About
Kebaya is the dining room of the Seven Terraces and is open to hotel guests and the public. Open daily, 6pm till 10pm. Christopher Ong has worked with the hotel’s chefs to create a menu of a new approach to Classic Straits Chinese Nyonya dishes. They have refined these using French cooking techniques and innovative products to deliver surprising new twists on this already fascinating cuisine. The effect is simple, delicious full of flavor and dazzling. A four-course degustation menu of entrée, mains, vegetables and dessert is served in Chinese 'family-style' to allow guests to share the dishes.

Excellent food, service and ambience. A must ‘go to’ restaurant when visiting Georgetown. Very worthy of a Michelin star.

Kebaya is in the historic part of Penang (Georgetown) in a fully renovated building. The menu is set - you just pick from a few items. We had beef, chicken, duck, noodles, and mixed vegetables. All were delicious! The service is top notch with plenty...of attention paid to you. By local standards it is pricey. Along the lines for US and European prices per person. Loved it. Would go again. N*joy!More

What a wonderful dining experience. There are two dinner sittings we went for the 20.00. The ambience and decor is fabulous, staff attentive, interested, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. I was particularly impressed in how accommodating they were to our food allergies. Loved...the beautiful old fashioned crockery. Food cooked to perfection.More

What a wonderful experience. The Kebaya Dining Room never fails. The food was outstanding as was the service. Excellent advice by the waiter. Portions were more than sufficient for 7 adults. The set menu had very good variety. All dishes were a standout, including dessert.

This is my 3rd visit to Kebaya Dining. I was somewhat disappointed with my experience last night. The food is good but not as good as my last 2 visits. On top of that, the servers seems a little lost, bring wrong items to wrong...tables, most of the staffs were unable to give recommendations or explain the dishes. The bottle of Pinot noir we ordered were super chilled (cold). I would suggest the restaurant to look into areas of improvement and up your game a-little and not be overly complacent with how it was.More
