Malabari Kitchen Restaurant

Mylan Tran

Please come back… being a student without Malabari over 1 year has been so hard! I’ve only ate here once right before the pandemic. We miss your delicious goat biryani, chai, and warm naan in the winter! I have been checking this page time and time again and see “temporarily closed” still hope!!

Nice cozy , chef owned restaurant with amazing exotic South Indian recipes. The chef and the server were very friendly. I ordered the king fish fry and Goat Biryani and they both reminded me of the best I had in India. Try the food and you won’t be disappointed. Talk to the chef if you have any questions as he is a super helpful and accommodates small customizations.

4 years in the Twin Cities and a visit to this place was always like a plane made to sit on the runway but never took off. Finally it did, yesterday. The place was like a ‘hole in the wall’ and wasn’t too big. You can hardly have more than 3 people move around at the same time. The tables were limited and would have had a long wait time if we had gone on a busier time. We were meeting some friends and since one of them was from Kerala and the rest of us were all from Southern India, we decided to take on this place for a dinner. The host was very too friendly and though an American, seemed more knowledgeable about the dishes and fluent spelling them in a native way too. We were served a jug full of hot water on request, before we began ordering. The orders didn’t take a longer time to be served. Me and my wife had paalappam with potato stew and More curry with a side of rice while others had chicken and egg curries. The spice level wasn’t ‘Indian’ hot though we had requested specifically to be that. Nevertheless, the food tasted pretty well, the quantity was sizable and wasn’t too expensive.

If you are searching for authentic food from Kerala, (SW India), look no further. The Chef cooks from his heart and the result is evident on the plate, and your palate ;) Food is spicy and authentic, and a refreshing change from the sea of Tandoori styled restaurants that clutter the scene. Everything is made to order, so give yourselves some time and order a cup of Chai while you wait.
