If you want to learn a little of India's culture, then this is the place. Also, in the mornings there are people selling foods. I particularly love the samosas here, you can find it in Lebuh king alley. It is the best samosa I have tried in Malaysia. THE BEST!!

The place also known as Market street. There are variety shops. The Indian Muslim Restaurant that serves chicken Briani, prata etc. Notice mNy herbs shops as well. Great place for shopping traditional Indian clothing like saree or kurta. Normally during Diwali the place really crowded. If you in Penang you should stop by.

In the golden eve, I strolled through the street, Penang's Little India, a cultural treat. Colors danced around, vibrant and bright, A symphony of sights, a mesmerizing sight. The aroma of spices filled the air, Aromatic secrets, stories to share. I wandered through stalls, a treasure trove, Hues of silk, bangles that spoke of love. Temples adorned with intricate art, A sacred aura that touched my heart. Devotees' prayers, a harmonious song, In this sacred haven, I belong. A feast for senses, every step I take, From savory delights to sweets to partake. Dazzling lights and music's sweet embrace, In this enchanting world, I found my place. As twilight descended, my heart felt complete, In Penang's Little India, a memory sweet. I'll cherish this night, forever it'll shine, A magical journey, this soul of mine.

If Penang itself is like stepping back in time, then Penang Little India is like stepping into another continent altogether. All you need to do is turn the corner and bang, you are suddenly surrounded by colour, food, music, moustaches, incense, garlands of flowers, and a slower pace. Hire a driver to bike you around in comfort.

Ambience looks cozy but can be improved with better ventilation & air condition. Cleanliness of the table n chairs needs to improved.Waiting period was too long. Chicken briyani & chatti rice taste good. Its more like a homemade cooking. However the Chili chicken was not up to expected taste, way too sweet.

Always a secret vendor selling illegal fireworks during Chinese New Year. Find the stall through several convoluted directions by Indian shopkeepers, intended to confound any undercover official. No pain, no gain. Along the Main Street are the traditional money changers who have varying quotes, the best rate is always found somewhere in between.

What not to love about Little India? This is our first night walk through Little India. Most of the shops close at about 10pm. Don't forget to try the bubur kacang. It's been in the business since 1946. It's a 5mins walk from where we were staying in Lebuh Chulia, so parking was not an issue. But during other times if we came to Penang and checked in else where, we'd only drop by if there's parking. Great experience of Indian culture - from food, clothing, jewellery, accessories, prayer items and many more. We usually come here for the food, while the girls shop for henna and accessories. Don't forget to try almond milk and herbal tea. Since this is our first time visiting the place at night : Pros - not as hot as in the day time. Cons - many shops were about to close.

Little is a amazing place one of the best street food can get in evening like a India only,

Little India in Penang is like a vibrant tapestry of colors and flavors. The streets are alive with the scent of spices, and you'll find a friendly community ready to welcome you with open arms. It's a cultural treasure trove where you can savor delicious Indian cuisine and experience the magic of festivals like Diwali. For expats, it's a lively and heartwarming slice of home in a foreign land.

One of the fascinating sides of Georgetown is its multiculturalism and walking in the small neighborhood of Little India immerses us precisely in another world. Chrysanthemum spiders delicately dressed in colorful necklaces, many restaurants that will attract you by the flavors that emanate from the kitchen, let yourself be tempted by some Samosas, Tandoori with Naan, a creamy and fragrant Lassi-Mango, strolling through the streets animated by Indian music and much cleaner than in India.

It was nice spending time over there. Witnessing the colourful atmosphere. Getting to taste delicious Indian cuisine. Buying traditional outfits from a wide range of choices. Only downside, it's difficult to get parking in a such a compact place. And, most of the time, the place is crowded.

Anything Indian is available here. Plenty of beautiful textiles and street food. A nice place to have an evening walk.

Why flying far away, if India is next door? Food, teas, fragrances, lovely people are all here! Nice mood and scenery

As Deepavali approaching soon Penang little India is really crowded with people. It's adviceable that you plan your shopping schedule.

Nice setting, food taste OK, chefs were previously from G-Hotel. The only concern is the staff do not wear their masks properly, and the manage didn't even put on a mask

Most famous and notable shopping spot of Indians. This place is a place for Indians to buy stuffs for their commercial and cultural activities. Becomes more lively during Indian festival times.

Nice place to get India Products and best Indian food's to explore

It's nice to see different culture in our country 😊.....very easy becouse u can get all things at 1 place..... Especially street Indian food 👌🏻.....only 1 problem with the parking....

Good for indian and Pakistani people. You can buy spices, clothes and other sub continental items. But I found prices are little high. But this place is good for visit.

excellent colourful indian 🙏

Colourful area with lots to see, smell and eat....catering to all taste buds!

Full fledged and happening place... all stores open back with covid SOP compliance..

Most shops are still closed due to pkp..otherwise itz fine...

Famous place in the island and best things to buy

Offcourse all the south Indian fashion clothing, jewelry , artificial jewelry, restaurant and grocery stores available here, best place in penang where you will get all the Indian products

We got there quite late, around 8pm, on a Saturday. Some of the shops already started to close, but there were plenty of people, motorcycles, and cars converging on the same single road. A hazard. We had to keep an eye out for vehicles rather than what the shops were selling. Kinda ruined our shopping experience. In comparison to "little India" in KL, the prices for gifts and souvenirs in Penang seems to be more expensive than KL.

As the name says, Little India is a small location in Penang where Malaysians can get all Indian products imported from India. If you are tired of Malaysia food and would love to try Indian cuisine, Little India would be the best place. Also if you need groceries from India Supermarkets like Jayam, Subham and Revathi are the best place to get them.

We went there during the Deepavali and were shocked to find out most shops were closed. It's a different situation in Singapore. Nevertheless we managed to get a great lunch and some nice pics. A few days later we returned and it was a lovely experience. A slow vibe. Street carts selling vadais. There was a profusion of jewellery, gold-covering jewellery and clothing shops. People are friendly and will give you directions and speak to you if you ask them or engage them in conversation.

This area has a great atmosphere, a feast for the senses with so many amazing sights, sounds and smells. When I went it was full of life, a great place to explore!

Living up to its name "Little India". Shopping and food heaven! If you looking for anything related to indian communities such as clothings, culinaries, snacks, kitchen utensils, groceries etc, this is where you should come. From small humble stalls to restaurants. Everything within walking distance. Only parking is a problem during prak hours and holidays.

LOVE LOVE LOVED it. India is one of my best favorite countries and Little India in Penang Island reminded me of good days in India. I loved the food and nice people and good atmosphere here!

A good walk around and you'll see alot of buildings in disrepair. It spoils the area alot. There's some homeless people who are really old and I felt they should be cared for and not sat in the heat. It has some really good places to eat and a street food place selling really.good food.

Gorgeous temples, very rank smells. I suggest wearing a mask here to protect you from the air here. The open sewers smell particularly foul in this part of the city.

You can get various scrumptious Indian cuisines and Indian groceries.

Nice area , i reccomend umrella street and the markets . Only downside is can become very hot and not alot of shade around. Lots of cafes serving cold drinks to help that

Absolutely love Little India, you forget you are in Malaysia and we were taken back to our travels in India, the smells, the colors and noise. We used the supermarkets to buy products we brought in India, Himalaya toothpaste, spices and insence.

Went on weekdays during school holidays. The main lack here is find a parking. For me it takes hours,( actually took 30min to get the spot) others than that was fantastic. The food the culture and not to mention the weather 🌡️ kinda 🥵. Wear hat or bring umbrella 😝. We're looking for chai tea, nasi kandar imigresen, candy laddu samosa. We bought all of we can😊

Still bustling and happening. But NO dine in....

Well worth a visit, great restaurants and Street food. Even vegitarians catered for. Plenty of original material shops. My wife enjoys looking at and buying Indian stainless bowls and cups.

Please do visit .best time is late morning or early evening.get the chance to taste authentic southern Indian dishes..from fully veg to non veg.second home for Chennai lovers

As a tourist it is great place to have a stroll, try Indian food and snacks and also clothes and jewellery if that interests you. Does get bit crowded at times but it's has a street market kind of appeal. Pic is of a buddhist temple near little India.

It really felt like India. I had a good time there. Would recommend if you're feeling homesick while traveling

Wonderful street food, cipati & curry or samosa snacks and onion bhaji from many vendors. There’s banana leaf thali restaurants and many other shops and places of interest. A great walking, shopping & eating experience.

A hodgepodge of Indian culture! I love all Indian food I have enjoyed here, from hawker stall to restaurants, everything is good. Btw just realised that authentic Indian stalls are definitely different from mamak, it's good to know. There are also some stunning Indian clothes that are truly affordable selling here. (But I'm not sure if it is the cheapest if compared with other places) Can try to buy one or two pieces if you are interested.

Food quite expensive. Not that tasty either. Of course the decor was quite appealing

Interesting region. As the names go, almost every shops sells Indian related commodities. Few good Indian restaurants intermingle with road side stalls. Road is narrow, needs to be very careful when driving.

I love this place nice and friendly peoples nice hospitality services....

Awesome nasi kandar @ tajuddin hussein and lots of local indian cuisine

Penang little India is wonderful place to purchase house item or dresses and more of variety food restaurant jewellery shop and more than

Little India really nice place they got lot of restaurant and groceries shops ,if you likes to eat biryani go ahead

Nostalgic place....nasi kandar is must if you came to Penang Little India.

Nice place to be visited. During deepavali there will be alot of people. Just that very difficult to get free parking and if get also must walk far from free parking area.. Otherwise all good..

Multiple choices of clothing and jewellery.. Good place for Deepavali shopping.. Ask for the price before picking anything.. Again ask for the price before picking anything..

Good n food at Chettiyar Indian Food was nice and reasonable price.

Nice place many restaurants easy to find food.....👍

Amazing place..went to breakfast n have few options of variety of foods.

Food very delicious 🤤 .. Price ok but service slow .. maybe because of mco

A gem in the middle of little India. I could say it's one of the best Nasi Kandar to date..

Basic needs for indian community will definitely fullfilled at this place

Vibrant..colourful..and a feast for the eyes and palate. A multitude of shops selling their goods and food. Prices vary from shop to shop. Parking is difficult due to the narrow and one way streets so on foot/bike is the best way to explore the wonders of Little India. Highly recommended to visitors.

Super crowded place Lack of parking facilties there and nearby. Walking required to make easier to destinations

One of the best Little India around Malaysia, this place maintained the old classic look with the streets. The shops are a little less on variety however it has all the things you regularly want here varying from jewelry to Indian prayers things. Definitely worth a visit if you're dropping by in Penang.

a different side of penang...reminds me much of little india area in singapore..lots of authentic indian dish...colorful and fun for sightseeing

Alot of Indian culture things, dresses and prayers need can get it here. And variety of Indian food can get here. Weekend days , public holiday and festival days will be very crowded and busy . If you wanna try Indian food. This is the best place for you.

first time eat here.... food is awesome..... don't mess the nice food customers

This is actually "little India" in Penang. Shops remind you of Southern part of India and place has so many shops related to Indian clothing and materials related to worshipping. You can get here everything from Groceries, sweets, Indian food, South Indian clothes, cosmetics and what not. Worth visiting. Pro Tip- try bargaining!

Must be there to see the vibrant and colorful clothings, jewelry stores,the smell of wonderful Indian spices at grocers and restaurants ! Better to park and walk as parking is almost impossible within Little India. Lots of glorious food......

A place where one would like to spend his day, exploring around the area.

Ananda Bhawan, food is horrible here, paid RM13 for soy meat curry, dry white rice and uncooked cabbage. Food was totally tasteless. No variety to choose. Totally dissappointed with their horrendous services! Such waste of money! Don't ever go to this place if you want value for your money.

Place is nice for visiting indian culture. There's alot of Indian shop there and restaurants. Also you may find some Indian festivals

Nice rushy place... Parking is difficult to find... You can park on road side before entering to Little India or there are few parking outside it. Good to walk around and do shopping for Indian styling clothes, have Indian food, famous restaurants... We have dinner there.

I was expecting something great because of little India's listings on "top things to do" lists. As I arrived I found a lot of very cheap souvenir stores, plastic jewelry stores & some clothing shops (didn't check quality) after 5 minutes I've been through the street and went on.
