" An enjoyable visit overall to The Grand Malabar! I went there with expectations for real Kerala cuisine, and it more than met them. I enjoyed the fish nirvana dish, which was done just right. The service was efficient, and the atmosphere was warm. I bought their special parotta to go along, which was fluffy and delicious. I'm eager to try more of their menu in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a fantastic meal at The Grand Malabar! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the service was exceptional. The chicken dum biriyani was bursting with flavors, and the seafood options were top-notch! I was particularly impressed with the attention to detail. I left completely satisfied and have already recommended this place to my friends. Can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to The Grand Malabar was delightful! The service staff truly know how to make guests feel welcome. I had the shrimp fry, which was seasoned perfectly and paired well with the ghee rice. The portions were generous, and everything was fresh. It was bustling with people, which I believe speaks volumes about the quality of the food. I loved the mixture of spices used in their dishes; it reminded me of my trips to Kerala. I can't wait to return with more friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Grand Malabar left a strong impression on me. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, and the aroma of spices fills the air. I especially enjoyed the mutton biriyani which was rich and laden with flavors. My friends had diverse dishes—fish curry and beef roast—and everyone was pleased. The service was good, and we left happy and satisfied. Would highly recommend this for anyone looking for authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for The Grand Malabar after hearing so much about their authentic cuisine. The ambiance was nice, but my meal fell a little flat. I found the beef curry to be overly salty and the chicken biryani was not as aromatic as I had expected. The service was decent, though quick. I might give it another shot, perhaps try a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an average experience at The Grand Malabar. The service staff was friendly, but I found some of the dishes to be underwhelming in flavor. The wait was a bit longer than expected. I did enjoy the Puthiyapila Choru, but some other dishes were lackluster, such as their dal fry. Overall, it was decent but doesn’t stand out from other Indian restaurants I've visited. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was eager to try The Grand Malabar after reading all the positive comments. To start, the restaurant's decor is quaint and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I ordered the chicken dum biryani and beef ularthiyathu. The biryani had great flavors and the beef dish was cooked to perfection. However, it felt like they could improve their dessert section; I tried the falooda but it was just average. Overall, a great experience and I'm definitely planning my next visit soon!
