Jalan Sri Bahari
Sri Bahari Road is named after the Sri Kunj Bihari Temple nearby, and shows that the British administrators are not very good and transcribing phonetics - after all, shouldn't it be Sri Bihari Road? It is a road linking Transfer Road to Penang Road.
The area from Sri Bahari Road right up to the Sri Kunj Bihari Temple was a settlement of North Indians from the Indian states of Bihar and Bengal. It intersects with the Malabari settlement of South Indians at the Dato Koyah Road junction.
Sri Bahari Road is popular among the local Penangites for the coffeeshop at its junction with Penang Road serving excellent Char Koay Teow and Loh Bak.
Getting there
Sri Bahari Road is a major bus route leading into Penang Road, and is served by Rapid Penang bus Nos. 11, 101, 103, 104, 201, 202, 203, 204 and 206.
