Numeral Eight Curry House SDN BHD — Restaurant in Kedah

Top rated Curry House in Alor Setar. Very famous and packed during lunch. Many of their signature dishes like curry prawn, curry fish head, curry mutton, unique dry long fish, bendi and terung, etc. are very good, no regrets. Suggest to come here before 1230pm, else everything might running out of stock during peak lunch hour. The ambient is very cozy with a lot of "natural" decorations, even inside their toilet. Table is big, so that it can fit all the foods that you ordered.Three of us ordered almost eight dishes. This was the first visit after two years of pandemic. Parking is easy at the roadside, but you might need to park a bit further during peak hour. Price is on the high side. Food portion is small but sufficient, else you can ordered double. Drink limited to what their "drink of the day". But if you taken their "Strong Kick Sambal", be ready to drink a few more cups. Even my Indian friend said it was a real kick for him. This place is strongly recommended for Kari Lovers, if you are not keen on spicy food, there are many others recommendation...

Alor Star seems to have a large number of fish head curry shops choices. This is definitely one of the more well known ones.

I like the atmosphere. It's simple, doesn't overload your senses. Tables are comfortably distanced. You don't feel cramped and claustrophobic. It's quite open and airy. The fans give a good breeze and keeps the air moving

Coming to the fish head curry, it's spicy. Don't get me wrong, it's delicious. But whew, it's spicy! It's oily as all red curries are. But the flavors are excellently balance. Well mixed. And definitely packs a punch. The fish head is also well timed and well cooked. Not to mention fresh.

The spicy squid is also well cooked. Again, a bit hot. The sauce or heavy is thick and pumped but again a bit in the spicy side. Ordered the salad looking brinjals and okra. Simple taste. The chicken is a dry to my liking. A bit overcooked. But taste adequately seasoned. There are many other dishes to choose from but didn't have enough mouths to...

Worst curry in 2025. Worst service too. Give a rice very small, I go ask the staff you give me so small portion of rice? She answered: What you want? I speechless look at her... then she ask me: You ask for small rice is it? I said noooo . Then she press my rice with a plastic container and just add a spoon of rice in my plate.

Order at counter like the normal economy rice, all the staff sitting there play phone. 🤦

Curry fish head a lots of shattered bone in it. Curry very watery. Got fish scales inside too. 🤦

Won't come here ever again.😮‍💨
