If you're on the hunt for an unforgettable culinary experience in Alor Setar, look no further than Curry Fish Head. Nestled at 13, Jalan Sultanah, Taman Mutiara, this restaurant has earned its reputation as a must-visit destination for seafood enthusiasts and curry lovers alike.
The star of the show here is undoubtedly the signature curry fish head. Guests are offered a unique opportunity to choose from the fish head, body, or tail, making it a personalized dining experience. Depending on the catch of the day, diners may be served an impressive fish head that can weigh in at over 5 kilograms! In our visit, we opted for the fish “meat,” which came as a generous slice of fish abdomen, ample enough to satisfy a group of five.
The curry itself is a sumptuous affair, rich with the sweetness of coconut milk and crafted to perfection. While it does lean towards the milder side of spice – making it suitable for families with children – it remains deeply flavorful with each bite. The fusion of spices transports you to culinary heights, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to a memorable dining experience.
Aside from their curry fish head, the menu boasts other delightful dishes worth sampling. One standout is the fried ginger chicken, a signature dish that has won the hearts of many. However, you may want to keep in mind that portions of some dishes can be smaller compared to the curry offerings, but they are crafted with the same dedication to freshness and flavor.
For those considering dining here, do be prepared for a higher price point, which is reflected in the quality and freshness of the ingredients. It’s often noted that dining at Curry Fish Head can range upwards to M40, but the indulgence of their rich curry and fresh seafood makes it well worth the investment. The atmosphere is lively, and every visit offers a chance to create lasting memories around authentic Malaysian flavors.
In short, Curry Fish Head is not just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of Malaysian cuisine. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Kedah, make sure to experience the warmth and richness of their offerings.

Finally got the chance to try out their signature curry fish. You get to choose curry fish head, body or the tail.. Basically the fish head sort of depends on the catch of the day.... At times, the smallest fish head is already 5.3kg. We ordered fish 'meat' instead... They actually gave us a slice of fish abdomen instead. Quite a big piece, enough to feed a group of 5. Curry is very rich in coconut milk. Not very spicy suitable for children i guess. Try their fred squid. Portion is small, but taste is good.
