Malakite Restaurant

Indian restaurant

👍👍 Where is the option for the 6th star? 😊 We had a lovely Indian meal at Malakite. Chef Ahmed Hindi is fantastic, he came to speak with us and cooked a wonderful meal for us (daal makhani, chicken tandoori, samosas). The staff is wonderful and made the whole experience memorable. People often mention Indian, Ahmed, Chef, service, chef, great, good, staff, Great, nice,

    Amazing place for vegan food. They have a good selection and are very nice to adopt. We had the dish with okra vegetable. This was the first time I tried it also. With the combination of Indian spices, it has been delicious. The chef Ahmed Hindi personally delivered the food to our table which was a pleasant surprise. He helped with the vegan menu as well. This was a very nice gesture and shows their commitment to good service and customers. Very high recommendations for Malakite Restaurant. I am looking forward to coming back again ❤

    Great service and wonderful food. The chef really is as nice as other reviews say and he does indeed understand the difference between vegetarian and vegan. A gem in a city where being vegan means you start looking for a dinner place at 3pm and finally find one at 7pm. Thanks for existing!

    Delicious selection of authentic Indian and Oriental dishes, cooked to perfection. A nice patio to enjoy a meal by the water and enjoy the sunset along the backdrop of the Alexandrian coast. The service was amazing and the chef and general manager ensured complete satisfaction.

    Top-notch service as soon as you walk in through their doors. We were seated right near the gorgeous Mediterranean sea and given the Indian and Asian menus. We decided to go with Indian. The food was just spectacular, we had Samosas, Naan, Basmati Rice, a veggie plate with Okra and Cashew chicken. We were served directly by the chef himself Ahmed “Hindi”, who explained every dish in detail and spoke great English. Also a great place for vegans and vegetarians. HIGHLY recommend.

    Great location to relax and the food is superb. I ordered the sabzi biryani and punjabi samosas. Excellent for vegan / vegetarians and good value for money. Chef Ahmed was welcoming and catered for my dietary requirements.

    Great experience, try it with no second thoughts. Also; I absolutely liked potatoes with curry, nutty rice, apple sauce, chicken dishes and mushroom soup. Thank you Chef Ahmed for the extraordinary recommendations and the warm hospitality.

    This is the best Indian and Asian restaurant in Alexandria. Great view, great service and amazing food. We had the Sikh Kebab which was probably the best Indian kofta in Egypt, served with rice, sweet and sour chicken, and to-die-for vegetable noodles. Even the fresh juice was delicious. Will definitely go again and soon.

    Great Indian style food. Super tasty dishes!! Chef Ahmad came to our table made jokes with us, he was very kind and professional. Service stuff I can say the best on Gleem Bay! Reasonable prizes and relaxing sea view.

    Food is more than amazing!!! I ordered butter chicken and I didn’t like it and the chef came to me to ask me what I didn’t like and he made me a new plate with all of my recommendations just to make me happy!!! This is one of the best places I’ve ever tried for Asian food! Highly recommended!

    We ordered Prawn Biryani, Dhal, white rice and some veg spring rolls. The prawn Biryani was very bland but had a fair amount of prawns. The dhal was very salty and the white rice was very bland. The best part were the spring rolls. The fresh lemonade was also nice but very sweet, good for taste but bad for health. Personally, I will not be eating here again. Indian food is supposed to be full of spices and taste.. unfortunately this was too bland yet salty. Although, the Biryani needed salt.

    Not Indian food. We ordered aloo jeera but got a soup turmeric curry. Also the naan and paneer kulcha felt frozen and not fresh. To add to the bad food the service for extremely poor and everything had to be requested multiple times. Lastly they gave us a bill with items we didn’t order and was way more than our actual bill. On asking the waiter to translate he immediately said it’s the wrong bill and gave the right one. AVOID the restaurant

    Chef Ahmed Hindi outdoes himself here with wonderful Indian dishes with an Egyptian flair. The mixed grill and Tandoori lamb chops were excellent, with great raita, yellow rice and a bit of fried onions for local flair. The mint chutney was extra special: I don’t know why it was so good but I don’t care! Fresh salad sides are a nice touch.
