Over dit restaurant

  • Geweldig uitzicht
  • Goed voor speciale gelegenheden
  • Geschikt voor vegetariërs
Cafe Malabar brings the vibrant flavours of Kerala’s Malabar Coast to the heart of Victoria. Led by Chef Kiran Kolathodan and Chef Karma Tenpa, our award-winning restaurant was named #5 Best New Restaurant in Canada by Air Canada enRoute.

Signature dishes include our Kizhi Parotta, a layered Malabar flatbread wrapped in banana leaves and steamed with fragrant curry, as well as our rich, slow-cooked Chicken Malabar Dum Biriyani. The atmosphere blends modern elegance with warm hospitality, inspired by Kerala’s spice-laden traditions.

Guests can enjoy a full meal at the bar with a partial view into the kitchen, scenic high-top seating near the windows, and an elevated back corner with a booth and glass table overlooking the entire restaurant. Whether for a casual evening or a special celebration, Cafe Malabar offers an unforgettable taste of Kerala with a West Coast sensibility.

    Best indian food we have ever had. Wonderful new location on the waterfront. Great menu with many sharing options. The fry mushroom and the prawn appetizer was really good. Rockfish was fantastic. Would return again. Make sure to make a reservation as it is very busy.

    Our meals were excellent; our server was appropriayely attentive and helpful, explaining food and seasoning options to assist with our decision making; other staff members checked in to see if we were enjoying our meal; and we could actually have a conversation over dinner, which was truly a bonus. The only mild distraction was because of where we were seated at one of the high tables. People who were waiting to be seated leaned against the railing and hung over our table which intruded on our space and privacy. Regardless we will definitely be back and we will also recommend the Cafe Malabar to others! Thank you for a lovely evening!

    Cafe Malabar is amazing. Starting with their suliamani tea through starters, small plates, entrees and deserts. They bring unique flavors and spices from the Kerala region of India and the Malabar Coast. The area was part of the ancient Silk Road spice trading route. Service was also excellent. Make sure to make a reservation so you don't miss the opportunity to try this amazing place!

    Food was amazing!!! I was not as impressed with the rest of the experience though, service was slow, bathrooms were not clean. I think it was an exceptionally busy summer day but wasn’t a great first experience.

    This was an amazing experience. Every dish we tried was perfect. What we particularly appreciated was the manner in which air dishes were spiced. The spices crept up a you and then exploded in your mouth - they were incredible. The service was impeccable - and the explanation about the cooking before we ordered was really appreciated. We arrived with an unexpected guest and the restaurant was most accommodating and we had excellent seats. We can hardly wait to go back and continue working our way through the menu.

    Chefs Kiran and Karma continue to dazzle with each visit to Cafe Malabar. The prawn masala is a must, and the Kerala fried chicken is spectacular. We decided to try the special, a flavor-packed sole, and it was truly outstanding. Even though it's only been in operation for a few months, Cafe Malabar is already establishing itself as one of Victoria's most unique and delicious restaurants!
