Jawi House Cafe Gallery

Delicious food, awesome service, and an amazing heritage ambiance. Everything i had from the Roti Surai to fish Curry and the dessert was perfect. The fish curry tasted divine. Would definitely visit if I return to Penang.

lunch at Jawi House Cafe Gallery, a Michelin-guide spot in George Town. They serve Peranakan Muslim cuisine in a charming, nostalgic old house. Food didn’t quite hit the mark for me, and prices are on the high side—but service was great!

Very cool place to come and have lunch or dinner. We loved the beef rendang and the coconut rice. Mango salad was tasty as well. Friendly service and cool vibe.

Food is average in taste and it is understandable that restaurant cook considering all types of visitors. Bit light for me. But the desert is very nice in taste.

Thanks to a friend' suggestion we discovered this amazing place. We loved the food, a unique way of interpreting Peranakan traditional cuisine, and the welcoming attitude of the staff. The building itself is very nice and cosy. We suggest the Seasonal Malaysian Salad and the vegetarian udang, if available.

Few times eating here. Today having lunch here. Good foods and good environment. Service awesome. Thank you.

Wonderful Peranakan-Muslim restaurant. Beautiful little old house which is decorated very nicely too. The food was marvelous. I had a green mango salad, which reminded me of Som Tum in Thailand without the fish sauce. Delicious! The mutton stew with bread was excellent as well. Super tender and rich in taste. Service was top notch. I asked to make the dishes spicy and spicy they were. Superb dining experience and the prices were very fair. I will be back. Only the music didn’t really match the ambiance (they played 80s soft rock including…BON JOVI)

This is rather pricey place. A bowl of rice is exceptionally high due to its exquisiteness. Food taste was alright but not very great. We do not quite like that the entire restaurant is so dark which could encourage breeding of mosquitoes.
