Are you looking for Indian restaurant in Malta? At Indian Harvest, our menu is long, and we’re proud of that. It’s also the first thing guests ask us about. Do you start with a dosa or a samosa? Is biryani a starter or a main? Which curry suits your spice level?

Our food is inspired from India and a mix of Malabari, North Indian, Arabian & Mediterranean cuisines with a good amount of Kerala in everything we cook. That’s the range. That’s why the menu feels so big. This is how to get around, when it’s your first or fifth time visiting.

Shall we go through this now?

Gobi 65 is a good opening move. These golden battered cauliflower florets are marinated with yoghurt, curry leaves and chilli, and they go well with a hot or cold drink.

For something classic, order the Veg. Samosa or the Paneer Pakora. The pakora is cottage cheese coated in a spiced besan and rice batter.

If you eat meat or seafood, the Indian Harvest Prawns Fry is lightly fried and marinated in Indian spices. The Beef Dragon, with crispy beef strips in a sweet chilli glaze with bell peppers and cashews, is a good choice if you like a sweet-and-spicy hit.

On a cooler evening, our Lentil Soup is hearty and warming, and the Chicken Soup is made with celery, butter and aromatic seasonings.

Our Dosa Harvest section is a good place to start if you haven’t tried South Indian food. Dosa is a thin, crisp crepe made from rice and lentils. It comes with chutney and sambar for dipping.

  • Plain Dosa or Ghee Roast: simple and golden. The ghee roast is richer and extra crisp.
  • Masala Dosa: the classic, filled with spiced potato masala.
  • Mysore Dosa: filled with red chutney, root vegetables and cheese.
  • Paneer Burji Dosa: stuffed with spiced Indian cottage cheese.
  • Chicken Tikka Dosa or Lamb Keema Dosa: for a heartier meal.

If you’d like something thicker and softer, try the Masala Uthappam, a rice pancake topped with fresh vegetables.

When looking for the grill options, our tandoor turns out smoky, tender dishes, all marinated in yoghurt, garlic, ginger and spices.

  • Paneer Tikka: char-grilled cottage cheese in spiced yoghurt and herbs.
  • Malai Chicken Tikka: a milder, creamy marinade with yoghurt, cheese and ginger-garlic.
  • Chicken Tikka: a smoky, tomato-based marinade finished with butter.
  • Tandoori Chicken: juicy thighs with yoghurt, lemon and aromatic spices, available as a half or full portion.
  • Grilled Fish: delicately spiced and served with bread and salad.

Our Curry Corner has something for every spice tolerance.

If you like it mild and creamy:

Butter Chicken: rich and silky, in a creamy tomato and butter sauce.

Paneer Butter Masala: a velvety tomato-cashew sauce with soft cottage cheese.

Korma: mild and creamy with nuts. Choose veg, paneer or chicken.

If you like something spicy and bold:

Vindaloo (Chicken or Pork): a tangy, spicy Goan-style curry with vinegar, mustard and dry red chilli.

Beef Pepper Fry: beef with freshly ground black pepper and a medley of spices.

Kadai: wok-cooked in roasted kadai masala. Choose veg, paneer or chicken.

If you want a taste of Kerala:

Coconut Fish Curry: tangy and cooked in a smooth coconut milk gravy.

Prawns Mappas: juicy prawns in a rich, spiced coconut-milk sauce.

Roast (Chicken, Pork, Beef or Lamb): tender meat roasted and simmered in a coconut-milk curry. Pick your protein.

Our Biryani Harvest section is a meal on its own. Select veg, egg, chicken, beef, lamb or prawn. The Lamb Biryani is ever favorite.

Kerala Specialties: try the Paal Porotta Beef or Kappa Biryani for something you won’t find at many restaurants in Malta.

Breads and Sides: Pair your curry with Garlic Naan or Kerala Porotta, add Jeera Rice, and cool things down with a Raita.

Dessert: Finish with Gulab Jamun or Carrot Halwa.
