Bad experience at Loving Hut
Let me preface this by saying that in general, I love Loving Huts. They are adorable and I love the food served all the ones I've been to. Therefore, when I saw there was one in Malaga I decided to go on my first night. The buffet was empty when I arrived, but the owner quickly led me to a table and promised they would have it right out- fine with me. I first had olives from the salad bar as an appetizer. They then brought out food and I loaded up my plate. It looked decent- noodles, and lots of soy fake meat curry dishes. I did enjoy the veggie rolls. However, most of the other dishes I really did not like. The old woman who I believe is an owner just stared at me the entire time I ate. I didn't understand why until I tried to pay- and this is where it got weird. I asked for my check l, but instead I received a 5 minute up in my face lecture about how there are so many starving people in the world (especially in China) and how it was horrible to waste the food on my plate. She insisted I stay until it was all eaten. I told her I was full but she continued to argue with me. I was both extremely full and didn't like the food, so I refused and had to persuade them to give me my bill. It was a horrible experience and I left very upset and angry.
I almost always finish the food on my plate and am very considerate that there are starving people in the world. However, I don't believe that the food I don't eat magically goes to them. I do not understand the glowing reviews of this restaurant!! I can put up with a lot, but like I said this was just an upsetting experience. There are so many other amazing places to go in Malaga- don't choose this one.
Cons: Crazy staff, Bad food

Unreliable hours - Edit
We were only in the area a few days and really wanted to try this place. We tried three times over two days to eat here. The first time we arrived at about 3pm - in the middle of when they should have been open for lunch. Their door was open, but we were told it would be another 15 minutes for lunch and were shooed away - as far as we could tell no food was set out for the buffet yet. So we left. We came back for dinner. But they weren't open - however it was a little early - yet no signs of even starting to prepare. We had to be somewhere, anyway. So we left. The next day we tried again - this time for dinner. We arrived at 8:30 - when they claim to open. No one was there. Not even in the kitchen cooking. We waited a while. We were starving so we went to El Vegetariano instead. We stopped by at just before 10 and saw they had opened finally - however we had eaten and had to catch our train back to our hotel. That was the last time we looked at that place. We have no idea what the food was like - so we can't rate that. But service is lacking and they definitely do not stick to a schedule. It seems your options are: go in the middle of when they say they open, be willing to wait hours for food, or go somewhere else entirely.
