Young man Adam was excellent in his service. He poured tea into your tea cups and was very polite and attentive.

✨ Thirty-one years strong and still authentic 🇮🇳, this local gem delivers rich, aromatic curries 🍛 that honour traditional flavours and craftsmanship 👨🍳. The spice balance 🌶️ feels thoughtful, not overpowering, while the setting remains warm and unpretentious 🕯️. Whether you’re in for chicken tikka 🍗 or a vegetarian korma 🥦, it’s true Indian comfort at its best!!

I dropped into Danny’s Kopitiam for lunch and left with the unshakable feeling that I’d just eaten at the happiest intersection between Penang and paradise. The place hums with charm — part café, part time machine, and wholly delightful.
The combination hor fun was so good I briefly considered proposing to it, and the char kway teow had more personality than most dinner parties I’ve attended. It’s smoky, saucy, and slightly indecent — just the way noodles should be.
But the real star of the show — the prima donna of the dessert world — is the sago pudding. It arrived modestly, glistening like a diplomat’s handshake, and tasted like summer got a postgraduate degree in comfort.
The service? Impeccable. The kind of warmth that makes you feel like you’ve wandered into a relative’s kitchen — the one who actually likes you.
Danny’s Kopitiam isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an argument for joy. And like all great arguments, I left full, happy, and entirely convinced.

The food at La Chanh is very tasty, and I love that they offer great vegan and vegetarian options.
The staff is super friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better.
The place is clean and quiet, so it’s easy to have a conversation and enjoy your meal comfortably. Highly recommended!
