HALAL HALAL HALAL TOP 3 best nasi kandar you can ever find in PENANG, Georgetown. You absolutely must must must come and try here if u want authentic Penang nasi kandar. At peak time u have to que a bit but trust me, if ur reading this, u will not go wrong! So many YouTubers, bloggers, influencer come and review.. to each its own but a shop like this to have 11,000 reviews and still going strong. U are not wrong to bring ur family here. they have expanded a bit and the stalls are kept clean, just hoping they will repaint everything so that’s it’ll look brand new the shops. And the price amazingly kept affordable. Seriously good job management in keeping the true Penang kandar to it’s originality Ample parking across the streets or just before the junction as well. The food is just moist, the curry splendid, rice soft and glutinous, the salty eggs(telur masin) is just amazing and the kicap curry to top it off. Just go and try and thank me later.

This is the first time I come here based on recommendation. Yes, the taste is great. But, in selangor also have the similar taste as well. The chicken have similar taste to ayam berempah nasi kukus, the rice is normal and I tasted better, telur sitong is nice, the gravy is excellent. The queue was very long, but it only took about 20 minutes during peak hour. Would definitely come here again.

As we stepped in, the aroma of rich spices and freshly cooked dishes filled the air. We selected a variety of flavorful curries, fried chicken, and other side dishes to pair with the fragrant rice. The taste was absolutely amazing—each bite was packed with bold, authentic flavors that perfectly embodied the essence of Nasi Kandar. Despite the crowd, the service was efficient, and the food was well worth the wait. Our visit to Deen Maju was a delightful culinary experience, leaving us fully satisfied and eager to return for another round of this Penang favorite.

Food tastes quite good. Really what you would expect at a Nasi Kandar shop. And plus point, service is good & the line moves fast. Price is quite reasonable actually overall. Things they can improve/ cons: - not so easy to find Parking - Rice & Fried Chicken portion a bit less than expected Overall a good traditional & original place to visit for Nasi Kandar in Penang.

We went there for dinner on the Agong Public Holiday, luckily there was no queue. The food was absolutely delicious. Order 2 lamb shanks. The only challenge for us is the parking area.

A must visit restaurant in Penang and definitely if you are planning on trying Nasi Kandar. The service is quick and the wait staff is super friendly. I got the Set E which comes with mutton. I also asked for the fish plate later. Both were really good and they accept credit cards too.

The best street food we’ve ever had! We had to queue for quite a while but it was absolutely worth the wait. The Nasi Kansar is so tasty and the service was super quick. Would highly recommend going here whilst in Penang.
