A masala curry is a staple at any Indian restaurant in Malta and beyond, and our Pork Butter Masala offers a unique twist. Tender pork is spiced with cumin, onions, tomato paste, garam masala, coriander, and lime juice, creating a rich, creamy delight. Pair it with our Kashmir Aromatic Rice, infused with turmeric, raisins, star anise, fried onions, and toasted almonds for one satisfying meal.

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.

Chana Masala

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.

Indian Butter Prawns

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.
