My experience with this place they definitely have to improve the meat quantity which is very low for the price. Even the biriyani quantity is low compared with other places. In short the quantity of meat definitely needs improvement if they want to stay in the market !

I am a regular to grand Malabar considering they have very compact menu and not confusing with a lot of items. Just the authentic dishes in the menu which has some nostalgic value, the food is absolutely yum, only if the service can be a little more quick for dine in customer it would be great, as I understand there is a lot of take out orders on the go and it gets busy, in which small nuances like services to dine in customers go a miss, otherwise it’s been a great experience...

Probably the best Malabar restaurant I’ve tried in Canada. I drove all the way from Mississauga to have their biryani and they did not disappoint. To the owner - kudos for running this venture.
