The people of Kerala, located at the southern tip of India, have a rich history shaped by trade and colonial influences, resulting in a diverse and unique culinary tradition. Over centuries, the blending of Arabian, Portuguese, and local Dravidian ingredients has given rise to the distinctive Kerala cuisine known for its complex spice blends and coconut-based dishes. At Malabari Shack, we celebrate this deep heritage by using traditional recipes and the finest ingredients, offering you a taste of kerala with every dish.
Malabari Shack celebrates the rich culinary traditions of Kerala, a state in southern India known for its diverse flavors and aromatic spices. Our dishes reflect the vibrant coastal life, heavily influenced by the Malabar Coast's historical trade routes which brought in a variety of spices and cooking techniques. Keralan cuisine is characterized by the liberal use of coconut, tamarind, and curry leaves, with seafood playing a prominent role in our menu. From the spicy and tangy Fish Curry to the subtly flavored Coconut Rice, each dish is a testament to the region's lush landscape and rich cultural heritage. At Malabari Shack, we embrace these traditional recipes, enhancing them with the freshest ingredients to bring you a truly authentic dining experience that transcends time and borders.

“We celebrated a birthday dinner at Malabar Shack in downtown Saskatoon, and it was a delightful experience. We savored the starter platter, exceptional Fish Moilee, Malabar Parotta, and the Jackfruit and Prawn Curry. Surprisingly, it was quite peaceful for a Friday night, and I hope this review brings them more patrons. Highly recommend visiting for a taste of authentic Kerala cuisine.”
