    Muthu Banana Leaf Restaurant is right opposite is the small and neat Armenian Park. There are a few eateries around George Town that has a homey ambiance. When you step in, you would almost hesitate at the threshold.

    There are several iconic banana leaf rice eateries in George Town and one of them is Traditional Indian Banana Leaf Rice. This eatery also known to many as Muthu was once located in Lumut Lane (Lorong Lumut).

    One of my favorites !! I seek this place out every time I come to Penang and get the banana leaf rice sets. Flavors are perfectly balanced and my mouth waters when I think about all the different flavors.

    We came all the way from KL… we really wanted to taste banana leaf meal. Our cravings was satisfied here. We came around 3pm and still had so many variety of side dish items… banana leaf meal was very satisfying…

    The service was quite poor, and the food was not very tasty. I ordered moru ais, but it tasted old and spoiled, which was really disappointing. I regret ordering it. I hope the quality can be improved

    Proper banana leaf spread with plenty of variety. Everything was hearty and satisfying, but the rasam really stood out — light, comforting, and hit the spot.

    The food was fantastic. Experience different culture . Recommend their ketam curry if you can handle spicy. The boss was very nice and friendly. Very approachable to customers
