Mali Restaurant: Experience Authentic Thai and Sushi Delights in Atlanta

Our church women's ministry group wanted to host a year end dinner and we chose Mali and they did not disappoint! From accommodations of the number of guest, to a customize menu, to great service, tasty food, and great drink drinks. It was an excellent evening and a wonderful choice for our group. . We were able to sit downstairs in the large dining section, and everyone was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was from the appetizers to the main meals . Cherry, helped us with accommodations and we are grateful. Many of the ladies states that they definitely will return again soon.

had such a great dinner here this weekend. we got a bunch of different rolls, edamame, spring rolls, and pad thai. everything was delicious! i looooved the pad thai omg. the workers are all super friendly and great.

Mali doesn't disappoint! I have been there a few times now and each time is a nice experience. The food is fresh and authentically spiced, and the service is always good. This is one of the few restaurants which serves Thai food that will actually make my curry "Thai hot" when I order it that way, so kudos to them!

I went here yesterday July6,2023 this is my favorite Thai restaurant in Atlanta in the Virginia Highland area, I always get the same thing because it's so delicious always excellent service, food is always good and hot.

I could eat Thai food every day! But, on this particular evening, both Thai and sushi sounded like a great idea for dinner and I really wanted a Lychee Martini. After searching Delta Skymiles Dining, I saw that Mali was listed as an eligible restaurant ( 3miles/$1 spent). So, of to Virginia Highlands my husband and I went. Even though I made a reservation, it wasn't needed as the restaurant offered enough room for everyone. They have a nice covered patio, bar seating and, standard inside tables. Just note that due to the fresh ingredients for the sushi, there is a faint smell of fish. So, if sensitive to smell, you might want to sit outside. Kevin was our server for the evening and he provided great standard service. For food we ordered: Thai Basil fried rice with chicken ( not on menu) Spring rolls Shrimp tempura roll Everything was delicious! The Thai Basil rice had huge ingredients in it. I wish I would have known to therefore ask for the chicken to be diced more. However, no complaints about the taste at all. I didn't care for the Peanut based sauce that came with the Spring Rolls but, that's my personal preference.

Booked ta reservation for February 14th for 2 people. We arrived and their was free parking in the rear. The opening of the parking was a little confusing but not too hard to find once you turn around. We were greeted and sat immediately. The first drink that was ordered was brought out very quickly. After that the service did slow down but not enough to cause a concern. The sushi was a nice size and delicious, would recommend. The set up of the place was interesting, their was missing paint on the wall but overall a nice place. There's enough room between tables to not feel crowded but also a lot of seating options.

I dined here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and had a good experience. The restaurant was busier than I expected, but we still were seated immediately and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the red curry chicken, and it had great flavor. It's a bit spicy (listed with two peppers on the menu), but I thought it was the perfect amount of spice and flavor. It could've had a bit more chicken or vegetables, but overall it was a reasonable lunch portion. The service was pretty good, but I found it odd that they assumed we were good with sitting at the bar as they were seating us. Sitting at the bar was fine, but they did seem to have a few open tables. The dining area was a bit crammed/crowded, but overall the atmosphere was good.

I am always nervous when two cuisines are under one roof... Thai and Sushi. Mail does it right! The staff are very attentive and the restaurant is beautiful. There's an upstairs, a mainish floor and a patio. Interestingly, there are restrooms on the floor just away from the host station AND some located on the upstairs/bar floor. Very well thought out! I started with the coconut chicken soup- it had an aggressive lime background flavor. I followed that with a shrimp tempura roll minus the mayo and ended with the panang shrimp. All three were well spiced and full of flavor and beautifully plated. The shrimp in the panang was slightly over cooked causing it to be chewy. It was still edible but a little off putting. My glass of water was constantly filled and on a rainy day, the well lit room added to a wonderful meal.
