    *Get a Kebab instead* Total Ripoff, got things we thought were for free and did not order and payed over 50 bucks for it. Get a Döner Kebab instead! Personnel gets agressive and is not competent at all!

  • 2/5 Vanes K. 1 year ago on Google
    Communication is very difficult if you don’t speak spanish, waiting time is long (40mins in our case) and the food is oily and quite tasteless especially the fried squid. You can easily find a better place in town.

  • 4/5 V L. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is okay and well priced, the place was filled with locals, the only bad thing is that they didn't have paella as advertised

    Good price and variety in the menu at lunch. Everything is prepared on the day and it all looks homemade.

  • 5/5 Amberose H. 9 months ago on Google
    In the heart of Malaga's city centre, there's a tapas restaurant called Los Marfiles. It offers great value for money, with tapas starting from €2.5. The service is also excellent, and the menu is available in English. Moreover, dining at this restaurant comes with the added charm of little birds hopping around, eagerly awaiting food. It's not uncommon to witness the entertaining sight of sparrows trying to snatch some fries. The fries are even bigger than the sparrows themselves, making it quite a spectacle. Just the opportunity to observe the birds is worth a visit. I highly recommend it! 🦀 Seafood Salad This dish is refreshingly light, not overly sour, with a tomato-based dressing that provides plenty of juice. 🍖 Chilled Soup with Ham In addition to the ham, it also includes tuna and a half-boiled egg. The soup has a thick and creamy texture, typical of Western-style soups. It's quite rich, yet refreshing, and pairs perfectly with bread. 🍲 Slow-cooked Pork Knuckle with Chickpeas This dish is incredibly delicious and a must-try! The pork knuckle is tender and melt-in-your-mouth, and the chickpeas are flavorful. It also features Spanish chorizo, which adds an extraordinary taste. It's simply superb! 🐌 Curry Snails These snails have a Moroccan-style influence rather than the traditional French garlic and herb style. The sauce is curry-based, with a rich and aromatic flavor. The snails are picked out with toothpicks, similar to eating escargots. 🍡 Meatballs These meatballs are not particularly tasty, and I wouldn't recommend them. They have an excessive amount of breadcrumbs, resulting in a gritty texture when eating. 🦐 Boiling Shrimp (Gambas al Ajillo) When served, the shrimp are still bubbling in the sizzling garlic and olive oil sauce. The shrimp are fresh, and the combination of garlic and olive oil enhances their natural sweetness. You won't be able to stop eating them. My friend even packed some to take back to the UK. 🍳+🍟 Foie Gras and Soft-Boiled Egg with Iberian Ham (Huevos Rotos) This dish comes in a generous portion, with fries as the base. The correct way to eat it is to mix everything together and enjoy it with the fries. It's called "Huevos Rotos" or "Broken Eggs" in English, emphasizing the act of mixing. ('・ω・') However, I was already quite full at that point, so I didn't eat the fries. I only had the toppings. ✨ The foie gras spread is huge, and just that alone makes it worth it. It's not at all fishy, rather slightly sweet and very delicious. 🥓 They also serve a generous amount of Iberian ham. In other places, this ham would cost at least €10. 🍗 Braised Chicken Leg The chicken leg meat is tender and cooked with Spanish spices, carrots, and bell peppers. 🦐 Grilled Noodles with Shrimp By this point, I was already in a state of food coma. The dish is best enjoyed when dipping the noodles in the sauce. 💶 Average price per person: €28 (Actually, the dishes we ordered were enough for three people, and we had a lot of leftovers.)

    The staff are brilliant do friendly and attentive. We had goat cheese salad which was wonderful. Unfortunately the meatballs were too salty for us and couldn't taste almond, hence 3 stars. We would return for the salad and brilliant staff but would choose a different main dish

  • 5/5 sigouk 1. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic. Had lunch at this restaurant thanks to a recommendation of someone based in the area... I had one of Malaga's typical plate as a starter which is Gazpachuelo and then as a main I went for fried calamari, both of them splendid. So, i thought it deserved to be well reviewed. That's a 9.5 out of 10...i don't believe in perfection.

    We waited for 2 1/2 hours and then got told that our food wasn’t available anymore, then when we wanted to pay the drinks we ordered we were told to pay more than we actually had to. Never gonna go here again, spend your time elsewhere!!!
