About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
According to Zagat, This "excellent" local spot where Va-Highlanders meet is known for its "great patio" and "good, reasonably priced sushi and Thai food"; it's a mystery why it's "rarely crowded", but "those who love it" and want to keep it all to themselves "hope it stays that way."

    The restaurant was great. My group of friends loved it and the food was good. The staff was also courteous and polite. I don’t live in Atlanta anymore but will definitely be back when next I visit.

    Mali is one of the most consistent restaurants in the area - you can always count on exceptional service, a varied menu, fresh ingredients prepared to focus on the ingredients, not bathed in sauces and salt. The restaurant is clean, with a low to moderate sound level from customers enjoying conversation over their meals. We absolutely enjoy every meal here. THANK YOU to the team running Mali for offering us a great experience every time.

    Amazing birthday dinner from start to finish! The staff were warm and welcoming and the food was fresh and fantastic and I fell in love with their strawberry-rita frozen cocktail! Cheers to Mali!

    The food is always great, but for some reason on this occasion, we had to wait more than 20 minutes before we were able to order. This felt lengthy to us.
