The Grand Malabar Indian Cuisine offers authentic and delicious food, with a special focus on the Malabar chicken biryani combo which has a rich, genuine flavor. The restaurant features family-friendly seating arrangements and private cubicle-style seating for those seeking more privacy. Customers praise the generous portions and flavorful rice of the Chicken Biryani Combo, often highlighting the extra chicken fry pieces that add a tasty punch. Many consider it one of the best chicken biryanis in the GTA and possibly the best in Ontario. The menu is compact and straightforward, featuring only authentic dishes that evoke nostalgic feelings. While the food remains outstanding, some customers suggest that the service could be quicker for dine-in guests, especially during busy times when takeout orders increase.
Recently, guests have enjoyed a variety of dishes, including beef deep fry as an appetizer, shrimp curry, and mutton biryani, along with palappam and uniyalpam falooda for dessert. The restaurant has been described as cozy, with polite and friendly staff. However, a few customers noted some minor issues, such as flies entering during warmer months and restrooms needing improvement. Overall, the restaurant is highly recommended for biryani lovers, offering flavorful dishes, good portions, and a pleasant ambiance—just a little improvement in service and other small details would enhance the experience further.
