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 ๐๐๐ป all in all a good experience and a suggestion to increase the quantity in the plates ๐๐ปโจ
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...

Hey there!
Strolling around fort's streets, we ended up at this restaurant.
They have a lovely ambience, we tried a couple of dishes. It was all good.
As you can see the in the bill picture the costing is awesome!
Satisfied customer!
I recommend this place for sure!
Please try it once if you are a non veg fan and of you would like to try new new dishes.
They also serve complimentary papads and and gravy for the rice.
This is a nice gesture from the hotel side.
The food taste is so good & delicious. I was very impressed with your performance. Delivery time is not late .such a good quality food .I was so thankful to zomato team.

Let me ask you a question first!
How much will you pay for an authentic South Indian breakfast buffet?
- 300 bucks, 400 bucks or maybe 500 bucks!
Am I right?
I know most of yours answers will be yes! Or may more than that!
But this place serves "The Authentic South Indian Buffet " at just 70 bucks!
Yes you have read correct! 70 bucks! And that too unlimited!
I was so amazed to see this place! Actually I was buying a paneer puff, from the bakery shop opposite to this place. When I turn around I suddenly notice the board โกbuffet @ Rs 70.
I was like..seriously? Is this place jocking with me?
Then I can't resist myself going to the place. The tables were all set for buffet! Items were all ready. (Idli, Mendu vada, Uttapum, Dosa, Upma, Rava Kesari, Sambhar & Chutney)
Although I was too late. Breakfast was almost over. I was about to take already cooked Uttupam & dosa from the Hotcase...but they the stopped me having that and insisted to have the freshly cooked hotter ones!
Hospitality was 6/5.
Now let's come to the taste! Everything was so good! Uttapum were too soft (they generally add less salt in the batter..if u want u can request them to add more).
Idli were perfectly steamed. Mendu Vada was even good and too crispy. Upma was so yum...I had it twice ;)
Over all I would rate 5/5 to the food!
Best part is this place opens at 7'am in the morning. And everyday there is something different in the breakfast menu!
So make your plans soon to explore this beautiful place!
There are many many Malabar restaurants spread around the Fort area and all of them have a long tradition and are very good. Where Taste of Malabar scores is in its size and decor. The other restaurants are small and basic, whereas this place has taken some trouble to look good. The ambience is really nice and adds to the experience. But the prices are as affordable as the others. I ordered Chicken Nadan, a coconut based gravy, which was okay (in hindsight, maybe I should have stuck to ordering Pepper Chicken). To go with that I ordered my favorite Kerala Parotha. And there was the excellent raita the Malabar restaurants always serve. If you like the food of Kerala's Malabar cost, you should definitely give this place a try.
Budget family restaurant to enjoy keralite cuisine. But waiting time is bit long. Ensure to give a quick orders. Worth waiting!
Give a try...
So this is an amazing place located in the bylanes of Churchgate. A super cozy and comfortable dining place offers the best Kerala cuisine. We ordered - Butter Garlic Prawns for starters,Parotta,Appam,Nadan Chicken Curry,Pepper Chicken and ended our meal with Sweet Lime Soda.
The most satisfying and filling meal,that tastes so much like home cooked food. Everything was freshly prepared and I have visited this place 4 times already .Need I say anything more??
One of the legendary food joints in mumbai....... authentic south Indian food ........ pocket friendly.......superb taste ...... good quality food ..... decent ambience.......nice staff.......must visit place in town

When you walk through the bylanes of Fountain area of Mumbai, it's not only nostalgic but you also find some long forgotten, hidden gems. One such place is Cafe Bahar's Taste of Malabar.
Walked into a fairly decent place, with the air conditioning groaning to keep the place cool.
The menu is very elaborate and surely deserves many more visits... There I gave you my verdict upfront!!! Yesss it's an amazing place, serving yummmiest of dishes from the Malabar coast.
After much deliberation we ordered :
Crab Chilly (we asked how much and answer was Rs 400... I did not expect it to be very big).
Mutton Pepper Masala Rs 180
Chicken Malabar Roast Rs 180
Malabar Parotta Rs 14 each can it get any better๐๐๐
All the dishes were freshly prepared and came together on the table.. While we waited, they served Kerala Pappadums and Banana wafers๐๐.
The crab or should I say crabs, were served in an oval dish laden with about 5 crabs and 2 claws. They were small soft shell baby crabs and the flesh within the carapace was sweet and divinely yummmmy. I am not much of a crab eater... Wifey loves them. True to the name the crabs were tossed around in a bed of Capsicum, onions and chillies and loads of curry leaves. Not overly spicy but just the right flavours with a strong hint of pepper.
While she was attacking the crabs, I went for the chicken roast.... In one word... WOWWW!!! this was easily the best malabari Chicken Roast that I have ever had. Not at all spicy but has that underlying hint of spices that leaves you craving for the next mouthful of tender juicy, boneless pieces of chicken, cooked in its own juices with coconut milk added to get that smooth creamy texture.
Mutton Pepper Masala was the fiery pick of the day and the strong taste of pepper came out full blast, without disrupting the taste buds completely.
The hot flaky parotas went well with all the above and was an absolute steal at Rs 14 each.
An absolute gastronomic journey of flavors of God's own Country... Sooooo much to experience and only one small tummy ๐๐ค๐๐๐... Drooooool on ๐๐๐๐๐
The food is extraordinary. Each dish has a unique flavour making this place one of my top favourites for Kerala cuisine. The ambience of this restaurant is great compared to other restaurants in the vicinity. Must try the tandoori chicken with Malabar parota. Amazing combo.

I ordered food from this place for lunch...
Trust me a good place to order from if you want to eat typical kerala food .
They have some good varieties of kerala food and worth trying .
I have ordered the aithentic kerala dish aviyal and tomato rice from here . Very nice and tasty and worth the money
Good Kerala restaurant with nice ambience and reasonable pricing. Good for non-veg foods. Sea food is quite good in taste and maybe one-third price of big restaurants.
Please donโt try Tappiocca Biriyani.....
Large seating capacity.
Got to the restaurant for some yummy Malabar parotta and chicken curry. Much satisfied as well. Tasted good and didn't cost a lot. The interiors are done nicely. We even have banana fry aka pazhampori and onion pakodas which were tasty as well.
Way to go !!
Great taste in each food you order. Try on a bananaย leaf with Duck Roast and Appam or a full lunch nonveg. Meanwhile, have some rasam its good for digestion and you don't feel too heavy. Thaleseri Masala is a super medium spicy just ask the waiter's to specially add this masala and cook the nonveg items and I am sure that you will definitely order extra and take up a parcel while leaving the restaurant. Last but not least try Adapradaman Yuuuummmyy mind-blowing.
The food is original taste of malabar
The food is typical taste life south Indian
I have order the chicken taste of malabar and mutton malabar masala with butter parotha.
It was amazing the parotha was very good and has the track of coconut oil.
The place was also very calm and beautiful.
It has seperate room like thing which is very good.

Went this afternoon for lunch because I was tired of the vegetarian fare in my office on Thursdays.
Didn't expect much but boy was I surprised. I had Kerala beep fry. And I completely loved it. More for that fact that it was there than the actual flavour!
The place is alright, don't come with high expectations, the food is economical and the staff is super polite. Such a hidden gem, I'm coming back often and bringing more people.
Good place order from this outlet some days before.I ordered chicken masala, chicken fried rice and tandoori roti.
The food was chicken masala was nice and fried rice was also good

Today, being a Republic Day, one of my family suggested this restaurant where she use to go. A humble place with mind-boggling taste. I couldn't imagine the ecstasy of having a meal here.
We ordered for a fish curry with Kerala rice, a chicken biryani for my daughter, a mutton stew with appams, idiyappam with the traditional Red chutney along with avial. This was accompanied by papaddum, curd salad & vinigared amla. Everything tasted heavenly and made with love & perfection. It never stopped there. The friendly staff got us a payasam dessert to top it up. Finger- Licking Good. Amazing service. Easy on the pocket, too.
I discovered this place while looking for Pratap Lunch Home. It truly exemplified a place and a cuisine that I wanted to sample for a really long time. So bunking my plans to meal at Pratap, I went it in here and had a hearty meal... Since I went in at 4, the restaurant was relatively empty.. Having wooden beam booth like seating, it offers a cosy environ for large groups of people to have a sumptuous meal. The waiter Veda, was my knight in shining armour, his suggestions for all the dishes were bang on target... For a sole ranger; I had the prawns pulichatu, Appams and Kerala Parotta, the Fresh Lime Soda Sweet was a welcome concoction to wash this hearty meal... Hope they had a version in the suburbs too, so we wouldn't need to travel that long...
Excellent food. Exortic taste of south indian ( malabar). The interior is fabulous . The hygiene is upto date. Only problem is there is no place for parking . For both two wheeler aur four wheeler. But the taste is really a blessing for mouth
Great attraction for south indian in mumbai...a feeling of homely food is best here...North indians can try dishes they haven't tasted yet prior to visiting kerela..
Good place for kerala food. Walkable distance from churchgate station. Beef n puttu are spl, Don't go with kerala veg dishes except meals. Pocket friendly restaurant. Nice ambeience with AC. Serving is too slow. Unlimited buffet breakfast for sixty rupees
Had visited this place in afternoon for lunch itz one of the best place i hve tried till now they serve lunch on banana leaf kerla style the food is awsome and delicious good in taste and good service provided by them and its very pocket friendly and prices are too less but good place for lunch must try out everyone good and excellent service by staff too keep it up good job see ul soon again..........
I ordered dal tarka, thoran veggy and Gobi paratha, paratha was excellent and other 2 veggies too delicious, also reasonable price and quick delivery from zomato
This is one of the best cafe's of south bombay.. the food is awesome and value for money.. My fav dish is mutton handi. Nice cafe to dine out. Must visit
Ordered Sambar Rice and it made my day!!! Thank you so much for this amazing food๐ค
Visited the restaurant to celebrate Onam. Perfect! We went early to ensure you get place. As it gets pretty crowded by 1 pm. The experience of eating on a banana leaf is awesome. The taste of the every dish was pure south! An amazing spread of 15 + dishes.
I have been ordering my lunch from this place for quite a long time now. I have tried all their paranthas and trust me being a Punjabi, I can tell you that they serve by far most delicious paranthas in Mumbai that too at a very reasonable price. You must try their Paneer parantha. It's delicious
Went to this place this morning and ordered for Parotas,Appam (both highly recommended)with Chicken Thalesssary,Mutton Malabar Masala Fry,Prawn Sukka.Both the meats were wonderfully cooked to perfection -soft and juicy, while the jumbo prawns with coconut was out of this world.Waiters are polite and service good.Shall be making one more visit soon.
We went to Kala Ghoda Festival and post that we went for a lunch here. We were in a group of 4-5 people. We chose this place only because of two reasons.
1. It was a Zomato Gold member.
2. I wanted to taste Malabari Cuisine.
I ordered all the dishes that the manager suggested us. And yes, to be honest all the dishes were worth the price. The restaurant is cost effective. They have a Thali system also available.
The best part is they serve food in a banana leaf. The ambience is homely and they have cabins to sit in. These cabins give a private space to your group. It's a good place to lunch with your family as well as friends.
Sometimes, you may also get complimentary kheer as a desert.
The restaurant has lovely Ambience with fences all around nad the best restaurant for seafood lovers.... The fried fish and gravy taste awesome.... Worth to visit for seafood
I'm a regular visitor here and let me tell you it's an ideal option if you're craving for some Kerala style food in SoBo. The Kerala Porotta, varieties of chicken curries, Suruma fish fry (Neymeen) etc will not make you feel like you're in Mumbai, but in Kerala.
This place has always been good .Their portions are generous and pricing down to earth unlike Udipi restaurants.If yu are unsatisfied here..then no Kerala Hotel can make yu happy any where in India
I wish they knockout the Chinese craze .It is sure to interfere with the Malabari essence
Excellent n exclusive taste
Food was definitely tasty.. You should go for this if you are looking for a pocket friendly sea food option.
Quantity is quite less. But taste is superb
I ordered a Malabar biriyani and surmai fish fry... Surmai fish fry was fantastic and Malabar biriyani was so authenticate the way it should be... Loved both...
Good value for money. Average food
Best kerala restaurant in South Mumbai.
๐Delicious food
๐Good service
๐Free wifi available
Good place to dine in with family and friends.
Worth of money and time.
I had tried their special sadhya and it was fantastic.
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.
Strongly Recommend.

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
"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.
This place is so close to my office but I had never visited this restaurant earlier. I have been missing out on a great dining place.
I have Thali on banana leaf, chicken chettinad and Surmai fry. Food was awesome. Recommend this place to everyone who wants to have Kerala food.
Good food, reasonably priced.
Service was excellent.
Special mention about Fish Nandan and Papadam. Must try.
Delicious fish dishes served here. Waiting time is bit more but once you start eating will realize the taste. Rates are reasonable. Good place for fish lovers.
No more duck, neither mutton, but what was served was very good and service was kind and helpful. We could choose our table in a separate cosy corner.
Very delicious food and super friendly service! Loved the egg biryani and Paneer fry. The banana chips reminded me of my time back in Kerala.
One of the renowned places to have a great thali. Staff is helpful. Food had to be reheated as it was served cool. Chicken Roast was below par. Fish option was delicious.
