Malabari's a Kerala Kitchen

"We visited Malabris Kitchen for dinner. The restaurant is located on a narrow street, so bike parking is manageable, but parking a car can be quite difficult. The restaurant is on the first floor and there is no lift, which may be inconvenient for some. We chose this place expecting an authentic Kerala food experience, especially given the name. Unfortunately, it turned out to be disappointing. We ordered appam, but it was very thick, and the batter tasted over-fermented, which is not how good appam should be. The prawn roast was another letdown. It did not resemble a Kerala-style roast at all. It was overloaded with oil and felt more like a North Indian preparation, making the name “roast” misleading. The mixed fried rice was just okay-ish, nothing special. Overall, the food quality needs a lot of improvement, especially if the restaurant is positioning itself as a Kerala cuisine place. Having a chef unfamiliar with authentic Kerala flavors clearly shows in the dishes. On a positive note, the ambience was good. However, good ambience alone cannot compensate for poor food execution. If you are expecting a true Kerala vibe in taste, this place may not meet your expectations"

"We had a wonderful experience here! We tried paal kappa with chicken curry, chicken biryani, tea and karimeen pollichathu — everything tasted absolutely authentic and delicious. They even welcomed us with a complimentary soup, which was such a warm gesture. The flavours were perfect, portions were good, and the ambience made the whole experience even better. A must-visit place for real Kerala food lovers!"

"The food plus the people and the atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty good, we had a really good time, and getting to meet one malayalee , the owner made our day. He was really good with us, Would recommended 5/5 Especially the paal kappa is a must try 🫶"

"We ordered Kizhi paratha chicken, tuna fish curry, puttu, netholi fry… Among all, Netholi fry felt authentic and rest needs to be improved"

"Kizhi paratha is nice. After all discount and additional card offers it costed us Rs 640 for three paratha which is decent."
