David NicolJune 12, 2011As with most curry houses in Sydney, hot means medium. But unlike most others the curry is excellent. My recommendation is the prawn balchao or the chicken chetinad. Call ahead for special vege orders
JDecember 10, 2021Lunch thali is really good! Not shown on the QR code menu, so you’d need to ask for it. More expensive than Kammadhenu, but similar in taste
Decent indian food. I really enjoyed their mallagu prawns, very good flavours. Gulab jamoon in the desserts was just perfect with the ice cream, a must try.
Laura Bedson-DuqueFebruary 3, 2018Incredible food, cheese naan is delicious and the chicken curry was very light and very flavoursome. Loved it.
Vicky MachinanNovember 21, 2015Fresh Indian food that won't feel heavy even after compulsively eating many naans - also best fish curry and palak paneer!
Ben ThomasNovember 13, 2018Very friendly service at this cozy Darlinghurst Indian restaurant. Can't go past the Chicken Makhani with some Garlic naan.
Jake AndrewFebruary 14, 2018Really incredible Indian food! Best I’ve had in years... or ever?! Not the touristy place I guessed by the location.- BrendanJuly 15, 2011One of the best Curry houses in Sydney. Beware it is best to book on weekend night as it gets very busy. My favourite, Lamb Varutha.
Yash GodboleDecember 13, 2014Definitely try the chicken Chettinad! But be sure they're serving the Malabar paratha on the day :)
All about the butter chicken and beef vindaloo! Ask for spicy if you want an extra kick.
Donagh O'KeeffeFebruary 8, 2012Don't order the goat, it's all bones & fatty pieces. Lots of work and no payoff! Order the Lamb curry (mild) it's great.
Delivery HeroApril 3, 2012Food at the Malabar is a real delicacy for the lovers of South Indian cuisine. Mild, Medium or Hot, delivered to your door
Li JacksonDecember 28, 2011Butternut Chicken is amazing. Worth getting the banquet if there is a group of you!
Gerry LuxJune 17, 2010Goan Fish Curry - is the GOD of all curries. Don't touch the crunchy salad. It's the Devil.
