Truly one of the best Kerala food experiences I’ve had recently! The Fish Nirvana with appam is a must try, absolutely delicious and full of authentic Kerala flavours. The restaurant has plenty of seating, a beautiful patio, and the place is very clean and welcoming. Definitely worth visiting if you’re a fan of Kerala cuisine. Highly recommended!

Had a wonderful experience at Malabar Kitchen Peterborough! The bucket biryani was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and had an authentic Malabar taste. The rice was perfectly cooked, the spices were just right, and the portion was generous. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Kerala-style biryani! ❤️🍛

Absolutely loved the Fish Nirvana Noolappam Combo! The fish was flavorful and soft noolappam paired beautifully with it. Mutton kurma was rich, creamy and meat was tender and delicious. Food and services are definitely satisfying and one I'd happily order again❤️

We had a great experience at Malabar Kitchen! Akshaya treated us very nicely and made our first visit really enjoyable. The porotta and beef were delicious, and the Chicken 65 was also really good. We really enjoyed the food and the service. Definitely one of the best South Indian restaurants in town!🔥
