Indian restaurants in Peninsular Malaysia – West Coast

A
Spice & Rice
Southern Indian food is served with class on crisp white table clothes laden with wine glasses and candles. There's an OK (but good for Penang) wine list, cocktails are on offer and the service is excellent. Goanese fish curry, chicken tikka and, ahem, goat-brain masala are just some of the menu items. There's live jazz on Thursday and Friday nights; otherwise you'll have to suffer through the pseudo-soft rock and country and western music that's pumped through the stereo.

Sarkies Corner
Sarkies offers different themed dinner buffets every day of the week; the focus shifts from Asian to Western to fusion to the kitchen sink, and its uniformly good stuff (you’ll want to dress up). The lunch buffet is gorgeous – it plucks menu items from across the globe, and if you can’t find something you want, you’re a very picky eater. Finally, for the nascent colonialist deep in your soul, high tea (RM46) is served in the garden from noon to 3pm every Sunday.

Selvam
This is a classic banana leaf restaurant always busy with its loyal band of local patrons ordering tasty and cheap curries, roti and Tandoori chicken sets (RM5.50). Even devout carnivores will second guess their food preferences after trying the Friday-afternoon vegetarian special with 10 varieties of veg for only RM6.

Kaliammans
Smart, air-con restaurant serving North and South Indian cuisine, as well as Western food such as pizza. It's regarded as one of the better Indian budget places in town. The best value is the tasty banana-leaf set meals, but the garlic naan with palak paneer (spinach and cottage cheese) is to die for.

Sri Ananda Bahwan
Basic Indian eatery, seemingly forever full of chatting locals, serving up tandoori chicken, roti canai (unleavened flaky flat bread) and murtabak (roti canai filled with meat or vegetables). There’s an air-con dining hall if you prefer more comfort.

Medan Makan Bunga Raya
Follow the sounds of a chopping meat cleaver to Medan Makan Bunga Raya, where you can feast on Indian-style curry-pork rice in the evenings or try the local speciality of gula melaka (palm sugar) during the day.
