Jerry, and the rest of the restaurants team of waiters and waitresses make a truly fabulous experience for a lovely evening. The restaurant chefs pay close attention to detail and spare no time in making each dish super special..
Needless to say the location is the icing on the cake.
Well done to you for making a great dining experience.

Wonderful Indian food served in an idyllic setting. Views of sunset and over the bay are breathtaking. Staff were attentive, professional and friendly. We will definitely return as one of best Indian meals ever had.

This restaurant is located in one of the Towers of the Radisson Blu Golden Sands resort. We stayed here whilst in Malta and I would recommend coming to this restaurant. We could have tolerated more spice but it was still very tasty food. The chef came out to speak to the guests which was really nice. We came for an evening dinner on the terrace with our two young children and even they loved the lamb and chicken tikka. Book in advance online to secure a table. We noticed some locals come to dine here too. It is expensive but portions are big. Very nice options across the menu.
