    One of the reason we came here to dine is because the restaurant is pet friendly. Our dog had a great time exploring the space. The food is delicious with great focus on its sides. Ambience is cozy, with the interior decorated in mix match of comfortable sofa and dining tables. As I we came in for lunch, we didn't get to enjoy the live band performance in the evening. Will definitely come again.

    Great atmosphere, good vibes, amazing food!!! We travel a lot, we are Hungarians live in France, Lyon which is the gastronomic capital of France… believe us, Middle House Penang meets the highest standards! After the first night we booked immediately dinner reservation for our next day :) We are so grateful for this experience! Andrew, Susan! Thanks for making our honeymoon memorable :) hugs and kisses: Boglarka and Valentin Barati :)

    Cosy small space to have a quiet lunch. No fancy menu but the food is cooked with passion. Good service from the owner.

    A great venue. The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. The owner was one of the friendliest people we have met in our time in Malaysia and made us feel so welcome. I can highly recommend a visit.

    It’s not a catchy exterior design but the interior vibe was super chill. The main dishes were all superb, especially the black pepper chicken chop and Curry Chicken! It’s worth a try

    Thank you Andrew and Susan for the wonderful evening and your warm hospitality at the Middle House. We really enjoyed the food and we had a good time with our dance group. Appreciate all the things that you've prepared (the sound system, disco ball, tripod) to make it a memorable occasion. 🙏👍💃🕺 Lastly, thanks again for the wonderful birthday surprise with the yummy tiramisu cakes 🎂🎉 🙏😊

    Stumbled upon this place purely from the high reviews to have our late lunch/dinner only to have the best experience. Food is superb and gives you the feeling of visiting a relative and getting homemade dishes made from love at reasonable prices. If you've the chance to have a chat with Andrew, please do as not only is he the best host but has the best insight to life. Andrew if you're reading this thank you for the hospitality and kindness for marking a great end to our short trip. We will be back! Penang is lucky to have a demigod like you around 😉

    After a very tired journey, I randomly bump into this restaurant and enjoy my dinner here. The experience is marvellous, in terms of the dining atmosphere, the food quality, it’s worth this price. I tried the pork, soup of the day and tiramisu. The pork is tender, the coleslaw and the dipping sauce really match the pork. It’s really impressive. Soup of the day is tomato soup, I am amused by the textures of the soup. I have not tried the tomato soup with texture. The tiramisu is good as well. I will come again definitely.

    Customer service was top notch and food was pretty good! Had an amazing time there and there was also a live band playing and the ambience was just perfect for a friday night, very chill and stress free. Definitely would recommend if you’re looking for a place to listen good music and have a drink! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Visited the restaurant again but today is to celebrate mum’s birthday! Love the vibe, jazz music played and a very warm welcome by the lovely members of the restaurant, most importantly is the foods served! They were all yummy! Will definitely drop by again!

    Nice ambience and friendly service. We ordered salmon and pork chop, both signature dishes were delicious! Great place for dinner with family and friends, will definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Khoo J. 1 year ago on Google
    Very relaxing and homey. Nice ambience with some unique decor. Food portion is big and tasty. Had Chic Chop, Chic Pie, Claypot Pork, Fish & Chips, Mushroom soup. The Choc Salted Caramel is special & yummy. Not forgetting the famous Ondeh Ondeh Cake & Choc Brownie. The Brownie has a crunchy outer layer and yet soft inside and goes well with the ice cream. Good place for meetup & chit chat. I was late so do not have the pic. Will visit again for some nice shots.

    went in solo today. boss was welcoming, had a nice simple chat, since i’m alone, recommended pork chop and i just roll with it. seems like a nice place to have a little alcohol but had to reject since still day time(gotta work after). had my meal with good feel and right musical atmosphere. would return with friends and family next time.

  • 5/5 Jason L. 5 months ago on Google
    Got this recommended from a friend, and never regretted coming here. Pork chop and tiramisu was amazing. Char-grilled chicken chop and soups were nice too. The boss couple was really friendly and hosted a great birthday for me yesterday (totally enjoyed it). Never have I experienced such an impressive service in a long time. If you're looking to have a personal event (i.e. birthdays, dates, anniversary), this is one hell of a gem to go to savour and celebrate in. The boss couple will not disappoint you on your visit here.

    Great little restaurant with delicious food, wonderful character, and the friendliest owners! I had the Middle House Signature Pork Chop with Black Pepper Sauce, applesauce, and potatoes/veggies. Washed it down with some Tiger Beer. The pork chop was tender and paired with the black pepper sauce was quite tasty. The salad and veggie/potato mix were great compliments. When I think of applesauce, I think of the stuff my mom used to shove down my throat as a kid, so I was a little apprehensive to try it. I’m glad I did! It paired great with the chop and sides, and definitely changed my mind on applesauce! Great service all the way around. Nice cozy restaurant that had Christmas decor set up during my visit. I felt so unbelievably welcomed there! I was lucky to come in on a slower night and was able to talk to the (presumed) owner about some local places to visit and local food to try! I’ll have to come back and try the tiramisu. I think I’ve ate my own weight in food today, and just didn’t have the room for it. The neighboring table ordered it and it looked amazing.

    I went to this restaurant for dinner with my husband and 4 year old son. The owner of this place was really welcoming and very friendly and its like talking to a friend which was known for a long time. Mr Andrew was really welcoming and loved the hospitality provided by him. Food was really good and the Tiramisu was superb. Loved the environment here which makes you feel like being at home. Will definitely visit here again in future. Never came across any restaurant owner that is so welcoming all the while when I was in Penang and this was the first time coming across a place like this. 👍

  • 5/5 Rebekah L. 11 months ago on Google
    Food is good and worth the price. The couple who owns it cooks the dishes with great care and serves them with a great attitude. Good homey feeling, suitable for intimate gatherings. I had the chicken pie, other family members has the Grilled Salmon, and the Pork Chop. The soups and potato rosti are good too.

  • 5/5 Low Joo K. 11 months ago on Google
    For those who is interested in a homely style meal with a touch of humour from the owner Andrew himself, this is the place for you. Food was delightful, the potato rosti was the bomb. Definitely try the pork chop! Cozy ambience, a good getaway from all the hustle and bustle.

😠 I reached at around 2:30pm and still need to queue till 3:00 pm. Disappointed with the food because the deep fried fish roe and fish are hard rather than crispy. The gravy is also so so only.

👍 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...
