Suffolk House Restaurant

RM70 for fish & chips and mushroom soup? Honestly not worth it at all. The fish & chips were the worst I’ve had, its mushy, not fresh, tiny portion and the sides were underwhelming. The brulee was bland too, I could easily make a better version at home. The crew’s service was rather unpleasant. Just a few minutes after I finished my meal, they came over asking to clear the plate/table, which felt like they were rushing me out of the restaurant. On top of that, the restaurant is hot, I mean hot temperature. Parking has no cover and security. Reservation? I don't really think so, it is empty inside. For the high prices, the food quality is closer to roadside/hawker level. In fact, hawkers do it much better at a fraction of the price. Definitely not a place I’d recommend.

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was warm and pleasant, and the food was delicious with generous portions. A special thanks to Rafiq for the excellent service—he was friendly, attentive, and even offered to take photos for us, which made our evening even more memorable.

The food served is unique and presentation is nicely done. Service throughout the dinner service by Rafiq is 5 star. He made us felt welcome and comfortable for the entire dining experience. Would highly recommend to come if you are looking to treat yourself to something nice.

If you’re looking for a memorable afternoon tea experience in Penang, Suffolk House is a must-visit. The moment you step into this beautifully restored colonial mansion, you’re greeted by friendly staff who make you feel genuinely welcome. The tea selection is impressive perfect for both tea connoisseurs and casual sippers. The afternoon tea set is a delightful feast for the senses. Each tier is filled with an array of sweet and savory treats, all artfully prepared and bursting with flavor. The scones are especially noteworthy—warm, soft, and served with cream and pineapple & strawberry fruit jam. A word of advice: make sure you don’t eat too much before your visit! Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just indulging in a relaxing afternoon, Suffolk House promises a charming and satisfying experience.

Been back to this place multiple time for celebration as well as just for a night out dinner. Our latest visit for valentine day dinner was one of the best. We were serve by Garib, he was attentive & polite making the evening all the more pleasant. The steak here is one of the best found in Penang, I can't recommend it enough.

Came here for lunch and really enjoyed it. The food was well-prepared, the atmosphere is perfect for a date, and the service by Rafiq was superb!

Rafiq and Hossain took great care of us during our meal, ensuring we had the best experience for our birthday celebration! Thank you for making the occasion extra memorable!

A 'fine dining like' joint nestled in an old building. Food's good, had the lunch set and picked the seafood arrabiatta pasta + mushroom soup. Came at a hearty portion and I enjoyed every mouthful of it. Everything was good except the price - it's not for the faint hearted. Suggest to check the menu + price online before making a drastic decision to dine here to avoid cardiac complications...
