Cafe Malabar brings the vibrant flavors of Kerala’s Malabar Coast to Victoria. Located in the Victoria Public Market, we specialize in authentic Keralan cuisine using locally sourced ingredients, such as island-grown vegetables and sustainably caught seafood. Co-owned by chefs Kiran Kolathodan and Karma Tenpa, our menu features dishes like Alleppey Fish Curry and Chicken Malabar Dum Biriyani. Named “Best South East Asian Restaurant” by YAM Magazine in 2024, Cafe Malabar offers a memorable dining experience through bold flavors and a fusion of Indian and West Coast ingredients.
