Hameediyah Multi Concept Dining

About Us

Hameediyah stands as an enduring icon of authentic Indian-Muslim cuisine, carrying forward a legacy that began in 1907 in George Town, Penang. Renowned as Malaysia’s oldest nasi kandar restaurant, it continues to charm food enthusiasts in Kuala Lumpur with its unwavering commitment to heritage, quality, and tradition. Its flagship multi-concept restaurant in Bukit Bintang offers a modern yet deeply authentic experience that honors the rich culinary history passed down through generations.

The atmosphere at Hameediyah Bukit Bintang is a blend of tradition and contemporary elegance. The six-level space includes a lively bistro on the ground floor and a dedicated gallery floor that beautifully narrates the restaurant’s heritage with artefacts and photographs from its early days. Soon to unveil a fine dining level, the establishment offers diners multiple ways to experience the legendary flavors—from casual meals to elevated culinary indulgence.

Hameediyah’s strength lies in its masterful preparation of classic dishes that have stood the test of time. The restaurant uses time-honored recipes and premium ingredients to ensure every bite bursts with authentic taste and complexity. It is known for perfectly balancing spice, aroma, and texture—a true hallmark of Indian-Muslim cuisine that appeals widely to locals and visitors alike.

Signature dishes showcase a variety of meats, seafood, and vegetable preparations, each crafted with meticulous care. The Nasi Kandar Ayam Bawang is a beloved staple, featuring free-range chicken marinated and cooked with caramelized onions to create a deep, fragrant flavor profile. Lamb lovers are drawn to the Biryani with Kambing Kurmah, where tender lamb simmers in rich kurmah gravy paired with aromatic rice. For a taste of the sea, Kari Kepala Ikan delivers a bold, tangy fish head curry infused with a signature blend of spices and tamarind.

Snack and side options are equally compelling. The Sotong Goreng Viral—a crispy fried squid dish—is a perfect example of the restaurant’s ability to elevate simple ingredients through expert seasoning and technique. The Murtabak Hameediyah offers a satisfying, stuffed flatbread filled with spiced meat and onions, ideal for sharing or savoring solo.

Noodles make an appearance with the Mee Goreng Rawther, a flavorful stir-fry highlighted by prawns, tofu, and a special sambal that adds depth and heat. Slow-cooked dishes such as the Daging Rendang Hameediyah showcase tender beef enveloped in a luscious coconut and spice gravy, while the Ayam Kapitan features roasted chicken bathed in a creamy coconut and nut curry, celebrating Penang’s unique culinary heritage.

Breads and beverages round out the experience, with the Kashmiri Naan offering a soft, sweet contrast through its dried fruit-studded dough. To wash it all down, the refreshing Sirap Bandung Hameediyah, a rose syrup drink, provides a fragrant and sweet finish that perfectly complements the rich and spicy dishes.

Hameediyah’s enduring appeal is grounded in its ability to faithfully represent Malaysian Indian-Muslim cuisine with integrity and passion. Its historical roots and dedication to quality continue to make it a go-to destination for those seeking a genuine taste of Penang’s iconic nasi kandar tradition, now flourishing in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
