"After trying numerous Indian restaurants in our area, Malabar was one that had yet to be on our list. Despite hearing positive reviews, we decided to give it a shot. While the food was decent, it wasn't exceptional. The restaurant had received awards in 2013 and 2016, but we felt that these accolades were now outdated. Upon arrival, we requested poppadoms to snack on while we perused the menu, only to be told that we couldn't have them until we placed our main order. This was a first for us and we found it perplexing. Eventually, we had to flag down a waiter to take our order. The service was lackluster and the staff seemed indifferent. The food took a while to arrive, as indicated on the menu that it was freshly cooked. When it did come, it was tasty, but my husband's request for a spicier Tikka Masala wasn't honored. We both ordered shashlick dishes and were asked about salad and mint yogurt almost as an afterthought. The portion of salad served was surprisingly small. The waiters started clearing plates before we were finished eating, which was off-putting. We were among the last diners, and the staff began vacuuming while we were still there. Overall, the service and ambiance left much to be desired, and we won't be revisiting this restaurant in the future."

Lobster prawn starter 10/10. Chicken Ceylon probably best curry in wolves. Best to go in week as it gets silly busy on Friday and Saturday

We had a fantastic dinner last night. The food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It's best to visit during the week when it's not too crowded.

Lovely quality food and very tasty! My only niggle is the portion sizes (takeaway) are on the smaller side for the price. Would definitely recommend though

First time visit and absolutely the best Indian food I have eaten anywhere. The lamb chops are a thing of wonder. We will definitely be back very soon to sample some of the more adventurous offerings on the menu. Simply wonderful.

2.5 hours for a main course and popadoms. Really busy but don’t take on more than the kitchen can cope with. Had to ask repeatedly for food, drinks, the bill and to pay the bill. Nice to catch up with our friends in a lovely environment but wouldn’t rush back on a Saturday evening.

From the minute we walked in, lovely atmosphere, lovely looking place, and very nice staff. Would highly reccomend this place, food was amazing and another drink was on the table for me before i finished the sentence of asking. Will definately be returning to try more of the menu. Thanks guys at Malabar, lovely resteraunt.

Until recently the food at Malabar has been superb, especially the lamb chops which were the best anywhere. Unfortunately, our most recent two visits have been disappointing with dry, overcooked food and lamb chops which were tough and mostly gristle. Either they have a new chef or a new supplier of produce, possibly both, but standards have definitely slipped over the last couple of weeks or so. Based on our earlier great experiences we'll give them one more go but there will need to be a dramatic improvement if they're to retain our custom.
