Like all restaurants which overlook directly on the beach in Cyprus, the Malindi enjoys this highly appreciable location of the only cool place, in summer. The beach where it is located is particularly pleasant for its very fine sand and its seaside facilities. The environment overlooking the marina is enchanting. Malindi proper is surrounded by beautiful, well-kept gardens which are wonderfully lit at night. The restaurant space overlooks the beach outside and opens onto a large room through a bay window on the front, articulated by fine woodwork. The place is quiet, very accessible by the paths set up to reach the beaches from the hotels or housing complexes. At night, the restaurant is distinguished by the lighting of these gardens and then by the colored lights, without being aggressive, of the restaurant itself. A number of friendly waiters work quickly and competently to advise you according to your tastes. We ate paella and fish, which were succulent: perfectly cooked, well-balanced ingredients, very fresh seafood. Everything is perfect in the kitchen and in the dining room. We chose this place at the marina of Pareklisia (Pyrgos) to travel between natural wonders (white rocks of White rocks and White stones...) and cultural wonders: archaeological site of Amathonte nearby, archaeological museum in Limassol. For our budget, however, the Malindi restaurant is expensive; this was an expensive exception. At this price, you could choose a certified gourmet restaurant instead. But the attraction of this beach was irresistible at that moment.

I feel compelled to write a review given that we visit Malindi for lunch at least 3/4 times on each visit to Cyprus (Easter/Summer/October)! The service is always consistently excellent and the food is of a good standard. I am fed up of eating sub standard food at London prices throughout Cyprus, however Malindi is always of great quality and you are eating tasty and well cooked food that isn’t just heated up five minutes before. An amazing sunset is generally thrown in for free. And their sun beds are only €2.50 which given I have been charged in the region of €50 in cyprus, they are the best value on the island. Enjoy :)

Nice beach side restaurant. But outside lighting for evenings isn’t great. We moved tables but it wasn’t much better. Service was great when we first arrived but after our meal we waited ages to have our plates taken away and get the dessert menu - it wasn’t even busy so not sure why! This restaurant is part of the same group as the big Chester’s bar and restaurant on the nearby main road. Much of the menu is the same, but a few more fishy choices here. It’s quite pricey for what it is.

I was a frequent visitor of Malindi but the last two times I have visited the restaurant, the service was TERRIBLE. The food was good as always but the waiters/ waitresses have no idea how to serve people, even some of them do not speak fluent Greek or English making it very difficult to communicate with them. It took them almost 40' to bring us the drinks and over an hour for the food.

Dear Guest, we are very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your last visit to our restaurant. We are doing our best to train our staff, and will continue working on it. Lately it has been quite the issue in the hospitality industry with finding experienced staff as locals aren’t really interested in doing this job. We thank you for your feedback and promise to continue our best to have the service run smoothly. And since you have been our customer for a period of time perhaps you will give us another chance and see that things are improving.

Came here for late lunch as we have been here on numerous occasions in the past. First impressions were good no real change, a lovely location by the beach, though this was a false dawn. Once we received our menu's we quickly noticed the hike in prices not to mention that are menu's had differing prices on one of our ordered items, though the waiter said they would honour the lower price. Overall the service was average at best but very slow. Our order took almost half an hour which is absurd for what we ordered. Speaking of which, on a positive note the Greek salad was very well prepared and was a good size. The chicken kebab was decent though the burger was very dry and the cheese and lettuce nothing more than an afterthought. This was served with no sauce in the burger hence adding to the dry feel. The milkshakes (which were overpriced) were not cold and were lacking in flavour. When we asked for the bill we also noticed they had charged us the higher price for the item which had 2 prices even though we were told the opposite by the waiter when we ordered. Conveniently he was nowhere to be seen when we paid. I made it clear we were not happy and based on this experience I no longer recommend this place and will not be returning for the foreseeable future.

Very poor experience and staff not trained. Staff lacks knowledge of the menu as we had 5 waiters come to our table to take our order. The staff kept coming back for clarifying questions about our order and we had to keep chasing for our drinks. Not coming back again

I am a regular customer at Malindi and I always take the Mongolian Pork Chop, which is one of my favourite dishes. Yesterday, I went to Malindi and ordered it again, however this time the waitress who took the order (a very pleasant person) probably misheard and wrote down simply Pork Chop. When she repeated the order, I did not pay attention to make sure that she wrote Mongolian Pork chop (it was also my fault for not checking the order with the waitress). The food arrives and I see the regular pork chop instead of the mongolian. I tell them that I ordered the Mongolian, they take the pork chop from the table and to the manager. Then the Manager comes to our table and tells me in an AGGRESIVE way that it was MY FAULT for not checking with the waitress to make sure that I ordered the right thing. He was clearly unprofessional and even though he told me he could bring me the Mongolian pork chop in 20 minutes, I lost my appetite with his behaviour and did not order anything. Overall if you think about it, the Manager made a scene for a plate that costs the restaurant 5 EUROS MAX, taking into account that the specific restaurant makes gross profit €2,000-3,000 per day, the manager should have gone in the kitchen and place a new order without even coming to me with this bad attitude. I have been to Malindi around 20 times so far and after yesterday's incident with the 'manager' I am not going back.

Great food, great service in a relaxed atmosphere, and a wonderful Cypriot wine. Highly recommended for lunch. We returned here several times during our week in the area as it had far more personality than the tourist hotel restaurants (which are way overpriced!)

Probably the best seafood I have ever eaten. Delicious squid rissoto, feta shrimps perfectly seasoned. But it was the main courses that exceeded our expectations - sea bass perfectly juicy, with delicious filling; And a piece of roast meat melts in the mouth. An extremely polite waiter said that the marinade consists of 20 ingredients !. I recommend to all who want to eat well in Cyprus, we will definitely come back :)

We visit here when we come to Cyprus to see family. The beach location is great but the menu hasn't changed for years. 3 years ago I changed from a vegetarian to a vegan diet. Being veggie in cyprus was challenging enough at times, but being vegan is still more difficult than it should be these days & especially in places like Melindi where there are absolutely no vegan options on the menu. I had to order a salad with the halloumi on the side (they wouldn't swap it out) & then pay etc for some plant based protein (an extra euro for some quinoa?!?!) - this did not seem very accommodating or customer focused and frankly felt really mean spirited. Come on Melindi, the world is changing. This is not about fussy eaters, this is about our planet. Ditch your live lobster tanks & get some plant based options on your menu. Seashells restaurant around the corner can give you some inspiration.

Dear Guest, We thank you for visiting our restaurant and leaving us your review. It is true, being a seafood orientated restaurant located by the sea - vegetarian dishes are not our main focus. However, having read your comments we went through the trouble of checking on it, and throughout the whole menu (including breakfast menu) we have 41 vegetarian dishes, 9 of which are vegan, and a few more can be modified to suit vegan diet by requesting to take out ingredients such as cheese. Also, we are happy to let you know that our menu was refreshed in June this year, with some dishes taken out and some new ones added. What we hear from your review is that vegetarian options in our menu are not too clear, to be singled out easily by customers with specific diet. We are happy to inform you that we have already taken action and created a separate menu with all our vegetarian & vegan dishes available via QR code.

Lovely beach bar and restaurant. Excellent service, I booked a table in the morning for the same evening. The table was right at the front of the restaurant overlooking the beach and perfect to watch the sunset. When we placed our order we were told we had probably ordered too much, so refreshing to not have a business take your money! Ovi (I think) our waiter was very friendly and certainly knew the menu. The food was fabulous, the crispy small shrimp were delicious. We ordered the shrimp Orzo for main, we were told it was a new addition to the menu, it was soo good, the orzo melted in your mouth and the langoustine were so fresh and tasty it’s making my mouth water thinking about it to write this review. Well worth a visit.

Oh dear, not what we are used to from this well established restaurant. (Part of uptown group) Usually the calamari is excellent. However, on this visit it was very chewy. After explaining, the dish was taken back and a new one brought in a few minutes. Not much different. The waiter said that it was out of their control as they never know the quality as it’s frozen. He went on to say it’s best frozen as the fibres are broken down and makes softer. He said next time order the fresh calamari !!!!!! Oh, and please please put something on the bottom of the chairs. For years we have been coming and get reminded of the dreadful noise when the chair is moved. Each time I come and get reminded why we don’t come more often. There must be a solution to the spine chilling screech.

Dear Guest, thank you for your review! Please check your inbox for some comments. Regarding the chairs we are aware of the issue and they already do have special plastic "bits" to minimize the noise. However, you are right, and it is unpleasant to hear. The owner and restaurant management have been alerted to the problem and we will address the issue once again and, hopefully, find a better solution. Sincere regards,

I went there earlier today for lunch . I had an excellent experience regarding the quality of the environment, the quality of the food , the reasonable prices and above all, the quality of the general atmosphere among the personnel which was reflected on the quality of service !! The waiters were all smiling and they were having good communication and collaboration between each other . I assume that the general management of the place is doing a good job regarding the respect upon their employees... So, i would like to thank Malindi's people for all their good vibes !! I would definitely visit Malindi again and again , for sure !! Thank you once more !!!

Malindi Restaurant is situated on a beach with a simple beauty and a mini bay which calls me back time after time. Dinner focused on Paella and Calamari, both of which were rich in taste and super fresh. The prawns were a highlight and if I had had the opportunity and the space I would have been sorely tempted to have more. The panna cotta was a delight, presented with freshly cut fruits and a totally sensuously created ice cream. There is a selection of carefully chosen wines, and what is always of interest to me, this thankfully included medium sweet options too. The fresh mint tea and cappuccino were both a fitting finale to a truly memorable meal occasion. What made it possible to be so was the pleasure at the way in which we were served. The soft touch proficiency and the unobtrusive vigilance of both Eugene and Cleopatra were outstanding, and their blend of knowledge of the dishes and wines together with their natural manner and genuine desire to make our evening a pleasure was a huge attestation to staff selection and training at Malindi Beach Bar & Restaurant. We are already planning a return visit (-:

Maybe it will sound very typical to say thank you for your kind words, they mean everything to us, but this is the truth! Malindi and all the company is a big family, and this is how our guests we want to feel when you visit our restaurants. We continuously try to improve our knowledge, and the quality of our food and service and we look forward to serving you again in the future, knowing you better, and showing you our new menu with more seafood options.

It's a nice restaurant, if you like that wide-open, high ceiling, simple furnishing type of place. It is seaside, so that's nice. The fish is very good, and the staff was nice. My only complaint was that it was rather pricey, even for impeccably fresh fish.
