What Our Guests Say About Royal Malabar

Real reviews from satisfied customers who've experienced authentic Kerala cuisine at Royal Malabar Fine Dine in Indian Cuisine. Consistently rated 5 stars for our Fish Nirvana, Beef Syrian, service quality, and fine dining atmosphere.

"Without a doubt, this is the best South Indian restaurant in the city. We ordered a variety of dishes—Prawns Coconut Fry, BDF, Fish Nirvana, Idiyappam, Tandoori Platter, and Beef Biriyani. Each dish carried authentic flavors that reminded me of traditional South Indian cooking. The Prawns Coconut Fry was rich and flavorful with perfect balance. BDF was outstanding—spiced just right with that authentic Kerala touch. Fish Nirvana lived up to its name with tender fish and silky gravy. The ambience is warm and welcoming. Service is prompt, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Highly recommended!"

Michael Gibson Google Review

"We visited Royal Malabar around 4 PM near closing time and were initially worried about the buffet. To our surprise, the staff went above and beyond. Special appreciation to Linsa, who delivered outstanding service. Despite it being near the end of buffet hours, she made sure we had access to everything available. The owners themselves came over to greet us, which was a lovely personal touch. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was flavorful and freshly prepared."

Sarah Thompson Google Review

"We finally visited Royal Malabar Fine Dine in person—we've already ordered Fish Nirvana several times via Uber Eats! Dining in turned out to be a great choice. We were greeted by a familiar face, Eupen, who was the perfect host— courteous and attentive. The food was thoroughly enjoyed: crispy veg pakoras, Chicken 65, perfectly spiced sardine fry, and the standout Malabar fish curry with tasty Kerala parottas. We wrapped up with warm, delicious gulab jamuns. Highly recommended!"
