Dawood was one of the classic eateries which dominated the Indian restaurant scene in Penang from the 50s, 60s through to the 70s. Its competitors included Ghani, Meerah and Hameediyah.
Only Hameediyah (Est. 1907) remained today, although its offerings have now turned to nasi kandar - the popular one-dish lunch plates which Malaysians from other states travel to Penang to eat.
