Nasi Kandar Nasmir (Bandar Cassia) — Restaurant in Penang

The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the signature dishes - Fried Catfish, Beef, and Boiled Egg with Mix Curry. The Fried Catfish was a revelation! The fish was expertly cooked to a perfect crispness, and the blend of spices used in the coating gave it a delightful kick. The Beef with Mix Curry was a true delight. The tender, succulent pieces of beef melted in my mouth, and the curry sauce was a symphony of flavors - aromatic and rich without being overpowering. It perfectly complemented the meat and left me craving more with every bite. The Boiled Egg with Mix Curry was a pleasant surprise. The eggs were boiled to perfection, and the curry sauce added a wonderful depth of flavors to the dish. It was a comforting and satisfying addition to the meal. What sets Nasi Kandar Nasmir apart is their evident dedication to quality ingredients and meticulous preparation. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavors. The mix curry used in all three dishes was the real star - a harmonious blend of spices that elevated the entire...

Makanan di restoran ini memang sangat sedap — tiada sebarang keraguan tentang itu dan memang patut diberi pujian. Namun begitu, ada ruang untuk penambahbaikan dari segi perkhidmatan, terutamanya dalam aspek latihan pekerja.

Semasa kunjungan kami, masalah utama yang dihadapi ialah kesukaran berkomunikasi, terutamanya dengan pekerja asing yang kelihatan tidak faham asas bahasa Melayu. Ketika kami pertama kali bertanya mengenai makanan (minuman) yang belum dihidangkan, pekerja tersebut kelihatan keliru dan hanya menggunakan isyarat tangan, tetapi masih tidak memahami apa yang kami maksudkan. Dia juga hanya menunjuk-nunjuk kepada makanan yang sudah sampai di meja. Kami kemudian membuka menu dan menunjukkan dengan jelas apa yang belum dihantar, tetapi pekerja itu tidak pun melihat betul-betul dan hanya menjawab "faham" — tetapi selepas itu menghantar makanan lain yang langsung tidak dipesan.

Kali kedua, kami terus ke kaunter untuk bertanya, dan mendapati dalam sistem pesanan terdapat makanan tambahan yang kami tidak pesan, manakala minuman yang memang kami pesan dari awal pula tidak dihantar. Pekerja yang sama datang semula dan berkata akan menyelesaikannya, tetapi minuman itu masih belum sampai sehinggalah kami bertanya sekali lagi.

Pengalaman makan secara keseluruhan agak terjejas disebabkan masalah kecil ini. Saya amat berharap pihak restoran dapat mempertingkatkan latihan kepada pekerja, terutamanya pekerja asing, sekurang-kurangnya supaya mereka dapat memahami perkataan asas bagi memberikan perkhidmatan yang lebih baik kepada pelanggan.

The food at this restaurant is truly delicious — no doubt about that, and it deserves full recognition. However, there’s definitely room for improvement when it comes to service, especially in terms of staff training.

During our visit, the main issue we faced was a communication breakdown, particularly with foreign staff who seemed unable to understand basic Malay. When we first asked about a missing dish (drink), the staff member appeared confused, using gestures but not understanding what we were saying. They kept pointing to food that had already been served. Even after we opened the menu and clearly pointed out what was missing, the staff didn't really look and simply said they understood — but then brought us a completely different dish that we didn’t order.

The second time, we went directly to the counter and discovered that an extra dish had somehow been added to our order, while the drink we originally ordered hadn’t been served. The same staff member said they would handle it, but the drink still didn’t arrive until we asked again.

These small issues affected the overall dining experience. I sincerely hope the restaurant will provide better training, especially for foreign workers — at least to help them understand basic keywords, so they can serve customers more...

We went in, the interior design is stunning. Tiles, materials colours etc. But the FLIES. Omg. The floors were dirty. Tables seats all dirty. It was quite disgusting but we had no choice cuz we were just too tired to go anywhere. Service was ok. Not so friendly though. But flies were just disgusting..i wonder what the kitchen part is, i wonder if the food is even safe to eat. Even the baby chairs were so dirty. Toilet dirty. Food taste was decent but i was so bothered by the flies. They had plenty of staffs. They were NOT short-staffed. Update : my husband had food poisoning from there. Perhaps someone should make aduan to jabatan kesihatan. And the funny part is, their staff is replying to each of the reviews and the same comments about the flies has been there for months. Seems like they aren't doing...
