Very busy and decent traditional Indian restaurant. I ordered the prawns for appetizer, which was…read moreuniquely prepared in a dark and spicy sauce and served in a small banana leaf wrap. I like it! Plus the Chicken Biryani that took over 20min to prepare as stated on the menu. But it was tasty and served in a deep dish baked in the oven covered with what appeared to be more like. Pita bread rather than an Indian Naan. This was just ok for me. The service was also good given that the place was really jammed up full until out 8pm. I sort got lucky to get seated right away without a reservation.

Excellent Indian food!…read more I had the Beef Vindaloo (as I love spicy food). It was good and spicy all by itself. However, I also asked for some extra hot sauce. Which I really recommend to use very sparingly. It was hot as hell, and sooo good. My boyfriend had the Lamm Biryani and said "this is one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life." All was scarfed down with a few portions of Garlic Naan (which I would happily eat every day). Malabar is just further proof of the fact that Oerlikon has amazing restaurants!

We got the Indian salad, raita, Pakistani lamb curry (Karachi), fish curry and black lentil daal. The food was rich, nicely seasoned, and classic North Indian/Pakistani. We were asked about the level of spiciness (we went with medium). We believe we were the only non-locals in the area. The garlic naan was not overly oily and was freshly made. One of us was celebrating a birthday and for dessert we had rice pudding and they brought out a surprise birthday cake, which we had not ordered before showing up and which was absolutely perfect for the occasion. We could not have picked a more special place to celebrate and would be delighted to dine here again.

We were craving some Indian food during our trip to Luzerne. So decided to try this place as it was…read morea 5 minute walk from our hotel. This restaurant is conveniently located very close to the Chapel Bridge. The servers were quite friendly and kept checking on us. The service was fast. The prices are high, but that's expected in Luzerne. The food is ok. Not very good and not bad. The flavors were there, but didn't taste like authentic Indian food. But filled our cravings in Luzerne. Here is what we got: - Paneer Masala: decent. This was for my son and he enjoyed it. I told them to make it mild for him. - Malai Kofta: this was ok. Too much tomato sauce in it. The traditional dish shouldn't taste this tomato-y. Lacked the authentic taste. - Lachcha Paratha: this was good. Wish it was a bit softer. Overall, not a bad place for some Indian food. Just be prepared to pay a steep price, but that's true for everywhere in Luzerne.

Quantity was adequate for sharing but not generous (standard EU serving size). Workers spoke good English and service was prompt. The place was clean and adequately comfortable. The chicken madras was ordered extra spicy (was listed as a standard spicy dish as a baseline) and came not very spicy (a dried pepper was on top-maybe that was the extra spicy part) and the flavor was just OK (3 stars), the naan bread was good (as good as any I've had but a little more oily than any I've had be 4 stars). The samosas was crispy and tasty but not special-just good (3 stars). The rice was abysmal (1 star). I suspect it was day old and reheated or perhaps just poorly cooked; I mean it was under/uncooked and even for basmati rice was so dry as to be nearly unpalatable which impacts the dish as a whole. The area is pricy and the prices here were consistent with the area (not unfair). I would not go back tho.
