Nagore Road (Jalan Nagor), George Town

Nagore Road, or Jalan Nagor, is one of the minor roads in George Town. It runs in a single direction from Hutton Lane to Burmah Road, and is intersected somewhere near the middle by Bawasah Road.
Nagore Road is lined with Straits-style double-storey terrace houses. Many of these, originally residential, have been converted into restaurants and food and beverage outlets. The houses here have beautiful façades with their walls and five-foot-ways embellished with floral tiles in the Nyonya style.

Nagore Road was named after Nagore, a town in Nagapattinam District in Tamil Nadu, India. This is because there used to be an Indian Muslim settlement towards Hutton Lane.
