A local market which suitable for local and tourist to come and enjoy shopping, eating or just for leisure sightseeing. Great ambiance for shopping local items and taste the great local dish. Bring extraoney is a great advice to give 😂.. Near to mosque and heritage attractions at the city centre. Public transport also easy to get.

This is a very interesting market to visit. Most of the stalls are managed by women. You can buy many local stuffs here from daily necessities, clothes, food, fruits etc. Interestingly, some of the things here are quite cheap. It's a one of the must-see places when in Kota Bharu

Really great local market and tourist friendly too. Anything from wet groceries to clothes and even exotic food can be found here. Got local traditional goods sold here. You can haggle for lower price.

Interesting place but in terms of cleanliness is not satisfactory. I first went to Pasar Siti Khadijah Kota Bharu. In my opinion this place is not suitable for tourists. Only suitable for buying daily wet goods. I hope the State Council can upgrade this market to attract foreign tourists.

💢 This is a must visit place if you are tourist as this is one of the iconic of Kelantan. Come early in the morning to witness the bustling of the market. Came late but still operating. There are lots of sections. For this photo spot, you may go up until level 2 to capture this shot. Go to the center of the circle.

One of the last few places we visited in Kelantan was the Pasar Siti Khadijah Market. We always say that the food selections available in the market always reflect the destination’s culture and way of living. True enough, after visiting Pasar Siti Khadijah Market, I can attest that the food and culinary offerings of this place clearly tells us that the culture and traditions of Kelantan are very much colorful and interesting.

A very beautiful combined wet and dry market with all other kinds of retails like the sarongs, shoes, home accesories, toys and etc. It is easily one of the biggest and organized market in Malaysia, where u can get almost everything for your normal household usage. Some of the items are really nostalgia, reminiscent of your childhood time. The design of the market is colourful and airy to make you have a better grocery and household shopping experience!

This market is a must-visit for first-timers in Kelantan, almost serving as an iconic location. Whether you're interested in shopping or photography, it offers a unique experience. While the market is old and hygiene standards may not be high, the sellers are extremely friendly. We couldn't resist purchasing some keropok ikan and a pack of Thai fragrant rice 😆 to take home. In terms of pricing, we attempted to negotiate, but most stalls had fixed prices. Unlike other wet markets I've visited in different countries, there was no starting with a high price for bargaining purposes.

A must place visit to shop many kinds of needs from wet food, dry food, vegetables, kelantan special spices, foods like nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, laksa / laksam, kueh mueh such as jalanmas, buah tanjung, taik itik and many more. To the woman accessories, batik, songket and men’s batik shirt. The most important is the price very reasonable.

This market is a treasure trove of delights, offering everything from fresh produce to hardware and gifts. Not a highlight of my visit was the wet food section, where you can find an array of fresh fish, chicken, and more. I always seemed to enter the market through the fish stalls, which added an unexpected splash, and smell of adventure to my shopping experience! LOL.🤣 The market also boasts numerous fruit stalls, tempting you with their colourful displays. Upstairs, you'll find a variety of food stalls offering delicious local cuisine that will tantalise your taste buds. Overall, Siti Khadijah Market is a must-visit destination in Kota Bharu, offering a lively atmosphere and diverse goods.🤗🤗🤗

As the daughter of a Kelantanese man, it is utterly sad to see how unkempt, dirty, half-empty, and dark this market has become. I brought my non-Malaysian husband here, and I felt ashamed to show him this, but he insisted on coming to see the market that has been named after the first wife of Rasulullah SAW. Even Siti Khadijah RA would be embarrassed to have this market named after her. Please, local government, do something. Stop bringing bad vibes to the religion.

Embarking on a weekend journey to Kota Bharu with my wife and friends, we eagerly delved into the local experience at Siti Khadijah Market—a top-rated destination for authentic products. Nestled in the city center, the market's vastness was immediately apparent, surrounded by ample free parking. Despite parking a bit farther due to the morning rush, the journey proved worthwhile. The market's diversity impressed us, featuring sections dedicated to fruits, vegetables, hawker stalls, desserts, traditional clothes including batik and fabrics, a wet market, herbs and spices, as well as cafes and restaurants. Our exploration stretched for a delightful half-day, during which my wife's enthusiasm for shopping was commendable—I had to intervene to prevent an entire day spent in retail therapy! 😆 After our extensive tour, we opted for a brunch featuring Kelantan's renowned dish, laksam. Recommendations led us to Cek Yoh Cafe on the first floor, where we relished a generously portioned bowl. The laksam's flavors were delightful, especially the rich soup and well-prepared vegetables. While transactions leaned towards cash, with some offering interbank transfers, e-wallet usage was relatively low. The market, in general, appeared somewhat humid and less pristine, possibly deterring international tourists. However, as locals, we found the atmosphere acceptable. Enhancements in cleanliness and ambience could undoubtedly elevate its appeal, making it more welcoming to tourists from around the globe in the future.

Istana Jahar Museum is a historic building constructed by the Sultan in the 1800s, which now houses valuable royal artifacts of Kelantan. This palace-turned-museum boasts displays of antique weapons and traditional attire worn by royalty. The iconic structure remains unchanged over time and includes a royal balcony that offers visitors a glimpse into the past while observing British and Japanese invasions.
It is a Royal palace I visited with my fellow colleagues who participated in a workshop in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. As everything else in Kota Bharu, this palace is no exception; very interesting. We can't go inside though to see up and close. The palace is well built and nicely decorated.

Wonderful place to visit in Kota Bahru if you have the time. It's a small Istana for the Kelantanese Royalty, built in 1887 under local architecture. Originally built for the Baginda Long Kundor, the Regent who succeeded to be the Sultan. Beautiful Malay carvings throughout with cast iron circular staircase and a magnificent anjung. Now housed a museum of Adat (culture) of the Royal family with well made descriptions. 2 ringgit entrance fee. Also houses a separate weapons gallery behind the main building. You can also see a Royal Boat, a gift from King Chulalongkorn to the Kelantan Sultan on his visit.

A must visit place when you are in Kota Bharu. Espceially if you love old palaces and you love architecture and the wood carving art. They have many regalia and display but labels are not really well written. They should've have put more information or give pamphlets for tourist to learn more.

See brief history of Kelantan royalty at this museum. Artifacts on display include royal dresses, ceremonies, weapons etc. A decent sized museum, you may see all in less than 2 hours max.
Healme O. — Google review
It used to be a royal palace, then became a ceremonial palace. And that's what the exhibition inside is all about. Entry is RM2 for adults and RM 1 for children. Foreigners pay double price. Nice to see inside the architecture. But unsure whether the different rooms originally existed or are just built up to showcase the different ceremonies. It's rather hot in the museum with only a few fans. Wonder how they can preserve their exhibits under such conditions. The english explanations are in red on yellow background, which is more difficult to read. Moreover they are lowly placed so one has to bend over all the time. There is not much to see in Kota Bharu and so this place is one of the wortwhile visits.

Muzium Diraja Istana Batu is a former royal palace showcasing the personal belongings and mementos of the Kelantan Sultanate. It offers visitors an interesting insight into the life of royalty and features exhibits such as royal souvenirs. The museum is well-maintained, clean, organized and has many exhibits. It provides a great opportunity to learn about the history of the Kelantanese royal family. The palace itself is yellow in colour and built with stone.
It's a very beautiful place. One can find very interesting, unique and antique objects inside. It's surrounded by other royal family palaces. Opposite this museum located one of the largest and beautiful Masjid Mohammadi. It's one of must visit places in the Kelantan state.

Interesting look into the life of royalty. The exhibits such as the royal souvenirs could be better labelled. Some of the rooms did not have enough ventilation. Otherwise one of the most-sees of Kelantan. The museum is well maintained, clean, organized and cool (not hot). There are many exhibits in the museum. It's the best place to know history of Kelantan royal family. The palace is yellow in colour & made by stone

Was here in May 2023. This museum showcases the life of the royal family in Kelantan. The complaints I have are the lack of ventilation (it was the heatwave period) and maintenance (some exhibits are dusty). It is also nearby of of the city's attraction.

The Royal Museum (Muzium Diraja Istana Batu) It was built in 1939 under the reign of Sultan Ismail I of Kelantan (1920-1944), as a wedding gift for his nephew Yahya Petra (1960-1979) whom was the eventual successor of Kelantan. It has a pale yellow structure and served as the palace for crown's prince. It was then donated to the state and now it's open to public for viewing. The richly furnished rooms will give you a glimpse into the past royal life.

Kelantan State Museum, located in the capital city of Kota Bharu, is housed in a colonial-era building and offers a glimpse into the state's rich cultural heritage. The museum showcases traditional attire, weaponry, and other artifacts that tell the story of Kelantan's past. Visitors can explore exhibits that highlight the diverse cultural tapestry of the region. While some visitors found certain exhibitions contemporary with limited explanations, others appreciated the opportunity to see precious and historical objects such as jewelry and clothing.
It's a very interesting place to visit. Specially for those who like to see precious, antique, royal and historical objects including jeweleries, clothing etc. It's a must visit place.

For a museum that is supposedly representing the state I can say that I am a bit disappointed. A small upper ground hall holds the exhibition on the many traditional performances that makes Kelantan world-class. But I've seen better presentation in several institutional museum in the country. Only the diorama on Gua Cha exhibiting the history of the state which can be traced as far as the Hoabinhian culture. Yes the museum is small and several features of the states are displayed at the nearby museums but there is so much that can be done inside. And Kelantan is a state rich in history, nature, tradition.

The actual museum is really good. Before this we went for this special event with penguins and it was a bad impression. But the 3 decades of Kelantan was really informative for people who don't follow Kelantan progress alot. So it was a good catch up session too. Tuan Guru Dato' Nik Aziz seems to be the pillar of what Kelantan is and it's impressive. Also during this period it is free.

One of my favourite childhood restaurants at Jalan Temenggong, Kota Bharu. I came back to this restaurant the last few days after my last visit for more than a decade. To my disappointment, the restaurant service is very bad. I was sitting for quite a while and nobody come to serve. I go to look for someone to place an order but see just an uncle busy going around without service my table consisting of 4 persons. Looking at the situation, we understand the situation and continue to wait with patience. After a while, still, no one come to take the order, After a few minutes, I overheard customers at another table saying the chicken chops still haven't come after a long wait. The customer walked to the counter and reminds the operator that he had waited for almost 45mins and had only been told now that the food he ordered was not available. We realized we may have the same fate, and since we have a flight to catch, we just walk out and look for an alternative place for a meal. Am surprised as this restaurant which is also getting a good rating on TripAdvisor provided such a bad service. However, having said that I wouldn’t pass judgment just yet on how good or bad this restaurant is. Seeing the restaurant operated by 1 person (which could be the owner himself), my hunch told me that the owner may face a staffing issue, or probably his staff is on leave, or something. I will probably pay another visit when I am in Kota Bharu (and likely be the final time if the condition is still the same)

Growing up eating at the place, we’re looking forward for every Friday night to have the tomato chicken chop. That was 30 years ago where Suntwo are the only chicken chop in town and not many establishment provides decent indoor spaces for family gathering. But as I grow up, tried many awesome foods both kelantan, KL, other states, I came to realise the restaurant are not that tasty. It’s generally 60% hype and nostalgia, 30% friendly owner, 10% location. Will I ever come again? yes. Once a month? No. Maybe 2 years once If im hungry and Im staying nearby with no car to move around. Chicken chop sauce was overwhelmed by Sunkist orange syrup, tomyam are just to put it simply…edible.

Yati Ayam Percik is a popular choice for Nasi Kerabu enthusiasts due to its unique authenticity and deliciousness. The restaurant's specialty, "ayam percik," is known for its tender and juicy grilled chicken with a coconut-based spice sauce. The secret to their flavorful chicken lies in the special coconut cream and blended spices thick sauce used during grilling. Despite some comments about the service, visitors highly recommend trying the ayam percik when visiting Kelantan.
If you only have one day here, this place is a MUST to try! The ayam percik is superbly done, you get that smokey flavor on top of the savory percik sauce. Order nasi kerabu ayam percik and you wont be disappointed! Every time i visit Kelantan i will drop by this shop!

The restaurant is really Eco-friendly. The environment is nice, well-balanced and the decoration and designs are pretty nice. I went before but I'd say this place is well-known by local people around here. The foods got a lot of choice and you can spontaneously choose whatever you heart desires. The foods were really delicious and kinda spicy. The spices, the ingredients are well-mixed and the mixture of the dishes are nice. Nice chef/chefs! The libations were normal and typical like other common restaurant. The price is really affordable. This restaurant is great for family gathering and group gathering. It's cozy enough for gathering! The service is kinda slow and the facilities is kinda bad. Need to improve more including hygiene section. Other than that, I satisfied with this! Recommended though <3

On Friday, they only open for dining after 2 pm. After negotiation the staff let us to dine in. At 11.30 am, the cooking and grilling of the chicken, fish, just began and everything serve at our table is hot and fresh. Their specialty "ayam percik" ( grilled chicken with coconut base spice sauce) is really delicious, tender and juicy. Daging bakar or grilled meat not so tender and need to chew a lot of time. My comment is their waiter is quite rude and very cynical when anwering our question during order. Need to improve his manner. The cleanliness of this place also need to improve especially if you want to show a good example to outsider.

Although slightly pricier than other options, the food is worth the extra cost. The restaurant's operating hours are from 3:30 pm to 11:30 pm on Wednesdays to Mondays.
Tasty halal Chinese seafood in KB. Fast & attentive service. Must try for visitors to KB.

Food was great. I highly liked the Tom Yum 😋 We had a feast for 8 pax, with package total of RM498. Wish they could serve free desserts/fresh fruits alongside with package. I had arrived at merely 8.45pm, and surprisingly, the restaurant was about to close at 9pm 😅 (too early i guess). Yet there still people at dining. Extended up to 9.30pm and then, everyone gotta leave. Didn't manage to eat everything at once, as too exhausted & ran out of time.

Was there for iftar few days ago. The meals were scrumptious. We got there at 7pm & the foods were almost all ready on the table. The price was reasonable The only drawback was the music/radio was too loud and the place was packed. Not a comfortable place for you if you are looking for peaceful environment

Excellent food and very friendly place with the owner coming to greet us personally. Enjoyed a set dinner in this with our family. Love to go back there.

Wonderful food. Slightly higher priced compared to other places but worth the extra dimes. All the food items we ordered were excellent. But the best was the steamed nyonya deep sea barramundi fish (siakap). This is a special item. The deep sea barramundi is definitely tastier than the same fishe from fish farming.

Halal Chinese restaurant. Signature curry fish is good. Salted egg sotong taste superb. The fish and sotong are fresh. Keng som taste normal, got another shop serve best Keng Som in Kota Bahru.

Golden City Restaurant is a relaxed spot in Kota Bharu, Malaysia, where visitors can enjoy a few beers and good food. The owner is known for being friendly and welcoming, adding to the inviting atmosphere. The restaurant offers reasonably priced drinks and a cozy environment to chill out with friends. Guests have praised the grilled chicken and pork loin dishes for their superb taste, which are best enjoyed with cold draught beer. Additionally, the snack menu offers various options with custom-made sauces that perfectly complement each dish.
Finally found a bar in Kota Bharu. Wide selection of food. Food was good except the chicken breast was a little dry. Other than that, would come here again if I'm in KB. Servers were really friendly and attentive.

Nice ambience. But lack of choices for drink... Addition of German beer will be fantastic

Just a poor bar with air con. Better off going to the multiple coffee shops that sell a variety of food and beer.vyou pay for the beer separately from the multiple food people, who cook great food, to order for low price. Plus in most, if you sit in the right place, you can eat, drink and smoke without moving .

5 stars for the fact that it was my first fresh pint from a draft machine since more than 2 months and I was really far from expecting this! The place is cozy and really perfect to enjoy fresh beers! Happy hours before 9pm at real food price. Highly recommended.

A nice place to chill up and have dinner. The owner is very friendly, chatting with us, and letting us know how they marinate their chicken or pork. We ordered grilled chicken and pork loin. Both of them are superb in taste. The cafe environment is impressively splendid ( at least in kelantan). The food is best served with cold chilled draught.

Must order every choice in Snack menu, each one of them comes with different sauce that’s perfect match. Can even taste the great passion of the owner custom-making sauce. High grade Guinness, cozy environment.

My friends and I came over to Kota Bahru for a function and we were from KL and this was our first time in Kota Bahru and we didnt know where to go for beers. It was late afternoon we decided to go to a relaxed place to have a few beers and this place came up. I have to personally say that my friends and me enjoyed the place and the owner was really friendly and welcoming. The pricing is reasonable. We didn't have any food here so I wouldn't be able to comment on this portion.

The Wau Restaurant, established in 2010, offers a delightful ambiance and a comfortable atmosphere. The eatery provides an extensive range of delectable dishes at reasonable prices. It is conveniently accessible with ample parking spaces nearby. From breakfast to late-night dining, the restaurant caters to various preferences with its diverse menu options. Notably, their Thai cuisine and local delicacies are highly recommended.
The food here is simply lovely! Tastes the red tomyam soup. The spiciness is just right, not invasive unlike others. Brings you to the right crescendo and leaves the tomyam aftertaste that is very much sought after!

So many 1 star review. Apparently, they aren't wrong. The grilled chicken served to me taste like raw and not properly cooked. Tauhu Begedil was alright. Definitely not recommended for a visit here! Many better restaurants out there 😡

If I could give less than 1 star for the food, I would. The place and ambience was nice. I ordered seafood tom yam, colek perut and kerabu soo hoon. Colek perut: 3/5 Kerabu soo hoon: 3/5 Seafood tom yam: 0/5 ( seafood was off and somehow seeped into the soup, really tasted the prawn and squid that was not fresh, despite the herbs and chillies )

The place got pretty crowded as the night wore in. So I guess it's a popular place for dinner on a Friday as most shops are closed here. Personally, I wasn't too happy with what was served to me and fam. My nephew was served cold slices of chicken. They only heated the butter for it. The rice was cold as well. I ordered chicken chop but the only dressing for it was pepper (I don't do pepper). Please consider to do mushroom sauce as well. My daughter ordered Mee Hoon soup and it was filled with chilli padi(birds eye chilli). Should have given the option for customers to add it in or leave it aside. Other than that.. they have a variety of cakes to choose from. PS: please do something about the nails on the walls where you hang the mirrors. It is protruding out and it scratched my daughter on her back. It is a hazard.

Restoran tu look mcm 3 star. But I don't know what's wrong. Tiap kali dtg mmg rasa tu mmg not worthy. Sorry not sorry, but i have to being honest, hopefully they could improve. Harga dah ala-ala overpriced (I'm well aware with bahan mentah punye increasing price in Malaysia) I guess it's totally not for us. What i meant is, klu price mahal, tapi berbaloi dgn makanan, we don't even mind pun. Ordered was bland. Lack of taste. I wish they would taste themselves before serving. Mango smoothie rm15 but mango tawar, smoothie mcm air blend letak cordial👎 Meatballs keras kejung berminyak. My dad first time order kopi o, and he said "lecah", even kedai kopi kampung did better.

Bad service! Owner pls take action. Food & drinks, expensive. who on earth sells carrot juice for RM14.50? Nasi goreng was ok and portion is quite alot but taste is mediocre. You have to write your own order lol. So much for an expensive restaurant. Staff aren't well mannered. trainings needed. I came with 11 of us, and i have been calling for the staff to joint our tables but they just stood there like im invisible. When we asked abt the type of colek they have, waiter was like "ha taknak banyak amik yg biasa jelah". Wth haha When the waiters serve our food, they just came, put it on my table, and go. Didn't even explain what just arrived. When i ask them, they didn't even know. Had to yell to her friend at the back to ask. Funny isn't it? Don't be fooled with the bright ambience, it's actually quite dirty. Chairs are worn out, floors kinda oily. Definitely will not repeat.

Haha not for me. I came from KL to Kelantan and our last stop for a day was here. They gave a book of menu which totally like dictionary with lots waste of info. They could combine together in one menu and easy for customers to see. Plus, dont give us the menu that not in stock. Wasting. Grouping in front of the counter? Talking to each other and staring at customers? Overall, it is bad

From morning till late night can have food over here. Should try thai food and also the local delights served. enjoy your meal

Nice foods as always but make sure they give you the correct change if you were to pay using RM100 since they would probably assume it to be RM50. Happened to me twice. Edit: Sat there for over ten minutes and no one came to serve. Bad service.

Used to be a popular eating place. The food served are mostly local food n some western food. Some of the food is way too pricy eg lemon chicken rice. You get 3 or 4 small pcs of chicken n not worth the price. I hope the management will review the food served n the prices.
