STREET-FOOD SOUL

At the heart of Pink Lover is our beef bone broth — simmered daily for eight hours with premium bones and aromatics until it turns milky, deep and comforting. Alongside it: herbal broth and tomato, so there is a bowl for every palate.

MALATANG FAQ

What is malatang, and how is it different from hot pot?

+

Malatang is a Chinese street-food dish built from a personal selection of ingredients blanched in a flavoured broth and served in one bowl. Unlike communal hot pot, each guest builds an individual bowl, it is cooked in the kitchen rather than at the table, and it is priced by weight.

How does ordering work at Pink Lover Malatang?

+

Take a basket, fill it with vegetables, meats, seafood, tofu, mushrooms and noodles from the 60+ item counter, then choose a broth or the mala dry mix. Staff weigh the basket and blanch everything to order. You can eat in or take away.

Which broths do you serve?

+

Six signature options. Confirmed on the menu: beef bone broth simmered daily for 8 hours, clear herbal broth, tangy tomato soup and mala dry mix, which is tossed rather than served in broth.

Is there a vegetarian or vegan option?

+

Vegetarian bowls are possible: build one from tofu, mushrooms, leafy greens and vegetable noodles with herbal or tomato broth. None of our broths or sauces contain fish sauce or oyster sauce, which makes vegetarian bowls easy to build. For strict vegan needs, confirm the remaining ingredients with staff.

How much does a bowl cost?

+

Bowls are priced by weight at 3,600 RSD per kilogram. You pay for exactly what you put in the basket, and the basket is weighed at the counter before cooking.

How spicy is it, and can I choose the heat level?

+

Heat comes from the broth you choose or from the mala dry mix, the numbing, fiery option. Herbal and tomato broths are mild, and staff can adjust the spice at the counter.

Where are you located and when are you open?

+

Kraljice Natalije, Beograd 11000, a short walk from Knez Mihailova and Zeleni venac. Open daily 10:00–22:00, last order 21:30.

Can I take my bowl away or get it delivered?

+

Takeaway is available: build your bowl at the counter and it is packed to go. Delivery is coming soon on Wolt and Glovo; until then, order in person or by phone on +381 69 818 8888.

How long does a bowl take, and can I come with a group?

+

Bowls are blanched to order, so expect a few minutes at the counter rather than a full-service wait. Groups are welcome; call ahead on +381 69 818 8888 for larger parties.

Do you offer franchising outside Belgrade?

+

Yes. Pink Lover is expanding across the Balkans. Send your city, location and timeline through the franchise form on this site, or call +381 69 818 8888, and the team replies within two working days.
