Lovely experience, stellar service from Sushmitha and Abhimat. Only downside was that I went expecting south Indian biryani, but was served north Indian. Everything else was splendid.

This is the best Indian restaurant in the area. The menu has some specials you would not get many other places and the service is polite and attentive. The prices are certainly not high when compared to other central London Indian cuisine restaurants. The atmosphere is really nice, not too loud or quiet and the decor and the glass ceiling in the middle really add to it. Highly recommended!

This is the best South Indian food you will get in central London. It is so great we have become regulars. If you are ever in the Tottenham Court Road area you absolutely must visit. The naans are so delicious and the staff is so kind and attentive. Definitely a little gem in the city!

I had not had Indian for a while and so a friend found this place. The staff were friendly and the place was clean. The food was good and it was overall a good experience. We had a range of the food to try and have and I throughly enjoyed it all.

Very nice Indian food. Exclellent service. Clean and tidy. Will want to go there again.

Attentive staff and good quality of food.Would definitely recommend if youre in the area for a show or for shopping.

The food & hospitality was good!Malabar paratha is a must try...With high expectation, ordered fish fry but it was really disappointing; however, please give it a try. Its just that you cant compare with the fish fries you get in India!Definitely, their Gulab Jamun desert is a clear no go!

A lovely and quiet restaurant, with great choices and Helpful straff 😁.

Chicken jelfreizy can be spicier! The coconut supreme is amazing! Definitely the best coconut ice cream I’ve ever had. Foods are a bit pricy though 😆 wonderful staff!

Good food but they do more of a twist on kerala food

Good food and ambience.

Service was great, food was amazing. I was recommended the Konju Manga curry, and it was excellent with coconut rice. The interior was very nice as well.

Add filter coffee and Ill change rating to 5!Great food. Less spicy than my liking but could have told before. Vada and dosa was nice, Staff was nice and actually said no need to order more as this will be enough for you which is great to hear

We visited this restaurant as it was close to our hotel. How lucky we were! The food was only magnificent. As it was early December there was a large group in for their Christmas night out but despite the noise the food excelled. We had a prawn starter, a lamb curry dish and an okra dish with naan bread that we were sorry to see eventually come to a finish. I would definitely visit again when I’m back in London.

Always reliable central London curry house. Good menu with choices not often seen elsewhere. Good to experiment on new items.Good service which is normally friendly.Prices reasonable.Recommended if in that part of central London.

The food here is amazing! Best Indian Ive had in ages, and the staff are lovely too. Dosa are phenomenal!

South Indian style. Many familiar dishes, but others less so, especially the veggie side. Good room & friendly service. Portions fairly small but fine for me. Only disappointment was the green banana curry, which was tough & starchy. Price really not bad for Central London, at about £25 a head with modest drink.

Great curry that can come spicy if you ask; not oily and each dish has distinctive flavours. We are regulars.

Excellent Indian food served by charming staff. The dining room is light and airy with a Victorian glass roof. A most enjoyable experience!

Very good food

We were sightseeing in London for the day, heading home we decided to jump off the tube at Tottenham Court to find somewhere to eat, opting for side streets we found Malabar, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and found was exceptional. Our lucky find that wed recommend to all.

Excellent value and beautiful Southern Indian food. Staff were all friendly and attentive and we will come again - a hidden gem. Just two minor points - needs to open half an hour earlier for theatre goers and the toilets need to be updated, but we loved it

Nice little place in Bloomsbury if you are longing for food from the indian state of Kerala. The pricing is alright and quality of the food is good. Service was fast and the ambience is pretty good. Have visited this place a couple of times and will definitely visit again.

Wirklich lecker! Very nice waitress, comfortable chairs and and a nice view through the roof. Exactly what we needed after spending too much time in the bustle. I had the lamb korma with garlic nan and was amazed by its flavour. So much better than back in my hometown. Prices are reasonable.

Excellent food, service and prices. I really enjoyed this place.

My favorite location near Oxford Street in the Central London. Bit with authentic Indian taste attracts me everytime. If I remember very well Jane was the one who used to take care of the customers and every 10 or 15 minutes she pops up to check if everything is fine.

Delicious, one of the best curries I have had in London. Dosas a treat! Lovely service, will be back

Always a pleasure to eat here. Good food, try their wine, good staff and service. Never feels rushed or over fussed and prices are moderate. A definate 👍

Oh my gosh. Amazing!!! I was treated to a beautiful birthday meal here before a show at the Dominion. The staff are very understanding and so polite and the food was by far the best Indian cuisine i have tasted... ever!

Unusualual region to have Indian food from, for us any way, but very good and somewhat different from the usual Indian fare. Great service and great location. Have not been able to find a Malabar regional restaurant in NYC, which made Malabar Junction a great, delicious surprise! Cant wait to have Malabar food in NYC ... or London again!

Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere with the glass ceiling and South Indian food from the Kerala region with lots of gluten free options and coconut based dishes. Delicious!

Very authentic south Indian flavour. We have visited this place a few times over the last few years and it has never disappointed. Easy access to all modes of transport is a plus! Staff are very friendly.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. Its just 5 minutes walk from the British Museum and the heart of Bloomsbury. The food is excellent and the prices are extremely reasonable. The decor is lovely - an oasis of calm and cool, with plenty of room between the white table-clothed tables and a huge roof-light high above giving lots of light. Highly recommended.

Lovely decor. Staff warm and welcoming. Quite an array of dishes on the menu. Something for everyones taste. Reasonably priced too. Wines are also reasonable. House red was delicious. Wasnt overly busy when we visited on a Monday evening. Certainly recommend to people who ask for Indian food.

Ambience: Average.Staff: Very friendly. Above average.Menu Choice: GoodFood: Average. Biryani was average. Some of the dishes were more like tomato curry. Quantity was small. Only saving grace was Parotta (Very good).Price: Very pricey for the food served.Overall: Average. Too pricey for the food they served.

Great curry house. Great staff. Well priced.

Dropped into here just by chance. One of the best curries weve had in London. Friendly informative staff, great selection of food with larger than normal portions and a nice atmosphere. The place seems popular with the Asian crowd as there were families present when we were there.Not the cheapest place to eat but worth the little bit extra.

I loved this place. The service was excellent, it was so good i conciously thought to myself i must review this place. The food was excellent. Ive worked in kerala and the masala dosa i had here was the best ive had outside of kerala. Interesting south indian menu choices you dont usually see in the average curry house. Check it out.

Very good hospitality. Food with less oil. Good ambience. Reasonable price. Keep up the good work!

The ambience is on point. Food is a bit westernised. Not as spicy as a native would eat. The flavours were just about alright.

Very tasty curries and not your usual run of the mill menu. A good selection of alcohol too including premium spirits. Really enjoyed my meal and staff were very helpful.

Great Indian food, very friendly staff too. Highly recommended

Excellent place to get some delicious Indian food! Recommend the Malabar paratha with Malabar vegetable curry!

Restaurant that serves Kerala cuisine - a southern state of India. Ambience and service are good. But pricey. Not surprised being located in heart of central London. The dishes are tone down to English standard.

Great Tarka Dahl here. Was great surroundings and decently priced for London.

Best butter chicken I have had in London. Am bringing any new comers here that visit. Friendly and polite staff, excellent service! Lovely atmosphere.

The food was amazing and the staff were friendly and helpful. But due to the business, service was very slow. I still recommend

Decent Indian restaurant. Food is really good.. definitely way above the average curry house. Great location near the tube. Huge skylight so great for sunny days.

Brilliant. Food is superb. Service is top class

Lovely welcoming, great staff, service is fast and food light and well prepared. Prices a bit higher but very central location. I will return.

I couldnt have wished for a better place to celebrate my husbands 40th x

Great service. Great food. A bit pricey.

Happened upon this restaurant while hunting for food at 9:30 pm and it was a lucky find. A great space, good service and good food. Priced reasonably for the area. Just the job!

Absolutely delicious food!The butter chicken was a level above what Ive had back in Canada, and the dal I ordered was amazing.Fantastic service, very attractive interior.

I work round the corner when I am in the Smoke and also airbnb nearby so this is my local go to restaurant. Slowly working my way through the menu and all is first class. Particularly enjoyed the Biryani the visit before last and the lamb dishes are cool, well hot. Will sample the vegetarian ones soon.Quick friendly service and the main room is rather spectacular with an atrium that must be really impressive in daytime so will try a lunch one sunny day.

Authentic indian food and halal options. I recommend.

Serves good south Indian food. Had lunch there once the chutti was not of good coconut. The over all food and ambience was good.

Ive been eating regularly at this restaurant for nearly 20 years, and I have yet to have a bad meal or an unpleasant experience.The main restaurant is a delightful conservatory-style room behind the main building, large and airy, and quite unexpected in the heart of the West End.The cuisine is Kerala (emphasis on the first syllable) which means South Indian, not too fierce, and with a higher proportion of fish dishes than youll find in a high street curry house.The staff are unfailingly polite and welcoming, the background music is unobtrusive, and the basic stuff like cutlery and table linen is high quality.I used to think it a little pricey, but over the years the other eateries nearby have let their prices rocket while Malabar has not - its now a very sensible choice by comparison with other local offerings.

Good food. Very friendly staff. Always renovating which is a little offputting but all in all 👍

Great food, great service. The restaurant is a lovely conservatory style room. Staff very helpful and willing to offer advice on everything. Good value.

Quality Indian restaurant with a lovely interior and ambience. The service was exceptional.

Great service. Authentic South Indian food.

Excellent food,very reasonably priced & Extremely pleasant & friendly staff.

Couldnt be more satisfied. the service is excellent, the food is delicious, the place is nice and cozy.

Very tasty food, attentive and polite staff and a lovely setting. Doesnt get the full 5 stars because although the food is really good the menu is slightly limited when compared to other restaurants in this (mid range) price band

Great, tasty food, lovely staff, really clean and neat space!

Dont go for vegetarian dishes. They are just pathetic. I cannot comment on non-veg dishes, they might be good as the restaurant seems to be popular.

Lovely food and reasonably priced. Also great service.

Good Indian food. Friendly staff.. good service

Amazing food and service. Staff were lovely.

A couple of recommendations ... firstly, dont go on a Friday evening when your senses may be assaulted by a table of noisy regulars, whose company included a number of very loud American women, and I mean very loud. I asked the management to ask them to tone it down; well, Sir, they are regulars. Secondly, just dont go - the food is hot rather than flavoursome, and didnt begin to compare with excellent Keralan fish curries I had in India. All in all, disappointing, and I wont be going back. In fairness, the food was not awful; it just wasnt that tasty.

This is a mixed experience. The starters are outstanding, the mains are bland and quite poor. Service is Ok it feels like a propper restaurant. Prices are a bit high for the place. Stick to the starters and anything thats a starter and a main and youll enjoy it

The closing timings given here is 11.15 pm. I went yesterday at 10.20 pm and they said the restaurant is closed.With the last night experience today we made it in the afternoon with our group at lunch time. Fortunately we reached before they closed in the afternoon at 2.30 pm. And I was happy that we came here. Excellent food and service. We ordered Kerala fish curry which was just right and tasty. We had chicken chilly and Fried pomphrete which was delicious. We ordered Malabari paratha which was crisp and went well with the main dishes. We washed it down with Kingfisher beer which brought the home nostalgia. Overall a great experience. We liked the attrium and feeling of well lit and spacious restaurant.We will come here again for sure. Rita and her team was superb. Good service.Rita also said sorry for last night. All is well which ends well.

One of the best restaurants that we visited in london.. authentic food & excellent service.. in our 3week stay we ended up going 4times to malabar junction..

Very nice, authentic tastes on some of the dishes.

We enjoyed the Indian food.

Very nice setting. Fantastic service and quality food.

Note that This is the review for basement area at Malabar. Although the ground floor looked fine. We had made a booking for team dinner with buffet and this was organised by staff in the basement area. Little did we know that as compared to the beautiful ambience of normal floor, basement would be a small room with dull wall colours and lack of light. The seating was also restricted.Online reason for giving 2 stars is because of service and food. Both were ok. We had a buffet service with starters and main course (both veg & non veg).

Its a good restaurant,if we consider the fact of just delicious food.I found the staff rude and the service really poor.After the dinner ,the guy gave me the bill which was partly printed and some tax added to it which was just written using a pen.I recommend the management to train the staff better to give the guests a better chance of having a fine dine in this place.

The food taste good nothing extraordinary to the authentic Kerala cuisine that I was looking for. The aapams didnt taste like authentic ones. I was disappointed.They dont service kerela beef delicacies here. It is also bit to pricey. But, I received Good hospitality from the staff especially the lady staff which compensated for my taste buds.

Really tasty food and very friendly staff. Youll be so glad you went there.

We went to Malabar Junction for lunch after visiting British Museum. Restaurant was airy and spacious, very good selection of South Indian food.The Owner was very friendly and he suggested us a few dishes from the menu. We ended up ordering Malabar Paratha, aviyal, rice and kurma. Portions were good and food was mildly spicy and delicious. Definitely worth giving it a try!

Lovely cozy indian and great food

Its got a nice location, just down the road from the British Museum, and the food is tasty. The ambience in the centre of the restaurant include a large skylight.

Priced reasonably to taste and quality Strongly recommended Service is the best

Awesome food. Some of the best Kerala cuisine we’ve had ever and we have spent lots of time in Kerala.

Food is okay but the service is incredibly slow. expect a wait time of 1.5hours

The Meen Moli fish curry and uttapam was outstanding! Highly recommend the passion fruit lassi too! Probably the best place for Malabar cuisine in London.

Good, the chilly chicken was great, thr dosa and the lassi was okay. Would come back for a quick meal. Didnt try the curries yet

A good varied menu and food is served quickly

Exceptionally good Indian food. Take it from a visiting Indian! The dal tadka and coconut-based chicken dishes were exquisite. The chapatis were light as air! Among the best Indian restaurants outside of India, and I can say this with confidence having tried Indian restaurants in 20 different cities across five different countries in four continents.

Been here several times. The best curries, in a cool dining room with fab staff.

Lovely sunny room. Friendly personnel. Fabulous food. Good value.

Excellent food and service.

Friendly staff and excellent food. Love the plantain curry and chikker chole!

Average Kerala Food. But clean and nice ambience

Good collection of dosas. Recommended.

Probably the best Indian food in London and terrific service too

Nice food but they are very slow...
