" I finally made it to The Grand Malabar and it was a delicious experience! The aromas wafting from the kitchen were tantalizing. I particularly enjoyed the Kerala fish curry - it was an exquisite blend of spices that reminded me of home. The ambiance was friendly, and the service was attentive. I do wish they had more vegetarian options, but what I tried was quite satisfying. I left feeling happy and fulfilled, with plans to come back sooner than later! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at The Grand Malabar was truly something special! The ambiance is vibrant and reflects the culture beautifully, setting the stage for an authentic dining experience. I savored the Chemmeen Fry, which was fresh and well-spiced. The chicken biryani was a standout - so flavorful! The service staff were friendly and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. I will be back to try more dishes as I hear they have great desserts too! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing amazing reviews about The Grand Malabar, I finally decided to visit. The atmosphere was lively but not overly noisy, which made for a pleasant dining experience. I tried their mutton biryani, and while the flavor was good, I found the meat a bit tough. Service was prompt but not intrusive. I also sampled the fish nirvana, which was outstanding! It was light, fresh, and had a beautiful flavor profile. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would come back to explore their menu further. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today we ate at The Grand Malabar, and it was a delightful experience! We ordered a variety of dishes to share. The flavors were authentic and well-prepared but the timing for our order was a bit slow as the restaurant was packed. Nevertheless, the mutton biriyani and chicken dum biriyani left a lasting impression on us. I will definitely consider coming back to explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited The Grand Malabar on a couple of occasions, and both times I was pleased with my meal. The ghee rice was cooked beautifully, and I absolutely loved the fish nirvana. The waitstaff were friendly and provided great service. It can get busy during peak hours, but it's worth it for the food! Overall, it's a great experience, and I would keep coming back.

" 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!
