Amazing restaurant ! The food is tasty and really delicious, furthermore it is presented in a very nice way. The service is really great. All in all this was a really great experience!

Penang food is the best, & the secret for most dishes is in the sauces. When we started eating the roti jala dipped in curry sauce here it was immediately apparent that we'd come to a special place!

Lemuni rice with curry chicken , Briyani with chicken masala , Bamieh .

Silene Lim

It's a modern take on Jawi Peranakan, with better presentation and more friendly to the western palate. Good nonetheless.

Ana de la Peña

Best place in the world ever. Try any dish with lamb .

Mangga kerabu, chicken nasi briyani , raita , fish curry , papadom all yummylicious! Plus nutmeg drink....

This is a restaurant cum art gallery located in the Unesco heritage area, selling traditional "anak mami" dishes...

Mekcha

The rice portion is a lot. Can feed up to 2 people per dish.

When I saw the Jawi Batmieh we ordered, my first reaction was that it looked uninspiring and overpriced. After finishing the bowl clean , I knew I would easily order it again. Inspired, clever dish.

Jerome Canlas

Biryani with Beef Masala or the Jawi Bamieh are highly recommended.

Mikael Miolin

Great local food. Beautiful house. Visit the gallery on the upper floor.

Awful breakfast , very bad service

Sandy Weirdo

Безумно вкусная еда! Понравился рис с рендангом — тушеной говядиной . Чай масала вкусный! На двоих — RM68. Хорошее обслуживание : внимательное, но не надоедливое! Спасибо официантке за воду от остроты!
