"Three friends opened the original Pelita shop to serve Indian-Malay cuisine in Penang, but the business has grown over the years into a famed chain with an impressive 25 locations. Grab a plate and choose from a buffet of crunchy vegetables, curries (chicken, crab, prawn), ayam kandar (fried chicken marinated in curry seasoning), and sotong goreng tempura (squid generously dipped in batter, fried to a golden brown, and served with a slice of lime). The counter-service spot can get pretty crowded during peak hours, but the queue moves fairly quickly and the place is open 24 hours a day, so you can always stop by when the traffic’s a bit lighter.

Low quality of anchovies. Fry together with the head without cleaning. Service of pelita samudera getting more worse day by day. Management is totally out. Using low quality of things and plan to have more profit

Pelita has opened today with new looks! Hope they can maintain the cleanliness as it is, the seating seems lesser than before with an airconditioned dining room.
Good to have this place running back! The kuah campur here beats Jln Ampang!

Everything that I have ever eaten here over the last 20 years has been delicious. It never disappoints. Fully recommend Pelita to anyone.

Came to Pelita on a Friday night after they are newly renovated.
1. Limited seats now and more cramped even though there is air-conditioned seating now
2. I waited for 45 minutes for maggi goreng and nasi goreng kampung and my foods never arrived so I ended up paying only for my drinks and left the place. HORRIBLE SERVICE
3. Asked the staff what happened to my order, none of them were aware of the order when the guy at the cashier asked what happened to my order

After renovated, service too slow. If you cant afford a staff whos tech savy to handle orders thru ipad, might as well use manual. People go restaurant mamak to get fast service but one staff taking orders for the whole restaurant is too bad. Not only that, need to wait for 10 minutes to ask for people to clean up the table. Renovation is important but if service is worsen then might as well just reconsider, bad experience for us.

Really disappointed with the management! I came here twice, but every time I come there is some uncivilized person smoking! How could these people never thought of other people feeling. Why we have to dine with the smoke? Can we have some action again this uncivilized people.

Roti kosong very hard to chew.. it might be the roti just put aside after cook then when someone ordered, they just put it in a pan for while..
Teh tarik also didn't taste good..
They just sell Nasi Kandar Pelita brand only here..
