Some fans of Hameediyah claimed that the flavors of the spices have tamed over the years but everyone would have to agree that Hameediyah is still one of the best places to enjoy a plate of authentic Penang Nasi Kandar.

Overall it's good and nice except for the cleanliness of the restaurant floor. It seems like there is no attention to regular cleaning or emphasis.

They say this is the oldest Nasi Kandar restaurant in Penang. The queue is super long, but the food is displayed at the counter, so you can just pick whichever dishes you prefer.

Considered them scammers and the biggest tourist trap in penang. One lamp shank 55. One shrimp 25. Meal end up being nearly 100 for less than one star place, service 0, space 0, hygiene 0.

This is a famous restaurant in Penang that always has a long queue due to its popularity. Many well-known review channels have featured this place. The food is delicious, made with good-quality ingredients, and the prices are reasonable.

Many people say locals don’t eat here and that it’s mostly tourists who come. Regardless, I still rate it among the best in Penang. The gravy is rich, layered, and perfectly spiced.
