Hameediyah Restaurant
Restoran Hameediyah
Established in 1907, this restaurant is listed in the Malaysia Book of Records as the oldest nasi kandar restaurant in the country.
Operating on Lebuh Campbell since 1907, Hameediyah was recognized by the Malaysia Book of Records in 2020 as the oldest nasi kandar restaurant in the country, and is now run by the seventh generation of the family. Signature dishes include chicken Kapitan, onion chicken, beef rendang, Mysore mutton, and cheese murtabak. Halal-certified, a plate of rice with two curries costs around RM 10 to 15, though ordering large prawns, squid, or mutton shank will make it significantly more expensive. It may temporarily close during Friday prayers. Located at 164A Lebuh Campbell, it is easily accessible on foot within the World Heritage zone.
Opening hours
Around 10:00–23:00 (older sources state 22:00 closing; may close temporarily on Friday afternoon)
