I hosted an 80 th birthday party for my husband this summer at Malaga. Everyone was so eager for my guests to have an enjoyable time. The food was amazing and my guests are still talking about it. Under the watchful eye of Angela things ran very smoothly. Max a waiter who had waited on me before was amazing. He even brought out a guitar and sang Happy Birthday in Spanish. I would not hesitate to have a party here or just go for an enjoyable dinner. read more

Ole!! Malaga is by far the best Spanish/Portuguese restaurant. Been in Trenton over thirty years and for all the right reasons. Had an early New Year's Eve dinner there. The place was jumpin at 3:20 pm. Had a quality Margarita and fresh Sangria. We had a super veal dish and a very nice fish dish Mariscada Malaga. A signature dish. Everything was delicious, hot and beautifully prepared. It's a cozy dining room and they have a welcoming cocktail bar. Went back last Sunday and shared perfect empanadas and twin stuffed lobsters. Wow! Best seafood ever. A delicious desert and good coffee ended this perfect meal. Greeter and pro waitstaff are on their game. Like being at a fine taverna. Def our new favorite place. read more

My friend highly recommended Malaga. I was greeted and seated promptly. What a charming place . Cute decorations. Lots of staff. There were lots of specials and recommendations! We enjoyed the sangria. So fresh and delicious. Wow! I feel happy inside and out ! The guitar music is beautiful too. We got jamon serrano also pimienta relleno for appetizers. It was huge and amazing. So in Spain the portions are a smaller portions so I would say each plate is like for 4 people to share. I ordered paella marisco and my friend ordered stuffed chicken . Delicious and rich. . The food was sooooooo delicious and colorful and exceedingly plentiful. Don't fill up on the bread... it's pretty fabulous!!. I had no room for dessert. Guillermo was a lovely and charming host with the most. And the lovely Angela also recommended a almond liquor after the meal. I had never had such a thing. So sweet and so delightful. I really really loved Malaga restaurant tonight!! Tip: I went to make reservations but it's only done for parties of 5 or larger. Tip: There was lots of parking... fyi. Tip: They have flamenco dancers perform monthly!! Wow read more

Malaga is a solid Iberian restaurant right on the border of Trenton and Hamilton. It is very popular. Most of their dishes on the menu emanate from the Spanish side of the Iberian Peninsula as opposed to the Portuguese side. A loaf of fresh bread will start each meal. For my main course I ordered the Mariscada "Malaga". This was a tasty seafood stew which came with saffron rice. The shellfish offerings were generous. My main complaint was that the sauce or maybe better described as the broth was just too salty for me. I am used to European lightly salted creations as opposed to heavily salted American dishes. Service on the day I was there was busy keeping up with a full restaurant and I didn't find it that friendly ... but it was adequate. Indeed getting the check took a little while. Still if you are in the Trenton, Malaga is a decent bet for a hearty meal. read more

Malaga Restaurant - Superb food. Dog friendly and staff were excellent. So good we came for breakfast 3 times. - Spanish Near Me - Hamilton Township, New Jersey

Absolute waste of time money and energy! Inhospitable staff, flavorless food, dated decor... I ordered over the phone, and walked in to pay and go, however NOT a single staff member greeted me or asked if I needed anything...food was tasteless and had no love to it....asked for the bill and they just TOLD me a total without a breakdown of cost.... Save yourself the time and go somewhere else read more

We've been going to this fine restaurant for 20 some odd years. Still one of our favorites. The service is top notch, the food is amazing, the sangria is full of fresh fruit and the deserts are amazing. They have 3 parking lots that are protected so little worried there. Closed on Mondays. We were there last night (Tuesday) for a 6 o'clock dinner party of 4. By 7:30 the place was packed. Reservations are suggested. The check was $200 for the 4 of us plus a $50 tip. That included two pitchers of sangria and one mixed drink. Great for Birthday's, Anniversary's, Date Night or just plain because! Don't forget to ask for the complimentary almond liquor after dinner drink. read more

Had the veggie paella and the seafood dish that came in a sherry sauce. It was fantastic and definitely feeds two people. The chocolate cake dessert they have is perfect as it's not too sweet. Definitely get the house sangria. read more

I wish I could come here every. day. They make me feel like family and the food is absurdly good. They have a nice enclosed terrace, air conditioned, and nothing we get here EVER disappoints. Come hungry and eat like a king. read more

Malaga Restaurant - Paella A La Valenciana. Outstanding!!! - Spanish Near Me - Hamilton Township, New Jersey

I called on Mothers Day and they were a huge help and able to squeeze us in last minute. We only waited 15 minutes to be seated in a holiday. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had the empanada appetizers and white asparagus starter with a pitcher of sangria. The bread was warm and crusty. I had the chicken in garlic sauce and it was tender and tasty. Just watch out for the little bones! Go early because even with 3 parking lots, the parking can be - challenge. read more

Malaga Restaurant - Garlic chicken - Spanish Near Me - Hamilton Township, New Jersey

food was so ah. got 20$ mozzarella sticks straight from the freezer with fries that looked like british chips and tasted like it( not good) got the sirloin steak and they're allergic to seasoning or something, i tasted 1 grain of salt on the steak and had to add salt and pepper to the whole thing, the mushroom sauce carried, next time i come here, i'm bringing my own seasonsings, the calamari tasted like rubber without the rubber taste (meaning still had no seasoning!) and do not get me started with the olive oil, tasted like straight motor oil fresh out a 1992 honda accord read more

Having lived in Spain for many years, we frequent this place because it is authentic, the food is great, service is attentive. This last visit we got the fish of the day for lunch, a delicious "panga" with a special sauce. It was wonderful. read more

This place has been a local favorite for many years. I was here maybe 20-25 years ago and enjoyed it then. Six of us met here for dinner on a Saturday night and the place was just buzzing with activity. The line to get in was out the door, so weekend reservations are mandatory. I decided on the paella a la Valencia which was rice in a saffron sauce loaded with fish, shrimp, lobster, clams, mussels, chicken, and Spanish sausage. When I say loaded, there was a plethora of seafood and meat. The food was delicious and came out sizzling hot and the service was top notch which wasn't easy considering how many patrons they had. It's easy to see how this establishment has endured all these years. read more

Another great meal. The steak served on a hot stone, cooked tableside is awesome. Great paella. Great appetizers. The garlic shrimp is fantastic. The red sangria is the best around. The service is impeccable. The Malaga after dinner drink is also a great way to end the night. read more

Food was great. Service too. However they charge you using your credit card. FUC(;:K that. Never go back

The staff is so friendly and every dish has been as good or better than expected. Paella and lobster are two favorites, and it's hard to get good seafood dishes around here. They also serve amazing red sangria, if you don't finish the pitcher (rarely happens), you can take it home. And a note on dessert - ask what is made in-house before you pick. read more

I went here for my birthday last week, the outdoor dining setup was so nice for a couple of hours I forgot what was happening around us I felt a bit of normalcy. The food was great we started with the octopus salad and the shrimps in a red sauce which Both were delicious we also had the chorizo and peppers stuffed with manchengo. For dinner my husband I had steak very good and the couple we were with had a monk fish and a salmon which this both enjoyed. All in all it was a wonderful evening we enjoyed our food and the wine (Laureutus) was great as was the sangria. read more

The service at this place is impeccable. Some of the best I have ever received. The staff is very attentive constantly refilling your drinks before they are empty and clearing away dirty plates. Really enjoyed the food as well. A few highlights: The garlic soup is incredible. I don't know how they make it but if you like garlic this stuff is legit. I got the veal chop special as my meal and it was cooked perfectly. They also gave us a complimentary cocktail after our meal that was excellent. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

The food was far disappointing. My husband ordered seafood paella, I ordered the lobster casserole. Both dishes tasted similar, I think they used the same sauce. The rice that came with mine was quite hard, didn't taste much but rather salty. My husband's dish was rice soaked with the sauce that's in my casserole. Other than that, the ingredients in our dishes were the same: shrimps, mussels, clams and a baby (very small) lobster tail. I didn't even finish my dish cause it tasted so bland (but salty). For $25 a plate I expected a more exquisite taste than this. Also the dish came with whole a lot of shrimps, almost 80% are shrimps, that's not a very well balanced seafood dish. Overall I was not content with the food and do not plan on returning. A few hours after this meal I had food poisoning. I did have a latte elsewhere in between so I cannot say for certain it was the food from here, but it definitely makes me not want come back for sure. read more

Stopped in to Malaga for dinner with a colleague while on business inHamilton, NJ. It was a wonderful fine dining experience from start to finish. The servers were extremely nice and took great care of us. For an appetizer I enjoyed the soup of the day. For dinner I had chicken cutlets in wine sauce with vegetable and fresh potato chips sides. My coworker enjoyed salmon with similar sides and yellow saffron rice. The food was tasty but I saved room for dessert! I had a wonderful spiced carrot cake. The perfect ending to a great dinner. Definitely a must-try if you're in the area. read more

I have been coming to Malaga since I was a small child. I had my very first lobster here, and so every time I'm back I have to order one, as it brings me right back to some of my greatest dining memories. For starters, make sure you order the house-made red sangria. It's delicious, and not too sweet. Also, be sure to order the Camarones Al Ajillo (Shrimp in Garlic Sauce) for an appetizer, as you'll want something delicious to dip the fabulous homemade bread into. The garlic sauce that the shrimp is in has somewhat of a tomato/tobasco sauce instead, but it's not spicy, just loaded with garlic! Just a heads up that it's not a white garlic sauce like some might assume. Next, I recommend ordering a steamed 2 pound lobster and the Paella A La Valenciana, which is a combination of shellfish, chicken, sausage, and saffron rice. The portions are huge and great to share between two people, and the saffron rice is truly authentic. If you're in search of a high-quality, authentic Spanish restaurant, Malaga is it! read more

Good food and the sangria is to die for! The guys are very nice and take good care of the people who come there!

The food and service were exceptional. I felt like I was was at my family's home in Puerto Rico. Our friends who were from out of town enjoyed the food & the Ambiance. They said it's been a long time since they enjoyed their meal, the company and the restaurant. Reservations are only taken for 5 or more. It's worth the wait if you are four or less. Buon Provecho! read more

Favorite regional restaurant, delicious food always, professional servers always on the top of their game. We have never had a bad meal there, have tried everything from octopus to goat, amazing! Don't miss the sangria, it's an experience!! read more

The restaurant itself is lovely. I have gotten food a few times and the seafood is okay but the steak they serve on the hot stone is a pass. Looks wise the presentation of that platter it is very cool but the meat is very hard to chew and dry, little to no flavor. It is pretty pricey for the quality of the food to be not so good. What makes it worth stopping by is for sure the dessert. They have good selection of icecream/gelato and they are all very tasty. The chocolate cake swirl with the vanilla icecream has to be one of my favorites. The staff are lovely just wish that the quality of the food would be better and worth the price. read more
