The Legacy of Malabar

Our name is inspired by the Malabar Coast, a historic region along India’s southwestern shore, known for its vital role in the global spice trade. For centuries, this region was famed for producing some of the world’s most sought-after spices, including pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon. By naming our restaurant Malabar, we pay homage to this legendary coast, reflecting our commitment to delivering the same richness and authenticity of Flavors that once travelled the world from these shores.

Cranleigh, known for its charm and community spirit, now has the opportunity to Savor something truly special. At Malabar, we believe that exceptional dining doesn’t have to be far from home. Our dishes are crafted with the finest ingredients, balancing bold, authentic Flavors with modern presentation, creating a dining experience that is both approachable and extraordinary. Whether you’re a connoisseur of Indian cuisine or new to its delights, we promise to deliver a meal that will excite your taste buds and leave you wanting more.

Our Customers Say...

  • “One of the best Indian restaurants that we have been to, in fact, we have been there 4 times in the last couple of months. The flavours in all the dishes we try are lovely and the wine is very reasonably priced. We recommend the Railway Lamb curry and the Prawn Molle. The Basmati rice pudding is my favourite”
    TRIP ADVISOR REVIEW
  • “We regularly visit Malabar in Cranleigh. The staff are always welcoming and incredibly attentive, particularly Oli, Rahat and Tanbir, making us feel very much at home from the first moment we walked in. As for the food it's always, flavoursome and perfectly cooked. So if you’re looking for great food served by very competent, friendly staff, Malabar in Cranleigh is definitely worth a try.”
    TRIP ADVISOR REVIEW
  • “We enjoyed great food and lovely service from Ash, one of the Supervisors. The restaurant has a nice vibe and I appreciate the fresh white table cloths. The Onion Bhaji starter and Sheek Kebab was excellent (not greasy) and everyone enjoyed their mains. The sizzling Chicken Tikka looked especially good.”
