Malabar Darlinghurst – Indian Cuisine

WelcomE

Malabar Darlinghurst Restaurant opened its doors in 2003. Featuring mesmerising floor to ceiling murals of India, solid timber chairs and a cuisine filled with healthy fresh traditional choices, Malabar pays homage to its South Indian heritage. The sharing style menu features a vast selection of South Indian specialities such as Barramundi Varuval, Dosai and the signature Goan Fish Curry.

Sprawled over a wide open space, the 100 seater Malabar, is one of the most atmospheric and comfortable restaurants in the Darlinghurst area. It offers a range of dining options from large group tables, through to intimate tables for two and takeaway. Located within an easy walk of trains, buses and parking stations, it’s perfectly placed for a quick lunch, a feast dinner, large celebratory events and family get togethers.
