Dinner at SaReGaMa Indian Restaurant on Friday, 26th Apil, 2013.
Location: Fortina Hotel & Spa -Gardens - Tigne, Sliema.
SaReGaMa Indian Restaurant is located in the gardens of the Fortina Hotel and SPA, and has in the last year or so passed on to private operators. There has been considerable changes and refurbishments from our last review last year, through which it was awarded and listed as one of the top 30 restaurants in Malta. This restaurant serves fine authentic Indian cuisine, and choices vary from a vast selection of Indian regional dishes. Although fresh produce is sourced locally, SaReGaMa imports all its spices, herbs and curries from India to give that authentic taste to all their dishes, which can be ordered, mild, medium and spicy according to one's tastes.
The restaurant offers a vast, revamped, new a la carte menu at vastly improved prices per dish giving exceptional value for money,...

Dinner at: The Chophouse Restaurant, Tigne Point, Malta, on Friday, 12th April, 2013.
The Chophouse Restaurant, has been one of our favourite steakhouses since it opened at Tigne Point, only some three years ago. The ambience of the venue is marvelous, especially in the Summer months when the terrace would be opened for al fresco dining, and thus one can enjoy the fantastic view of the lighted Valletta bastions across Marsamxetto Harbour.
The Chophouse specializes in meats but we noted during our latest visit on Friday, 12th February, that they are also sourcing a selection of fresh fish from local fishermen and suppliers. Beef is sourced from various suppliers normally wet-aged and some instances whole sides are purchased then butchered on the premises as required. The Chophouse boasts an open kitchen, fitted with a large charcoal grill, on which all meat as well as fish and seafood are cooked as requested...
