Queue seemed quite long when we arrived around 2.30 pm but we only waited about 20 minutes. I think they should have more signage to tell customers what to do so the process can be easier. There was only one waiter upstairs in the seating area so it was quite difficult to get his attention. Food is definitely delicious but seems quite expensive to me, for example I got 3 pieces of beef rendang which cost Rm12 and one piece of fried chicken was Rm8. Lamb shank (Rm 45) and big squid (Rm 30) were standouts for me. Enjoyable, tasty lunch but expect to pay quite a bit for it.

Very delicious beriyani with union chicken. Only that we didn't know the cucumber salad was included in the set, so we added lady fingers...What a big portion to eat ! Will come again next time. May be u can order 2 plates for 3 persons.

I personally think it’s not worth to try their nasi kandar. Overated and the taste are not worth with price. Arrogant staff and easily trick customer with putting non chosen food in our plate. Have to be very careful. You can get more tasty nasi kandar other than Hameediyah with convenient price. Highly not recommended.

I visit last 2 weeks ago because of the review. The dish is super nice. The staff and bos are friendly. I took kambing, vegetable, and fried chicken (anyway the chicken is cold, if they fried and served immediately is the best) Must ask them to mix up all the sauce in the dish for you. It is super nice!

Nasi Putih Ayam Kambing Bawang Kambing Mysore Mango Lassi Hameediyah 📍164, Lebuh Campbell, George Town, 10100 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia 🍜 Food wise: Very tender mutton chunks, the taste of mutton was so good, juicy, sweet, spicy, succulent and it doesn't give off the stench of mutton. They came in large chunks, one mouthful of it, one can feel the bliss. The chicken thigh was tender, it has crispy skin and the onions added a fragrance to the chicken, so delicious! The rice is drenched generously with a mix of sauces, some of them were quite spicy. Overall savoury but not too salty, each of that beautiful gravy tasted slightly different, so it is good to try them all! Mango lassi was thick, creamy, and not too sweet, perfect to wash all the spices down! Initially, one was worried that it comes in small coffee cups, but it came in a slightly larger cup. ✨ Ambience wise: Busy place! But one can go to the second floor where it is more chill and cooling to eat at. 🤵🏻 Service wise: Great! 💵 Price wise: Nasi Putih: 1.70 RM Ayam Kambing Bawang: 12 RM Kambing Mysore: 15 RM Mango Lassi: 6 RM

The most things I hate is extremely spicy, over price and bad hygiene, they had it all. If the king wast not here before I will not going to step inside this shop. One of the worker here didn't wear mask. The only nice was briyani rice and farm chicken curry. The beef rendang extremely spicy. Food 1-10 Drinks 1-10 Service 3-10 Hygiene 1-10 Prices over charge and expensive Vomit the entire thing out. And stomach pain 😠😠😠 Update 10/10/21 Give second chance order from grab food I promise I am not gonna visit and buy any food from here again. Undercooked veggie, the insane spicy still there. And the beef rendang extremely spicy.

Believe the hype. Crazy queue on a Sunday lunch time. Awesome selection of food with excellent flavour. Would definitely return. They need to improve on their toilets though. Quite pricey if you order seafood. Expect to pay about 60RM per person

Came here on 17/10 around 3pm. Gosh, massive queue of 45minutes in hot sweaty weather! Be sure to practise DISTANCING bcs the guy incharged of the entrance is paranoid & can get rude with u if u dont BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST FINED RM10K the day before due to a high number of patrons & lack sop. 👍🏻Pro tip 1: order food ahead via grab pickup, then just datang sini, take yr order & terus masuk dlm cari table hehe..... However, abang2 grab & panda will also be standing outside waiting for their orders..so u might still need to wait, but def not mad long as those stand-queing. 👍🏻Pro tip 2: Tables inside the shoplot beside (aircond) is awfully packed & enclosed. If u prefer less crowd & good ventilation due to covid, id recommend sitting upstairs (at the main shoplot where u choose your dishes). There’s a narrow hidden stairway leading up. Be caution that stairway is steep & narrow & restaurant staff rushing up & down.. so might not be suitable for the elderly. It is not airconditioned but windows are widely opened so has good ventilation & can be breezy. Taste: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ A standard taste of nasi kandar. Nothing memorable but its was averagely ok. Hygiene: ⭐️ The guy making the murtabak (in pic) didnt practise proper ways of wearing a mask! The guy controlling the front entrance was seen touching people’s phones to check on their my sejahtera & then after, proceeded to pack the cooked murtabak (again with his bare hands) 🥴🤮 Theres nothing wrong wt cooking/handling food using barehands.. an asian thing.. but only if u practise STRICT HYGIENE. Do u know how many germs are there on phones? Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ $Value: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ We came in a family of 5 adults. Each ordered rice + 2/3 dishes + a drink. Total was RM110, so per pax averagely costed abt RM20.

Look no further! This places has some of the best local food in town! No matter day or night this place is always packed with exciting customers who are eager to try the the dishes for the first time or repeat customers who knows this is a hidden gym in Georgetown.

One of the best nasi kandar in Penang! With its long heritage of over a hundred years, it certainly lives up to its reputation. We ordered takeaway and had it in our hotel as we are still full but we can’t resist the temptation when we walked past this restaurant. The aroma from the chef cooking the murtabak at the entrance of the restaurant is so rich and it makes passerby glance into the shop whenever they walk past. Inside is the main highlight which is the Nasi kandar. A wide variety display of dishes ranging from different types of chicken, seafood and vegetables are shown and you can pick whatever you like. The chef will drizzle different types of curries on the rice which enhances the taste of the rice perfectly. We ordered 2 types of chicken in curry and fried style, 2 forms of egg which is salted and another fried, one vegetable, half portion of a octopus and 1 tiger prawn. As you can see from the pictures, the tiger prawn is humongous and extremely fresh that I feel like I can taste the ocean. The octopus is fried in a unique style that consists of different spices. The taste of ginger, raisins, some nuts and many others in the spice is just perfect and complements the octopus really well. The whole mixture of different ingredients, curries and rice just hit all the right notes on my tastebud and tummy. It’s slightly pricey because of the seafood but definitely worth it! They do display their prices on a board on the wall inside the restaurant therefore please take a look at it. We will certainly return and have their Nasi kandar again! Please note that most of the time there’s a long queue for their Nasi kandar. The queue certainly can prove that the food is delicious. Therefore please be prepared to wait if you want to savour a taste of this delicious meal. Highly recommended for everyone!

Lot of people coming here, maybe because this is one of the most famous Nasi Kandar and also the oldest one in Malaysia. The staff very fast, very helpful, the price bit pricey compared to other Nasi Kandar. For me, personally, the kuah campur is kinda spicy. I buy 1 portion for 2 people, they have big portion and big chicken, worth to try!

Read so much about this place. Have to try it. Surprisingly short queue at about 7pm considering the popularity. Quite systematic. Pick choice of food, prices on the board, items taken entered into the computer, then bring over to the counter to pay. Dinning tables a few doors away where drinks are selected and paid. At RM50.50 for nasi bryani, mutton curry and 2 pieces of sotong, it is rather pricey. The spices, flavour and portion of the food is undeniably good though. Not a regular of nasi kandar. No sure how it is compared to other places though. Service is efficient.

Went to this place after consulting my Penang friend. We went there after maghrib and there's a long Q outside. But we didn't have to wait very long and after less than 15 minutes we get to order it We had lamb shank, chicken and huge squid to go with the biryani. The "kuah" is authentic, when you had nasi kandar make sure to get "kuah campur" (mixed gravy) to go with the rice. The giant squid is a bit chewy (nature of that huge squid maybe). Other than that everything else is superb. Service is tip top and the place is clean. Highly recommended.

Top notch food. I had to queue for slightly more than 1 hour. It was a weekend, so it is expected to be crowded. The food was excellent. I had rice, chicken, kuah campur and 3 large prawns. The total bill was slightly more than RM100 for 3 pax. The price was expected with amount of food we had and it was worth it. Definitely would recommend to all nasi kandar lovers.

As an indulgence, once in a while, don't mind the long queue and price as a rice dish. Taste is always as expected (heavy) but will always pick them for the variety they offer. Can't complain and will drop by, once in a while.

Had to wait for an hour. Understandable if the restaurant was full. When we finally were allowed in, made our order and led to the upstairs dining area, it turned out that there were a few tables that were vacant. There was obviously a lack of communication between the staff at the upstairs dining area and those downstairs who were managing the diners coming in. The food - we had biryani ayam madu with squid egg and fish egg and okra - was great! But made me sleepy for the rest of the day. 😅

It was super crowded when I visited this restaurant, had to stay in line outside the restaurant for 15 minute to get to order. The staff was quite nice and some is really friendly and serve with smile, but some is just serve you with flat face. But the food, is really really great, in line with their reputation, and the portion was so big. So if you eat not that much, I suggest to order just 1 portion and share it with a friend, just like me and my friend did. If you wanna go to this restaurant, avoid breakfast, lunch and dinner time because it will be super crowded. But it really worth the wait. The location is on the side road, so if you use car, it will be difficult to find parking place, especially during the rush hour.

A restaurant worthy of its numerous awards and acolades. It's definitely of the best curries that I've ever had. The queue outside doesn't take that long to get through, then you pick your rice (white, biryani etc.) and add on whatever else you want. I tried the chicken and mutton which were superb, but are a little on the spicy side so be aware. The staff that I spoke to seemed to know some English which made it easy. There's actually two units for this place, just queue up outside the one with a queue where people make their food then after paying go left out of the door a few units away for 2 floors of seating. You buy your drinks from the area with seating. There's areas at the back to wash your hands but avoid the toilets if you can (typical restaurant standard).

Commonly, a queue to get your food. Otherwise Comfortable air conditioned seating place to dine. Ice drinks slightly watered down. Masala tea good stuff.

Love their Goat Rice Bendi Egg (Set E), plus extra chicken thigh. Queue may be long during lunchtime. Cost me RM 18 They accept all card payment, including the not so popular American Express. Choose your food, then someone will give you your total, then pay first at cashier. No AC for dine in.

Long queue and it took us about 1 hour 30 minutes before can get into the restaurant. The nasi with big prawn cost about RM35 and tasted delicious. The ayam goreng however nothing extraordinary compared to Kassim Mustafa. Maybe becoz dehydrated, I've lost my appetite...😟. Can only finished half of my nasi

Long queue but so far I have been to 2 nasi kandar shops and both shops I needed to queue. Waiters could be more hospitable esp the one who was responsible for taking orders for drinks. I had no idea whether he heard us or not. The place was a bit warm even with the air conditioning. No doubt the food tasted good but I feel that it was a bit too sweet which was not to my liking.

The food is not tasty at all. It’s just like another nasi kandar shop. There is nothing to wow. I guess it became famous due to the hype in social media. Chicken was tasteless, tiger prawn was normal, briyani was normal and the chicken seriously was bad. I would suggest to review the flavours. Overall, the food experience extremely poor.

Great food but you will need to line up of course. Get a table upstairs and get someone to line up and order. Best dishes for me were the ayam goreng, beef rendang and sotong. 4 stars because it'd be nice to eat it hot.

Best Murtabak you'll ever taste. This place is simply amazing and for a great price, it's a steal. Don't expect too much in terms of service, it's fast and no fuss, but that's what you want anyways. As for atmosphere, you can see it two ways, either you like it or not. I personally like the vibe of this place, although it is a simple eating place.

Still considered the best nasi kandar in Penang by many. Price is reasonable and the dishes are very tasty and freshly prepared. Be aware though that you can only pick and point your dish selections and then bring your meal across the corridor to their second dining area in a different shop unit. Here is where you order the drinks and fight to secure a seat! One negative point is that this eating area is somewhat dirty as the floors are not being swept as often as it should. Order and pay for your drinks here at the second outlet after lining up in a long line of belly filled adults. And please, don't go into the toilet before consuming your meal or you may decide to forgo it once and for all. Only ONE small cubicle that they call a toilet is available catering many customers having spicy curry and green hot chilli, go figure..!!

Located on Campbell Street which used to be the main shopping street in the 1950s Georgetown, this Nasi kandar (Indian Muslim) destination with >100-years of history has a long list of fans. As for me, the specialty here has always been the murtabak.

I dont know what special about this place. I was curious and excited to try this nasi kandar,, they claimed as best one. there was long queue, which is okay. After i entered the restaurant,, it was hot, messy and dirty. Once i ordered,, i saw lot of dirty tables, spill rice and oil everywhere, tbh changed my appetite. I ordered with few menus, chicken, lamb, beef, veggies and curry. The food was just okay. Lamb was tender, chicken was tasteless, beef was just ok.and we order squid and what made me shocked was THE SQUID ONLY WAS 50RM!! DAMN! the rice and some additional menu on the plate was 48RM. So total was 98RM!!! (On the receipt, they forget to put the squid on the bills. The squid bills is separately and i didnt take picture. If i knew the price was 50RM, i shouldn't tell them that they forget to put it on bills. 😂😂) Tbh, with the restaurant quality and place and hygiene,, i would rather go to fine dining restaurant!!! 😂 First and last.

They say Nasi Kandar is the perfect meal because it's like a buffet in disguise. You start with a plate of rice and think, "Okay, just a few curries." But then you see the array of mouthwatering dishes, and suddenly your plate starts to resemble a colorful mountain range. You end up with a tower of curries that could rival the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But hey, who's counting? As long as you can balance that plate all the way to your table, you've accomplished something truly remarkable! 😁 #penang #nasikandar

This is the best nasi kandar I have eat ! Seriously the best . The rice itself so good . And ayam bawang is the best combo . I went during weekday ( non festive time ) Still crowded but manageable. Service was good , efficient and fast Best thing was : my mummy was vege at that time . We requested fried rice ( vege ) It was so good and they cooked it with good amount of vegetable ( not stingy ) Guess it was rm 7 or 6 Forgot to take the pic .

First time at penang and this guy is rude to people who are standing in line , yes i m aware they are busy , but crowd brings money to spend just for taste. people are following SOP since people are not taking govt's SOP for granted.I was in line for 20 min once its my turn he asks me to stand in line or go back , like come on u dont have to talk to people who are ur customers. I would not recommend this place .

Overrated! The lamb shanks were not to our liking; low quality lamb, spices not to our standard and gravy was too sweet. No more 2nd time for us!

This is an institution. With 5k+ good reviews I need say more but suffice to share a few mouth-watering photos. They are immensely proud & passionate of their food. Pure heritage & quintessential peranakan.

Hameediyah is known for it’s old school nasi kandar food. For me definitely the top 5 Nasi Kandar in the Georgetown area , don’t forget to try their murtabak ayam or daging or even sardin. Simply delicious. 5 Star !

Came before lunchtime. Around 10-11am is a good time, not too crowded. Ordered lamb shank and fried chicken Biryanis. Tasted the richness of the spices all too well. The lamb shank is so rich with spices I feel like it's kind of spicy, even for me who loves spicy food. Fried chicken is perfect though. Parking is quite hard knowing it's Georgetown after all.

Quite a long queue at 4pm on a weekday but the queue moved quite quickly. You buy your food in the main shop and there is space to eat in their other shop a couple doors down. The portions are also very generous. Would highly recommend!

We arrived around 2:15pm and the queue was quite long. However, we waited only for around 15min as queue moved quite fast. The portion as you can see in the picture was just nice for us 4 adults. Only the rice we didn’t finish. All food that we ordered were really delicious! The price also quite affordable. Will definitely come here again next time if we travel to penang.

Clean restaurant, lamb shank is a must try. Parking bit hard to find, queue average timing 15-20 mins. Has dine in available 3-4 doors away or top floor. Roti Murtabak and ayam goreng bawang is average hence 4 🌟. Quite pricely but it's ok when compared with good taste and flavors of the mix curry/spices.

Came in the morning, among the 1st customer of the day. Excellent food and among the best nasik kandaq in town. Limited dining table. However looking for a parking is a disaster.

Worth the 30min wait in line. The food was so rich in flavor, so good. You can choose your kind of rice (they also coffee half portions) and then add as many or litrlw protein, sauce and veggies you'd like.

The dishes and lauk are nice. The curry is superb and wonderful. Price is rather above average. You order in the left shop but eat at the shop on the right side. Definitely will go again.

The oldest Nasi Kandar restaurant in Malaysia. Nasi Kandar is good, murtabak is the great. Have to queue up, but no worries it's worth it. The shop is clean. Dine in upstairs or at the bistro located several doors apart. The lamb shanks curry really is something. Price wise is ok. Definitely will come again, and highly recommended gais Tqverygud

Can't say this is one of the best nasi kandar in Penang since I haven't taste all NK there yet but definitely Hameediyah is worth every ringgit and queuing time. I took a combo of ayam bawang, sotong kari, telur sotong, bendi, telur asin and kuah campur. The kuah campur is on the spicy side, enough to make my scalp sweating. The ayam bawang is excellent, crispy skin and the sauce is sweet. Sotong kari is ok, a little bit chewy. Telur sotong excellent. Price wise, it's ok. Not cheap nor expensive, depend on what you eat. Peace!

Needs better process and crowd control in current MCO period. Nasi biryani + ayam madu was average, nasi putih + ayam goreng could have been a better option. Lamb shank was on the hard side. Having said that, murtabak is to die for and a must try. Totally offset the rest.

Taste ok only. Only outsider make this place hype. Nothing so special and overpriced.

Good food with good price. Curry is thick and generous, and full of spices, bursting my tongue with mouthful flavour. Mutton curry is fresh and the meat was so tender. Teh tarik is so kaw (thick), love it very much. And they do serve with happinesss😙

It has long queue waiting to fill up their stomach, worth the wait as the food is delicious and finger-licking, make sure you get the right curry mix to your meal...

Oldest nasi kandar in Penang and a must try. Amazing lamb shank and curries..a must try!

The best nasi gandar ever.. No matter long q we still craving for their nasi gandar. Love their chicken taste.

We as friends 5 of us went on a roadtrip to Penang and we had to stop by at hameediyah cause it was on our list. We took 2 lamb shank, 1 fried tiger prawn, a spoonful fried sotong and 2 bawang chicken(peha) and it cost us RM174±±. It was an unexpected pricing yet it was pleasing and finger licking good. I had to give 4 star cause of the pricing other then that no regrets. It was a delightful meal!

Murtabak ayam - 10/10 Nasi Brayani - 9/10 prawn curry - 8/10 *rm24 for two prawn* A bit pricey but if you really wanted to try it for once only then that is the price you pay off.

25.11.2023 Portion was enough for two person. We ordered 1 nasi kandar comprising; white steamed rice, 1pc ayam curry, peria crisps and 1 large fried sotong(rm74).Total RM107 incdg 2 glasses of hot water. It was tasty but tonnes of salt/msg/oil were added that left us with increased thirst, headache and probably raised my BP. Staffs were courteous and helpful. Saw them offered chairs and compassion to 2 elderly women while waiting to get a table. Good job. Summary; Taste: 3.75/5, Service: 4/5, Cleanliness: 3/5.

Century-plus old, Penang’s most famous restaurant is as popular as ever, with long lines of hungry locals and visitors seven days a week. Curries are richly blended, aromatic, flavourful, and, especially fresh. Limited seating capacity makes dining uncomfortable, but a meal is best enjoyed there, not a takeout. Worth the patience and hassle.

Although the price is on the steep side, the quality is always there. We had a wonderful dinner and left with our stomach full. Do take note they have two stalls near to each other for different menu.

Still the best mamak dish of the people's choice

Nice foods! I had THE BEST MURTABAK here!!! The taste was so delicious and different! It's just a little bit crowded for me, but I still enjoyed the food!

Overpriced n the taste is just so-so. Dining area is hot, lack of open area. Tips: just choose chicken dish or else the price will be more than rm20 per plate.

Delicious! It’s a must try in Penang but we were told there would be very long queues, but we were so lucky coming in the period of Ramadan so no queues at all! We tried a few things which all goood! Lamp shank with curry, chicken curry on yellow rice as well as spicy fried squid and Chicken Murtakba. At first we thought the food must be cold but it’s not, it’s fresh and delicious. They have the place to sit in in the next building. Staff is nice!

U need to queued up for at least 20mins before u can choose what to eat..but don't worry they have a lot of space for dine in..

The best nasi kandar ever in penang!!! Seriously very worth for every bite. The curry is very rich with spices and tasteful. Not so expensive approximately Rm17 per person. The restaurant is very clean to eat, I almost waited in line for 15min only, The queue clear very fast. Definitely will come again and very recommended!!! Memang Suuurrrr!!!

A great restaurant although I haven't been here before, but I always order from them online. The murtabak is the best. Nasi daging is too spicy but still 👍.

long queue as usual. waited 50 min as we came exactly at lunch hour. their mix curry really tasty. Worth for the wait

Indeed it’s a must try! Yummy x10.. price is reasonable because we ordered lamb and squid so slightly pricey. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. Restaurant is comfortable and clean in air conditioned environment

If you don't have a problem to stand in a long queue. Then you might go back home with stomach full of delicious nasi kandar.
