Our Story
Malabar cuisine comes from Kerala's northern coast, where centuries of spice trade brought Arab, Persian and European travellers to ports like Kozhikode and Thalassery. Their influence blended with local Kerala cooking to create one of India's most distinctive food traditions — fragrant biriyanis, coconut-rich curries, fiery seafood roasts and slow-cooked meats, all built on black pepper, cardamom, cloves and fresh curry leaves.
At the heart of Kerala's food culture is the Sadya — a festive vegetarian feast served on a banana leaf, with dozens of dishes that balance sweet, sour, salty, bitter and spicy in a single meal. Sadya is about more than food: it is shared at Onam, Vishu, weddings and family celebrations, where everyone sits together and eats as one.
That spirit of traditional family dining is what we bring to every table at Malabar Palace — recipes passed down through generations, cooked with care, and served to be shared.

This was our third visit to this restaurant, and each time we are impressed. We ordered delicious Pani puri, a flavorful poori set, and aromatic nasi biryani. The taste consistently delights us, and Mr. Nandu, the attentive waiter, always shows genuine care and concern for our dining experience, making every visit truly enjoyable.

Nice food! They make their yoghurts and paneers in house, and try to use mustard and coconut oil for most things instead of palm oil. Really nice balance of flavors and an extensive menu of Southern and Northern Indian food.
