The South Indian food at Malabar is simply superb and the decor is lovely, with many beautiful old Indian photos and prints adorning the walls. I could have happily spent ages looking at them all closely. You are really transported to India. Service was efficient for our large group and the owner was charming.
I'd also ordered a big take-away birthday meal in May from Malabar and again everything was perfect, from the food to prompt delivery to the helpful and charming owner.
Strongly recommended for dine-in or takeaway.

The dishes and flavour of the food here is second to none. I have never tasted Indian food as good as this anywhere. A truly delicious and heavenly food experience.

This place is just as good for takeaway as their awesome sit down service was before.
We ordered takeaway butter chicken, an okra dish and lots of sides. It was all delicious. Try the dessert naan.

During this very difficult period this restaurant is still offering many excellent dishes to take away cryovac packaged. I ordered 6 dishes today + wine and all was excellent. This is a great southern Indian restaurant. Please support them now - you won’t be disappointed. Steve.

Ordered many sauces today along with wine to support this fabulous restaurant. During this crisis. Sauces were absolutely fantastic as was the wine - all very well priced too.
