[2025 Northeast Penang Island Restaurant] Travel Guide for Hameediyah Restaurant (Updated Feb)

#citydaytours I stumbled upon Hameediyah Restaurant while exploring the vibrant streets of George Town. The restaurant’s quaint, old-world charm instantly caught my eye. As I learned it was over a century old, I knew I had to give it a try. Stepping inside, I was transported back in time. The rustic decor and warm atmosphere created a cozy and inviting ambiance. The air was filled with the tantalizing aroma of spices and simmering curries. I decided to start with a classic murtabak, a savory pancake filled with minced meat and spices. It was absolutely delicious, with a crispy exterior and a flavorful interior. For my main course, I couldn’t resist trying the chicken briyani, a fragrant rice dish layered with tender chicken and aromatic spices. It was a feast for my senses, with every bite bursting with flavor. To finish off my meal, I indulged in a sweet roti jala, a delicate lace-like pancake served with a creamy coconut milk gravy. It was the perfect ending to a truly memorable dining experience. Hameediyah Restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it's a piece of George Town's history. The restaurant's commitment to preserving its heritage while offering delicious food is truly commendable. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend visiting Hameediyah and experiencing the magic of this century-old culinary gem. #HameediyahRestaurant #GeorgeTownFood #PenangFoodie #IndianCuisine #AuthenticIndian #Foodie #FoodReview #MustTry #LocalDelicacies #CulinaryHeritage

Hameediyah Restaurant is a very famous Indian Muslim restaurant which established since 1907. They have several outlets in Penang Island and Klang Valley. The outlet which i went to is located on Lebuh Campbell, George Town, Penang. Featuring Nasi kandar, a cusine originated from Penang, basically is the Indian-Muslim version of ‘mixed rice’ or ‘curry rice’, rice served with various curries and awesome dishes. Their pricing is a bit steep but portion is relatively huge. However, the dishes are literally delicious and rich of spices, it's a special experience for taste buds.
