The shrimp and lamb were delicious and tasted very warm and homemade. Don’t skip on dessert, the corn cake was very good with some of the freshest ice cream I’ve had. The service was also really good, I recommend this place for a casual dinner!

My boyfriend and I are visiting from Portland, OR, and the friends we're staying with pointed us in the direction of Maloya. Our meal was absolutely superb. From the moment we sat down until the moment we walked out the door, we enjoyed our experience. The food was excellent and the service was personal. We got the appetizer platter (don't skip the salt cod fritters) and the braised lamb, which was spiced and cooked to perfection. We wrapped up our meal with a pineapple corn cake situation topped with homemade ice cream. I would have uploaded photos, but we demolished our food before I got the chance. Maloya is certainly in the top 3 meals of our trip.

Giving this place 5 stars for the FOOD - everything we got was tasty but also quite unique and memorable French creole cuisine. We loved the samosa app dish, and the pork belly / coconut shrimp entree. The food legit took over an hr to be served which given there weren’t that many other tables busy was really a excess long time

I held my daughter’s baby shower here. Samuel exceeded my expectations! The food was served family style at every table and it kept coming till everyone was totally full. The staff walked around with Mimosas and soft drinks so effectively no one had to ask for a drink. I highly recommend Maloya for dinner Or a special occasion you may want to celebrate. You will be pleased!

Maloya was my chosen spot for a birthday gathering for me and my party of 8. We called in advance for a reservation with no trouble and got seated right away once we arrived.
The interior of the restaurant transports you to Reunion Island, away from the hustle and bustle of NYC! The walls are adorned with landscapes of islands and mountains that you can find in the vicinity of said island which added to its calm and soothing ambiance.
Service-wise, the restaurant seemed a little understaffed as it took about 20-30mins to get our orders taken, with waters following soon after. We ordered drinks first and then food, a bit worried that our large order would be taking some time. However, we were pleasantly surprised to have our food and drink served not too long after placing our order. Unfortunately they were out of the pork belly and the stewed beef dish.
The appetizers and entrees were all delicious! We got one of each appetizer, the shrimp, swordfish, sausage, and lamb leg entrees. The swordfish was nothing short of fantastic, with great flavor and savoriness. The sausage and shrimp were tasty as well, with the sausage having a mild yet deep flavor. The lamb leg sauce was yummy as well, but the meat proved to be a little tough and overcooked. Appetizers were delightful as well holding perfect crisp and crunch. A small note is that the entrees could have been a bit hotter, as they were near cool when they arrived at our table.
Overall, while my party and I enjoyed the food and atmosphere, I think this place is more suited for small parties as the portions are not exactly family style. I recommend this as a good date night spot or even a quick stop in for some nice cocktails!
What a find! Incredible flavors from La Reunion. A true gem. Grab a seat at the bar and transport thyself.

I wasn’t familiar with a lot of the dishes on the menu, but I decided to take a chance, and I’m so glad I did! Everything I tried was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. You can tell the food is made with care and tradition. The spices, the textures, the bold flavors, it all came together perfectly. Whether you’re new to Creole cuisine or a longtime fan, this place is worth checking out. I’ll definitely be coming back!
