Came for buka puasa buffet. Very limited food choices. Most of dishes empty by 8:30pm (supposed to open until 10:00pm). Had to request the staff to top up. Variety quite limited and taste was basic at best. Disappointing experience after hearing all the hype about this place. Not worth the RM98 per person at all. Only good thing is that the kuih lapis was really tasty.

Nice place to spend quality time with family.. Nice view, delicious food and friendly staff.. You must try it by yourself..

Good food great ambience, must try.

I recently had my wedding here and I have nothing but the highest praise for the team at The Tamarra for making my dream wedding come true. From the planning to execution, everything was done with excellence and the team were very efficient and delivered so well. Even my very traditional Chinese family were really impressed with the whole setup and they enjoyed the food and the atmosphere very much. The decorations was truly marvelous as well. I was really impressed with it and everyone wouldn't stop talking about how beautiful the place was. The entire wedding package is truly worth it's value and I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to create special memories with them. Thanks again to the team and we will definitely come round for lunch some other days.

Great food, good ambience. Just a bit dissapointed with the cold food. Maybe you can adjust the aircond temperature & customer can really enjoy all the delicious food well.

It's proud to bring my international student friends to dine here and experience Malaysian modern gastronomy foods. In the overall, the food quality is superb, compact with umami flavor, aromatic spices, bold texture, and presentable plating. The outdoor space we dine in is extremely exquisite during sunset, the sky tones make the whole translucent roof and area looks aesthetics, along with subtile jazz music, suitable for wedding, family gathering or any sort of event with capacity of 30-100 pax. The only shortcoming perhaps the limited car parks, which highly recommended for the reservation before go there.

Great ambience and awesome scenery! Elegant design in the interior and the furniture as well. Food is great, tasty and delicious! Definitely recommended! Staff's attitude and services are awesome and highly appreciated!

This place serves good Malay food. Only that I found the prawn fritter slightly salty. The itik masak lemak cili api was excellent, the rempah sotong I enjoyed it - sotong not chewy but melts in your mouth, the kerabu manggo balances everything out from what was ordered. The price - value for money, appropriate with food portion. Parking - easy and free as it’s in the restaurant compound itself. Environment is modern yet nostalgic (those classic malay music played from the stereo the jazzy style) and it’s as it situated by the sea (outdoor seating). Good place for dinner with big groups or any occasion or event. I would recommend this place and I would go again. Oh ya the teh tarik - best!

Pleasant ambience. Presentable food. Friendly staff.

Been here twice. Love the ambience and the food. The place is just next to the seaside. Love all the food. The event space is also spacious, great for wedding and engagement reception.

Was here for dinner, we had the set hidang that cost RM88++ per pax. All the dishes served cold/not warm at all. Prawns weren’t fresh, clams all closed, baked fish almost half burnt. So much lack of Malay food authenticity in terms of taste. Almost tasteless. For the the services, it is just as bad as the foods.

Delicious food , nice place , good view and very excellent service 💯 Marvellous 👌🏻

Great environment and friendly staff. Nice place to have gathering. We had high tea. The cake and pastries kind of too sweet. However the savory item was delicious. The tea choices can be better because it just normal brand tea pack that we need to choose.Overall nice experience....

This place promised you the best Modern Malay gastronomy food. The service is the best! all staff were friendly and smiley. The food is chef kiss! we ordered: • sambal hijau petai (10/10)- This is a must! love it as it is not too spicy. • Ayam Bakar Rendang (9.5/10)- not your normal rendang, grilled chicken added with thick rendang sauce. nyums! • Itik salai masak lemak (9/10) Price is almost similar with Irama Dining. But this place have extra beach view which is nice! Toilet also so clean like a hotel toilet.

A high class Malay dining experience. Serves delicious and elegant meals. Suitable for wedding banquets, company lunch/dinner, vip treats.

The Tamarra is known as Malay Western Restaurant. The restaurant located in the city of Georgetown. Great ambiance as the restaurant is just next to the seaside.

Celebrate my wife’s birthday here. The service is good and the staff are friendly. The price is reasonable considering how good the food are. Food served was delicious, must come again. Easy parking, we can choose whether we want to sit in the air-cond area or at the open area which is sea view.

If you're looking for malay food in a nice restaurant and not too crowded at town, I'll definitely recommend you this place. Seafood were fresh and huge portions. Affordable price. Most importantly, the food was superb and it was served quite fast. You can choose to sit by the beach or indoor with aircond. The photos explains it all!

Cosy place with a view to die for. First of there's not enough parking space in this big restaurant. Food wise presentation is 10/10 but some of the food is already cold when it's served. A bit chaotic as we pre-order it up front but overall was ok. Comparing to irama dining at esplanade i would prefer that to this interms of the food quality and taste. Nevertheless the view is the main attraction here.

Exquisite Malay cuisine by the sea! The kerabu mangga, beef skewers, pandan rice, kari ikan and ayam rendang are must call items. Love the food, ambience and attentive service by the friendly waiters.

Located in what I'm assuming to previously have been a colonial residence or a new building styled after an old colonial residence, this upscale Malay Cuisine restaurant also makes use of the large garden facing the sea to provide their al-fresco diners with a fantastic view of the ocean. We opted for the Hidang Style set lunch which came with a starter, a variety of dishes to be eaten over rice, and a dessert. The starter of prawn fritters was a delightfully flavor explosion; these crispy, shrimpy morsels were served with a sweet and savory sauce reminiscent of a rojak sauce but with enough nuance to ensure that the pairing worked very well. The main courses had a mixture of hits and misses, but thankfully the hits outnumber the misses. The mango kerabu, squid (sotong sultan karipoley) and Masala Chicken were excellent while the tiger prawns (masak lemak cili kampung) were unfortunate overdone even though the gravy was nice. The grilled fish (ikan bakar signature Tamarra) was particularly disappointing as it was supposed to be their signature dish; while the char and the texture was good, the fish lacked the typical turmeric, ginger and lemongrass flavors one typically associates with this style of grilled fish. It was also under-salted. The condiments helped, but I felt it should have been better. The dessert of black glutinous rice and vanilla ice cream was a nice finish to our meal. The sweet ice cream when mixed with the salted black glutinous rice is a sweet and savory delight, and one can customize their own balance of flavors with every scoop. I can see why this place can be a popular spot for large group meals and events, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for halal food and willing to splurge a little bit.

I dined with my family here last weekend and was amazed with the ambience and food. Service could be improved as there were only 2 staff on the floor and the restaurant was rather busy. But overall it's an amazing restaurant. Love the masak lemak, ikan bakar, mango salad and pengat pisang! Pepes ayam was very salty but yet still very tasty. We didn't enjoy the ketupat was it was rather lumpy. Will surely be back to try more dishes

A very worthwhile experience. Foods are exquisitely good, perfectly tender moist when chew in your mouth. Recommended dish to have; ayam rendang, nasi kunyit and strawberry laichee. Perfect ambience to celebrate your special moments. Staffs are friendly, educated and knowledgeable when it comes to basic human needs and common sense. Worth every ringgit and time spend here.

Nice place, great view and most importantly is delicious food! My most favourite among many other things is kambing bakar, would definitely be back to try their fine dine menu !!

Ambience and dining place was nice.. just by the sea, service is ok 👌🏻 food taste is awesome however less one star for the portion. The chicken served was chop to 2-3 pieces but the server said the portion is for 4-5 pieces. If you have experience dining in irama dining, you know how generous the food portion is.. the price is similar to irama dining however the tamarra food portion is a bit turndown. Hopefully they improves this as they are presenting the name by irama dining. You can refer the picture, you can see the smoked duck masak lemak portion. The server said it is for 2-3 pax 😯😯

My family and I celebrated dad 56th birthday dinner at The Tamarra by Irama Dining. The service is top notch the food is chef kiss. The restaurant is very well decorated and the ambiance is beautiful. We really had a great time. Thank you so much The Tamarra’s team for the hospitality especially Khai and Syazwan. We definitely will come back!

Food is below my expectation. Ayam bakar is below expectation. The chicken is too dry. My mouth got tired after eating it. The crab starter dish, not worth it. There is no crabby flavour. Too normal.

The Tamarra is one of the best halal restaurants in Penang that serve quality & taste of the menu with an outdoor seating and amazing view. The food is great, and so was the service. The new hi-tea set is so romantic😉

One of the best malay fusion restaurants in Penang, we loved everything here, the taste, the outdoor ambience, the service. Will definitely come back again.

I have high expectation when I first visit this place due to good reviews from my colleagues. And I must say I was definitely not disappointed. This place is very nicely done in terms of deco and ambience. There's aircond if you dine inside or you can go outside as well as there is another big dining area outside. Personally I would really recommend to book a table inside as the outside area tends to get a bit hot and humid but also you get to enjoy nice sea view if you side outside so it is really your choice. Food selection is crazy as there are lots and lots of choices avaliable. And I must applaud the food presentation as it is really nicely done! I can't really remember if there is any dish that taste bad, nah... I don't recall. But on the other hand I don't think there are standout food too but in general I will say all taste good and probably above average in general. There is simply too many to name here so just refer to the pictures attached. Oh yeah btw, i went for buffet option. I was told there is ala carte too if you want and the ala carte food is even much better! So as for the price, we paid around RM118 per pax for the buffet. I will say it is kinda expensive so will I go back again for the buffet at this price? Probably no. But should you try it at least once? My answer is a definite yes! Car park is pretty limited so be prepared fo park somewhere far away. Car park is free. I am returning for the ala carte food. 😉

This is a fine dining like atmosphere for Malay cuisine. Food is delicious but pricey as expected. Service is ok, waiters are attentive, however a bit rough as there's a lot of banging and clanging when they lay the plates and cutlery.

Good food. Great ambiance. An up market venue.

Good place for an anniversary event. There is Surau on the second floor. You can choose to either dine outside or inside. Both recommended.

We had our wedding ( akad nikah and reception here ) . I am 200 % impressed on how they managed to pull it off within a week. We had a food tasting a day before but wasn’t satisfied with selection, we requested to change one item and they happily obliged that would turn out to be the best decision we ever made, their kerabu mango was amazing by itself, so as other food as well. They also given us free fruits as a compliment. Our guests are very happy and our parents are very pleased with everything. Their decoration complimented seaview background. The regrets was for the people who wasn’t able to attend the wedding and enjoy the amazing food. Thanks to Aisyah , who made it happened for us and the boys that have attended us during our wedding. Last but not least , COMPLIMENT TO THE CHEFS FOR THE AMAZING FOOD. Would highly recommended to have a wedding here.

I was here with my family having dinner, enjoying sunset and the sea breeze. There’s a lot on the menu we can’t really choose but, Big thanks to Mr Amir who has assisted us with menu and best choice of food. The combination of foods and drinks he suggested come out really nice. Glad that we were served by him and hopefully he’ll be assisting us again on our next visit. I’ll always recommend Tamarra to my family and friends

Amazing place for lovely couple to do their anniversary celebration. The food are marvelous and the vibe at this place are so chilling and exclusive
