Malabar Restaurant — Restaurant in Delhi

Hidden away in Sarai Julena, right opposite The Surya Hotel, is Malabar Restaurant — one of the few spots in the area repping authentic Kerala food.

We rolled in around 9 pm for dinner and went all in: Buff Roast, flaky Malabar Porottas, a spicy tuna fry, and their signature Malabar Chicken Biryani.

Had a black tea, the best.(2022) I had went to Annie's Kerala kitchen the other day, and I feel I have to give Malabar restaurant more points for their meals. I went again to the hotel, now they have increased the price of meals to rs 126. But still worth it, for just to taste homely food for South Indians It's becoming costly...
