Malabar @ Darlinghurst

Can not beat Malabar for an awesome and authentic Indian meal

Vegan butter chicken had a weird sweet taste. The actual texture of the large lumps of "chicken" was also weird and not tasty. Other food (fish curry) good.

Food was delicious - really enjoyed the lentil and vegan butter chicken curries in particular. The garlic and coriander naan and the aloo kulcha were also great - I preferred these over the garlic and cheese naan. Loved the bangalore dosai as well. In short - you can't go wrong with any of the dishes! A little pricier than my usual casual meal out with friends but the food was excellent. Recommend!

For the other Brits missing a decent curry, this place has the best curry in Sydney!

I’ve been to Malabar lots of times. Every time, it’s reliably excellent. The food is fantastic, the service is particularly on point, and the ambience really makes for a fun night. We thoroughly recommend Malabar

This restaurant ticks all the boxes for an enjoyable dining experience. It never fails to deliver. I would rate Malabar the best local gem in Darlinghurst.

As always excellent food and great service

Our first time and very happy with service and food. The only disappointment was the Kerala Parotta...nothing like the fluffy light delight in Kerala, India.

Excellent as always - beautiful food.

Always great food & service

Brilliant as always, our favourite restaurant in Sydney. Great room, great service, excellent food. Always packed (for good reason) and a good selection of daily specials.

Wonderful as always

Awesome- neighbourhood gem. Always busy with a great atmosphere. Food is top notch and service is great. Can’t fault it. We come as often as we can

Goat curry is superb

Always amazing value. Large serves means that smaller dishes are a great way to dine unless really hungry. Good range of drinks but BYO a real plus.

Marvellous as always.

Malabar is a constant. Always reliable, always welcoming, always excellent food standards and ingredients. It's also BYO. Malabar is our go-to Indian restaurant in the east.

Excellent service from waiters and Emily. Tasty food!

Food portions are very small and over priced, quality of the food itself is lacking given the price for such a small dish, Malabar used to be one of the best Indian places to eat a couple years ago, now it's below average in taste and over priced

Excellent food and service, getting better and better.
