Discover Amala, the ultimate dining experience at the Palm Springs Surf Club. With indoor and outdoor seating offering breathtaking views of the surf and mountains, indulge in a curated artisanal menu.
Amala is more than just a restaurant; it’s a culinary oasis that seamlessly blends the laid-back vibes of a surf club with the sophistication of a fine dining establishment. The name “Amala,” derived from the Sanskrit word for “pure,” speaks to the restaurant’s commitment to offering fresh, high-quality ingredients in every dish.
Start your meal with shareable plates like House Poke, served with fresh ahi and lotus root chips, or the Hamachi Sashimi Cruo, with apricot jam and Fresno chili. Order the carne asada fries with skirt steak, avocado, nacho cheese, and black beans for American style.
Amala’s main courses are casual yet elevated, like the short rib Barbacoa with poblano mash and street corn or the citrus salmon. Their fish and chips with their special sauce are very popular.
Vegetarian and vegan options include pasta, vegetable spring rolls, and salads.
There is also a kid’s menu.
What truly sets Amala apart is its unique location within the Palm Springs Surf Club. As you dine, you’ll have a front-row seat to the action, watching surfers carve through artificial waves against the backdrop of the stunning desert landscape. The restaurant’s outdoor seating allows you to bask in the sun or enjoy a meal under the stars, making it the perfect spot for casual lunches and romantic dinners.
The interior of Amala reflects the surf club’s ethos of relaxation and fun. Large windows let in natural light, creating an airy, open space that invites guests to linger and enjoy the atmosphere. The design incorporates elements of coastal living, with reclaimed wood, oceanic hues, and surf-inspired art adorning the walls.
A dining experience at Amala would only be complete with exploring the extensive beverage menu. The restaurant’s skilled mixologists have crafted a selection of signature cocktails that are as refreshing as they are creative. Try one of these:
Coachella Crush: Pau Mau Vodka, Pineapple, Lime, coconut, cinnamon
Desert Mirage: tumeric infused rum, lime, pineapple, orgeat, mahina dark rum float
