About this spot
In the heart of Deira's bustling souks, Malabar serves authentic Indian curries that feel like a warm hug from home rather than a tourist trap. The kitchen specializes in rich, spice-forward gravies served over fluffy basmati rice or soft naan breads that soak up every drop of flavor.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the butter chicken first to ensure it arrives piping hot before the sauce separates.
- Save room for the dessert platter featuring sweet gulab jamun and crispy jalebi.
- Ask for extra chutneys on the side if you want to balance the heat of your vindaloo.
