My husband walked by and said it looked really nice my comments were not another Indian and were trying to save money. I walked past and yes looked lovely so looked at the menu and they did a 3 curry special lunch time deal. We ordered this and thought it wouldn't be enough so wanted to order some sides but the lovely waiter said it the would be more than enough. Two pints of cobra at 4.95 which is a real great price and lunch at 7.95. Wow wow wow it was superb, superb flavours, superb service and superb price. We will definitely be going back again. Thank you so much a lovely surprise

Great place very polite we weren’t sure what to order for a snack type lunch asked them to suggest what to eat. It was perfect marinated meat with a salad and a paratha. We drank tea as were driving. A little sun trap as well will be going back soon.

After being turned down for lunch at a few places in Eastbourne we ended up at Malayalam. It was our first time eating here! We were welcomed with a big smile! Very friendly staff and delicious food! We will be recommending this pleace for friends and we will be back too!

Malayalam has become a firm favourite for us. Despite all the restrictions of the past year, we have squeezed in many visits when they have been able to open. Our latest one was last week for a delicious lunch in the sun. The food was fabulous as always, we opted for a lamb and chicken curry with delicious parathas and a side dish of okra which no visit is complete without. We always get a warm welcome and the service is excellent. We are happy to be back!

I have been wanting to visit Malayalam since it opened, and this was my first visit. It was lovely. We had 2 different types of chicken curry,one hotter than the other, but subtle, lemon rice and some lovely rice cakes called Kallapam. So different from your usual Indian, which are predominantly Bangladeshi. I will definitely be going back

Picked Malayalam because we love Indian food and there was a cold wind blowing, but not on their shady pavement terrace. Seating felt safely spaced and we were quickly served by staff wearing masks. We watched them clean other tables between guests. We had the Non-veggie lunch and were very much reminded of Kerala. Great Dosas. The wine was pleasant and well priced.
Definitely going back to sample more of their lovely food!Excellent value.

Another fabulous meal with my family, just love this place. The Xhosa’s are incredibly yummy. Had the new savoury doughnut starter, so tasty.

UNREAL
I had the fish in banana leaf and it was fantastic and also the stuffed dosa which was great too, we have a normal Indian we go to but tonight fancied trying something different and had no idea these dishes from the Kerala region existed. They were honestly so good and so different!

We are from South London, the Chilli Paneer and Masala Dosa tasted better than our local tooting south Indian restaurants. Food hygiene rating of 5 as well. Will definitely come here again when we visit Eastbourne beach again.

We chose Malayalam because it has different dishes to your usual Indian. We loved the flavours and the Beef Ularthiyathu was a favourite as was the Malayali Erachi Curry. Personally, I like a bit more heat so added some fresh chilli. We also ordered a chicken main, but felt it would have been better with thigh meat as the breast meat gets too dry, so wouldn't order again. Will try again.

We were delighted that Malayalam had reopened, albeit outside. Whatever the weather we were going to be there on their first day opening for lunch.
Our group had a lovely range of food. Some of us had the Thali lunch that was very reasonably priced. Even with large appetites, we found the portions to be very big. Lovely fresh food nicely spiced. We’ve booked to go back next week!

The takeaway service here was amazing. Food prepared on time and staff very friendly when picking up. The flavours from the food were amazing. I would highly recommend this place to friends. We cannot wait to go here for the first time, in person, when restrictions allow. The vegetarian feast was so filling (for two) and just delicious.

Many of my friends are South Indian Tamil and Kerala cuisine is similar so I feel I know good South Indian food.<br><br>The marsala dosi was tasty and the lamb biryani was delicious in a nice banana leaf wrap.<br><br>The chilli paneer was disappointing as paneer should be coated in corn flour and fried until golden then added to the chilli paneer sauce. This improves the texture and taste of the paneer.<br><br>If it wasn't for the paneer I would have given 4 stars out of 5.

Admittedly the four of us had a takeaway, and I'm sure (judging by the amazing images posted on Facebook) a visit to the restaurant would have enhanced the experience, but we where all underwhelmed by our food.
We had been so looking forward to sampling their offering, but in reality, the dishes where bland and lacking the *pop* of fresh herbs, spices, etc. Instead the dishes seemed stew like, and lacking any garnish.This would be expected from a run of the mill takeaway, but not from a high-end restaurant which is considerably more expensive than average.
Although I have never been to Kerala, I have spent time in Goa, the neighbouring province, and have been to keralan restaurants and I'm sorry to say that this meal didn't compare favourably.Perhaps I'm being harsh having had only one meal, but all four of us felt the same.
