They have the most professional waiters and amazing food selection. The cutleries and kitchen ware were amazing too. The starter, main course and dessert tasted phenomenal with meticulous presentation.

It’s been a while since I last posted a Google review, but this place really deserves it Super cozy vibes and such a pretty interior — very comfortable to chill and makan. The food was good, staff were friendly and welcoming, and best part… easy to find parking during weekends Will definitely come back again!

Incredible! We liked it so much that we had dinner here most nights during our stay. The best food we had in Penang, and the best curries I've ever had in my life! The fish curry was so delicious. Great service and 5 star yet relaxing atmosphere.

I enjoyed my time at Lili Restaurant in June. I had emping with sambal, Lili’s Fish Curry, Tiger Prawn Winged Bean, Crispy Skin Free Range Chicken, and Miso Roasted Cauliflower. The sambal was flavourful, the fish tender, and the chicken succulent. I would recommend all of these dishes. The service was also excellent. Arash and Shafiee were attentive, patient, and engaged us in light-hearted conversation.

Credits to the Lili staff at The Millen Hotel Penang, Mr. Firdaus, Mr. Zakwan, and Mr. Jason, for their wonderful service at the restaurant. Mr. Firdaus surprised us with three brownies as an anniversary gift from the restaurant. When I thanked him with a big smile, he humorously said, “You forgot ah? Hahaha!” It truly made our day. The food was good and nicely seasoned, perfect for us as we prefer lighter flavours and healthy meals. Thank you, Lili, and the lovely team for such a pleasant dining experience.
