Good for groups
Great for outdoor dining

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 food here is delicious. The beef satay and pad thai is some of the best I have ever had. Service is attentive. Dinner prices are a little high.

We had not been there in years. The food is still very good. We’ve always enjoyed Nam sod, seafood clay pot, sushi, and pad Thai. Service to order was cheerful and dishes came out promptly. My only complaint is that the table was not cleared in a timely manner between courses now was it wiped down of small debris between courses. We are putting Mali back on our list of places to frequent.

I’ve been eating at Mali for over 20 years, but we stopped going after several bad experiences late last year and this spring. Last night the food was much better, so we will be putting Mali back into rotation. The service at Mali has always been second to none, so we are thrilled the food quality is back on par.

As an Atlanta resident since 1996, this restaurant remains my very favorite Thai food and sushi! I've dined in Thailand and can attest first hand that this is the most authentic, flavorful, nice portion, size, friendly staff, beautiful presentation and widest variety of choices you will find in our fair city!
