Malabar Cafe - Kerala restaurant in Kochi, Ernakulam - Ernakulam, India

We stayed at the Hyatt and came here every morning for the breakfast and it's simply amazing. Good food, a lot of variety. Indian breakfast, English breakfast, continental, you will find everything you can think of. We also came here for the dinner buffet a few times which was also very good. The service is great.

One of the best buffets I ever tasted. The menu is so well crafted to satisfy a wide spectrum of people across the world. Ambience is classy. The theeyal and pachadi was out of this world. So well made with a lot of love. I would definitely visit this place again. The only downside i felt is the desert section. They could have added ice creams

I went to the Malabar Cafe for their dinner buffet, which had a large variety of mouth watering dishes. The cafe looks amazing, just what anyone would expect from a 5 star hotel's restaurant. All of the dishes, ranging from Kerala cuisine, Indian cuisine, Mediterranean salads, grills, a few Italian varieties and more had a decent quality, only very few dishes stood out. The food was pleasant, but for it's cost I would have expected a little better, but it didn't disappoint. With the countless options they provide I would recommend going early to have the time to try out all of them . They have a delicious dessert collection too, but having a drawback of being hidden behind a glass display and served upon request. The whole buffet was a wonderful experience, but it's not worth more than a one-time visit.

The place itself is so overwhelming. The interiors are done so beautifully that refreshes your mind and soul. Tried their buffet. It has so many varieties of dishes, north indian , south indian. Also there was margarita pizza,and alfam.. that was different from normal buffets.. The starter barbequed prawns and tawa seer fry had a unique flavour. The attirachi samosa and chicken tikka was superb. The palkatti which was paneer fry was average. Kappa meencurry combo was delicious.The thalassery chicken biriyani, was tasty. There were wide options for pickles as well.Also the grill chicken,lamb stew, corn and scaffold rice and vegetable parmigiana,was nice. There were different varieties of salads which were all refreshing.Special mention to the desserts . The mango cheesecake, white angel pudding, chocolate gateux, honey nut icecream, cottoncandy icecream, burfies,all were yummy..!! Each of their item had a unique flavour.The service was really exceptional. The place is such a beauty and the view is so great, perfect for a nice stroll. The restrooms were all so well maintained and so pretty!

This week we went for a lunch buffet. The cafe's ambience and view is good.All the dishes, from various cuisines had a decent quality, but only very few dishes stood out. The non vegetarian offerings ( predominantly Kerala cuisine) were many, while the vegetarian dishes were few and quality was below par. They have a fairly decent dessert collection too, but many are hidden behind a glass display and served upon request. The whole buffet was a good experience, but it's definitely not worth (INR2500) and deserves more than a one-time visit.

Serene atmosphere makes everything tasty. Hyatt and Lulu group has done a commendable job in building and maintaining this eye candy property on the shores of Vembanad lake. Malabar Cafe is spread in a wide area indoor and outdoor seating. Cuisine is traditional Kerala food, but the Chefs take extra care about your allergies and spice tolerance if informed. We had a fun evening with family at Malabar Cafe and enjoyed the nature as well outside.

I came to this restaurant last year for breakfast and loved it so much that I came back with my family this year for breakfast and lunch. The service, quality, and variety of food is incredible. During my recent visit we had Soyata helping us and she is so sweet! I highly recommend coming here during your next Kerala trip. You won't be disappointed! :)

I recently dined at Malabar Cafe in Grand Hyatt, Kochi, and it truly stands out as the best restaurant in Kerala for its delectable food, impeccable service, and attention to detail. The surprise addition of a special fish curry, expertly crafted by the celebrity chef, paired perfectly with tapioca, showcasing the chef's culinary mastery. Chef Latha's commitment to high-quality, authentic dishes using fresh ingredients prepared in a traditional manner is evident in every bite. Malabar Cafe is an awesome dining experience, and I highly recommend it for those seeking an exceptional taste of Kerala cuisine.
