Kohinoor

Perched on Marina Street in Marsalforn, Kohinoor has earned its 4.4-star rating from 360 discerning diners, a testament to its unique fusion of Indian and Mediterranean cuisines. As the sun dips low over the harbour, the restaurant’s limestone walls glow, and the rhythmic waves lap just metres away, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive—where the scent of sea salt mingles with the promise of spice.

Diners here often linger over dishes like butter chicken (€12) or grilled octopus (€10), drawn to the dual kitchens that masterfully blend这两种 traditions. As one guest noted, “Food, location and service are all top notch,” and with wine and beer flowing, it’s a place where couples toast to the view, families share plates, and solo diners savour the solitude. The prices, too, are refreshingly modest—€5-15 per head—making it accessible without sacrificing quality.

For a truly memorable lunch in Gozo, Kohinoor is a must-book, especially given its limited hours. Tucked away in Żebbuġ’s seaside charm, it’s a short stroll from the harbour, yet feels worlds apart. Reserve ahead to secure a table by the water—this is, quite simply, one of Malta’s most distinctive dining experiences. It's a natural stop for anyone exploring restaurants in Zebbug alongside the island's wider indian, mediterranean dining scene.
