On our trip to Maui, we went here twice for dinner since it was soo good the first time! Our waitress was on time, our food hot, and she was friendly and open and we chatted for a little while! The views are breathtaking, it sits right on the water looking out on all the docked boats. When it gets... More

We went to Ma'la's for Sunday brunch. We didn't have a reservation, but we were first in line. We were seated outside with a great view of the ocean. I ordered the hollandaise eggs with lamb sausage (I believe they make the sausage in house). My husband ordered the killer french toast. Both were excellent choices. Our food was served... More

Some years ago we tried Mala and were not impressed. What a difference time makes. We went to this restaurant to celebrate our grandson's birthday on the recommendation of Captain Jeff of Trilogy.. Our experience at Mala was wonderful. Jeff recommended the ahi bruschetta, which was great. I love calamari, and the calamari appetizer was one of the best I've... More

We were celebrating my son's first birthday and wanted somewhere special. We sat on the patio, the view was fantastic. We had the ahi bruschetta, the calamari, and the four dips to start. We all had salads and entrees. We shared the house dessert. The portions were big, the food was all fresh and absolutely delicious. The food was light,... More

Ma'La is at the north end of Front Street in Lahaina, Maui. When you first drive by you think it might be another dive equipment rental place on the beach. Inside is a very quaint (small) restaurant and bar area. But the view is worth a million. Ma'la sits right on the water with views of Molokai and Lanai. Weekends... More

We chose Ma'la to celebrate a birthday dinner while visiting Lahaina. I must say, we were quite pleased with our decision! We sat outside on the covered porch and watched a beautiful sunset complete with sailboats and sea turtles. Very hard to beat! The prices were very high, but when we received our food the amount and quality seemed to... More

Small place right on the water in Lahina. Turtles poke their heads out of the water as you eat dinner and watch the sun set over the water. Its very low key. Prices were expensive but portions were in line. Fantastic food.

Mala Ocean Tavern is a wonderful (and tiny) seaside restaurant in Lahaina Town. Forget your preconceived notions about Lahaina being too touristy and not worthy of a stop for a foodie- this place is delightful and provided one of the best food experiences we had on Maui. Perched on the beach a few feet from the water Mala offers incredible... More

We have eaten dinner here 5 times over 2 years. Each dinner was wonderful. Most recently we split the Avalon Tuna and the Manilla clams. Wow - both were brilliant. Service was very good, we have managed to sit outside 4 of the 5 times which is an added bonus.
