Mala is yet another Indian eatery on London's dining scene. What makes this one rather different is that it is located at 2, Marble Quay, and therefore benefits from a fine view across the marina, making it a really relaxed setting. They serve traditional cuisine from the subcontinent and are considered to deliver good value for money. Besides the usual a la carte, the restaurant has set meals including their 'thali', which apart from saving you the trouble of selecting individual dishes, also allows you to sample an array of tasty fare.

They present the usual Indian roti basket of tandoori and roasted naan breads and rice preparations, besides meat and vegetarian specials. The house speciality lamb buzkaki has tender meat cooked in exotic herbs, dark rum and a medium spicy sauce.

Efficient service and an amicable ambience make this an interesting destination for business lunches or unwinding after work.
