Maharaja

Tucked away on The Strand in Sliema, Maharaja has earned its reputation as a go-to spot for authentic Indian cuisine in Malta. The restaurant’s charm lies in its unpretentious setting and attentive service, where every dish feels like a labour of love. I tried the best momos out of Nepal, they are really like in Nepal and loved them.

The menu offers a range of options to suit every palate, from hearty mains like beef madraz to lighter bites such as poppadoms rice crackers, all priced between €5 and £15 per head. Vegetarians are well catered for, and the restaurant’s thoughtful touches—such as nut-free meal options—ensure everyone feels welcome. Whether dining indoors or al fresco, Maharaja delivers a warm and satisfying experience. Travellers basing themselves nearby often pair a visit with one of the hotels in Malta close to Gzira, making it an easy addition to an evening out.
