Deens Maju Nasi Kandar

Great Nasi Kandar. Queue to get served. If it's raining, bring an umbrella and if you are allergic to the sun like a vampire, bring an umbrella. The queues can be long but don't be deterred. Didn't try the lamb shank goreng(fried) but will do it next time. The lamb curry is flavourful and just nice spicy. Fried chicken drumsticks a bit dry but tasty all the same. The taste of the food leans towards the sweeter side of neutral hence only 4* from me. Place is relatively clean and ample seating since they expanded to yet another shop house. For the ice cream people who melt in the heat, there are limited air conditioned dining spaces. Overall, a great place to experience Nasi Kandar in Penang.

Having dinner at Deens Maju felt like joining a Penang ritual — queue first, eat later. The line was crazy long, but with good company it didn’t feel like such a drag. Staff kept things moving and were friendly despite the chaos. When the plate landed, it looked like a masterpiece, drenched in kuah campur. Taste-wise though, it was more hype than punch — the curry felt a bit watered down and the flavours didn’t wow me. In Malaysia, queues don’t always equal greatness, but the vibe here still made it an experience worth having once.

WOW. What an incredible dining experience. The flavors here are STELLAR. Yes, it’s heavy and it’s oily, but you will love it. I did!! One of the best meals I had in Malaysia.

The queue is long but fast service. The room was big, so you'll get table. Went there at 8.30 pm and still a lot of people to wait. The taste was good. My first time tried nasi kandar so i can't compare how good this nasi kandar is. Overall was good!

Worth the hype. Probably the best meal I had in Penang. Generous with the gravies. Delicious meats and a large selection to choose from. I enjoyed the Quail eggs. A must try in Penang.

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.

passes by without much queue at odd hours, decided to try out due to good review. good tasting food, nice open space to dine. hands washing point available for those who prefer to touch their food.
