"This shop is on the pricier side for a 2pax ikan pari but it is worth it, the ikan pari was fresh and fully spiced up better than the ones you can get near the Penang highway or under the bridge. Sadly the amount and variety of fish is limited, but understandable for a small business stall. We didn’t took any photos because we we’re hungry. We took RM40 ikan pari 2 pax comes with 2 plates of white rice but not the whole salad like advertised, just a piece or two salad decoration. I would like to say the ambience is nice and the surroundings are clean and spacious, just a little heaty because there are other stalls in the cafe! Would come back here again for another fish treat , recommended to anyone that stays near Georgetown."

"I had the pleasure of dining at Bismillah Cafe recently, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! Here’s a quick highlight of the dishes we ordered and absolutely loved: 1. Hokkien Mee – A standout dish! It’s made by a Chinese-Muslim cook, and the flavors were just perfect. 2. Chicken Chop – The taste was as good as what you’d expect from a top-notch hotel. Truly impressive. 3. Cekodok – Surprisingly delicious! It’s rare to find someone selling cekodok at night, but this cafe nailed it. Ampa kena try! 4. Maggie Goreng – Don’t be fooled by its plain appearance ,the flavor is incredible. I think it will be better with Teloq goyang. The only downside is the limited parking, but that’s understandable given the location. If you’re looking for a place with great food and a cozy atmosphere, I highly recommend visiting Bismillah Cafe. Come and try la sekali!"
