Mallus Restaurant in Maidstone

Strongly recommended. Good indian cousine, nice location in the city center. I especially appreciated the kindness and support provided by the staff.

The food was very tasty and the service was very good.

Very good experience and nice service. Great place to experience Kerala cuisine and more..chicken biriyani ,kuttanadan fish curry are must try…

A truly keralite food experience. A welcoming sight to those of us who know what this food entails and for those who haven't tried it yet should try and be bewitched by the taste.

We came here for a family meal. The restaurant was bustling with people. The staff were helpful and attentive. The food was excellent and full of flavour. It was freshly cooked authentic food and delicious. The portion size was generous.

Price are very high but portion are very small same food you can eat london cheaper than this restaurant with satisfied portion not recommended this restaurant unless if you want spend money then you can go this restaurant and also staffs are look like they are not happy to work with customers 👎

Great food. Only downside is the dress code which forces you to keep the shirt on at all times 🙂

This karalan cuisine is to die for, pure and simple. Have tried a number of meals off the menu and nothing has disappointed. The chef is obviously very skilled with the mix of different spices that are used in each individual dish. Amazing.

We happened across this delightful Keralite restaurant in the heart of Maidstone and had a truly delightful and authentic culinary experience. Service is impeccable and we will definitely be coming back.

Pleasantly surprised. Very good food. Had the non veg Thali not seen before elsewhere

One of the best meals of my life. Authentic dishes from the Kerala region of India. Recommended by a friend who I went with. I only wish I lived nearer!

Traveled quite a distance to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and it was absolutely worth it!. They warmly welcomed us and joined in our celebration. The authentic Kerala cuisine was a true culinary delight every dish was bursting with flavour and served with genuine warmth. The ambiance was serene, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. A memorable experience in every sense delicious food, heartfelt service, and an atmosphere that felt like home. Simply Adipoli.

Great service great value for money too

Delicious south Indian food at a reasonable price. Great service too. And we got a doggie bag for the leftovers.

The dining environment was excellent, and the service was truly top-notch. The staff were exceptionally polite and professional. As for the food—it was absolutely delicious. I ordered the grilled prawns as a starter and the lamb spinach with garlic naan. Both the quality and quantity were impressive. Highly recommended

Delicious food, great service. We would definitely recommend.

Delicious what a wonderful way to spend Danny Ts birthday. Will be sure to come again.

Went for lunch. Nice to find a south Indian restaurant. Had no idea what to expect. Lunch was delicious. Second outing. Had the Thali. Was delicious

What an incredible restaurant. Every food we tasted beyond excellence. The chefs restaurant is a God's Grace. Thank you 😊

Great food. Relaxing music. Really friendly and polite staff. Would definitely visit again.

The food that we had was very tasty, especially chicken lollipop, the taste was very delicious and unexplainable. We also had appam with beef roast and also kizhi paratta with chicken, it was very tasty. So happy and really satisfied with the food. The service and the atmosphere was amazing, enjoyed a lot😃😃😃

Very nice experience, we had the Thali and it was delicious

Food was very fresh and yummy. All the staff were smiling and well served. Price is reasonable.

Very good food. We will be back. Loved all of it

Superb tilapia curry in banana leaf which I come here often for. Also great ambiance created by music and decoration. Service is good too, friendly staff 👍🏼

Really nice restaurant, good ambience, good food, good people, thank you making good food.

Very nice place , clean restaurant .

Being away from home, "Mallus" has always fulfilled my desire for "homely" cuisine. I have visited Mallus several times and this place has only improved through out the time. The staff are so friendly and attentive. Even at the busy hours they serve all the customers so promptly that I have never heard a complaint neither had to raise a concern from my end. Food is undoubtedly delicious, and Beef ullarthiythu is my favorite. My husband is vegetarian and ge has all his favorite options available. My little one loves Masala dosa and she repeats it everytime she visits Mallus😄 The ambience is well defined with Kerala art and culture, well kept, always clean, well lit and temperature well maintained. We always take our family to Mallus when they visit us and would equally recommend any one having a "home call" moment.

Sadya was amazing. Food was delicious. Great service!! Thank you so much.

Not impressed at all. Came in and was waiting for the menu for around ten minutes till I decided to go to the bar and ask for one even though the restaurant wasn't busy and waiters were joking around. Received it quite quickly after request and drinks followed quickly with no issues. Then I tried to order veg thali and I checked their website before I came and hours when it was served, they said only today they haven't got it and offered meat options where it doesn't make any sense when I am vegetarian with my wife (so the journey is wasted) Didn't bother to help or offer something similar. After finishing drinks and poppadoms I asked for a bill and the waiter gave me a very funny face when he couldn't understand what I wanted, I repeated again and started looking at my wife like what I want (If you can't understand say so and I can repeat but don't act like I am doing something wrong when you probably have language barriers, nothing against that, but it's not how to behave) So the final thought is that I don't believe they did something on purpose, I think they tried to be friendly and professional, but still failed miserably.

Excellent food every time. Great price and great atmosphere. I’ve been here multiple times and am always left pleased.

Lovely food, fantastic service!

Superb meal for Vishu! Over 20 dishes, all amazing flavours 😊

I was with my partner last Saturday, decided to give it a go after finding out it was South Indian. I use to go to North London sometimes just to eat at my favourite South Indian restaurants, No more, the food was outstanding!!! Lovely staff, and a nice atmosphere. The bill was very reasonable!!

Fantastic authentic meal. Highly recommend.

This was our first time here and the vegetarian meal was delicious. The staff went out of their way to serve us with such pride and joy. 5 stars for all categories.

We had a truly delicious & wonderful experience this afternoon at this great restaurant. Food, service & ambience was a delight. We will certainly visit again. 😋😋😋

Happy new year to the team at Mallus. A truly memorable experience with wonderfully tasty combination of dishes with devotional musical background . The team explained the numerous dishes and served smilingly throughout .

We recently visited Mallu’s Restaurant for the Vishu Sadya, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was incredibly delicious—truly a “Thani Nadan” taste that brought back memories of home. The hospitality was amazing, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel truly welcome. The ambiance, complemented by nostalgic nadan background songs, created a perfect Kerala vibe. It genuinely felt like we had stepped into a home away from home. Highly recommend this place for a hangout with friends or a cozy meal with family. A must-visit for authentic Kerala cuisine lovers!

First of all the place/atmosphere was really nice. But the food was okay, we ordered prawn briyani and all we could taste was ghee. The fish was very small portion and indeed very expensive for a small portion. We unfortunately ordered rice and we had hair in it which was very disappointing! We travelled a lot for this restaurant and was very disappointing.

This was our first visit. It was fantastic. Amazing dosas and everything else was delicious. Will definitely be back Tracey

Great food and excellent service, they ensure you have a wonderful dining experience and provide one of the best curries I’ve had would highly recommend, will be back! 😁

Amazing curry amazing service and great night out . Would highly recommend trying this place. The beef curry is amazing

Outstanding food, easily best curry I’ve personally had, quality of service is immaculate. Would definitely recommend to any and everyone.

Absolutely wonderful! The most delicious meal!

Been twice now and absolutely love the food and service here!! Staff so knowledgeable and helpful with explaining some of the items on the menu and always have a little chat! Don't rush you and we'll the food is absolutely amazing will be back for a third time soon!

Food is good and ambiance also good

I highly recommend Mallus restaurant, the food was amazing and the service was fantastic. We enjoyed your delicious food (especially kizhi chicken biriyani & kizhi Porotta with beef )and the evening was everything we met expectation.The food was absolutely delicious and the flavours were so authentic!!! I will definitely be ordering again.

Had a lovely meal at Mallus with my wife. The food was delicious and authentic, and the staff were friendly and helpful—even when an item wasn’t available, they gave great recommendations. The place was bustling with Asian diners, which says a lot about how close it feels to home.

Food was delicious. Lovely friendly service. Will definitely be coming back!

Really friendly staff, amazing service, really clean and the food was outstanding. Would definitely come here again.

Amazing food, and excellent service

The best Kerala food for every one in my perspective please do visit this restaurant everything and every item is awesome thank you for serving it was great pavan thanks you 🙏

We had a lovely evening meal at Mallus, the service was very friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. It was nice to have a choice of Keralan dishes.

Incredible dining experience! The prawn malabar was sensational and the service was the exact level of professional hospitality that you would expect from a top tier Indian restaurant. Would recommend to all!

Always lovely food and great service

Always great to eat here. The food and service is excellent!

Very good, excellent in fact!! The egg masala is to die for!!

Love was lovely 😻 Staff were amazing

Absolutely delicious and a little different from your average restaurant. It feels more like home cooked food. I will definitely visit again.

An amazing place with excellent service!

Fantastic South Indian food. Not your usual Indian ! Staff so friendly

Quick Services, Clean Hygiene Dining. And Fantastic Food Really Love it Indian Kerala Food.

To be honest, anyone who wants to waste their money should go to this terrible restaurant. Yesterday, we ordered a takeaway and got the Chilli Paneer, which cost £7.45. However, when I opened the container, there were hardly four pieces of paneer, and that was it. Nothing matched the price. Items that we ordered like samosas(3 minuscule- £4.99), coconut chutney(so watery) and cauliflower Manchurian were all JUST MInUSCULE. And it cost me an overall £20 which was a total waste of money. Please avoid going to this restaurant. Please shut the restaurant. Hello, My review is completely honest based on my experience at your restaurant. Your response was filled with sarcasm, and I wonder if you have ever dined at any restaurants in the UK. If you had, you would understand how much they charge for such minuscule portions. Your reply is unfounded, and I suspect that many of your reviews are not from real customers, but rather fabricated by your team. How can you justify charging £7.49 for just six pieces of paneer, which is the price of a main portion? Every time I visit your restaurant, it’s almost empty, and now I understand why! 🤣

Came into Maidstone today to get food, we were planning on going to the brenchly pub, but heard the amazing reviews about this place and decided to try it out!!! It was honestly 10/10. Bit spicy, however everything was amazing !!! Truly lovely Indian.

Excellent service good hospitality and divine food.Would recommend to friends and family.

Food was too good with good spice level. Appam was fantastic. Kids too enjoy the food

Really good and really enjoyable experience

Best restaurant to open around town, I haven’t had this great and fresh food in while with the best customer service!! Defo recommend!!

I phoned initially (as this was our first time there PLUS we had just minutes before been 100% let down by another curry house that implied it was open..but in fact..was not after 1300! However as it turned out "their loss was OUR gain") Phone was answered after just a couple of rings by the waiter we met later at the door who had excellent phone manners is both very polite and professional. On arrival we 3 were met in a very friendly way with service provided being at the right medium (not intrusive but polite and there when needed) Food on arrival was to say they have a very good chef that matched the service. It was EXCELLENT! On getting the bill it was noted it had been very reasonably priced. The vindaloo (both lamb and chicken) was not overly hot..(I do like hot so this could be subjective) also ordered the speciality beef Ijularth which was EXCELLENT. We will definately return..and also recommend highly..FULL STARS from all 3 of us... Keep it going....

Amazing service and the chef and staff were so helpful with menu choices especially as I'm intolerant to loads of foods. The food was delish and my cocktail was to die for. The cucumber cooker something

Fantastic veg thali so many varieties..

Mallus in Maidstone offers a fresh take on Indian cuisine with a focus on Kerala flavours. Even on a Monday, the restaurant had a lively atmosphere with warm décor and ambient music. The service was excellent. The staff were attentive but not intrusive. The menu was different from typical curry houses. We ordered the Pepper Chicken Curry, Kozhi Varutha Curry, and Chicken Tikka Masala. The Pepper Chicken Curry was not very flavourful, but the Chicken Tikka Masala was rich, thick, and easily the stand out dish. The restaurant focused on the small details too. The walls featured beautiful wooden boat sculptures and other artwork that added character to the space. The toilets looked newly refurbished and super modern but were not the best in terms of cleanliness. We would definitely return. The atmosphere was great, the food was well-executed, and the service was friendly. Rating: 4.9 out of 6 Six Poppadoms Please #6PP

Come in on a Wednesday evening so lovely and quiet. After reading a few one star reviews and hoping to see any of this in practice. On entering I found it closes at 21:30. A previous review was insulted by them not being let in after 21:30. Secondly I had seen the CCTV cameras in the resteraunt, responses from the resteraunt claiming they have looked into CCTV when people have raised complaints. We waited less than 15-20 minutes for food and was asked if all was good on one occasion leaving us very satisfied not being disturbed. The waiter was very calm and approachable and during conversation had given some education on the difference of the food they prepare here being different from most other places people order from in UK. The food in itself was beautiful. I ordered food I have not tried before so I would not have anything to compare and to be honest I have not regretted it. We will definitely eat here again. Fantastic environment Amazing food Prices are spot on. We definitely got quality. Clearly you can see that they value and investigate all feedback given to them including online.

Really Authentic indian food, perfect level of spice and the garlic naan was unrealll

Really authentic Indian food and lovely atmosphere

A cozy establishment with a soulful atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy excellent food.

Very good Indian food. Good hospitality. Service was very great . Food was yummy . Very great dine in place .

Fish curry and prawn curry with aapam is a must try. 11/10

Authentic taste Good atmosphere

We highly recommend this restaurant! They serve delicious food at affordable prices. The location is great, the space is open and comfortable, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The staff is incredibly friendly, checking in to see if everything tastes good, and the food is served quickly. We went there this evening as a couple, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended from the bottom of our hearts! 10/10.

First visit & impressed with taste, quality & quantity.Service is excellent.Must visit maidstones best Indian restaurant.

Amazing! Super delicious, authentic Thali

Great food and service at affordable price

A lovely India meal, different flavours and menu choices but amazing flavours.

First visit to the restaurant, definitely won’t be our last. Service and food was exceptional…I highly recommend the chicken lollipop for a starter. For mains we had prawn masala plus sides…delicious 😋

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The ambiance is so good felt like having dinner back home.🥰

Very delicious vegetarian food.

I recently dined at Mallu’s and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely fantastic — each dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. I had the podhi paratha, which was rich and well-seasoned, with a perfect balance of textures. The garlic naan with kozhi varutha curry was equally impressive, with fresh ingredients that really stood out. The presentation of every dish was elegant, making the experience feel even more special.

I recently visited mallus restaurant at maidstone and I’m still thinking about the meal! The food was absolutely delicious — you can tell the chefs really know their craft. I had the beef roast and with kerala paratha and appam lamb chops as a strater it was perfectly cooked, with rich, vibrant flavors that had me savoring every bite was equally impressive, with unique seasoning that brought out the best in each ingredient. Every dish was thoughtfully presented and tasted as good as it looked. What really elevated the experience, however, was the service. The staff was attentive and made sure we felt welcome from the moment we stepped in. They were knowledgeable about the menu, offered great suggestions, and checked in on us regularly without interrupting our meal. You could tell they were passionate about providing great service. If you're looking for a place with not only exceptional food but also stellar service, mallus restaurant is definitely the spot. I can’t wait to go back!

Food was absolutely delicious. Not long waiting times, absolutely loved it. Wasn't very busy so atmosphere was still, but nice when you want a catch up with friends and you can hear yourselves talk. 5 stars.

Birthday meal for a mixed white and (north) Indian family - we (7) lapped up a range of intensely wonderful Kerala specials, moreish sides and smooth beverages and desserts. I'm immensely proud for Kerala and south India to be put on the map in Maidstone! Thank you for making our day x

Very delicious meal with friends and very reasonably priced. It was very busy so we did wait for a while to be served and for our food to come. Wouldn’t have been an issue if our poppadoms came out before the meal but they were overlooked. Overall though very good experience and would recommend and will be visiting again!

Food was amazing and great service

Quiet, peaceful restaurant. Southern Indian cuisine, really good food, recommend. 10/10

Very friendly and professional service. Meals are very tasty. Menu is wide and prices are very affordable. We got starter, main and dessert for 25£ pp which is very good. Wholeheartedly recommend

We had a wonderful experience.. enjoyed some authentic Kerala cuisine. Non Veg Thali and Beef Ularthu was fantastic !

Great food and polite service. Good experience all around, no complaints at all. I would recommend this to anyone looking for Indian food in Maidstone.
