Mala (2 Marble Key, London, E1W 1UH) My guest and I had an average starter, served by a very unhappy looking member of staff. I specifically asked for a mild main course without chilli, but the dish that arrived was ‘medium’ (at least) with a strong flavour of chilli! The manager was decidedly dissinterested and rude, despite the staff member agreeing that I had been very clear and it was the chef's mistake, so I preferred not to risk a replacement. The location and interior look excellent, but the atmosphere reflected something seriously wrong; maybe I was just unlucky- but I have heard others saying they've been very disappointed.
