The food of is amazing! Every dish has so much flavor, color, and texture. We loved all of the use of seasonal produce. The... service was casual, but super friendly. We will go back for sure! Read more
The food was amazing. I had the Medusa, the Wind-up Merchant, and the Space Helmet. Each of them delighted my taste buds as new... flavor combinations danced through my mouth. On top of that the food was elegantly prepared and vibrantly colored. All of thestaff I interacted with were super friendly and made the experience truly unforgettable! I will be back next time I'm inPortland. Read more
The staff, the decor, and of course THE FOOD were all wonderful! Our server was so enthusiastic about each dish and could... rattle off each nuance in them like the back of his hand. The plating was artistic and stunning! The Curry Ramen Bolognese wasperhaps one of the most delicious fusions of my two favorite cuisines! The pricing of the menu, including the built ingratuity, was an incredible value for the meal we had and we all left very full and satisfied. I highly recommend this placeand will be back! Read more
I have to take pause because I could write a whole love letter for Malka. The dishes that come out of this kitchen make this... restaurant sit firmly in the top 5 of all time, which is a tall order given my affinity for Southeast Asian foods. I’ll keepit brief. Do the prix fixe. It’s a lot of food, but you can take it home. Eating in person is a far better experience thaneating at home, which I also think is phenomenal. If I was to pick one dish to write a song for, it would be the Bellflower, abeautiful and delicious medley of sweet, savory, crunchy, tart, and overall delicious ingredients that seems a bit confusedbefore it all comes together. Also try the Jolene, Medusa, Rhododendron Garden, 45th and Clay, and I Have a Lot of Feelings(basically the rice version of Bellflower). Enjoy!!! Read more
Beautiful food and amazing, gregarious staff. With seating within and outside of a beautifully house located on a nice, cozy... street; Malka is an amazing dining option. While we didn't have any of the salads (4:30PM and after), the entrees had plenty ofveggies to sate our appetites for greens. I'll leave the pictures to do most of the talking. Delicious food and friendly, upbeatservice. I only wish I had discovered it sooner. Read more
I think what makes Malka so good is their focus on the bold flavours in their food. We were really impressed with what we... ordered. The portions were big and beautifully presented. Definitely a must try in Portland. Read more
This place has been on my bucket list. They have a lot of options for gluten-free and vegan. At the same time, satisfying my... husband with slow-roasted pork. We ordered from the three-course menu. For the first course, we got the Medusa and OldDeuteronomy. For the second course, we got the Bellflower and Wind-Up Merchant. For the last course, we got the I Have a Lot ofFeelings and the Important Helmet for Outer Space, 2nd Ed. Every bite was emersed with flavor. We will be back :) Read more
