Craving Curry? Rani, Lija's new Indian restaurant, takes over former Bahia spot
Will it be Chicken Tikka or Lamb Tamarind Masala?

Francesca Vella

A quiet corner in the heart of Lija, once home to the Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant 'Bahia,' now hosts the village’s latest culinary addition, Rani, an Indian restaurant operated by the same owner. After earning its Michelin star and enjoying five successful years in Lija, Bahia relocated to the Corinthia Palace in Balzan in 2022.

Rani offers a tempting menu featuring rich, aromatic curries and spicy, tangy delights, welcoming diners from Tuesday to Saturday between 6pm and 10pm.

The menu, also available for delivery, boasts an abundance of all the Indian favourites, from Chicken Tikka to Lamb Tamarind Masala, as well as some of the spicier options for the daredevils out there!

The motto of this new eatery is authentic balance, priding itself on bringing the authenticity of Indian cuisine with a balance of the zesty tastes that same cuisine is known for.

What’s your favourite Indian dish?
