Malabar Biriyani House — Restaurant in Kerala

Happend to find upon this small biryani spot near Albert’s College and Saritha Theatre — and it was a pleasant surprise! The shop is quite small, with limited dining space, but don’t let that fool you. The biryani here is super flavorful and comes with a complimentary sulaimani (which was perfect after the meal).

The quality of the food is excellent for the price — very affordable and way better in taste compared to many high-end places. It’s freshly prepared and served hot, which makes the whole experience even better.

Visited Mala Bar Briyani Hotel with my family of five, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The place is quite small, but what it lacks in space, it makes up for in hospitality. The owner/manager and staff were very supportive and welcoming, which made the experience even better. This is a very small restaurant.

The menu is simple—only briyani, but they do it well. They offer mutton (₹240), chicken/beef (₹160), and also egg and veg options. We tried the Kerala-style briyani which came with raita, pickle, and a crispy pappadam. The portion size was just right, maybe even a little extra, and the meat pieces were well-cooked and flavorful.

What made the visit even more special was seeing my grandmother enjoy her meal thoroughly—especially considering she hadn’t been too impressed with other Mallu restaurants during our cochin stay. Overall, it’s a great spot if you’re craving a comforting plate of Kerala-style briyani with a...

Definitely you won't get a disappointment, since they serve good quality food with an affordable price.. personally i will suggest you guys, if you ask me an opinion regarding biriyanis!!! No need for a hype!!! Then i would like to recall Mansoorka's (Owner i think) behavior to me, since i forgot to take my wallet, i asked for google pay fortunately it's available.. after finishing my food, i tried multiple times to pay via gpay, since he's a generous person.. he gave me his gpay number and allowed me to pay him as per my convenience. Only a kindful person can think like that, later i paid through gpay itself. And i love to share this incident, even though his business was really going through bad times, he's risking Rs.120/- for an unknown person like me! That's the surprising...
