From tandoor-grilled tikkas to fragrant biryanis, here is what makes MAA the go-to Indian restaurant on the Costa del Sol.
Marbella has always been a magnet for great food, but authentic Indian cuisine on the Costa del Sol used to be rare. That has changed thanks to a small group of chef-led restaurants — and at the top of most local shortlists sits MAA Indian Restaurant, tucked inside Aloha Garden in Nueva Andalucía.
Why MAA stands out
MAA is a fully halal Indian restaurant, holder of the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, and open every day from 15:00 to 23:30. What sets it apart is the chef's attention to tradition: marinades rest for hours, spices are ground in-house, and the tandoor runs hot all evening for signature dishes like Chicken Tikka, Malai Kebab and Tandoori King Prawns.
Dishes locals order again and again
Regulars come back for the Butter Chicken, the Maa Bahar (a house speciality combining chicken tikka, spinach and prawns) and the Jhinga Dum Nashi — an innovative king prawn dish in creamy chef's spice. Vegetarians love the Sag Paneer, Dal Badami and the Matar Paneer, and no meal is complete without garlic naan straight from the tandoor.
The setting
The dining room is warm and candle-lit, and the outdoor terrace is one of the loveliest in Nueva Andalucía — perfect for long, unhurried Marbella evenings under the stars. Home delivery is available across Nueva Andalucía, San Pedro, Puerto Banús and Benahavís.
