Be careful! Except Vegetable Curry, Potato Dosa that you can buy better at kiosk for $12,50 all Her food is fried in a deep friteier, the chicken, Calamari rides, and fish I am the former owner of Malabar restaurant. If you don't believe me, please ask our homeless chef Adam, Brian, Miguel and Carlos. 10 days ago we had to kill a rat at 8:00 in the empty dining room. Later red blood was cleaned. Adam found rat puppet in the rice can. The new owners threw the rat away and cooked the same rice. I found Ratte Poop on the rice lid, behind the bakery table is the main rat hole. You have no pest control. Miguell is the rat catcher. Adam is the one who releases her back into the wilderness. I saw that. In the night they do not the left dishes such fruit flies. They just sweep the kitchen floor and not. If I lie, you can see that the starting part of the dining room is so greasy that it sticks to the shoes. Indian customers complain about potato fillings. When I ran the restaurant, I wrote $1000 worth of production from Wednesday farmers market. They bring cheap warehouse products from San Jose. 15% of them are spoiled. When they produce, they transport their dog. Once I and Carlos unloaded the car, we found dog breaks. They all get up. They put it in the rice cooker and heat it. Bacteria Soggy rice. After their Crock pot broke, they keep the dal soup on a two burners with a handmade steam boiler. Once the water is over at the end of the night, they put it in the microwave. Bathrooms are cleaned 3x's per week. When I ran the restaurant twice a week, I'll take a master house and polish the dining room. I just saw them put the dining room twice to Covid. Dirty metal shell and behind this shelf is so dirty. Behind the bakery table is dirty. Under the workstation is dirty. Work's broken now. Broken table in the camps foods are not held around 6. When I ran the kitchen on Monday, we cleaned the kitchen for 6 hours. If I can't find anyone to clean it, my 87-year-old father helped me do it. Now they clean the kitchen once a month so night for 20 minutes. Baseboards are already dirty. Uncovered food in the walk. Containers to go into water leaks because I got this walk 15 years ago. Hand wash basin has no hot water. Cold saucer and Chutneys not kept in ice for service. Updated by previous review on 2022-12-23

The menu is completely online and you are asked to scan a QR code for access. I made it clear with the staff that the V vegan meant and it turns out that many articles could be made vegan on request. We started with the Vegetable Pakora and Rosemary and Garlic Flatbread, which I was told vegan made. However, they still contained the oil above, but fortunately it is easily removed. I loved the flatbread most and the pakora were also great, although I 've liked a bit more Chutney on the side. For our head, I ordered her Mango Mandel Plantain Curry $15). My curry was quite delicious, although I felt there was so much plantain compared to mango slices. I enjoyed this Sri Lankan curry and my parents also liked their salmon. Overall, it was a nice dinner in Malabar with what we ordered. In the end, I would probably have subbedded the Pakora or Curry for the vegan Nasi Goreng to add more bang for your Buck. Next time I have to try.

Had dinner there, enjoyed most of our food. It was easy to say what vegan was on the menu. Gobi Manchurian never arrived, but we had enough food. Fresh mango salad was great, and so was the dosa. The mango curry was like that. The menu says the coin box is not vegan, but the waiter said it was vegan and the menu has a mistake.
