Best Malaysian food ever cooked by the owner with complete passion and care. To dine in you have to make a special arrangement with the restaurant, but they do take aways from 12-4. We went in a group so we dined indoors in an upstairs venue that is nicely decorated. But the food was truly amazing, especially the duck rendang. We had a variety of dishes, curry, satay, ayam, special rice, and the list goes on. They were all absolutely authentic and fabulous. Not one bite was disappointing, and the owner really cares about what she does. Great experience.

5☆ place in town .. I tried their cencaru sumbat set with nasi kunyit, it was amazing, then I had the daging harimau menangis, also superb and i dapau the asam fish, OMG its so good. Next trip out sure dapau home more. Owner Kak Ayu is super friendly and nice and I heard once can dine in, one can actually enjoy her food at Teels which is airconditioned above the Ghee Hiang store.

I think Kak Ayu was too great to not leave a review. I honestly find it difficult to find really good cooked malay cuisines that is not cooked by my mom but Squally did it! We had a special reservation for a group company dinner for around 15 pax and everything was honestly great. The service was 💯and you can really tell Kak Ayu loves what she does.

My family usually did takeaway at Quallys for lunch when we craved for authentic Malay dishes. We decided to dine in for a change this CNY. We booked a table for six in an air conditioned space (we get to use Teels Heritage Cafe @Ghee Hiang boutique). We ordered our favourites, Ayam percik & Kurma, Mutton and salad with sambal and a good portion of turmeric rice. The food was yummy and appetising! Always enjoy the amazing flavour of dishes. Too bad our favourite fried rempah fishes were not available. Note: 10% surcharge for the use of air-conditioned space.

What a find!!!!! Amazing Malaysian food outside that is brought inside a clean, stylish restaurant. The rice with all the different dishes was a burst of taste and spices. I couldn't stop thanking the chef/owner. As a plus, a few students had their computers out. Just all around 5 star!

Hidden away along Burmah Road is this gem which has begun to make a name for itself for good Malay food. The easiest way to find it is to look for Ghee Hiang and Quallys occupies the left most lot of three lots there. Parking is almost non existent and you'd have to park a little away at the streets nearby. The shop is fronted with a grill and a serving area which displays the offerings of the day. Around 10 to 12 dishes are normally on display and the grill seems to be operating non stop with daily specials. The proprietor would normally be the one cooking and serving, and she is really a gem. The warmth in her greeting and assistance in introducing and choosing the dishes, encourages one to try almost everything. Dropping in for an early lunch at around 11:30am, there were already diners in the small but comfortable dining area. Also, as I sat inside gorging myself on her dishes I noticed a queue forming outside - another sure sign of popularity. The dishes I had were Stingray curry which was done perfectly. Fried chicken, beef brisket, vegetables, and the briyani rice with hardboiled eggs were all perfect. Ingredients used were all very fresh, and the quality speaks for itself. My dining mate also suggested to try the Ayam Percik when it's available next as well, which, disappointingly was not during my time there. Prices are super reasonable and it's now on my list of must visit when I am back in Penang again.

I yearned for to try this place for the longest time due to all the reviews I have been reading and the food does not disappoint. I ordered a few dishes to share and they were kind enough to throw in some samples to try. All were amazing good at reasonable price. They offer catering as well and I am planning to order to take home for guest gathering. Highly recommend. The only downside is parking. Somewhat difficult to find parking in this area.

A lovely cosy discovery of delicious Kedahan Malay dishes cooked by a true blue friendly Kedahan chef. Best dishes are the fried chicken, jenahak sambal, mutton kurma, mango salad and cockles salad. Served with nasi goreng is tastier than white rice. Ambience is very private upstairs, with comfortable seating. Located actually at Café Teel on the 2nd level of Ghee Hiang shop. Parking is horrendously difficult to find and limited.

Quallys Nusantara Kitchen is very meticulous in its cooking: one can taste the care & attention put into each dish.

Highly recommended Nusantara Heritage Cuisine in the heart of George Town, Penang. Don’t miss this when you visit Penang. Food is so delicious, remember to talk to Kak Ayu, her personality and smile will melt your heart ❤️

Food: 4/5 Every dish tasted was amazing! Would be better if there are more options! (Spoiled with choices) :) Service: 5/5 Friendly staff and very helpful! Location: 4/5 Restaurant has a very comfortable dining area, even without air conditioned does not feel warm. If you’re driving, parking could be an issue during busy hours.

Very delicious yellow rice with tender & tasty ayam-percik, served with cucumber pickes, special sambal & special curry. Many other dishes also available which I will be trying out soon. Friendly Chef & Owner, Kak Ayu recommended Ikan Cencaru aka ikan sumbat. Must try.

I have dined there for lunch & dinner. The food is Malay & both visits was very good. My Malay friends loved the food there too. The owner, Ayu is very charming & helpful if you are not so familiar with Malay cuisine. There is a set menu but it is probably best if you are a group to book in advance & Ayu will prepare a menu based on your preferences using fresh bought local ingredients. The dining space upstairs is very comfortable & spacious. You can bring your own wine for a modest corkage charge. Definitely will return.

Been patronising Kak Ayu place again n again. I love the ayam percik. Today I leave it to Kak Ayu to surprise me with whatever she served

Last night, my wife treated me to a fantastic meal, from Qually's! Despite this being full MCO 3.0, the food was absolutely wonderful, varied, so well thought out and cooked. The grilled chicken percik is particularly to be recommended, though everything was a culinary delight! Happy to become a regular here after lockdown!

I just love this Malay eatery! The food is just sooooo gooood👍I came two days in a row to try different dishes. The lady chef is super friendly and I can feel the passion in cooking! This place was introduced to me by an incredible foodie living in Penang and he is always right👍 if I ever come back to Penang, I will definitely be back! Last thing, it is super reasonable I wanted to pay more😆

Dine in room at upstairs with heritage ambiance. Foods are delicious and good customer service too by the lady boss. Dinner also available here. Limited parking in front of the restaurant.

Finally got a chance to try out Quallys which offers traditional Malay cuisine during lunch time. The owner Kak Ayu was kind enough to explain to us the types of dishes available and serving us despite her busy schedule preparing for the lunch crowd. So many dishes to choose from the types of meats and vegetables that comes with their own flavor profile and distinct spices. Every bite is delicious. Will have to come back again to try out more.

Seriously delicious and tasty! Good portion. Everything on the plate is excellently prepared. Super friendly owner - she would come to our table to have simple yet engaging conversation. Highly highly recommended.

Awesome place for a local cuisine. The taste is absolute authentic. The owner, Kak Ayu was friendly and helpful to recommend the dishes. Overall all dishes served were tip top superb

very nice delicious Malay style food with generous portion. affordable price too. very friendly and humble owner. always put a smile to the customer. definitely will put in my 'must come in Penang' list 😁😁😁😁😁

We came at 3pm+ and most of the dishes were sold out. However, Kak Yun suggested that she’d cook for us Omelette and a vegetable dish to complement the remaining dishes available at her stall. She reheated the side dishes so that we’d enjoy them hot! Great hospitality by her team. We really recommend to those who are missing a taste of Southern Malaysia, or if you’re sick of Nasi Kandar. Truly a GEM! Come here at 11am to get the best of her daily dishes!

This is not only Malay style food but a mix of different countries with ingredients that are amazing. Parking however will be a little hard unless you go early. Price wise is above average but I feel it's worth the money you spend. Daily selections do change. They are almost fully open at 11.30am and are closed by 4pm

If you are in penang and a malay goods lovers, please don't miss out this eatery. Run by a malay lady by the name ' KAK AYU'. This is the place to go for the best AYAM PERCIK in town. It was so flavourful, juicy and the percik sauce is also another level. All other dishes is very good too. Seating tables not alot so do go early and also she cooks limited portion too. Highly highly recommended.

This is my second time having lunch here. Kak Ayu's hospitality is superb, although she's busy preparing food. She is friendly and really committed in serving good food. I still remember her Ayam Percik, and today I had my Cencaru Sumbat that taste amazing! The level of food prepared is like hotel, with food well blend to serve your hunger! I will keep coming 😊 Truly recommended 👌

I'm so glad I drop by, the Nasi Kunyit Ayam Percik so amazing together with the rich flavour of gravy. Never regrets. Best!

Very bad services, they didn't tell when u que and once u reach they said need to preorder yesterday, then they serve all the others without entertain ur order. Untill all finish then only then come to u around 1 hour waiting !!

Arrived around 12.30pm on weekday and the lauk almost all gone 🥹 well maybe because this place has become more famous these days where it used to be only known by the locals only previously. But nvm, food taste absolutely delicious! 🤩🤩 The owner who served us is very nice, kind and friendly 🥰 My husband even said that if we live nearby, we could eat the lauk here everyday 🤣 Wish to come here frequently and try more food.

Very nice foods and very tasty too, very fair price but watchout for the drink's price...

We had the most truly terrific authentic Malay food for lunch today. Cik Ayu is a bubbly, friendly owner/Chef that recommended to us her delicious food. We bought the Turmeric rice set with Beef Rendang, the beef was 'melt in the mouth' delicious and the turmeric rice was so fragrant with all its spices plus it went so well with sambal Kuinin. I also bought 2 drums of Ayam Percik which were equally delicious, the taste was so close to the original one that I had in Kelantan years back. Fragrant and so "lemak" 😋😋😋 Her food is highly recommended....well done Chef Ayu & Team !

The best food we had in Penang. What a great honour to have a chance to taste such Inexpensive exquisite fragrance authentic Malay cuisine. A must try.
