Malabar House - HAZELWOOD PARK

Genuinely good food very tasty. Nice service. Fantastic naan bread. Easy parking and lots of space.

Delicious Onam Sadhya lunch. Authentic kerala dishes and nice ambience.

Good Ambience ; nice place to get social . Not for authentic indian food lovers ,slightly expensive food .

We found this place from entertainment book, and decided to give it a go on a Saturday night. We were the only table at the restaurant for quite some time, and put through our order straight away. It was a long wait for our food to arrive, almost 45 mins, mind you, there were only two tables including us. We ordered two mains a beef vindaloo and another beef dish, a dosa as a side dish, and a rice and a glass of wine to share. Dosa was nice, best of all dishes. Vindaloo was so sour, the most off balance vindaloo I've ever had, and I can tell you, I've had many vindaloos, in fact, I only order vindaloo when dining at Indian restaurants. By far, this is the WORST vindaloo ever. The other beef dish was ok nothing, nothing to write home about, just like the rice.When we asked for the bill and advised that we have the entertainment book voucher with one main and get one main free. We were told that they didn't accept entertainment book voucher anymore because the business was recently sold! We insisted that they should honor the deal because it's their problem that they didn't advise entertainment book the change of ownership. The waitress came back and gave us the bill and said they took off the dosa. I asked if dosa is a main meal, she said yes. Wow, a price equal to a starter, you are telling me it's a main, interesting!Put aside the entertainment book problem, just the food itself wasn't very pleasant is enough for us not to come back, let alone the dishonor and dishonesty from the owner and waitress.If this is how you run your hospitality business, I wish you the best of luck, because you will need it. And now I can understand why there were only two tables for the whole night!!!!

They refused to honour my Entertainment Book coupon for 25% off a platter for two, after already confirming on the phone that I could use it.
