flavour, then TemptAsian is the place to visit. With numerous prestigious awards to our name, we are proud to serve some of the best Indian food in Malta.

Here’s a selection of our most popular Indian dishes that await you at TemptAsian!

Ease into your Indian feast with a selection of our popular Indian starter options. Choose from chicken, lamb, or vegetable samosas, perfectly paired with our raita dipping sauce or a sweet mango and coriander chutney. Or indulge in our Tikka options, which include grilled chicken, pork, or prawns marinated in a blend of tikka spices and finished with a drizzle of fresh yogurt and lemon. A delightful start to your dining experience!

Murgh Makhani, or butter chicken, is a beloved Delhi classic. At TemptAsian, we give it our spin with tender chicken marinated in a rich tomato base, enhanced with yogurt, garam masala, cumin, ginger, and a fusion of other spices. A sprinkle of ground cashews and fenugreek leaves adds a surprising twist, making this dish an irresistible blend of creamy and flavourful perfection.

Another common question about sushi among newcomers is whether it’s safe to eat, especially when it contains raw fish. The answer is yes, so long as it’s prepared correctly and handled with care. When searching for sushi restaurants in Malta, it’s wise to check whether the chefs are well-trained in the art of sushi. You can do this easily by looking at the About section of the restaurant page. Becoming a sushi chef demands dedication to tradition and precision. Many professional sushi chefs invest years in mastering every aspect of the process, guaranteeing that every dish they create is both safe and delightful to eat.

Of course, sushi isn’t just for meat and fish lovers. If you have dietary preferences that require you to steer clear of animal ingredients, there’s an array of vegetarian sushi options to enjoy. Some popular veggie fillings include cucumber, avocado, seaweed, carrots, and asparagus. When you’re perusing the menu at a Japanese restaurant in Malta, look out for the term “Yasai,” which simply means “vegetables” in Japanese. Here you’re bound to find ideal vegan and vegetarian-friendly sushi selections that are just as delicious and satisfying as their fish and meat counterparts.

If you crave fiery flavours, our Lamb Vindaloo is your go-to dish. This spiced-up classic features tender lamb infused with onion, garlic, tomato pulp, curry, vinegar, and a hefty kick of chili powder. Every bite offers a powerful taste experience, guaranteed to delight those who appreciate bold and intense flavours.

Those seeking vegetarian Indian food will adore our Chana Masala. In this popular dish, our chefs combine chickpeas, onions, tomatoes, coriander, cumin, and curry powder, finished with a splash of fresh lemon. Paired with our fluffy Jasmine Steamed Rice, it makes for a hearty and satisfying vegetarian delight.

Our Indian Butter Prawns offer a delightful twist on the traditional chicken version, combining creamy, spicy, and subtly sweet flavors. Juicy prawns are marinated in a rich, tomato-based sauce with yogurt, garam masala, and a hint of chili and turmeric. Fresh lime and coriander add a zingy twist, while the ground cashews and fenugreek leaves beautifully round out this delicious dish.

While TemptAsian is celebrated as one of the best Indian restaurants in Malta, the beauty of dining with us is that you don’t have to limit yourself to just Indian cuisine.

Why not mix and match dishes from across the Asian continent for a truly immersive culinary journey? Our set menus offer a curated selection of our most popular dishes, each course carefully chosen to complement the others.
