One of the best Indian food experiences ever. The Mutton Karahi is fantastic. So much so, I must have eaten there most nights whilst in Batu Ferringhi. Great value too for less than MYR 30. Am sure that recipe could be franchised and copyrighted for...millions 🤗More

My husband & I were given a good recommendation about this restaurant. We visited with another couple. It was immediately apparent that it appeared very clean. The staff were dressed & acted in a professional manner, very nice, polite & attentive. We shared the starters...of bruschetta ( a dish I didn’t expect) which was really nice, plenty of garlic, but not too much. Also onion bhaji , which was in a different style to any I had eaten before. They were so nice. For the main I chose Chicken tikka Masala & pilau rice. I was asked how spicy I wanted the curry, I asked for medium. The rice was so nice, far from boring, it had just enough cardamom in it to flavour, without overpowering. The curry was amazing. I expected it to be a lot of creamy sauce, but it wasn’t. There was plenty of chicken & had a lovely crunch from the green peppers, which were just cooked enough. I have eaten a lot of curry, this was the best. I highly recommend it & look forward to visiting again sometimeMore

We found this restaurant the first night we were staying in Batu Ferringhi. We returned every night as food is delicious. They have traditional Indian, seafood, pizza, pasta etc - something for everyone. The shawarma for 10 RM is a must. To drink - the...Mango Lassi was my favourite.More

We had dinner here, very quiet in the restaurant. The food was delicious, good portions and nice staff served us. I can recommend this restaurant, with reasonable priced food and a lot of menu choices.

We looked up TripAdvisor and found this place, and on arrival thought we had the wrong place. Don't be fooled! This is the correct place and definitely deserves the high ratings!!! You can have delicious spaghetti with authentic naan + tandoori chichen or lovely nasi...daging, the chef excelled in all cuisines! MUST TRY MUSHROOM SOUP. Food was amazing 👏More

Friendly & engaging staffs. Food served quite fast & fresh & hot. The cheese naan is so good - ordered twice. Chicken tandoori was tender. The gravy for butter prawn & the mint sauce with dhal for chicken tandoori has unique & savoury taste ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had twice lunch and one time dinner as I was staying at Bayview Beach Resort. Service was good and the fried rice (RM6 and above) was tasty and good portion. The drinks were a bit expensive, mostly above RM6. Medium pizza RM18 for was not...my licking as it was quite hard. Had the fried chicken chop RM13 which was good and tasty. The restaurant accepts grab pay as payment.More

This small simple cafe was recommended to us by friends who knew we enjoyed Indian food. So we decided to give it a try and we were definitely not disappointed As we were almost at the end of our holiday we only visited twice and...on both occasions found the food to be delicious. The staff were very pleasant and asked how spicy you wanted your meal Don't be put off by the simple surroundings the food is delicious freshly cooked to order and very well priced Would heartily recommendMore

My family and I have been staying at the Bayview Beach Resort when travelling to Penang for over 19 years now and Enca Cafe just across the road is one of our favourite spots! We love coming to Enca for both lunch and dinner and...never realised that is a restaurant in Penang that actually makes the best Bruschetta in the world! The food is great and the variety of the menu will cater to everyone. The team working there are always wonderful and friendly and it’s great that they remember us each time even with 2 or 3 years between trips. If you’re in Penang you must make your way to Enca Cafe.More

Last reviewed Enca 8 yrs ago & it hasn't changed, food & staff unbeatable at any time of the day. Our two young kids loved it too as their first time in Penang. Also do everything take away, so when kids need their bed, a...cheeky take out on the balcony hits the spot. Thank you Enca! See you again!More
