Amazing food. Parotta and chicken ghee roast were the best. All the food was so fresh and tasty. The ada payasam was amazing. Highly recommend the restaurant.

I tried the Thalassery mutton biryani, Kerala parotta and mutton fry and absolutely loved them! The biryani and fry were bursting with rich flavor, and the meat in both dishes was tender, well-cooked, and delicious. I also appreciated that each dish had generous portions with whole meaty pieces rather than mostly bony ones. This definitely won’t be my last visit and I’m excited to try more items from their menu next time!

We ordered for a chicken curry and parotta and they initially said it would take 30mins but even after 45mins they mentioned 10more minutes!
After all this: provided an option either they will cancel order or 10more minutes with no guarantee they would deliver in that time

If you crave authentic Kerala food, this is the place definitely worth going to. Their Chicken Varutharachatu is absolutely delicious ! The restaurant owner was very kind to recommend and help us.

Malabar Coast truly exceeded our expectations and satisfied our Kerala food cravings perfectly. Every dish was packed with authentic flavors and tasted absolutely amazing. A special shoutout to the restaurant owner, who was incredibly kind and helpful in guiding us through the menu and making sure we ordered exactly what we were craving — especially the fried fish, which was simply outstanding and cooked to perfection. The warm hospitality combined with unforgettable food made our experience truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for real Kerala flavors and a welcoming atmosphere!

Malabar Coast is my absolute go-to spot for authentic Kerala cuisine in the Bay Area, consistently delivering on tradition and flavor. The main reason for my loyalty is their incredible Thalassery Biriyani; cooked with distinctive Kaima rice, it is incredibly fragrant, light, and perfectly layered with spices, making it easily the best version available

I honestly can't believe this restaurant has been around since 2019 and I just tried it in 2025 after all these years. We're total suckers for Kerala cuisine, and Malabar Coast hit all the right notes for me and my family.
It's near the Santa Clara DMV, tucked into the corner of an arcade complex, so it's easy to miss. The inside has decent seating and felt clean. Service was a bit slow and our server didn't seem too familiar with the menu, but it was Veteran's Day so maybe they were short-staffed. One of the owners, Nagendra, jumped in right away to help us with recommendations, which was nice. The menu was packed with dishes I hadn't even heard of before (Chicken Mappas? Chicken Varuthacharathu? Chicken Ulathu?). I hope they trim down the menu a bit or add some descriptions to make ordering easier.
Now to the stuff that really matters - the food! We ordered a bunch: Shrimp Tawa Fry and Chicken 65 for apps, then Chicken Curry with a Kerala Porotta, a couple of aappams, and a Mutton Biryani. Portions are generous, so plan accordingly. We ordered extra on purpose to try more and didn't mind leftovers for the next day.
The Shrimp Tawa Fry was fantastic. The Porotta and appams were freshly made, flavorful, and hot. Just spot on! The Chicken Curry was tasty but could use a touch more seasoning. The Mutton Biryani had great flavor but the goat pieces were a little tough and could've used some more time in the pressure cooker. Still, the portion and prep were solid.
Overall, I'd absolutely recommend this place. If they can tighten up the service and get the word out better, I think they'll build a strong following. The food quality really stands out compared to other spots, and I hope they keep that up.
While the food tastes good, the hygiene standards are seriously lacking. One of the male staff members was serving plates by holding the inside surface — the part we’re supposed to eat from — with his bare hands. That’s completely unhygienic.
The same thing happened with the takeout boxes. He was handling them by touching the inside, showing no understanding of basic food safety.
If this is how they operate in front of customers, I don't want to imagine what happens behind the scenes. Hygiene should be a priority, not an afterthought.
