"The quintessential signature dish at Hameediyah- Chicken Murtabak (Rm 5 each); we were delighted to know that Hameediyah is still putting effort in preserving the traditional way of cooking Murtabak."

"The curry was unbelievably good. The chicken was exquisitely seasoned and the meal we had was so satisfying, we were glad we chose to dine here."

"Their Curry Chicken left very strong impression due the robustness of their curry. By using high heat, the milk and cream from the coconut broke down perfectly and blended into the curry. The curry's spiciness is moderate for us, glaze it over the white rice and eat along with their palatable cabbage."

"Best Chicken Curry in Penang: Hameediyah Restaurant - Chicken curry and biryani – Tender pieces of chicken are simmered amidst savoury-spicy curry and once it's drenched over a bed of briyani rice, you just can't get enough of it."

"Doused with a mix of curry, it goes great with steaming white rice. For a complete nasi kandar experience, opt for their aromatic nasi briyani to complement with your meaty dish."

"Hameediyah is my go-to place for "murtabaks", the delicious meat-filled Tamil-Muslim savoury pancakes, when I'm in Penang - still the best I have tasted anywhere in Singapore or Malaysia."

"I’ve been going to Hameediyah, every time I visit Penang, since my first time there in 1987. Internet favourite is the chicken martabak. The last time I was there at introduced it to my daughter (14yrs) and she thought it was delicious. I love the fact that it hasn’t changed. It was the best thing I had ever eaten in 1987 and to this day it is still the thing I instantly think about if asked to name my favourite food. Sorry that my pic is of a half eaten dish - it’s impossible not to start eating before the thought of even taking a pic enters your brain. It’s that good 🤤"
