Reservations
Lunch or dinner, and a proper conversation.
A meal at Malabar, from the moment you walk in.
The dining room
The ceiling is acoustic, so even a full room stays quiet enough to hear the person across the table.
10 minutes in
Your wine is poured.
You have brought a bottle from home. We open it and pour it into our Malabar glasses. Corkage is $5 per person, or you can choose from our wine list.
20 minutes in
You order for the table.
Not sure what to choose? Ask us. We will help you pick a few dishes to share, mild or with more heat, and tell you how much the table will need.
45 minutes in
The food arrives.
Everything comes from Chef Mohammed Sali's kitchen. The masalas are ground in-house, and the black pepper from the Malabar Coast is ground fresh each morning. Dishes go in the middle of the table, and everyone reaches in.
An hour in
Room for dessert.
Leave room for something sweet. Have it with a masala chai, or an Indian filter coffee made with Monsoon beans from the Malabar Coast.
Later
You are still talking.
The plates are cleared and the chai is finished. Someone asks for another, because nobody is ready to leave yet.
Book your table.
