We thoroughly enjoyed our time enjoying all the food. We appreciate the receptionist who went the extra mile to find a better table for us to accommodate my daughter who has special needs and couldn’t fit in a high chair anymore. It’s our second time and we look forward to our next delicious meal here again!

Mala needs to spruce up its facility. One waiter only. Poor guy running whole Place. He was very nice and as quick as possible. Terrible lighting and heat was lacking on a cold night. Kinda sad since the food was very good. Dark and cold last night.

Had a special dinner with our son and daughter-in-law, with the counter experience. We were able to enjoy over a dozen dishes, from snacks, appetizers, main entrees and dessert. All at the counter watching the cooks. We added wine pairing. They treated us as special guests and saw to all our needs. Wonderful dinner!
