Malabar Cafe - Thrikkakara

Authentic Malabar food. Food is extremely top class, proper packaging biryani was delicious. Waiting for Malabar Café opening to dine with family again. <br/ <br/ Anand.

The food specialized in Kerala cuisine but it is also suited to the palate of those not used to the general spiciness associated with this particular cuisine.<br/ We had the chicken curry, appams, mutton roast, chicken roast and thaali. We also sampled their live grill and the fish (deep fry), squid (masala) and prawn (roast) which was delicious.<br/ The staff was very helpful and supplied us with additional accompaniments like curd and pickles. We went with our whole family and everyone had a good time.<br/ The view from the balcony is beautiful.<br/ <br/ One point I would call out is that though we had booked and informed in advance that we would be celebrating a wedding anniversary that day, the management seem to have missed that detail and there was nothing special arranged for that. Our parents were expecting a mini cake which generally most other 5 star establishments provide.

Grand Hyatt in Kochi and Being a kochite How can I miss it. Waited for the right moment. Went there on Nov 23rd for lunch buffet with Parents n uncle as it was the Wedding anniversary of my parents. They were surprised bcoz I dint tel them it was Hyatt Lunch. So after initial surprises we went ahead for food. Spread is not really huge. But watever is there it was really good. Since parents r fans of kerala food watever on spread was too good for them especially mutton dishes. Biriyani was jus yumm. So starting wit chicken n spinach soup, it had a different taste. But really good one. Then went for appam n meen manga curry n kozhi n pidi. There was a delay in getting appam. I had orderred it first bt i cud see appams goin to other tables n my waiter asked to wait. Reduced 5 to 4 star due to delay. Then beef n kaya, mutton curry n biriyani everythg too good. Chicken pizza was normal. Dint shawarma bcoz i am nt a fan of it. Then dessert section. It had around 20types bt i dint find anythg that much interesting. Was looking for caramel pudding or sme thg simple. May be bcoz iam nt a dessert person. Then went for kerala rice curd sambhar n pickle bcoz i cudnt kerala rice behind being the biggest fan of it. It was good too. That was it. Had a lime tea n wrap it up. Everyone enjoyed it. Since it was too sunny dint go out for pics. Bt will definitely come for a dinner to enjoy the night view. Also planning for breakfast buffet. If anyone has gone pls help wit the rates. I wouldnt say this is the top notch buffet. I believe there is always space to push ur limits.

We 've visited Malabar Cafe twice over the past couple of months. On both occasions, we opted for the Dinner Buffet and were not disappointed. The spread is decadent, the food top notch and the service, extremely warm and attentive. Everything ranging from Starters to Desserts are delectable but it truly is the Dessert section that had us bowled over! The Live Seafood Grill serves some of the best seafood I 've ever had, ranging from King Fish and Jumbo Prawns to Anchovies.<br/ <br/ An incident I would like to fondly recollect is one during our first visit in July on the occasion of our Anniversary. It was a last minute plan and we had walked in without making reservations. It was almost towards the end of restaurant hours when I requested whether my dessert plate could be decorated with a simple 'Happy Anniversary ' lettering along with one of the cakes on display. I was told that they didn 't have the icing available on hand at the counter and I had accepted that when another member of staff, who overheard my request said it wouldn 't be a problem and would be done.<br/ <br/ A few minutes later, we were surprised with a beautiful cake which we cut while the staff kindly took videos and clicked pictures. Even though this isn 't something out of the ordinary, I feel the need to specially mention this cos we had not made any prior arrangements for the same and like I said, the restaurant was nearing closing time. So to go out of the way to do this for us really made our day memorable and for that I would truly like to thank the staff in charge!<br/ <br/ Our second visit was last month, with family visiting India on holiday and they too had a really good time. The food, ambience and hospitality here is truly impeccable and we cannot wait to visit again!

I waz in kochi, had a luxury stay with Grand Hyatt, while i was here i did tried malabar cafe for my evening snack, the ambience is juzt gorgeous n lovely, i had the most expensive shawarma here which was for Rs.900/ complimentary some crispy puffs were served with salad n dip. The taste waz worth spending this amount for just a chicken shawarma, the roll was crisp n soft plus the stuffing was well cooked with good amount of chicken in it. I also had a chocolate milk shake which was worth the buy forsure...yummmm.<br/ <br/ Will definitely give 5 star...highly recommended.
