Beyond the ordinary

At The Malabar Coast, our journey is built on tradition, passion, and the spirit of reinvention. We started as Dewan-E-Am Caterham, a beloved local restaurant known for its authentic Indian dishes, rich with spices, tradition, and heart. Over the years, our loyal customers became family, and we became part of the fabric of the Caterham community.
Today, we honour that legacy while stepping into a vibrant new chapter. With a fresh new look and a bold, diverse menu, The Malabar Coast brings together the best of Kerala’s traditional cuisine, mouth-watering pizzas, crispy fried chicken, and much more — all served with the same warm hospitality you’ve always loved.

Our Story

Food has always been our passion, and serving the community has always been our pride. At Dewan-E-Am Caterham, located at 188 Coulsdon Road, we earned a reputation for crafting unforgettable Indian flavours — from fragrant curries to smoky tandoori specialities, all prepared with fresh ingredients and timeless techniques.
As the world and tastes around us evolved, we saw an opportunity to grow too.
Now, as The Malabar Coast, we offer an even wider variety of food experiences — blending the rich, spicy, coconut-laced dishes of Kerala with crowd-pleasers like handcrafted pizzas, juicy fried chicken, and fusion bites.
Our newly added full-service bar now brings an exciting range of choices: from chilled beers and fine wines to creative cocktails, mocktails, fresh juices, Kerala’s famous masala chai, soothing mango lassis, and more. Whether you're craving a hearty meal, a quick snack, or a refreshing drink, you'll find it all under our welcoming roof.
