Penang Indian Restaurants and Food

[dirtydog]

Kedai Kopi Yasmeen is I think the name of this place on the corner of Chulia Street and Penang Road, bit scruffy like most of the places in Georgetown and also doesn't sell beer, probably Muslims or something like that.

I know there are other threads on this forum with this exact same restaurant on, but I really don't think a forum can ever have too much on it about lovely Indian food

As you can see in this picture, they have gallons and gallons of different curries.



My chicken curry with yellow rice, yep half a chicken so there aint no hunting for bits of meat, whole lot with soft drink came to about 7 Ringgit.

It's been several years, but Penang Indian food is great.
For about five weeks, my staple lunch was roti and a vegetable curry at a little shack place in Batu ferringhi. Night time, would vary. Washed down with guinness.

This place is the best! Thanks, DD.

I was going to ride down for the moto gp this month. I think now I'll just hop a plane to Penang and indulge my taste buds! yumm!

Same restaurant on Penang Road, yeah the cheap one not Passage thru India, but an inside view of the cafe.

THE best Indian rest. in the world is the Kashmir in the basement of the old hotel Penang. Been there for years and run by the same family for generations.

Don't recall the street name but its across from the Novatel and down the street a couple of meters towards the V intersection.

Worth a look for anyone in the area that loves Indian food.

EDIT: location Kashmir Restaurant - Location Map

I have to agree about the Kashmir, it's on the corner of Penang Road and Leith Street.

This place is on Leith Street and was never open when I went past last week, says they got the best Tandoori, the place looked brand new but the sign says it has been open since March, anyway I didn't see it open

Now THAT is a quality Indian restaurant, best in the region in my opinion.

Respectfully disagree, Dant. Trendy but the food was third class.

You seem to be under the impression that your post here is worthy of allowing you to put a link in, cant see why myself.

[Happyman]

Passage Through India have a branch in KL - that was good!
Also in Bangsar there is a restaurant run by a Sikh community group.
All the staff are Sikh mom and pop types and change every day .
The moms do the cooking and the pops are the waiters.
No Menu just what mom wants to cook that night - its is REAL home cooking and bloody great!.
No price list either - you just make a donation to the group ! ( based on how much you enjoyed the meal )
We had some wild evenings there- draft Guiness and some whiskey at reasonable prices as well.

ever go there E.G ? That crazy bugger Dilsher and sidekick Carol were the people to go with!!! LOL

Delete that last sentence Replace with - Our legal director and his deputy were good company there !

This place in an Indian and Western food restaurant, I tried to keep away from my normal Indian place and was going to try some Western food, I thought I could do a few days without an Indian, I was wrong, spent most of my time in Little India, damn they got some good food there, anyway this place is open 24 hours and is on Chulia Street.



Look at the choice of curries, how could I order beans on toast.



Not really into all this stainless furniture.



I plonked the chicken into the rice dish for an easy picture

[dirtydog]

Just thought I should mention this, the Tai Wah Cafe on Chulia Street isn't a cafe and doesn't serve food anymore, just sells beer and drinks, so don't waste your time there waiting for a menu like wot I did

[dirtydog]

Down the little alley way beside the Kedai Kopi Yasmeen I always thought was a small market as it was always packed solid, it's actually just a couple of Indian food stalls, loads of tables and this was the only time I saw that it wasn't packed solid.



The Indian Roti stall.



Anyway I went into the Kedai Kopi Yasmeen and had a chicken curry for a change.
