The best Malaysian restaurants Georgetown

As soon as you step through the door, the magnificent tiled floor and wooden decor transport you to a bygone era filled with nostalgia. The aromas wafting through the room announce the color of the menu, which offers all the specialties of Nyonya cuisine. You'll feel right at home, and the food couldn't be tastier or more authentic. To top it all off, the service is fast and friendly. On the other hand, we recommend booking in advance, as this is a well-known address and the place tends to fill up fast.

A traditional restaurant serving Malaysian and Thai cuisine, located in a pretty shophouse on a corner of the city center. The menu is simple, but the chef has mastered the classics and prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is tranquil and family-friendly, and the covered terrace overlooks the street. We recommend their Nasi Goreng (fried rice) and seafood noodles. Takeaways are also available, including their famous Satay Wrap. The second floor can be reserved for groups. Great value for money.

Founded in 1907 by the Hameediyah family in a small shophouse with a yellow-and-green frontage on the famous Campbell Street, this simple, popular restaurant has been serving the must-try recipes of local cuisine for decades. The most popular recipes are Nasi Kandar, Penang's star dish, which is not to be missed, and Murtabak, which can also be taken to go. Simple, authentic, spicy cuisine in a no-frills setting. Although the dining room is large, the queue can be long at lunchtime.
