Talking about the food amazing Malabar Biryani 4 out 5 for service 5 out of 5
Neat and well maintained spacious place. The food was very tasty and the quantity was good.
The service is very good.
This cozy restaurant serves authentic malabar dishes and has a wide variety of choices when it comes to seafood.
We had the chicken ghee roast, mutton gravy, steamed fish, mussel roast and crab fry all with kerala porotta. Each dish was lip-smacking delicious and cooked to perfection. The mussels were cleaned carefully just like you would do at home and the portions served were generous. Totally worth our 25 min drive to get there!
Visited here for lunch today. The staff we were very welcoming and made us comfortable, though the AC was not working on the ground floor. Was a bit uncomfortable in the July heat. We ordered the vegetarian meals , the tiger prawns and fried full hommur fish. Everything was perfect. The curries accompanying the veg meals were very tasty and substantial , the boiled rice was cooked to perfection. The blend of spices used for the prawns and the marinade for the hommur fish was very tasty. Would rate this among the best Kerala food I have had in Dubai. The service was great . Thank you team Malabar Express .
Heard alots about the South Indian food served here, so ordered for kadai mutton, prawn masala and kasoori chicken. Had all with wheat parottas. All the dishes were abit spicy but tasted good. Delivery was ontime & the rates are pocket friendly too.
Very good service and hygienic, food is awesome...especially porotta.....gud place for kerala food lovers.....food is delivered hot hot!!!
Generally we visit once a month and take visitors fm Sri Lanka as it is similar to SL taste and spicy..! 😋🌶👌 Like all their food in the menu specially fried fish Tawas..! Juby is remarkably customer oriented he takes care of each and every table with his genuine smile 😄 and welcome attitude..! Excellent service and no delays in serving..! Bravo and keep it up 👍
Excellent food. Authentic kerala taste My recommendations :Grilled tiger prawns, kunji kozhi chilli fry and shappu fish curry.
Delicious food, attentive and courteous staff.
Welcoming atmosphere.
Must visit.
Amazing experience at Malabar Express. Very friendly staff, tasty thali and value for money. Highly recommended.
One of the best Kerala restaurants in Dubai.. we tried the mulakidicha fish tawa and winter chicken tawa.. amazingly delicious. Their service is also very good.. especially Tony who is very jovial and helpful. We have been frequenting this place so often yet this is the first time we thought of reviewing.
We really enjoyed malabar express!
SERVICE: EXCELLENT!
COOKING: EXCELLENT
SERVICE: EXCELLENT
SUPERVISOR: EXCELLENT
ENVIRONMENT: Good!
BUDGET: superb!
Apart from this, the ac wasn’t workin so they had ac vent boxes (if that’s what you call it), the tables were too low, and the washroom needs pest control. Apart from that we’ve had a phenomenal experience!
The food is tasty, truly the taste of kerala. Staff is very cordial and the ambience is welcoming too.
Over all great food and family time
Yummmyyy...food.....great servers.....I would like to especially mention the person at the reception ..always so so polite ...always smiling....I have been a regular customer since they opened..and till now I haven't ever seem this guy without smiling...he is humble and really active....a great catch for Malabar express....love their beef and chicken dry items .they are a must try
The Food was Amazing accompanied with excellent service from Tony our host who suggest to us the bestselling cuisines which you must try the munar chicken curry and Steamed fish (Hamoor) it Carried the authenticity of Kerala.
The food was super good...!! The ambience is amazing...it's like the layout of train compartment which was pretty cool...!! If you want to take a large group of people and have a nice Kerala dish then this is the place...!!
Their Kerala parotta and beef roast is a hats off... It was amazing...!!
I ordered the appam which was so soft and little sweet as per my preference...it was too good..!! We ordered few chicken dishes... everything was really good... But we don't like the chicken munnar... Something was off...!!
Fish fry was also so good ...even the fish gravy rocked...!!
Will visit again...!! ♥️

The crushed chilli hamour fish was simply fantastic. I ordered the appam seeing one of the reviews , however I feel the wheat Porotta was better. We also ordered the prawn fish mango curry which was great with Kerala rice. Although we ordered the chicken 65, the fish was definitely better taste wise.
The staff was helpful and friendly. Overall a great place for Kerala style sea food.

Best place for really delicious kerala cuisines in Dubai. I was in search of really fresh and crispy appam’s in Dubai and they you go found out here .. came to try out their appam with munnar chicken curry and mulakuidicha fish fry which was super delicious. The fish was really good being spicy and tasty as well . Munnar chicken curry was a variety among chicken curries to try out . For desserts we ordered coconut custard apple ( ambi smile - what they call it ) and jackfruit mango custard as well 👌🏼 overall the food was really good 👍🏼
Nice place. Good ambiance main mention is the staff very welcoming and friendly however the food portions are very big they can reduce the price and reduce quantity.
07.06.2019 Not my first time..crabs are awesome, naan is fresh and hot. Salad was spicy and I really couldn’t handle it. Service was quick and the staff were accommodating.
Been here twice i gues... One was 2 years ago for an iftar... And was qyite good experience.... And recently had a birthfay party there.So well mannered staff... And such yummy delicious food

So I am not a regular visitor here but I was having a craving for some Keralite seafood and I made my way here as I found this restaurant to be quite queued up during weekends. The restaurant is having a train theme concept where you think as if you are sitting in the wagon of a luxurious train. The interiors were good. Since I am more fond of spicy food , the server suggested Crushed Chilli Tawa prawns along with appams and some gravy on the side. The prawns were absolutely amazing. They were beautifully spiced up and I could feel each and every spice in my mouth. The appams were again fluffy and really well made. There was a watermelon chilled drink served upon arrival and I loved it equally. The server was really good with his knowledge of food and really professional. The staff notes the attention to detail and the food was delicious. I will definitely go here again for some more meat delicacies.
We guys regularly visit this restaurant. Very good food with nice interiors. Last week went for Easter Party. We had SNOW FISH For starters. Outstanding one. I recommend everyone to try that.
I visited this restaurant for one Birthday Party and my rating for this restaurant as below:
Food Taste 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Food Quantity 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Cleanliness
Ambiance 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Service 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Order Taker 🌟 (Very Rude) and i felt personally they prefer only Malayali Customers (for this reason i will give 4 star instead of 5 star rating for this restaurant).
Price 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Reasonable
Kindly Check before visit this restaurant for any Bank Card promos (ADCB 15% is going on now), we gone through this situation.
Visited Malabar Express for lunch today. The place was crowded and had to wait for 10 to 15 minutes before we were seated. Would have definitely proceeded to some other nearby restaurant considering the rush, but there was a manager like very humble & polite guy speaking to all those waiting & trying his best to seat asap all those waiting. People like that really make a difference. We ordered meals, chicken biriyani, naadan beef fry, king fish tawa fry. Food was good & very delicious. A recommended place for all those Kerala food lovers. But the place was packed and the waiters seemed to a bit overworked. May be they should do something about this so that customers feel satisfied in every sense.
We have been to malabar express quite a few times and were are pretty happy with the service and the food served like any other Kerala restaurant they also have similar kind of menu with biryani ,meals , bread itseems ,appam,puttu, porota and so on..however to get the uniqueness of the restaurant they had set the ambience similar to that of a malabar express train we thats unusual and there a chetta greeting the guest with his warm smile 😊..however to mention the Taste of the food is not consistent certain days their good certain times they are mere average I think that has to be focused .
Food-4/5
Ambience -5/5
Service -4/5
Price 4/5
Recommended 👍🏼👍🏼
My family and I often visit them for lunch on weekends. Though it tends to be crowded during the weekends, the food is definitely worth the wait. Authentic Kerala food served in banana leaves. The service is good and the food is reasonably priced.
Took my parents for a Kerala meal and they absolutely loved it! Their fish curry meal was the best! Their chicken fry and fish fry were delicious! The price is so very low for the quality of food we got! It’s definitely one of my favorite places now :)
No matter how many restaurants I try in Dubai for the authentic kerala cuisine nothing has even come close to the variety and the quality served here.
I cant pick one dish everything served is with lot of love and care and that is very evident from the taste.. be it even the simple meals.. add it with a very economical budgeted fish fry and you will know what i mean.. Its a must visit for the very friendly staff, to the ambience and keep visiting for the consistency, taste and love served in each dish... keep it up guys...
Hospitality one of the key point in this place. From the begining to end u will feel that. Coconut chicken curry one of the favourite in this place.
This place is one of my favourite food hub in dxb best ambience more off on a train feeling, thier mango fish curry with traditional appam is just mouth watering, also shrimp dry roast is just ravishing along with hot white rice too good go ahead and give a try.
Good food. High quantity. Friendly staff and service tasty food. Parking. I recommend. Nice ambiance train cabin super thank you malabar express
Kerala meals on banana leafs is my favourite. Trying in all Kerala restaurants its really amazing to eat nice Kerala meals in Dubai. Should try
Simple restaurant, humble staff and mouth watering dishes. It seems their malbari snacks are authentic. I loved the pazham nirachath which is a popular malbari snack. I tried hot pot veg which is their signature dish as they claim. Its really yummy and spicy.. I loved that as well. I concluded my dinner with mint juice (salted) which was also good. I loved the place altogether. Recommended for malbari food..
Lovely delicious authentic South Indian food. We loved the fish starter - Expo 20 / 20 and the mango fish curry. The staff are very courteous and always smiling!
My favorite place whenever I need to eat Kerala food. All the fish/chicken dishes are awesome and from veggies, try the Kalpathy veg when you're there next time
I was absolutely speechless when the order reached me in just 15 minutes. The fish thali is definitely delicious and totally recommended also I like their fish biryani. Nice place to family dine in for sea food.
Excellent food. Authentic taste of Kerala at affordable prices. The dishes resonate with the regional cuisine of different parts of Kerala, especially the northern region, the erstwhile Malabar. Try the variety of fish dishes. Mouth watering!!
A good place with good food. A great place to come with family. Definitely worth the price. The ambience is really good. Good service. Really like this place.
Malabar express the name itself says it all, that it's from kokan Malabar side n wud be sea food, we ordered chops, crabs ,mango fish curry,, n malbari porotha, chop was ok I wiud be preferred lil more marination , crab cry was dry ,mangi fish curry was gud ,over all gud food,theme is all about Malabar express train which is a dummy placed at first floor. Gud for clicks
One of my favourite indian resturant.. I love the starters and desert (ambi smile, red fire xhixken, payyoli chicken etc) all of them was superb. Really loved it and defintly would recommend to everyone. Price is very nominal and quantity is perfect.
If you like spicy south indian food, this place is the best place ..Tried Dragon chicken, Tawa fish fry, nonveg fish curry meals and dryfruit juice.
One of the best restaurant i have ever visited. The ambience and service were excellent. We ordered jumbo prawns, chicken tandoori, chicken elaneer curry, fish tawa and fish chatti curry. All the dishes are above the expectation. My favorite is their fish tawa which is very flavor full and will melt in your mouth. Highly recommended place. You will definitely like this place.
Keep up your standard... 👍👍👍
One of the best traditional food joint... u name it and dey deliver it with perfection for ur appetite. Our all time favorite,irachi choru and meen vattichathu... highly recommend
We visited this place on a holiday, it was full when we came and have to wait for few minutes to get the table we wanted in second floor. We ordered grilled fish, grilled prawns and mango curry. They have the best grilled seafood items however mango curry was not that great. We also tried their dessert (ambi-smile) which was so delicious! It will really put a smile on your face while eating!
The best food and best service
Highly recommended
Mutton chops is one of the best must try
In deserts must try romance
They have all traditional food of south indian

Yummy food, best service, friendly staff specially Tony kutten. I love the mango avokado puding and Pothibhiriyanii chicken....👦👧😉😉 ambiance (nice in train) is very good..
I had veg meals here and the quality and the quantity of food was great that too at the rate of 10aed. The theme they have created is very attractive and kids will love it. My colleagues who had fish meals lauded it's taste.
Thanks Malabar express to have nice food
Mr Tony give very good hospitality
Especially thava fish and avocado mango juice 😋 it very good ambience when we sit in train
Very friendly staff. The host Tony is excellent choosing the tasty dishes. Tiger prawns dish is mindblowing... A very good family atmosphere..
It is always a pleasure to eat at malabar express. the mixed nationalities at the work place also love the food especially the tawa fish. amazing hospitality especially by their staff Tony who always serves us with a cheerful attitude. keep up the good job guys
Best place to get fresh delicious delicacies at any point of time...great ambience....friendly staff...worth a try 🍱🥗🥂😁
A good place to spent with family and friends...
Fantastic food and great service from Tony!
Thanks will be back soon.
Kunjun Kozhi was fantastic and really crispy
The meals had a wide variety of dishes. Service was quick and efficient and to finish it all off the paysam was amazing too.
I have been here loads of time. I love their spread of food. I haven’t ordered everything on the menu, but a few items worth a mention: Coco Chicken served inside a coconut shell with some nice hot parottas is an instant hit. Their meals are awesome with the varieties of curries and for those who do not prefer rice can substitute it with chapatis. Their biriyani is good and if you are lucky you get to purchase and savor their surprise dish for the week or day, which has always been good to the palate.
I like the food, it's the best Indian food# Tony is very friendly and not just i meen... they all provide BEST services. The Ambiance is very attractive and cool...
Great spot for South Indian food, great ambience and great service. The staff always have a smile on their face. Food is def value for money.
We chose this wonderful place for our lunch which is called “Malabar Express” . It’s a literally cozy train set up in the restaurant . We had our delicious lunch in a nostalgic feel with good ambience and nice service. We could taste each and every aromatic spice in the dish and it was simply amazing. The lunch at this place made my day.
Our go to place in Karama...Malabar express has never disappointed in terms of flavor ,consistency and service.They have a spread when it comes to the recommendations there.Be It their authentic Biryani or their fusion food ,they hit all the right spots of our taste bud..Great work Team Malabar express and can’t thank Mr Tony enough for always caring us and getting us great food...👍🏻Forgot to take the other pics today...

المكان نظيف جداً والخدمات ممتازه والأكل ممتاز و لذيذ وفيه قسم للعوائل
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) إنه أحد أرقى مطاعم كيرالا في دبي. لقد طلبنا حساء الدجاج الساخن والحامض ، وسلطة المانجو الخام ، ولحم البقر ، وبوراتا. حساء كان مذهلا. كان بوراتا ناعمًا وقشاريًا.

It is one of the finest kerala restaurants in dubai. We ordered hot and sour chicken soup, raw mango salad, beef ulathe, porata. Soup was amazing. Porata was soft and flaky.

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) ذهبت مع الأصدقاء لتناول وجبة السمك والطعام لذيذ هذه المرة وساخن. السمك سعر أعلى قليلا ولكن جيدة.
خيارات الوجبات كانت جيدة ولكن كل العناصر كانت باردة. بسبب البرودة ، لم يكن الطعم رائعًا
