Mallu Stories

"Mallu Stories is a lovely place to enjoy authentic Kerala cuisine. The ambience is calm, warm, and inviting, with soft lighting that instantly makes you feel relaxed. The interiors are beautifully done, creating a cozy and pleasant dining atmosphere. The food here is absolutely delicious and packed with true Kerala flavors. Some of the must-try dishes include chicken cutlet, parippu vada, chicken porichathu, Thalassery chicken dum biryani, veg meals, omelette, mathi fry, porotta, appam, and chicken varutharachathu. Every dish is fresh, well-prepared, and full of rich taste. Their tea is also very soothing and a perfect way to end the meal. The pricing is quite reasonable considering the quality and portion size of the food. One small drawback was that the waiter couldn’t clearly explain a few dishes, so we had to look them up on Google ourselves. Apart from that, everything else—from the food to the ambience and overall service—was excellent. Overall, Mallu Stories is a great place to enjoy genuine Kerala-style food at affordable prices. I would definitely love to visit again!!!"

"Mallu Stories is a really nice place to enjoy authentic Kerala food. The ambience is calm and welcoming, with warm lights that make you feel comfortable. The restaurant is well-decorated and gives a cozy feeling from the moment you walk in. The food here is delicious and full of Kerala flavors. Some of the must-try items are the fish meal, pomfret fry, and prawns roast. Each dish is fresh, well-cooked, and tastes amazing. For drinks, I loved the Nellika Kulukki, Kilipaari Kulukki, and Pranthan Kulukki — they are refreshing and different from regular soft drinks. Another highlight is their Sulemani tea, which is a perfect way to end the meal. The prices are quite affordable compared to the quality and quantity of food served. One small issue I noticed was that the waiter was not able to clearly explain the dishes. We had to check the names of some items on Google to know more about them. Apart from that, everything was great — the food, the vibe, and the service. Overall, Mallu Stories is a wonderful place to enjoy real Kerala-style food at good prices. Definitely worth visiting again!"

"If you’re craving "authentic Kerala cuisine" with a side of Arabian flair, 'Mallu Stories' is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, the aromas transport you straight to the backwaters of God’s Own Country. The 'fish meals' are a revelation—flaky, fresh fish in a spicy, tangy gravy, paired with steaming red rice that’s pure comfort on a plate. The 'fish fries'? Crispy outside, succulent inside—perfection. Don’t miss the 'Chattichoru' (earthen pot rice), 'Paal Kappa' (creamy tapioca in coconut milk), and the soul-satisfying 'Fish Manga Curry'—each dish bursts with bold, traditional flavors that feel like a warm hug from a Malayali ammachi. Their 'Arabian section' is no afterthought either. The 'Al-Faham' chicken is smoky, juicy, and perfectly charred, while the 'Mandi' rice is fragrant and tender, with meat that falls off the bone. Service is warm and knowledgeable, and the cozy vibe adds to the charm. The *only* hiccup? Long wait times on weekends—but trust me, every minute is worth it. Book ahead or come early. 'Mallu Stories' isn’t just a meal—it’s a delicious journey through Kerala and beyond. Five stars, no question!"

"Honestly, an awesome place! 😍 Went there over the weekend for dinner and tried their Peri Peri Alfam Mandhi and Classic Alfam... both were amazing! The food had that authentic Kerala taste, and with Malayali people around, the vibe felt just like home. The place was a bit crowded (no surprise, considering how tasty the food is 😋). Prices are also quite affordable, and the Sharjah Shake we had was a total delight! 🥤 Definitely a must-try spot if you’re a mallu or love Kerala-style food. 💯"

"Authentic flavors that take you straight back to Kerala! A must-visit for all Mallus in Pune. Just a heads-up: it gets very crowded on weekends and holidays, so be prepared for a bit of a wait."
