Malabar Indian Restaurant

Established in 1992, Malabar Indian Restaurant in Crows Nest offers an authentic South Indian dining experience. The restaurant features floor-to-ceiling murals depicting India, solid timber chairs, and a menu filled with healthy, fresh traditional choices. The sharing-style menu includes a vast selection of South Indian specialties such as vadas and dosai. Spanning two levels, the 150-seater Malabar is one of the largest restaurants on the North Shore, offering private function rooms, large group tables, intimate tables for two, takeaway, and catering services. Conveniently located within walking distance of trains, buses, and parking stations, it's ideal for quick lunches, festive dinners, large celebratory events, and family gatherings. Malabar pays homage to its South Indian heritage, named after the coastal region of Kerala, known as the 'Pepper Coast' and the origin of the famous Spice Trail. The restaurant is fully licensed and offers BYO wine with a corkage fee of $5 per person. Operating hours are Monday to Sunday for lunch from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM, and dinner from Sunday to Thursday 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, and Friday to Saturday 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM.
