Place is clean. Food is yummy. Lots of sitting space. However, the queue can be very long especially on weekend, public holiday & school holiday. Parking can be a big problem. Price can be very steep. Other mamak stores are not as clean. Service was...fast.More

Came at about 5pm on weekday. There was queue but it was moving at good pace. Food served hot! Had fried chicken, squid and prawn. It was delicious! Price slightly pricey though but considering the portion was huge and taste was good. It was value...for money. There were plenty of available seats too.More

This is a tips a local gave me for stress-free dining: come immediately after Maghrib. This is when office workers would have gone home. Not too late as the dishes will be gone. The recommended dishes are pomfret curry, fried chicken, squid roe and coconut...chutney.More

Basically when we enter the restaurant we can see quite a lot of empty table so not sure what cause long queue. This is our...third time and they still maintain their taste.. but if you come with elderly or kids, i advise you not to come or just order from grabMore

1) 1st of all, u need to mentally prepare to see the longgggggggggg que. 2) Physically prepare to be in line for 20-30 min for your turn. hahahahaha 3) Please order MILO ICE. you will love it! Do not worry about the sitting spot as...they already expand their premises area. You will be seated in no time. Do go to DEEN Maju, It is worth it!More

I went to Deen Maju’s for lunch and the food there was extremely delicious as always but notch top of that, my friends and I rushed back to deen maju after 15minuted we left our table because we noticed we have missed our money envelopes....We rushed there & told the workers we are looking for the red envelopes. The workers even started to find inside the bin that fulls of leftover. They even took us at the back of the house to find inside the garbage bag that extremely fulls of leftover just to find our envelopes, we feels sorry & touched by looking at their sincere hearts to help us. Most shocking, their back of the house is super cleans & they really took care of cleanliness. I really recommended you guys to go to deens maju as their food really delicious & all the workers owns my respects! Thank you Deen Maju for great hospitality & services!!More

long queue but it is fast, the food is nice for Nasi Kandar lovers. It is a bit spicy for non-Malaysia I guest. The service is great.

My wife and I went here during the MCO and on weekdays. Arrived around 2PM and the queue is not long and systematic. Both of us order a set of rice with fried chicken and boiled eggs together with the mix gravy. Not a fan...of Nasi Kandar but sure it was tasty. The price is affordable and the menu is clear with the price list.More

Love the fried chicken, either with Nasi Dalca or Nasi Tomato, also fish curry and beef. All delicious. Best one in Penang. Delivery is better rather than long queue especially on weekend or holiday. Very recommended!

Worth the long queue. Ayam goreng rempah was good. Personally, I think this is the best nasi kandar in Penang.

So far, this Nasi Kandar restaurant is one of my favourite. Scrumptious yet inexpensive. Especially the aroma and taste of their curry. It was so addicted and satisfied! Luckily, I went on a rainy day so I don't have to queue for my turn.

One of the best nasi kandar in town. The price is affordable. But, you have to be patience as you need to queue and wait for your turn.

One thing about Deen Maju Nasi Kandar here is that the long queue you have to endure before getting really hungry (and greedy) and you will want to have everything that is sold at this restaurant! Brace yourself during hot weather and bring an umbrella...at the queue!More

If you are OCD about cleanliness just stay away and have your Nasi KandaQ at a 5 star hotels somewhere and stop complaining about cleanliness etc. What do you expect? The cleanliness is acceptable. I have sensitive Guts, Nope I did not suffer any Gastroenteritis....So it is safe. We were told that the queues and waiting hours for serving could go up to 2 hours. Now we were blessed cause there were not many people when we came. When is the right time? I dont know, we came at 1430 on a weekday. A wide selection of dishes and currys to choose from. Yes and they give a generous portion. Indulge yourself in the flavourful taste and colors of your dishes then onwards. Its your typical Kandaq style pick your protein and bath them with the curries and etc. Price: Quite reasonable a dish for two RM 12. Parking: Pretty difficult to look for one. Just grab D grab Tips: Cut your nails, washed your hand thoroughly, use your right hand and get dirty. Service Quality: Mamak style Cleanliness: 3/5 Diarrhoea risk: 0 Food Quality: Its #&#*;$ Good EnjoyMore
