September 2021: A note on the Malabar website says they have to close, but hope to re-open again soon; watch this space for news.

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

We’re hoping against hope that this age-old Indian stalwart, tucked away near Notting Hill, reopens post-pandemic (it’s still ‘temporarily closed’ as of September 2021, although its website says: ‘we hope to reopen’). Still decorated like the Italian premises it inherited over 30 years ago, it pioneered a new look for sub-continental restaurants, its menu was consistently excellent and few eateries of any type can match its performance over the decades.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
