Very disappointed- we looked at the reviews most stating the food is lovely etc. we decided to order a takeaway and when I went to collect they had got the order wrong. This was soon sorted and they did apologise. My order arrived soon after, took it home to find the tubs were half full, rice cold and the naan bread was small and also cold. The dishes were bland and tasted like one you would buy from a supermarket, not enjoyable at all. It could have just been a ‘bad night’ but we will not be ordering from there again
The food is always excellent, the staff very friendly and helpful. We have eaten here for over 20 years, and would have no hesitation in recommending the restaurant to anyone.

Staff and food was excellent. May not have a deal on mid week but worth every penny to eat in this restaurant. Same chef for 26 years says alot .........moving with the Times and keep loyal staff.

The service and staff were excellent. It was a quiet time for the restaurant. The food was warm and presented well. The complimentary drink was a nice touch.
Polite & welcoming atmosphere.Was unsure of a dish I'd tasted before as i couldn't remember the name & the gentleman knew what I was describing & said its not in the menu but we can make it for you - I was so pleased that they would do that - it tasted amazing.My wife couldn't believe how tasty the food was & certainly enjoyed the experience.Starter/Main & Puddings are well priced & tasted great.Thank you for a rememberable night for our date night.Would highly recommend this establishment if you want great food & service ?Parking: Parking spaces outside the establishment.

I booked a table for 6 to take my elderly parents out and when we arrived we were taken upstairs to a room looking at the toilets and it was grim. We waited nearly 2 hours for our main and when we chased it up we were advised 1 of chefs had gone home poorly. It would have been nice to of been told this initially. All the rice dishes were freezing and I had to wait another 10 minutes for my main of monk fish. Yeh again the rice and veg were cold but the fish was hot. The waiter offered to change it but I’d had enough by then. We have been to Malabar many times over the years but feel as though there is no customer service anymore. The waiter really couldn’t be bothered. I wouldn’t waste my hard earned money again.
