The food here is really good—it tastes just like authentic Indian cuisine. It’s the best I’ve tried in the United Kingdom. I went for the buffet, and it only cost me £10. The menu changes every day, which makes it even better. I only realized I was in the UK once I stepped out of the restaurant, because inside it truly felt like being in India—with both the atmosphere and the flavors they offer.

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! 🌟 We’re delighted to hear that you found our food truly authentic and that it reminded you of being in India — that’s exactly the experience we want our guests to have. It’s great to know you enjoyed the buffet variety and found it amazing value at £10, with daily menu changes adding to the experience. We really appreciate your detailed feedback on dishes like the Chicken Fried Rice, Hyderabadi Biryani, Kuttu Parotta, Dosa, Idli, and Uttapam — it means a lot to us. We’ll keep working hard to bring you those authentic flavours every time you visit. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon! Regards, Team Malabar Bites
The food was really delicious and the atmosphere was really nice. Has lots of variety and an unlimited buffet is available for £10 (excluding drinks) which is really worth the price. Flavourful, welcoming and satisfying would be the words I would be using for this place.

Delicious Malabar buffet! Great variety, fresh flavours, and the Al Faham chicken was the star perfectly grilled and full of spice. Friendly service and good value. A must-try for lovers of South Indian food!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I tried the buffet (£10) and it was absolutely worth the money! The variety of dishes was great, and everything tasted authentic — just like proper south indian cuisine. The flavours were rich, homely, and reminded me of traditional cooking back home. If you’re looking for genuine South Indian food at a very reasonable price, Malabar Bites is definitely a place to visit.

Thank you, Theivendran, for your kind 5-star review! 🌟 We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the flavours, found our staff helpful, and loved the dosa — it’s one of our proudest specialties. We’re so glad your breakfast experience was smooth with no wait, and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Regards, Team Malabar Bites
The food was astounding, I'm a vegetarian and although they do serve meat (my partner assured me it was mouth meltingly delicious!), the samba and chick pea curry were just perfect. I had a masala dosa and the best mango lassi I've ever tasted to wash it down. I highly recommend this lovely, restaurant which felt like a true, early welcoming community hub

Great new South Indian restaurant serving Dosa and the usual breakfast/brunch items. The Masala Dosa and samba are really good and so are the vada and chutneys. The staff are super friendly and accommodating, I would recommend highly.
