I came with expectations of Malabar biryani but they only served Hyderabadi instead and unfortunately, the biryani lacked the defining aroma, spice balance, and depth in the meat. The parota stood out as the best part of the meal: fresh, well-prepared, and genuinely enjoyable. The beef was flavorful, but the portion size was disappointing for the price.
Malabar Made My Wifeโs Birthday Perfect! We hosted 40 people for my wifeโs birthday, and it was flawless from start to finish. Wilson nailed every detail, from the food to the setting. We were thrilled when he went out of his way to move tables from an adjoining area, creating space for our guests to dance. This truly made the party rock. The private room was fantastic, and the food was outstanding. The chat and dosa, aaloo baingan, and masala channe were particular standouts. The service was simply exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to keep our guests happy, even providing a lighter for the birthday candles, which made my wife feel like royalty. It wasnโt just a lunch; it was a perfect memory. Our guests were amazed, and we had the time of our lives. Thank you, Wilson!
Loved the experience here. Service is great. Attentive and quick. They make it easy and it comes with a smile. Food was great too. Entree a big thumbs up to the dosa and spinach chat. The onion bhaji and chicken tikka was reheated - tastes great but not freshly made at the time of onion bhaji was very oily. The mains were exceptional. Goat curry and chettinad were fabulous. Will come again
We've been coming to Malabar for well over 20 years (est 1992), and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is so popular it's best to book. Always great service and a fabulous atmosphere. Famous for its Dosa.
Delicious Indian food in a bit of an upscale environment. Service was very good. Large range of items on menu.
