Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
Malabar Indian Restaurant is like the dependable friend who always shows up to your birthday but never brings a proper gift. The food gets high marks for flavor, with the prawn curry and railway lamb making mouths water, but the overall experience feels a bit flat compared to the rave reviews. Yes, it's clean and the staff are friendly, but something feels off, like that one mate who swears they can cook but always burns the toast.
The atmosphere is pleasant enough, but it falls short of the grand experience you might expect from an Indian restaurant with a good rep. Loyal customers like Anna M and Chan might keep coming back for the standard fare and decent service, but let’s be real—if you’re looking for fireworks, you might want to keep looking. 😐
