It's a little taste of India in the North of Malta.
Except in fact it's a pretty giant taste of India, but you will hear no complaints from me on that score.
It was low season when we visited, and so the place was sparsely populated and service accordingly prompt and courteous.
It is fair to say that Aphrodite did not manage to grab a primo piece of real estate on which to open their restaurant.
Rather than trying to describe it's location, probably easier to just show you on this map:
This is a Greek/Turkish/Calabrian restaurant located on Mdina's main street near
the cathedral. (In case you're wondering, Calabria forms the "toe" of Italy's distinctively leg and boot shaped country. If you are not familiar with Turkey or Greece then you should probably stick to Burger King for now).
We got there before seven, which turned out to be too early, as they weren't open. Not only that but there were no signs in evidence, meaning that we wandered up and down the street a few times in ever more irritated fashion until they decided to open up for business.
There are a lot of restaurants and cafes in Bugibba serving up standard fare and sea views for lunch and dinner. Nothing wrong with that of course - when you visit a hot country it's nice to be able to enjoy your steak and chips al fresco, with the sun on your back.
However, if you want to try some real Maltese cuisine while you're out here, (like the rabbit in the photo above), you might want to check out Malet restaurant on St Simon's Street instead.
