"A fantastic find! This is easily the most accessible spot for authentic Kerala food if you're in Salt Lake Sector 5 or Newtown. The food tastes just like it should – proper, home-style stuff. The people running it are lovely, and the pricing is great. A solid 10/10 for this venture."

"🌟 Malabar Rasoi – Kerala’s Soul Served on a Plate! 🌟 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
After spending time in Kochi, I found myself deeply missing the comforting, spice-laden flavors of authentic Kerala cuisine. That’s when I stumbled upon Malabar Rasoi, and honestly—it felt like coming home.
🍛 Food That Speaks of Tradition Every dish here is a masterclass in flavor.
🍚 Puttu – Soft, steamy, and perfectly layered with coconut. It’s light yet filling, and pairs beautifully with kadala curry or even just a drizzle of ghee and sugar. The texture is spot-on—neither dry nor mushy, just the way it should be.
🍳 Egg Dosa – Crispy edges, fluffy center, and a golden egg blanket that adds richness without overpowering. The balance of spice and flavor is impeccable, and it’s served hot off the tawa with chutneys that elevate the whole experience.
☕ Filter Coffee – Aromatic, strong, and brewed to perfection. It’s the kind of coffee that wakes you up and warms your soul. Served in traditional steel tumblers, it’s a nostalgic sip of South India.
🍵 Sulaimani Chai – Light, fragrant, and spiced just right. This black tea is a refreshing change from milk-based chai, with hints of cardamom and lemon that cleanse the palate and calm the mind.
🥟 Dal Vada – Crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside. These lentil fritters are fried to golden perfection and served with chutney that adds a zingy contrast. Ideal for snacking or pairing with tea.
🧼 Clean, Hygienic & Welcoming The kitchen is spotless, and the entire setup reflects a strong commitment to hygiene. You can taste the freshness in every bite, and see the care in every corner.
🤝 Owners Who Make You Feel Like Family The owners are warm, humble, and genuinely passionate about their food. They take time to chat, share stories, and make sure every customer feels valued. It’s rare to find such hospitality these days.
