Malabar Junction is a South Indian restaurant with a real difference. The interior of the ground floor restaurant is much larger than you’d expect and the décor is very tasteful – in fact more like a French restaurant in a conservatory setting with its elegant glass domed ceiling and greenery.
Malabar Junction offers a combination of authentic Cochin, Malabar and Travancore cuisine in the Keralian tradition, drawing attention to the fundamental difference between North and South Indian food. As you’d expect, many Keralian dishes are based on seafood and fish. However the difference is that the cuisine is rich, gently spiced and tasty without being mouth-searingly hot and blasting like North Indian food.
Although the restaurant has meat and vegetarian dishes their speciality is fish and seafood. Consequently the organiser felt it would be appropriate to opt for a dinner featuring these. Our menu tonight has a selection of dishes that will give you an idea of the style of Keralian cuisine and comprises the organiser’s favourite dishes from the main menu - Cochin Prawn Curry and Fish Nilgiri - with others from their party menus
