Malabar Express Restaurant

"Myself Rema, a week ago, my husband and I visited the UAE on a 5-day tourist trip. During our visit , the best food experience we had was at Malabar Express Restaurant in Karama. They serve truly authentic Kerala cuisine, and every dish reminded us of home. The Kerala Sadhya and fish curry were simply outstanding — the best I’ve ever had! The staff were very polite, friendly, and helpful, making us feel so welcome. We also personally appreciated the chef and the crew for their excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for genuine Kerala flavors in UAE!"

"If you’re hunting for top‑notch Kerala cuisine in Dubai, I definitely recommend Malabar Express. From the moment we stepped inside until we left, the staff were consistently friendly and helpful, making sure everything ran smoothly. We dug into a meal featuring the green‑pepper tawa fish fry, which was absolutely delicious, and the sides—especially the meen curry, kappa mutton, and avial—were outstanding. The tawa fish fry was truly unforgettable, packed with flavor. A huge shout‑out to the rock‑star chef and the front‑of‑house team for an amazing dining experience!"

"Visited with friends on their recommendation as they had been there earlier; Malabar Express is a must go place - both for their finger licking food and also the decor. As the name suggests, restaurant is based on a theme of train compartment and designed very well. Food is excellent too; try their fish and crab, with butter soft appam. Their crab 🦀 curry is very well done. Service is quick and staff is friendly."

"​Malabar Express is a winning combination of fantastic food, excellent service, and a memorable setting. Whether you're a long-time lover of Kerala cuisine or a first-time explorer, the restaurant's commitment to flavorful seafood and genuine hospitality makes it an express stop you won't regret. ​Highly Recommended for: Seafood enthusiasts, families, and anyone looking for an authentic and heartwarming South Indian dining experience."

The ambience is pleasant, with neatly arranged seating and a clean, well-maintained space. Overall, it's a satisfying experience if you're looking for a hearty Kerala-style."
