A small and tiny place. The restaurant is located in the hundred feet road, Velacherry. The restaurant is in upstairs. In Chennai, I tried many restaurants which provide Kerala food. Also, one of the busiest restaurants in Chennai town. Out of them, Malabar Kitchen is the best. They provide a unique taste, must try. Timely service and good ambience. The service was super-fast & the dishes were super-tasty. Because of the taste, its always busy and flooded with people. Very friendly staff and down to earth management. Credit cards are accepted. Interior works are really very nice. The restaurant air-conditioned. Waiters and cleaning staff do their job well. A good spot for Kerala food lovers in Chennai. The desserts too were very good. A calm atmosphere. Good ambience to have food with family and friends. Can get crowded during holidays and weekends with waiting time for seating. The drawbacks, in my opinion, is having to climb up the steps on a very heavy stomach, Do not have parking space and very limited seating capacity. Reasonable price. Good staff and good management. I really suggest this restaurant for Kerala food lover and food lovers, worth a visit. I wish them very best.

Nice food. Ambience is also good. They prepared food freshly and took lil bit more time.

One of the Kerala Cusine with the authentic Kerala food taste. A big applause for the interior and maintenance. The lightings were good and attractive too. Restaurant is maintained very good and is clean and tidy with an appealing look. You can taste all the basic types of food like Puttu kadala curry or chicken curry and mutton curry too. You can also get Malabar parota, Kappa, Liver fry of chicken and mutton both. Thalassery biriyani is available. All sea foods are available here like Prawn, fish, squid, crab, oyster and all these varieties as well as desserts like Elaneer payasam, semiya payasam and paruppu paysam as well and still more.

Great place for seafood, kerala style.

Decent place. Must try malabar fish curry with red rice. Payasam s good as dessert. Overall good place.

An authentic Malyali place in Chennai.The ambience is nothing extravagent but is decent enough for a family dinner,the place is hygienic and the staff polite.The prices are pretty affordable considering the portion size they offer.

With Limited menu they serve good food.

Service is slow but food is good

Its ok . go for the ghee rice, biriyani is ok and price is kinda higher

In one word SUPERBBBBBBBBBBBBBBNYC AMBIANCETASTY FOODRECOMMENDING FOR ALL CHENNAI MALLUS

Taste good but i got cockroach egg from rice when order ghee rice and chicken curry combo in swiggi ... 😐 please use good rice and all ....

Good place for quality Kerala food. Tasty! Price bit on the upper side

Gud place to have elaneer paayasm

Good Kerala Restaurant. Malabar Biriyani and Nethili Fish Fry (Spicy Fried Anchovies) was good. Falooda was exceptionally delicious and I never felt this taste even with other top class restaurants.

Good place to dine kerala food..

Proper I mean Proper Malabar style food, a bit towards the Kannur and Kasargod style. Altho the Biryani is Calicut style.Everything is fine, just the price is bit too much and have big time parking issue.

Good for Kerala style non veg food. Appam was not good. Clean restaurant.

Good food, but no car parking available.

Best restaurant. Food very tasty and delicious. Way of treating customer excellent.

Tamil peoples plz dont go to this shop😶

No crowd. Quality, quality and price are OK compared to similar restaurants nearby.It has only limited seating capacity, around 40.Though it is a Kerala restaurant, all the staff are north Indians, except the owner.The main drawback is parking, there is no car parking; not even proper 2 wheeler parking. But Vijayanagar bus stand is in walkable distance.

Will get good Kerala food. Its a bit expensive when compare with other restaurant. Also not having parking facility for 4 wheeler.

Had been to the ADYAR branch of MALABAR KITCHEN last week for dinner. The service was super-fast & the dishes were super-tasty. Reminded me of my granmas cooking. We were a gang of 5 & ALL of us appreciated it,which is,in itself,a rare accomplishment. The desserts too were very good. The only drawback in my opinion is having to climb up the steps on a very heavy stomach!!! Heres wishing them the very best! 🙂

Food is good. I would recommend this place to taste some near authentic Kerala style dishes.

Ambience and Serving was nice..Kappa Chicken curry and Black Tea combo was awesome..Rice is a bit half steamedBriyani taste is good.No parking space available.Hardly noticeable..Plays a good collection of Malayalam songsAffordable price

I love this place. Often visited for its unique Malabar taste. Best price and quantity served with great hospitality. Located on the main roads creates a trouble for parking but worth the hassle.

Very nice ambience and good service. Foods are very tasty

I will recommend everyone to visit Atleast once this Kerala restaurant in Velachery,chennai. The food was too delicious. As the name indicates every dish has a mere touch of Malabar style. It is a small unit of Malabar kitchen situated in the busy highway. The major drawback of the restaurant is there no space for parking and you cannot even park your car/bike nearby to the hotel. Since it is very difficult to find a parking space nearby the national highway, many people will avoid this restaurant. Except the parking issue, you everyone can have a try on this restaurant who loves Kerala dishes. The cost is bit high. But compared to the taste, its worth.

Taste of Kerala foods in Chennai

Super homely kerala food.....had podi choir and chicken Biriyani.....yummy taste.....would love to go there again....

Food is authentic malabar taste. It is located on first floor with difficult to spot entrance. No parking facility, even for 2 wheelers. To visit this place one needs to come by cab.

I had Poratta with Kozhi porichathu, which is super in taste, gives a real feeling of Kerala(Except the gravy with poratta). A really nice environment with old songs. Very interesting thing is the water bottle in each table by reusing liquor bottles. Good staff and Clean environment. Parking is little difficult. All other things are fine.

Awesome biriyani.. Crispy porottas... I wish they had Chilly Chicken too...

Must try dish elaneer payasam..😋😋..appam and idiqppam are highlights ..combos have a good value for money

Tried Fish Curry Meals and Chicken Biryani. Both tasty and authentic Kerala style. Their unique Tender Coconut Pāyasam is also good...

Tasty home food type. Reasonable price. Safe for kids and senior citizens. Must try place

Good place..tasty Kerala food worth for money

The squid fry was the best dish. Puttu with chicken gravy was a great combination. Vegetable stew was not good. Good find.

Very Good Food. Absolute Kerala taste. Definitely recommended place for Kerala Taste Food.

I was very skeptical about mixed reviews but decide to give a try definitely good restaurant. Authentic Malabar food and clean food . Got good taste and excellent service . 4 star since no parking option for car .

Excellent place for Kerala food. I have tried meals with squid roast. Too spicy and delicious. Calm atmosphere. Good service

Delicious Kerala chicken meals

😋😋😋

Good food. Great menu. Located in a prime space difficult to spot in traffic.

High price, bad service, if we are comparing with price quantity is bad,

Good taste of kerala briyani and chicken gravy..

Guys.....I dont know how to even describe their food....In simple way i can tell you this much, anybody especially keralites craving for their moms food, straight away go to Malabar Kitchen. That delicious it is.....Finger Licking Taste😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋I hope they will start up more and more branches....

Nice kerala meals they provide and the fish were fresh too...

Tasty. Good portion. Nice service. Parking should be provided.

Food is authentic and delicious. Non-veg is the highlight but they have some tasty veg options as well. Very reasonably priced. Porottas are flaky and perfect.

I had a mutton biriyani from Malabar after a very long time.Pros: affordable price for the ambienceQuantity of food is more than what you will haveCons: taste was not up to the mark..may be just happened for the day but still they have to work more on the taste of food

Excellent biriyani, kerala style food including puttu and kadala, superb lime tea.

Good Malabar biryani and momos, poor meals, many dishes are made without muhabbath.

Very worst place not good enough like a kerala hotel and also worst food. High rateIam not satisfied

Lovely lunch today.Service was awesome.Will be back definitely!

Loved it

Nice courtoeus staff and manager. Decent food. Take aways are better as no good parking spot available .

Nice atmosphere..Good food options..Better kerala tastes..Lesser waiting..Price little high..

1st time ordered paruppu pradhaman through swiggy after studying the reviews worst experience. Never had a old payasam stored from fridge. Worst. Waste of money 😪

Very less Menu no soup or starters. Recommend only for quick lunch. Food is good. Vegetarian has a very less option.

Its ok . Fish curry not met with kerala taste

Ordered via uber eats. Worst food ever had in chennai. Ordered chicken curry with parota. Only tomato curry was given and had chicken pieces in it. Taste was very worst . The meals they give is via disposable plastic plate with compartments as a mini meal came closed with plastic . The meals came spoiled when it reached and only positive note was it had fish in it. The fish curry never had fish taste(only coconut taste) and the chicken curry was made of tomato. In thakkali thokku they have made gravy and added chicken. Only the rice is Kerala

Clean and good restaurant. Good taste. Reasonable price.

Traditional and seasonal Kerala foods. Good taste. Above average price

Quite good tastes of Kerala. Little expensive..no parking..

Kerala Meals was Good. Ambience also very Good

Food was Ok..Not so great..But ambiance is good. one more problem, there is no parking lot. We ordered fish curry, But it seems to be old fish. Over all 3/5 :D

Good meals - 99 veg and 145 fish-meals (which is missing or non-existant on other kerala restaurant menus). Good ambience. Great food pictures on the wall. Friendly host and service.

Its a nice place to have south indian breakfast. Not a very great ambience but its pocket friendly and food tastes good.

Good restaurant. Tried Kappa, appam, idiyappam, prawn curry and chicken curry. It was not too bad or not too good. Price is bit on the higher side with respect to the quantity. Good ambience with nice Malayalam music.

One of the best place to get kerala foods in chennai. puttu with fish curry is awesome. ilanneer payasam is yummy.

Good.. this is really a good place to hang out with friends... When u have Soo many restaurants near ur place u wont know which one to choose.. this one is really good.. u just love it 🙂 I prefer this restaurant.. taste is good as well as ambience.. food was tasty.. you guys love it. If planning for corporate lunch or dinner this is best place to hang out.. you get the seats easy without any Hassel ...

Tasty Good and economical. The owner of the place truly a wonderful human being and has a pleasant personality. The food we had with guest was veg as well as non-veg. The vegetable dish paneer masala was truly perfect in taste and flavour. The non veg was fish curry with appam again was liked greatly.Would surely recommend the place

Nice but background little disturb..but nice average

Malabar Kitchen is one of the best outlet for those who love varieties of Malabar cusine, especially North Kerala. The Menu is mouth watering . It will dive you back into nostalgia and can feel the taste of home made food. A never miss for those who want to try Kerala food. Try out. I would recommend a take away if you wish to have with the homely feel.

Nice food .we had kappa and meen curry ...it was awesome ..but dont buy natholli fry .. waste of money ...it was too bad

Experienced of eating my own traditional food after a long year brings back my past time with my family... The best place in chennai whether the climate is hot or cold the place is lovely.... Best place to suggested for family getto

Price is really heavy here. Even compared to kumarakom.. only few combos seemed to be cheap. Anyone interested here can first have a look on the menu (which should be there in the photos) and decide. Food quality is ok, but the pricing makes to think twice.

Kerla food coconut nice

Tastey kerala food

Stew and Aapam are their strength and all time favourite

Okay food, and nice place to spend time enjoy kerala style food. not many places in Chennai serve kerala style food.this might be closest u get

I ordered Chicken Biriyani in Malabar kitchen via swiggy. What I received is Chicken Biriyani without any side dish. Worst experience dont try here.

Nice restaurant. Tastes real kerala food

You wana explore kerala food at velachery, explore malabar kitchen. Parking is a concern.

Best Kerala hotel in velachery

Home food away from home. Their kerala parottas and chicken curries were so good in a very reasonable price:)

So far the best restaurant for north kerala cuisine in Chennai. Chicken biriyani is a must try main cuisine

This is a quite and good Malabar restaurant. The food tastes good and the prices are very reasonable especially the combo. The service is good enough, so is the hospitality. We had kerala porotta Chicken combo @130 which was really worth. The Natholi fry @150 had very good quantity and tasted just fine. All in all its a Malabar restaurant to check out if you are in the area. Probably not worth coming from somewhere far, as chennai do have better kerala offerings.

Malabar kitchen, nice kerala cusine... My hus enjoyed the kerala rice and fish curry. My kids liked the prawns 65 and malabar parotta. I liked the food. But still felt like something is missing. And we enjoyed the elaneer payasam.

I ordered Dosa in Malabar kitchen via Zomato. What I received is plain Dosa without any side dish. Worst experience dont try here.

Price is high compared to the other traditional restaurant by comparing the quantity. Food is awesome and have a good ambience..

Foods are authentic and spicy.. Air circulation is little off

Third visit to this restaurant. All three take away orders. Neat packaging. Have tried their kadala curry, parota, squid, prawns , mutton, chicken fry plus their vishu special sadhya. The ones I have had is really good. Tastes like home cooked food. Will definitely recommend to others and will definitely try out their other dishes.

Good ambience and one of the good place in Chennai to have Malabar curry with Indian breads. For those who like Chettinad foods dont try Britani or rice here as it will end with a bad experience for you.

Food was fresh, close to authentic malabar cuisine the staff courteous ...overall delightful experience

Really amazing .....ambience and good quality

Different flavours.. And definitely its an must try

One of the best places to have mallu food... I badly wanted to try once in this restaurant and the taste took me back to kerala...Kannava roast was amazing to have with parotta

Taste never disappoints me... Only challenge sometimes is that fish wouldnt be fresh :(
