Sometimes, choosing the right environment can elevate a gastronomical experience ten-fold.

Enjoying a fresh Maltese ftira by the beach, for example, makes it taste infinitely better, as does munching down on a pastizz in a decades old kazin, or savouring some top-notch Indian food at Ta’ Xbiex’s Shakinah.

Situated right on the seafront, Shakinah fuses authentic Indian cuisine and a contemporary, high-end environment. Together, these elements help build a one-of-kind experience that is bound to make any diner feel like royalty.

From the slick and elegant Kashmir Bar, through to the Goa Private Dining Room, out into the Courtyard Area, and back inside into the Main Dining Room; Shakinah comes with a fair share of social media moments.

Once you settle on an area to dine in, you’ll be met with an awe-inspiring menu brimming with any and all Indian delicacies you can think of.

All of the dishes at this spot are prepared by the expert hands of Shakinah’s native chefs. So, from soups, starters, and tandoori dishes, to curries, sides, and a whole lot of naan bread, Shakinah is more than prepared to satisfy any diner.

Make sure to also try out some of Shakinah’s delightful cocktails, listed expertly in a seasonal menu.

Shakinah is open from Monday to Sunday between 12pm and 11pm.
