• 5/9/25Consistently excellent!! The curries are high quality and intensely flavourful. I've been eating here for many years and never had a bad meal, it's hard to pick a favourite dish, but the Prawn Balchao is a showstopper. And the dosai are crisp and tasty and I love the Masala Dosai filling and chutneys.

• 2/6/24I regret to say that Malabar's offerings left me sorely disappointed and utterly underwhelmed. The so-called "curries" and "paratha" they serve up are nothing short of a culinary travesty.
Firstly, let's address the elephant in the room: the price. For the minuscule portions they provide, the prices are nothing short of extortionate. It's as if they believe they can charge a premium simply for slapping the word "Malabar" on their menu. Newsflash: a fancy name does not equate to quality.
Now, onto the size. If you're expecting a hearty meal that will leave you feeling satisfied, look elsewhere. Malabar's portions are laughably small, barely enough to constitute a snack, let alone a meal. It's as if they're trying to pass off appetizers as main courses.
And don't even get me started on the taste—or lack thereof. The curries are bland, devoid of any depth or complexity of flavor. It's as if they've never heard of spices or seasoning. And the paratha? Dry, rubbery, and utterly forgettable. I've had more flavorful cardboard.
In conclusion, Malabar is a prime example of style over substance. Sure, their decor may be nice, but when it comes to the food, they fall flat on their face. Save your hard-earned money and your taste buds the agony—steer clear of this culinary disaster zone.

• 4/28/26Very poor experience. The food quality and quantity were both disappointing. I ordered online and was not satisfied with the food at all.
