I did a take away and the food was good...as a old customer I found the quantity of chicken 65 less.
Taste wise it's good so as quality
Visited for the second time. Awesome food. We ordered fish fry bangda, surmai and promfret.Dint click pic of pompfret though,since we were engrossed in eating the other fishes.We also ordered chicken mulakittathu which was yum spicy,I usually dont like coconut gravy in chicken but this has the right amount of coconut.Then the parottas were super soft and were the actual south indian parottas and not laccha parathas as we get in the name of south Indian parattos.Must visit if are in this area.
spice malabar is one of the finest place when it comes to kerala meals they serve authentic kerala food and there taste is finger licking good everything is made in coconut oil....which gives you the exact pinch of kerala....
so they start it with a glass of rassam 🥳🥳
and again a glass of butter milk 🥛all the food is serve on a banana leaf 🌴 which gives you the feeling of country food
so the whole leaf plate is consist of
1 lime pickle
2 imli chutney
3 papad
4 toran
5 rice
6 sambhar
7 avial
8 pachdi
9 payasam
Note : papad is serve only one time if you ask it for the second time charges are included 😆
apart from it everything is unlimited only in 250/-
My heart goes with it💕❤️.The place has a unique kerala flavour to the dishes with an ambience which resembles kerala’s hotels with basic seatings.

Some tastes better however this time my experience was Chicken Nadan Curry did not do justice to the Kerela Cuisine. Chicken Pepper Fry was not upto the mark. Paneer Chilly was good and the Vegetable Kerela Meal was authentic.
A very good place Kerala food with authentic taste from Gods own country.. Love the kerala thali’s in banana leaf...
Good place for authentic Kerala food. I have been to this place many times and tried different items every time. The traditional veg thali on banana leaf, chicken Chettinad with Kerala Paratha, Appam Kadala Curry; all are punched with the spices of Kerala bringing the authentic taste. Quality is good but ambiance is a bit ok sort of, hence a 4star from me.
What a awesome place to have food with Kerala... Spices
Want to try south indian food then must visit to chopstick malbar in viman nagar. Tried appam, chicken tikka masala , kerala chicken . Food taste is awesome but Kerala chicken fry is average.
Today I ordered chicken 65 which was not good at all. It was very dark red in color and very spicey because of lots of red or green chillies. My question is why you need to add soo much color. I know for good presentation it is required but not this much. Add a little amount. I can see color in all my fingers. Health wise also it's not good. My my special request to you, please try to add very little colore or dont add any color. Still I want to give you rating 4 as I liked your other food specially appam.
Best Appam you can get in Pune. Thanks enjoyed the meal. Will be re ordering soon. Delivery was on time. The veg handi was on the spicy side but okay.
This restaurant caters to some healthy home type food especially the South Indian food. We often go for the home delivery option. They have variety of options to choose from. I decided to go for their soft fluffy melt in the mouth Appams, and Veg stew. I also thoroughly enjoy and relish their Sambhar and Kadla Curry. ( black Chana curry). Their Avial is also nice just that coconut added is little on the higher side. I opted for the home delivery service. Delivery was prompt and in time. Food was delicious and was made using less oil. It was packed well. They make their own spices using fresh ingredients. I liked the food and the home delivery service. Their food is healthy especially Sambhar made with very less oil. I look forward to try out their other dishes. But South Indian food is their specialty especially Appam, Sambhar, Avial, and Kadla curry.
After a long time, we loved our dining experience. Be it food quality and quantity , along with service and ambience- everything was perfect. We had their special thali and trust me - it was a beautiful experience. Each and every items in the thali were of a different taste and all of them were super delicious. The image will show you the quantity- its perfect if you are really hungry and is a fan of Kerala menu. The service is quick and very well. Must recommend their prawns Special thali. Loved every bit of it. Thank you
A great place to try the Malabar Cuisine.
I've been to this place a lot of times and tried their different curries, each one is just fabulous.
The veg stew and chettinad veg curry are my personal favorites. Try these with steamy hot appams or crunchy kerala parottas and you're good to go! 😋😊
Another plus point? It is pocket friendly.
Good Kerala partitas. Also recommend the prawns and fried sear. Fresh and well made. Reasonable prices.
Simply great south indian food. Malabar biryani rice, appam with chicken chettinad is my favourite. Also saddya thali is their speciality. Lunch hours are little crowdy..so have patience for getting table.
One of the oldest places in Viman nagar, serving delicious South Indian food.
The veg stew, appam, chettinad paneer are perfect!
But the best time to come here is for the Onam Sadhya. The huge typical South Indian thali is a paradise for South Indian food lovers. A pocket friendly and lip smacking treat to relish
Ordered today surmai fry ... Quality & quantity of seafood was enough for one person as it was a keralaite restaurant so these people are good at cooking seafood ... Taste was also good..!! Delivery was fast.. Overall good experience !!!
Ordered Chicken meal !!! To be honest it was the best south indian meals I've had so far in Pune !!!
The food was tasty and the quantity was more than sufficient for two people !!!!
It was tasty and worth the price !!!
Not a single dish has ever disappointed me here.
The Chicken Chettinad:5/5
Mutton Varutharachru:5/5
Appam:5/5
Kerala Paratha:5/5
The curries are so flavourful and just love the aroma.
The paratha and appam so soft.
Great going guys.
This hotel would be suitable for south Indian who are missing dine with banana leaves. Best hotel for me . We our roommates would order at least twice in a week and orders are always up to the mark.
There are lot of varieties in mallu food but not authentic taste. I visit once in a while and never disappointed. Veg and non veg thalis are a hit on weekends. Of course due to the range of items served on the plate :)
Food is reasonably tasty and worth your money. Located at the heart of Viman Nagar, chopsticks Malabar is definitely student friendly and pocket friendly. With the variety of seafood and South Indian (kerelian) food , you would be a fool to miss out on this place. I am amongst those customers who live just 100 mts away from this place and therefore have seen it grow. Believe me guys you will definitely enjoy your food if you are a fan of South Indian cuisine or a seafood lover. And everything is so reasonable. Go nuts.
Lovely, cozy and authentic kerala food joint. Went with office colleagues on a Friday afternoon for lunch and had an amazing kerala thali. Place was good, service fast and food awesome. If you are looking for a authentic kerala food then this is ur place.
Small pretty place. The food quality and quantity both were impressive. I took my aunt, who came to give me a visit in pune to have Surmai fish. We ordered Surmai fry, mixed prawn noodles and fish oyster sauce curry. All over a pleasant experience in good budget. :) Staff was friendly.
Authentic taste of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Of course the spice level is slightly lower while comparing that we get down south but the taste is still great. While there are multiple dishes that are great, one should definitely not miss having their Kerala Malabar Parotta, Idiyappam and Egg Curry. The price is nominal and taste is awesome.
Very nice ambience.. not too big.. but good.. taste of every dish were good.. I can happily recommend this place to my friends n family..Keep up the good work..👍
A south indian restaurant serving some delicious food from a very long time. If you are a south indian you must this place, i ll be pleased. Their kali mirch tandoori is very special. Love it. Service is fast. They have 3 floors. Perfect place to go with family or friends. Good tasty food in cheap rates

The restaurant is a very cosy one with a homely feeling that it gives you as soon as you enter. We were there for lunch but I could guess that the restaurant would look awesome during evenings with outside seating as an option. The food was awesome as we had boiled rice, goan curry, fish fry and chicken curry. Nothing to complain about. It is certainly a no nonsense joint, a must visit for people who live to relish Kerala cuisine. Will definitely go again.

I was searching for something pocket friendly and came across this place.
The place is difficult to spot but using GPS, one can easily find this place.
Ambience: The place has 4 different dine in areas - Outdoor( basically for friends and large groups), ground and 1st floor (Air conditioned) & Terrace which is comparatively humid but good for couples.
Overall the arrangement of furniture is bit congested and lacks ventilation.
Food: Keralite food here is among the best in town. We ordered Kerala Fried chicken in starters that was generous in portion and properly cooked. It was served in their traditional way on banana leaf and the flavours were on point.
In mains, one should try their Chicken Chettinad with Kerala Parotha. Curry was made in coconut base that was full of flavours and spices. Kerala Parotha was served hot and was crunchy enough to enjoy the flavourful Kerala curry.
The place is good if you are low on budget and wanna try some South Indian cuisine. The place is highly recommended as it's value for money.
Its a great place to have authentic south indian food.
We tried the veg and chicken meal.The meal was served on a banana leaf which looked great and also it was my 1st time eating on a leaf.😇
Every item in the meal was tasty especially the sambhar and kadhi.
The chicken meal was exactly same as veg meal only they chicken curry with two pieces of chicken.The curry was tasty and the chicken pieces were well cooked and tender.
The service was quick and responsive.
The ambience was also good.
Overall a good and pocket friendly place to have authentic south indian (malabar)food.😇
Topmost priority for outside food.. I guess this says it all..total value for money.. Amazing food and service.. top on my list.. just love the place..
Absolutely must visit for all non veg lovers. Loved the spicy south Indian food there. Must try is the kerala chicken dry. And the best part is the quick service.
I recommend this restaurant everytime when I'm homesick. Amazing food and friendly staff and the owner always having a big smile and happy to serve. Butter chicken and chicken mumtaz is the only thing I go for. Also it's fulfilling and worthy as max rs400 to rs500 you are able to eat with 2-3 people. It's a must place in a viman nagar.
Good restaurant to have some Kerala food. Restaurant is clean and servers are good. Food quality is good as well and rates are very reasonable.
Had Al Faham, Shawarma, Chettinad Paneer gravy with malabar paratha. It was nicely cooked and tasted well.
Ambience is decent too.
- With Rachit Gupta and Akshay Kumar Srivastava
actually my delivery man came all way down in rain...
Great service and good taste👌👌👌.... yum yum yum 😘 😘 😘 with reasonable price ... on time delivery... friendly service...
If you want have best fish in Pune, than this is the best restaurant for you.
You can also have the good kerlian food which cooked in coconut oil.
It’s heaven
It’s like spices from God’s own country #KERALA
Suggestions
Have the veg meal(Sadya) it’s amazing 😋
Tandoori pomfret
Beef chilli dry
One among the best restaurants in Pune,Food tasted really good here, especially the chicken friedrice, Kerala fish meals,prawn pan fry all tasted really good, quantity was also pretty decent worth the money✌🏻
This is the best food outlet I had been in Pune..
Disclaimer: You should have some interest for south India before going there.. (Kerala, to be specific)
This outlet in Viman Nagar is one of my most visited ones.. In fact my love for fish has always been taken care by this very place :p
Amazing food, and I bet you will fall in love with the briyanis..
Staffs are really humble, you will feel like home and you will relish the food I am sure..
Food is very cheap and definitely worth the money. The service is really quick and you can get a lot of food for very little money. The ambience is quite noise as it is a family restaurant which is acceptable for the price range. All in all it’s definitely worth the money.
...as they say they are known for authentic kerala food, they meant that.
I have been here before, years back and that time i tried something that is these days no more authentic (as in common everywhere), however i visted them again a week back...and tried the “Sadhya” and man! Believe me you, that was an experience...
One suggestion though, they could invrease the portion of fish btw...
I loved the food at this place and the service too. Place is bit cozy but it's worth. Waiters was very courteous and quick in service. Ambience is OK but it's the food that would lift your mood if u r looking for having something different from the usual dining experience. My reviews
Food 4/5
Ambience 3/5
Service 5/5
Value for money 5/5

Since we are new in Bangalore so exploring 🆕 places to eat is fun 😊 and a full time job in itself. So here is my review about this place where me, my wife and my brother in law went. He actually introduced me to this restraunt. (sharing pics attached with this review)
1. Ambiance 1/5: It's a small place in Viman Nagar and if you are not familiar with this place 90% chances are you will miss out on this. Plus the entry and hygeine is what this place lacks big time. We were initially given plates 🍽 one of which was broken and the other one had rice which may be was the left over of the last who ate on the same plate.
2. Food 4/5: Well we ordered kerala fry chicken 🐔 (boneless), coconut stew (non veg), veg hakka soup, appam and kerala paratha. Everything was super tasty and soft, except coconut 🥥 stew (non veg) chicken pieces were very hard and it dint seem fresh. Don't forget to try their kerala fry chicken, kerala paratha and a drink I don't remember the name it's made of coconut milk and is offered cold. It is yummy.
3. Service 5/5: The staff is very courteous and prompt.
Great place to try kerala food.
Have visited this place many times. It serves one of the best chicken curries and many more with some different South Indian touch. I have tried chicken peshawari, chicken banjara, veg bhuna, tandoori chicken, chicken lollypop and many other dishes. The best thing is their appam and their keral parotha 👌 it just tastes awesome with their yumm curies. Must visist for a different pinch of taste in chicken curries. Loved their Chinese dishes as well.
Best delivery ever ......polite person prakash sir thankuuu soooo much sir great job in my sooo many delivery did was the best person who spoke soo nycly wid customer
A lunch is suppose to be done like a King...yes tasty and full...with the unlimited thali keralite taste with blends of coconut to keep your stomach ready for digestion it's a awesome food to have at chopsticks....no acidity as no oily and spicy ...be it to check yourself...won't regret!!!
This place comes first in my list when I crave for tasty food. Awesome food, great service and friendly staffs.
Love the mutton preparation here and they won't disappoint you in Veg as well.
Great food decent place . Good experience
I stayed in viman nagar, Pune for 2 years and Spice Malabar was my go to destination specially for homely, everyday and affordable meals. Staff that is courteous and helpful also makes this place a good option to dine in If you are in the area also there deliveries are always on time.
Carving for some south Indian delicious food?? This is the perfect place that will meet your cravings.. Authentic south Indian taste that will leave you amazed
I have visited this place many times. the food is really nice. mostly things tried were non veg. Have been here even when the budget is low and things get well managed with in the same budget. love this place.
Love this place but whats with the sudden hike in Prices ? As a student might have to reconsider eating here . Such a shame . Please try to take the prices to their original denominations . Or maybe a student discount ;)
The food portion and quality are great. This place gives you great value for your money. An absolute recommendation for anyone interested in eating genuine South Indian cuisine.
Good soft Appams and tasty chicken curry. Fast service. Ambience is decent. Would like to try more of their dishes. A welcome break from normal routine food.
Giving it 4 out of 5 for the food. The food is really good. the South Indian dishes are too good to resist. The restaurant can be cleaner and more organized. Have been to this place multiple times and love the Kerala paratha and the veg Manchurian
One of our go to hotels for muching some good keralite food. Their Chinese and other dishes are also nice. I love their chicken manchow soup & Puttu with Chana or green peas curry and Appam or Neer Dosa with Kerala style prawns curry. Must visit hotel in Viman nagar.
We frequently choose this restaurant for our office lunches because it offers a diverse range of high-quality non-vegetarian dishes. Our favorite items are the spring chicken and chicken masala served with lachha parota. If you're looking for an excellent meal that's both delicious and budget-friendly, we highly recommend paying them a visit.
Good food. I have tried appam and Goan fish curry and Bhangra fry. Food is delicious. There is a terrace where you can enjoy your food stair case ie little small and not easy to climb. Only area they should look into is hygiene. Food is really tasty.
First of all I am a big fan of kerla culture and food . We often come here for sadhya Thali and every time it impresses me with taste and satisfaction.
The ambience is also good and the service is excellent.

My recent dining experience at Chopsticks Malabar in Viman Nagar was nothing short of exceptional. This cozy restaurant offers a delightful fusion of South Indian, North Indian and Chinese cuisines. Here are the highlights of my meal:
1. Vegetarian Kerala Thali (5/5):
The Vegetarian Kerala Thali at Chopsticks Malabar is pretty good. It's a burst of flavors and a perfect representation of Kerala's culinary diversity. The thali included a variety of sabzis, and each one was a delightful surprise. The Pineapple Stew was a unique and sweet-savory treat, the Avial was nice, and the Sambar was the epitome of South Indian comfort food. The assortment of sabzis in the thali was extensive and all of them were delicious, making it a memorable and satisfying meal.
2. Vegetable Stew in Coconut Milk with Appam: (5/5)
The Vegetable Stew served with Appam was a culinary masterpiece. The appams were nicely fermented, achieving that perfect balance of softness and slight crispness on the edges. The stew was a harmonious blend of fresh vegetables simmered in creamy coconut milk, creating a savory delight. The combination showcased the restaurant's commitment to authentic flavors.
3. Biryani (4/5):
The Biryani at Chopsticks Malabar was indeed delightful. It had a rich aroma and a balanced blend of spices. The rice was cooked to perfection, and the biryani had a satisfying flavor. While it was not the absolute best biryani I've ever had, it certainly met expectations and was a flavorful dish.
4. Butter Paneer: (3/5)
I did try this paneer dish during my visit, and I must admit that the quality of paneer was somewhat disappointing. It didn't have the freshness and softness I usually look for in paneer dishes. It was merely okay, and this aspect of the meal could certainly use some improvement.
The ambiance at Chopsticks Malabar is cozy especially at night (except that the staircase looks pretty old and needs renovation), and the service was attentive, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience.
I would highly recommend visiting Chopsticks Malabar in Viman Nagar for a great meal.
I went out for dinner with a close friend of mine who hails from Kerala. He recommended that we dine at this restaurant, given his familiarity with the cuisine. We decided to order the Bangda fry, Fish curry, and Appam. Although it was my first time trying Appam, I must say that I was thoroughly impressed by its soft texture and flavor. When paired with the Fish curry, it made for a delectable combination that tantalized my taste buds. While the Fish curry was a tad too sour for my liking, everything else was simply perfect. All in all, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to indulge in South Indian delicacies. It truly is one of the best eateries in Pune!
We went on onam night to try authentic Kerala food. Great place nice environment and service is also good. Dilicious.....
Very crowded. You need to wait to get a table. The food was good. Due to the crowd you have to wait for the food to be served.. it was a little hot as AC on the first floor was not sufficient to cool the room.
Such a Wonderful place to have the best authentic Kerala food, Specially being Onam and if you stay alone you would feel homely having the Best Sadhya. And purely happy to meet a wonderful Person at Chopsticks Praveen Ettan 😊. You guys nailed it yesterday ✨
Went for lunch here, it has a nice ambience for a Kerala restaurant, They had both indoor and outdoor seating, we were inside, sufficient seating inside. Ordered veg meal and fish meal. The sides that came with meals were good, around 3-4 sides along with sambar n dal, and they give small paper cup of payasam, rasam and butter milk. Meals entirely were good and fulfilling and it's more than one serving as well. For fish meals, we get a fish curry along with it not fish fry ( maybe they might swap it for fish fry if we ask them). Also ordered chicken 65 boneless and chicken ghee roast they were okay, i wouldn't say a must try. They have a good number of dishes on the menu and all styles not just Kerala. So a good place for non malayalis as well.
For authentic, mouth watering, healthy and nostalgic Kerela food, this is the place to be. Heart warming fare
Authentic Kerala Dish is available in this restaurant! Veg thali highly recommended

A Flavorful Culinary Journey to Kerala's Heart
My visit to Chopsticks Spice Malabar was nothing short of a delightful experience. As a vegetarian, I opted for their Veg Kerala thali, and it was an absolute treat for my taste buds.
The restaurant's ambiance was warm and inviting, with subtle touches of Kerala's culture adding to the overall dining experience. From the moment I stepped in, the friendly staff made me feel welcome, ensuring excellent service throughout.
Now, let's talk about the food—the star of the show! The Veg Kerala thali was a gastronomic journey that introduced me to the authentic flavors of Kerala. The array of dishes served on a banana leaf was not only visually appealing but also an incredible fusion of spices and traditional Malabar cuisine.
Each item in the thali had its unique taste, perfectly balanced to complement the others. From the creamy Avial and spicy Sambar to the delectable Rasam and crispy Pappadam, every bite was a burst of flavors. The variety of chutneys and pickles added an extra zing, elevating the entire experience.
The standout dish for me was the Kerala Parotta, which was soft, flaky, and served piping hot. I couldn't resist savoring every morsel, pairing it with the aromatic Vegetable Stew—a match made in culinary heaven.
To end the meal on a sweet note, I indulged in the heavenly Palada Payasam, a rich and creamy rice pudding with a hint of cardamom, truly a divine delight.
In summary, Chopsticks Spice Malabar provided an exquisite blend of Kerala's culinary heritage and unique spice infusion. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or someone looking to explore new flavors, this restaurant is a must-visit. I left with a satisfied palate and a desire to return soon to relish this delightful experience once again.
Note: This review is based on my personal visit in July 2023. The menu and experience may vary over time.
Visited this place for lunch. You can get Authentic Kerala menus here.
Their fish & chicken dishes are must try.
Tthey also have festive special thalis.
Both outdoor & indoor seating is available.
Service could be improved.
Must try their meals and south indian dishes. Very good food accompanied with decent service. One should definitely visit this place who desires to have South Indian or specifically Kerala food.
