Malabar Cafe

One of the best buffets I ever tasted. The menu is so well crafted to satisfy a wide spectrum of people across the world. Ambience is classy. The theeyal and pachadi was out of this world. So well made with a lot of love. I would definitely visit this place again. The only downside i felt is the desert section. They could have added ice creams

The place itself is so overwhelming. The interiors are done so beautifully that refreshes your mind and soul. Tried their buffet. It has so many varieties of dishes, north indian , south indian. Also there was margarita pizza,and alfam.. that was different from normal buffets.. The starter barbequed prawns and tawa seer fry had a unique flavour. The attirachi samosa and chicken tikka was superb. The palkatti which was paneer fry was average. Kappa meencurry combo was delicious.The thalassery chicken biriyani, was tasty. There were wide options for pickles as well.Also the grill chicken,lamb stew, corn and scaffold rice and vegetable parmigiana,was nice. There were different varieties of salads which were all refreshing.Special mention to the desserts . The mango cheesecake, white angel pudding, chocolate gateux, honey nut icecream, cottoncandy icecream, burfies,all were yummy..!! Each of their item had a unique flavour.The service was really exceptional. The place is such a beauty and the view is so great, perfect for a nice stroll. The restrooms were all so well maintained and so pretty!

I went to the Malabar Cafe for their dinner buffet, which had a large variety of mouth watering dishes. The cafe looks amazing, just what anyone would expect from a 5 star hotel's restaurant. All of the dishes, ranging from Kerala cuisine, Indian cuisine, Mediterranean salads, grills, a few Italian varieties and more had a decent quality, only very few dishes stood out. The food was pleasant, but for it's cost I would have expected a little better, but it didn't disappoint. With the countless options they provide I would recommend going early to have the time to try out all of them 😁. They have a delicious dessert collection too, but having a drawback of being hidden behind a glass display and served upon request. The whole buffet was a wonderful experience, but it's not worth more than a one-time visit.

We visited Malabar Cafe for lunch buffet on Nov 30 at 12.30pm. We got one of the best premium dining experience in Kochi. They served a wide varieties of welcome drinks, starters, grills, main courses and deserts. Here are few of the reviews of the food that I tasted. 1. Welcome drinks - there were 4 types including passion fruit nannari, peach ice tea, pineapple juice and strawberry lassi..I tasted Passion fruit and was super refreshing. 2. Grilled foods - Tasted prawns and fish.Both are super fresh, nicely cooked and tasty. **Grilled items are served based on request. 3. Soups - one veg and one non-veg soup was served which is just average 4. Starters - they covered main items like chicken fry, mutton dry, paneer,chembu, chammanthy, some patties..which can satisfy majority of the Kerala taste buds. 5. Main course - Tried mutton biriyani which was outstanding and perfectly blended with masalas. Highly recommended. Rice with almost all vegetarian dishes, fried rice..were also served. 6. Deserts - If you are having a sweet tooth, then enjoy your heaven here with N number of desert items. The pista laddu has a unique taste and got my tick mark ;) All are freshly prepared/baked with an eye catching presentation. Hats off to the baking team. 7. Pickles(both veg and non veg) are of good quality and super tasty especially the prawns and fish pickle. Pappads, Kerala chammathies are also served. The restaurant is decorated with simple and elegant decors and have a great ambiance for dine-in. The staffs were very welcoming and always ready to help. Mentioning my sincere gratitude to Anand and Riyuni, who took care of our table. If you are looking for a premium level dining experience with a budget of 2000+ per head, then Malabar Cafe lunch buffet is highly recommended.
