Very good food and even better hospitality. As and where required they top and tail the food to your requirements. Not only did we eat in but we also got some food as takeaway. Tinto, our server was on top of his game and absolutely brill. Dont think twice about eating here - simply stunning,

Please try to avoid this restaurant at all costs. We were a group of 7 people ans we have never had such a terrible experience. This place is not safe. The rudest staff we have ever encountered. They did not even serve the food for two friends. Racist place and threathed us to call police. Me and our friends will attach all the pics and vidoes for reference.

Craving Kerala food, we entered the restaurant and were taken aback by the warm hospitality snd the pure taste of home cooked food on our tongues. I would give this place a 5 star. Ask for the main guy called Thintu

We ordered the samosas, onion bhaji, prawn dosa and the malabar king prawn curry. The onion bhaji were the best we had, really full of flavor! The samosas were surprisingly big for wha were used to. They were tasty though a bit more spicy and onion would help. Both the dosa and the curry have were absolutely delicious. I particularly liked the curry. It was thicker than what I was used to but it was awesome. Portions were generous too and for the jeera rice as well. This restaurant was a pleasant surprise as the flavors are different from the typical Indian food youre probably used to. Will definitely return!

Costa do Malabar is a local South Indian restaurant, close to Mercado de Arroios. As a regular client for the past 4 years, I must say the food is amazing and quite different from all Indian restaurants here in Lisboa. Their staff and business owner, are always attentive to their clients well being and remarks, and they make a great effort into bringing real south indian cuisine into every dish. Tasty, cozy ambience, friendly staff and renovated space. A must go to every local and tourist cruising around the coolest neighbourhood in Lisbon, Arroios.

This is one of the best Indian places Ive been. The food is great and tasty and the portions are really good. The menu is not the typical one of an Indian restaurant which, in this case, is great because you have new stuff to try. The staff was nice and friendly. Its not easy to find a parking space but you can use public transportation.

Must visit for lovers of Keralite cuisineDuring travel opinion fir lunch and dinner is limited to Punjabi cuisine especially for vegetarians.This place gives you good options of Keralite type of cuisine.Liked the Ambience though a small neat place to dine. Staff is extra nice and goes out of way to satisfy your whims.Taste of dishes I tasted was awesome especially pyasam.

Review β„–38

Not recommended. Food was delicious but today they were just playing with us by serving tasteless food. We ordered 2*samosa, 2dosas and drinks. We changed the samber 3 times but they were serving the same. The person who serves everyday, he is used to handle the reception areas and waitress duties as well, was so rude. He must have good sense of customer service and how to communicate with customers and how to serve with good manners. His behaviour is totally unacceptable and totally depend on the customer types. If the customer is European he behaves good, else with theindian people he behaved so rudely.

If you are looking to try authentic indian cuisine other than the regular butter chicken and stuff this is definitely the place for you. The ambience and the service is good. Its difficult to find many of the dishes available here anywhere else in Lisbon. I would definitely go there again though.Do give the semiya payasam a try if you are looking for an Indian dessert.

Quality Indian food, with authentic taste. The quantity of the appetizers is less but is compensated in the main course. The place has a vast range of dishes, each with a different taste. Their mango lassi is definitely worth trying. The staff is lovely and the service is quick. The place doesnt look great from outside but is definitely worth a visit.

Being mostly on the road means its important to find food sanctuaries. Food isnt just taste, but also health (freshness) and energy (the community behind) and this place checks out on all 3! I have eaten everything vegetarian on the menu in the last week and come back literally each and every day. Support the amazing chefs, staff (singers) in the longest running south Indian restaurant in Portugal.

Costa do Malabar is my favourite Indian restaurant in Lisbon. Here, you wont find your typical chicken tikka masala, instead you will find authentic South Indian dishes that will surprise you! The food is delicious and the staff is amazing, always looking for customers feedback. It is a must for anyone who loves Indian food and wants to try new flavours.

Costa Do Malabar is a unique and signature restaurant of Indian foods in the heart of Lisbon city. It has speciality in south Indian foods. The foods are absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. I went there with my family. From my little son to my old mother, including my husband not only just loved the foods, they simply enjoyed the whole ambience. The owner is very kind and friendly and the staffs are very sober. The team is maintaining the European standards in every prospect. I strongly recommend to all food lovers to visit there. Trust me. You will not be disappointed. My good wishes to team Costa Do Malabar..🌺🌻🌼🌷🍁🌼🌺
