TASTY BUT BE PREPARED TO SHELL OUTWanted a quick small lunch after a busy work. Zomato provided good reviews for this nearby restaurant. Even though I didnt like the ambience much, I sat down to oeder Curd Rice, Egg fried Rice, Prawn BBQ and Orange juice.1. I would surely provide a 5 star for this curd rice. The rice was in a perfect state for curd rice. The essence and taste was exquisite.2. Egg fried was quiet a usual dish. It was good compared to any restaurants with similar price range.3. The prawn was cooked well. However the bbq flavour was majorly missing in the masala.Over all its a cool place to dine in adyar. I could also see IT people come in gangs. However I dont find anything malluish with the dishes served. Also, price for all these dishes were too costly. You can visit once if you are around Adyar specially for Curd Rice

Worst place to have food 😨Quality of the very bad.Service Quality is very poor.You will never find any person to ask water to drink or refil.Meals quality and quantity is very less.Papad is not there in meal, if required need to request go at the reception counter.After request wait for more than half an hour for the item.Please find the image of the papad which is un fryed and served to as a customer eat.Sambar is salt lessDay fry is full of saltRice is good qualityOh sorry forgot this point is papad is extra cost for meals.Important the waiter are having knowledge on the food price or available foods sold in these shop.Please think twice before even thinking to have food in the shop or so called restaurant.

A house has been converted in to the restaurant and the ambiance is good. The food is good and tasty. The satff and their hospitality is really good. Talking about the food, Varieties of Kerala dishes are available and also chinees. We ordered mutton biryani and some fish. Fish was really good but the biriyani was not as expected. There was no rush in the restaurant for Saturday lunch. Restaurant is not in the main road you will have to go a bit incise from the main road.

Ordered wheat parrota and butter chicken...the dough for the wheat parrota was stinking it was foul smell couldnt consume and butter chicken was like tomatto chutney with too much water and three piece chicken.... threw the entire pieces in dustbin..

Finest place to get a Kerala flavored food. I strongly recommend this place for people who crave for Kerala food. Good service but you gotta wait a lot to get your ordered food to be on your table. They take lot of time to serve and you need patience. But the wait is worth for the food there. Thank you.

Malabar house is located in adayar where earlier Nikkis kitchen was there.... I have had terrible experiences with Nikkis kitchen so was avoiding Malabar house for all this while....Then one of my friend said that the owners have changed and I should try it... So decided to order dinner from this place...Ordered for appam and Malabar egg roast... Food arrived on time and it was packed well. Surprisingly the food was still hot when it reached home....Being a mallu I have eaten appam and egg curry in several places in Kerala several times in my life.... So my expectations were high... And I must say this place matched my expectation.The appam was soft and tender... Malabar egg roast was perfect... I have ordered egg roast from many Kerala restaurants in Chennai... But I must admit theirs is definitely amongst the top 3... The dish was dry and fried with lot of onions... It went extremely well will appam. Egg roast was a tad spicy... But no complaints because if not spicy then it wouldnt have gone well with appam....They have priced the dishes very nominal... The egg roast was less than 100rs... I have ordered the same egg roast from other Kerala restaurants and they charge double the price....A good start with this restaurant... Being a mallu will definitely order or visit this place for sure... Thanks to the team for replacing Nikkis kitchen and setting another restaurant which caters mallu food... Giving 4/5 as I only tasted couple of dishes... Will reserve my review after tasting other dishes

Clean and good place. Good food as well

Malabar House is Kerala Restaurant.Taste of Malabar Biryani is good.Fish in Banana Leaf is good but bone. It will be good with out bone.

Currently hotel is not operational

The food was so good and tasty. Authentic Kerala style food. Buffet also available. Value for money.

Good ambience... But hospitality to be imrpoved

Good Food. Nice people.

Authentic Malabar good. They also serve Chinese and Indian cuisine. Reasonably priced. Good quantity. The interiors look worn out and may not impress you. The food was excellent and well cooked. Kids loved the fried rice and Malabar paratha. This was our third visit and we were not disappointed. The restaurant manager said, they are going to renovate the whole restaurant, so looking forward for refreshing interiors to compliment the food.

Good tasty food. Spacious with more seats.. Staffs are good and neatly groomed.. Clean service.. Parking lot is very less. But can be managed on road side with assistance from staff. Price is on a bit higher side.. But quality food.. Overall satisfactory place..

What a food , the best part is the grill chicken

Good nd quality food

Fantastic......lovely......great

Malabar house has good variety of veg and non veg. You get Indian, Chinese, Arabian etc. The cost was also decent. Whether dinein or ordering its good.

One such poor quality of hotel . There is no proper restaurant ambience. No hygiene serving of foods. Poor quality of servers.

Not so good as the name gives you the image in your mind .. need to work on food recipes taste not so good but fine place for one time

Worst .Ordered Shawarma online. Such a worst shawarma I never had in my life.

My fav place for northindian dishes ..

Unique taste. Had dragon paneer, parotta and mixed vegetable curry. Every dish was lip-smacking. It would be better if they improve the ambience and staffs discipline.

Nice place and I enjoyed the biryani there .

Been here with lot of expectations but sadly it didnt meet up, we ordered malabar chicken biryani and malabar fish biryani, the quantity was good and the taste was not up to the mark but not bad, and the service was very poor, we have to keep on calling them again and again to get a glass of water or raita, the staff does not even know to explain the dishes in detail, he said that fish biryani will come with fried fish piece but later what I received is fish along with semi gravy in it 😣 its not a authentic restaurant better try someother malabar restaurants in Chennai.

Decent place to have a kerala style meal. The Malabar chicken curry was good. Was disappointed to see the place practically empty

Value for money... Had very nice briyani in different taste. Malabar chicken curry was awesome. BBQ is not too good.

Food is decent quality, chicken is marinated really well and has a lot of flavour. Green and white sauce is okay, nothing special.Reccomend BBQ pepper chicken and the garlic naan.

Relatively affordable pricing, quality food and variety of items on the menu. A great option in Chennai for those who love Kerala cuisine.

Had Onam sadhya hosted by my office, very good Kerala food served.Owner is very helpful. Lot of nonveg items were there their regular menu but being a pure veggie cant say about it.

Have ordered from Malabar house earlier and it was ok. Today ordered Egg curry and have not had a bland curry in my life. Pls dont take Customers for granted. I hope someone will atleast taste it before delivering as I guess the chef himself is not sure what he has prepared.

Average dining experience..Food quality is ok!One time visit..thats it.

Nice place. The Chicken Biryani is different and good. Ambience is also good. Value for money.

Authentic taste of Kerala, youll get in this restaurant. However ambience is not so god

One of the best restaurants in Chennai!! Its the one place that comes on my mind when Im hungry and around Adyar 😁😁. Good food and ambience is decent. Ideal place for groups and individuals too!

Ambiance is not good and food taste is average not up to the mark

They offer you Sadhya on Onam day. It was pretty close to the taste and flavor of authentic Kerala style. Loved the food. Good service. Booking a table is suggested on a special day like Onam. Ambience is ok. Parking is available and free for bikes and cars.

Menus are different..but not spicy... Good service

One of the best place to have meals and biriyanis of malabar cuisine. It is costly if you are having it there. Use Combo in Swiggy for better value for money

Finally found the real Kerala style restaurant. Very good service. I prefer spicy foods here.

A wonderful place to dine with family. A calm and spacious restaurant and in a quiet location with average cost.

Good food but no mobile network inside the restaurant

This place is near Bharat school and prominently visible. It has ample parking too. While, this was in my wish list I thought to first opt for a take away.I picked up grill chicken from here and set for disappointment. it was very dry and lacked flavor. Moreover, the grill cooking area was smelling bad. When I enquired I was told that the drainage had some issues and they blamed the corporation. The interior is also nothing great. I guess they are still using the previous restaurants interior. Its unclean. Overall, doesnt look like a hygienic place.

Nice hospitality. Good Kerala tasty foods.Keep the quality for ever.

They are late the order and misbehaving and asking for extra cost without bill

I will definitely recommend the Chicken dynamite for starters and please dont order malai kofta curry because it tastes like a milk desert. The noodles are also good.

Good food good quality,im a repeated visitor

It was okay, rice was not good in biriyani

This is bad restarant fur stap is not respandDont com this restarant pleeseBiling boy is very bad

They are authentic. Their wheat parotta and gravies is a must try. Murgh chingari is medium spicy chicken gravy. Amazing with wheat parotta.

Nice staff but pricing and description of food is deceptive. 145 for fish meals. 175 forFried fish meals ... so u assume fried fish is extra provided. ...NO... APPARENTLY fried fish meals comes WITHOUT FISH CURRY... !!

Tasty food .Good ambience.kerala foods are realy tasty.bit costly

Calm and nice place to have ...food😋 and tasty south kerala dishes available

Food is very bad no test customer behaver is very must delivery boy not respond Very badRestaurants in adyar so otha bad restaurants omali,😠😠😠😠😠

Parota was very good. Kerala cuisine lovers can try. Decent ambience.

Great place, especially try parota and their favorite navarathina kurma.

Food is good but the ambience and inner hostel vibe is dark and no vine

Food taste is good..but half of the items given in menu is not available..service too very bad.very slow srvice n staff not able to understand what we are asking for..

One of the grt kerala taste restaurant in adyar. They serve chinees also.

Nice and calmGood staffFood is good, especially who prefer kerala food nd kozhikodan biriyani can give a try

Really tasty and flavorful, I had the Dragon Paneer and it was great.

Very very bad... waste makka..... no 1 dummy.... in adyar malabar house restaurant

Food us very bad no test customer behaver is very must delivery boy not respond very bad restrent in adyar

Beware: The Biryani here is super spicy. They do have a few great starters, which I loved, but then the Biryani spoilt everything. If you still happen to have Biryani here, you will be glad to know that they serve ice cream. It saved my day.

Best place for Onam Sadhya!

Try murgh chingaria....its good..

Good varieties of Kerala cuisine on the Menu. Food quality (specially the meat cut) can be improved.

Very good food at very low cost ..when we went we had buffet at 299 rs and the menu were hot n sour chicken soup, veg clear soup, Gobi Manchurian, chilli chicken, some paneer starter, thalaserry chicken, chicken tikka, butter nan, tandoori roti, lacha paratha, one veg kurma, 2 chicken gravies, veg fried rice, malabar chicken biriyani, aloo jeera, payasam, fruit salad, Faldo oda, ice cream, cucumber, carrot n onions..Dono if any promotions were going on cos I have never had such a wide spread for just 299. Most of the items in the list were good.Don’t know about alacarte in this place

Malabar house mainly caters to Swiggy orders. If you need to have food from here order through Swiggy. If you visit the restuarant the service is pathetic. We had a family function organised here and they just refused to serve the food and were busy taking up offers through Swiggy. The guests started leaving without eating and it was a total embarrassment to us.

The meat wasnt cooked properly and yes do take care to provide fresh meat to the customers that would be better!

Not upto the mark. No taste as expected

Good place to have Kerala native tasty foods.

Superb quality of food, wonderful employees. Value for money

Good Kerala food. Will try once a month, when in Chennai

One of the best kerala hotels in chennai. Other varieties are also tasty. Worth for money👌👍

Food was delicious... We ordered Butter Chicken, Naan, jeera rice and dragon chicken.... Naan was crispy as expected. Taste was super

Good food. Mainly Kerala dishes. Descent buffet

Food is tasty and yummy. Tried their Chicken Briyani, great flavour 🙂

Very much disappointed with the service.... I ordered for chicken biriyani , but instead I received normal rice alone without any curries or chicken. I didnt expect this from a good restaurant like this from where I used to order earlier

Good Kerala food. Malabar Biriyani, one of the best in Chennai I ever had

Good food ! Good taste ! Good ambiance ! Reasonable price ! Good staff behavior !

Very tasty starters and soup!! They have good meals too

Great food even for veggies like me.

Average taste and average quantity. Not a crowded place. Moderate cost. Can try once if you are in Adyar or Besant Nagar

Biriyani was absolutely tasteless. Porota ,curry and all was good but nothing malabari in there.restaurant vibe is also not so pleasant

Not that great but ok... Serves ok kerala food but not worth the cost that they put

Wow place to and weekend only 299 buffet and it was amazing pls visit and taste the good food

Must try place for all Mallus. Visited them a few times and completely satisfied with the mall food and the authentic taste. Especially the fish kumarakom and chicken varautharachathu. Tried the shawarma, it was ok only. Wanna try t kabsa and then will rate the Arabic food. But otherwise its a very nice place with good people at the desk and got service

Good kerala foods are available. especially fish dishes which i had are all good.

I had a very worst experience. I ordered chicken and mutton briyani via Zomato, it was not a briyani 😡😡, just white rice, no taste at all. It was like eating white rice, there was no masala. I was really got irritated. They should see some of briyani shops to know art of making briyani. And above all, side dish for briyani was, coconut chutney and lemon pickle. This made me to get more tension. What kind of combination is this😡😡. Please please dont order briyani from them, if you want to eat briyani. Or if you are ready to spend briyani cost for white rice, u can eat here.

Authentic Malabar. We loved it. Neat ambience

One of the best available at Adayar for Malabaree Non Veg. Also the service is good.

Biriyani was not kerala biriyani. It was salty. Really bad experience

Food and the service were really good and then the black tea made my day.

We ordered vegetarian only vegetarian items, we had paneer tikka, butter naan, wheat paratha & mushroom masala. Paneer tikka was really good, others all fine but not very great may be because its an non-vegetarian hotel. all are fresh but only wheat paratha is not actually fresh looks like reheat the old one, otherwise staff all good, very quick service, good parking space, prime location, easy to identify, relaxed environment, nice place to hang out with friends

Good food, and buffet lunch is worth the money and time..

Kerala style Non veg restaurant, good ambiance,it is off L.B.Road (Adyar Telephone exchange signal)next to Bharath School,free from traffic, ample car parking space,they have more varieties, suitable for get-together, family dining and for all

Very wost...customer not response ...food is not taste...very very bad ..in adyar malabar house...

The ambience is really good, we had Chicken Shawarma, Egg Fried rice, Chicken Malabar Biryani, Appam & Malabar Chicken curry. It was all amazing had the taste and right flavour.

Expected a traditional Kerala set up but was disappointed when the waiter dint understand half of the Kerala specialities. Food was ok. Nothing great.A fancy restaurant with no connection to the name of the restaurant!
