Best Indian Restaurants in Penang

Written by Updated ago

Malaysia is blessed with multicultural food from races like Malay, Chinese and to Indian. Indian cuisine is rare but extremely valued when it comes to old traditional recipes. What makes them so delicious is their heavy base flavours and aromatic spices. Many Indian eateries in Penang are usually the typical mamaks best suited for Yumcha (drinking tea) sessions.

    If you are looking for the taste and experience of Little India, Sri Ananda Bahwan is the place to go! Among their many Southern and Northern dishes served, they are particularly well known for their Banana Leaf Rice. Their curry is especially tantalizing when poured and mix all over the rice - in local term, we call it 'banjir'.
    Tips

    The Banana Leaf Rice goes well with papadam. It's also free-flow so help yourself!

    Things to expect

    Curry-loving Indian eatery.

    Karaikudi RestaurantPork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21Alco free 9fb1f2c65edc2c1eaf4e8b24402d108dd33cc2bc71f0fb0022a54c3c390a66c8

    Karaikudi is commonly ordinary from the outside but extraordinarily different on the inside. For one, they are actually one of the rare Indian eateries to be heavily decorated with posh furniture and interior - which is said to be imported all the way from India. This restaurant also offers a wide range of north and south Indian dishes, while many of them are vegetarian-friendly. The dishes are also surprisingly not as oily as often in typical Indian restaurants. Great for health-conscious eaters who are craving for a little Indian food!
    Tips

    The Vege Set Lunch is a little pricey but definitely worth your money.

    Things to expect

    Reasonable eatery with really impressive decor.

    Woodlands Vegetarian RestaurantPork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21Alco free 9fb1f2c65edc2c1eaf4e8b24402d108dd33cc2bc71f0fb0022a54c3c390a66c8Vegetarian 3558887a3b6cba0a056731a75a58da9ed8fc37fa9c1b050a22dec8240b1e6643

    Woodlands is a geniune and authentic Indian eatery that serves purely vegetarian food alone. Even if you're not too fond on meatless meals, the flavours of the dishes will prove you otherwise, such as the curd rice served with chapati. There are also many other cute side snacks to fill your tummy like the Samosas and Fried Mushrooms. One of the best parts is their lunch set meals as they can go as low as RM4!
    Tips

    Check the menu carefully - some items are only available for lunch and some only for tea.

    Things to expect

    True vegetarian restaurant.

    Also known somewhat as Bite N Eat to non-Indian locals, Dindigul Briyani is a local eatery serving Indian cuisine in a friendly and clean environment. It's easy to spot with its bright neon signboard and noticeable outdoor grill. To order, you can look through a menu tablet, which includes photos of their food item. Portions are relatively big and definitely a good value for money.
    Tips

    Ask for their dahl.
