A Malabar speciality restaurant with the classic interiors located near to hutatma chowk. It offers variety of Malabar cuisine and other varieties at very affordable prices in Sobo. The ambience is superb and the staff is helpful and polite enough.
In frame - chicken nadan curry with malabar parotta, chicken lollypop and iddyapam with tomato saar.
1) chicken nadan curry with malabar parotta- (3.5/5) The curry was thick and had a very typical south indian gravy taste with coconut paste and curry leaves tadka to it with spices ofcourse. Moderately spiced. Tried the malabar parotta for the first time was a fulfilling experience as the size of parotta is enough for a person
2) Chicken lollypop -( 3.5/5) This was similar to what we get in other restaurant nothing extraordinary, fried crisp but what I loved was the Schezwan sauce with it. Spicy red with right amount of oil and taste of garlic.
3) iddyapam with tomato saar (4/5) This is again a special Kerala dish so naturally they have mastered it. Sort of rice noodles (steamed) and also a substitute for rice, combine it with the tomato saar ( tomato curry) given with it.
4) payasam -(4/5) this sweet dish was given complimentary to us with our meal. Also there is a special sweet dish everyday and if lucky u may get it complimentary as well.
Overall rating - 4/5
Final verdict, I would suggest to try their Malabar cuisine as they have mastered it and would give you a fulfilling experience 😊👍🏻 all in all a good experience and a suggestion to increase the quantity in the plates 👍🏻✨
Well this place is quite famous around fort area... Ambience is very much comfortable and relaxing... Staff are too supportive and coordinating... Malabar dum biryani is one of the special thing here and it was better than biryani from many other places...also we ordered some veg thali along with nan and curry... I can give this place 4/5
So this particular day I was yearning for some authentic, no B. S. Kerala cuisine. After lot of Google-ing, I came across Taste of Malabar. And off I went to satisfy my craving. So as it turns out, this is actually a No BS place. It's decent in its ambience. Not too fancy, but very clean and welcoming. The menu card had all the proper malabari sounding dishes. Some which I could not even pronounce properly.
We ordered
1- Kappa biryani
2- Chicken Malabari Biryani
3- Surmai fry, the malabar style
4- Chicken Nadan Curry
Here is my take on it, the food tasted amazing. The biryani was awesome, I could not stop praising it enough.
The chicken curry was something very different and I loved it.
The fish fry was average, I mean not bad but nothing out of the ordinary as such.
Overall it was a nice experience, and worth the time I spent on trying to find the place.
So I was happy and my tummy was happy.
Paisa vasool.
P. S. Was too busy eating, so dint take any pictures.
Hidden in the lanes of Fort, Taste of Malabar is a restaurant serving amazing Malabari cuisine. I discovered this place while walking towards CST from Fort and was pulled in immediately.
Even though the place is situated in Mumbai, there is a South Indian feel in the ambience. The place is well kept, simple and clean. The Kota flooring maintains the modesty of the place. The walls are half tiled and half wallpaperd. Wall behind the counter holds a sunset at the sea secenery, with coconut trees and birds flying back home.
The waiters quickly acknowledge the customers and drinking water is served, the menu card is given.
Without looking much into the menu, I enquired about the food to a waiter and ordered a Chicken Masala Fry, Malabari Paratha and Chicken Biryani. Salad was served and the food came quickly.
The Chicken Masala Fry was amazing. Cooked in mild spices with coconut, dry red chillies and curry leaves, the whole dish was finger licking good and tasted amazing with the Parathas.
The Chicken Biryani had a homely taste. Cooked with small grained rice, and a very tasty mix of chicken, onions, tomatoes and spices. The meal ended with some complimentary Sevaiyan Payasam.
Special mention for the hygiene and super polite staff.
Turnoff:
Even though the restaurant has ACs, they didn't switch it on just because there were few customers.
Taste: 4.5/4
Ambience: 4.5/5
Service: 5/5
Value for money: 5/5
"Belly rules the mind" ............. Exploring South indian cuisine with friends...... Awesome malabari food ....... Mouthwatering..... above all 'It not expensive'.... I have visited this place many times the food is really good and upto the mark... The staff is also very friendly....
I have tried
1) mutton pepper fry 4/5 the dish is really good.
2) surmai fry 3/5 the fish is really cooked nicely.
3) chicken briyani- 4/5 cooked in a different style
4) squid gravy- 4/5 a bit expensive but up to the mark both in quantity as well as quality.
The service is also very fast.
Whoever loves south Indian food, this is the place they need to visit. One suggestion, if going for Saddam plz dont order anyother side dish, as saddam is too filling. Apart from Saddam(THALI) there are whole host of veg and non veg dishes.....
Love food here pure authentic must try
Landed at this place, while hunting for authentic Kerala food in the Fort area. Went in basis good reviews and honestly very happy to have discovered this tiny little gem!
Ambience : you are transported directly to an upcountry restaurant experience when you find a seat in this eatery, everything about the decor reminds me of a stop at any highway local restaurant during road trips in Kerala.
Food : we ordered a few favorites, Idiyappam with veg stew, Puttu with kadala curry and Kappa to go as accompaniment. Serving puttu with kadala is a given, but pleasantly surprised when they served pappadams with this. That's truly authentic (missed steamed banana, that would have made this 100% homely). Tastewise, everything ticked well, except the kappa was a bit bland and lacked softness (could have cooked it a bit more)
Service : is relaxed and friendly, this means it's not a place where you rush into and expect food to appear within minutes
Pricing : very pocket friendly
What else : near the counter, they have an array of authentic Kerala items, tapioca and jackfruit chips in particular, if you are interested. Tried them, they are good. There's also virgin coconut oil and baby mango picked in brine and chillies.
Will I go again : YESS...

Taste of Malabar was genuinely a hidden gem I discovered in Fort, Churchgate.
The place serves authentic South Indian(Kerala) cuisine plus normal Indian food at really affordable price.
Tried out their prawns Biryani the other day. And it was really awesome both in terms of quality and quantity.

Food is amazing,
If you are visiting don't try biryani rather try any chicken dish and a prophet fish.
I am sure u'll like it.
Moreover this place has got really good sadhya. So if you want to try just don't think twice go for it.
Ask them to give special red kerela water. It's complementary
The cuisine at the Kerala Restaurant was a flavorful journey through South India. Each dish was a burst of authentic spices and unique flavors, showcasing the region's culinary richness. From the delectable appams to the tantalizing fish curry, every bite was a delightful celebration of Kerala's gastronomic heritage. The restaurant's ambiance and attentive service complemented the exceptional dining experience.
A nice joint to relish south Indian food. My first visit to this place as I was visiting kala kala fest, and was bit hungry. Just wanted to take quite bite but ended a while mean on banana leaf.
The taste is quite authentic and servings are good enough to make you full. The prices are surprisingly cheap. Veg thali is around 175 unlimited and non veg is 250.
Happy to have visited the place. Since metro work is in full swing make sure you use GPS to reach this place.
One of the best place in Mumbai where you can find the real taste of Kerala. Nice service and hospitality. Seating and interior is also impressive.
They try to serve the authentic Malabar Style Food. I'm from the Malabar region of Kerala and the taste here is almost matching with the real Malabar taste (though they have limitations here, it's still the best).
They previously had breakfast buffet but they stopped that now.
Nice authentic kerala style sadya served here with good ada payasam and loved the kappa chicken curry.Bro serving all this was so friendly and suggestive
