Tucked away in the East Village, Malai Marke serves vibrant Indian fare from spicy vindaloos to creamy saag paneer, all in a casual but stylish setting.
"Malai Marke, our go-to Indian delivery restaurant these days, makes creamy dal, garlic-blasted naan, and samosas that keep crispy even in takeout containers. This East Village spot is ideal for vegetarians, vegans, and meat-eaters alike. So the next time you don’t know what to order on lazy Sunday night, try this place and prepare for some exceptional, reheatable leftovers." - hannah albertine
"Malai Marke is our favorite place to eat Indian food on East 6th Street. That’s a significant claim, considering the restaurant’s one-block radius has historically been home to tons of Bangladeshi and Indian spots. The bulk of the menu is dedicated to expertly-spiced Northern regional specialties, like creamy black lentil dal makhani and lamb burra kebab cooked in a tandoor. But you’ll also see coastal dishes made with coconut and fish and Indian-Chinese chili chicken. Even on weekends, you can usually get a table." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang, Neha Talreja, Carina Finn Koeppicus, Hannah Albertine
"It’s possible you’ve spent several nights eating Indian food in the East Village with string lights in your face and a loud 21st birthday party next to you. But Malai Marke is better and calmer than any of those places on 1st Ave. Whether you’re a vegan or you eat more meat than a lion cub, the vegetable dishes should be your focus here. We especially like the vindaloo from the “spicy club” section of the menu, as well as the rich chana masala." - bryan kim
"There are more vegan and vegetarian options on this South Indian restaurant’s menu than anywhere else in the immediate East Village area. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that the vegetarian dishes should be your focus here, even if you’re a meat-eater. We like the creamy chana masala and the vindaloo from the “spicy club” section. They’re accepting pick-up and delivery orders online." - Hannah Albertine
"With this opening, Mathur will leave his other restaurants — Dhaba, Chote Nawab, Chola, Sahib, and Malai Marke — to focus on Saar." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
