Malelani Cafe - Darby Township

Fresh healthy food served in a beautiful gathering space. The cured salmon is excellent. I also enjoy comedy night and other special events.

The food tastes fresh. Lots of interesting local stuff going on in here.. I would have gone 5 star but my last 2 platter orders were missing the red peppers, cucumbers and carrots.. I mean cmon that’s most of the fresh veggies that’s supposed to be included and no one told me they’re out.. unless the menu posted here 1 month ago has changed, was happy with what I got but disappointed in lack of fresh veg

Stopped in with the family for a quick lunch after a Google search for Mediterranean food. The menu online looked good, so we thought we'd check it out. It was incredible! The food was fresh, flavorful and authentic. The chef/owner was very friendly and hospitable. The other employee was extremely soft spoken and we didn't really hear/understood what he said as he brought us our drinks. Our interactions with him were limited and we were able to tell what was who's based on how it looked. Our group of four ordered 1 appetizer, 1 bowl, 2 platters and a pita sandwich. Three in our group ordered specialty iced teas. It was plenty of food despite us all being quite hungry and we even took home some leftovers. The spanokopita we ate at home was to die for. Not one single menu item was average or disappointed us. It was all delicious. My only two complaints are that 1) we don't live nearby to come here more often and 2) a tarot card reader stationed in the restaurant felt out of place (hence the 4 for atmosphere).

So grateful for Malelani Cafe! This is a true community gem local music, events, gatherings. The owners are so sweet, the bulletin board is full of amazing community offerings, and the food is delicious. I especially love crafting a sushi vibe bowl with salmon and avocado. Soooo yummy. Thank you for all you do, Malelani!

I had the Volcano Bowl for the first time oh my it was absolutely delicious! Every ingredient was fresh and perfectly portioned. You guys never disappoint, I plan to grab this dish again for me and a friend!
