Nasi Kandar Line Clear

Don’t let the shabby exterior of this nasi kandar joint fool you. Reputedly one of the oldest surviving nasi kandar outlets in Penang, it started way back in 1947. With the perfect balance of spices in their curries, some have sworn their nasi kandar to be the best in the country.

The Nasi Kandar Line Clear is one of the must try places in Penang. U may queue at the counter for "kuah taruh atas" style or call for the separate dishes and they will serve at your table.

The line , clearly long, indicates the popularity of the place. If you thought the line was bad, get ready for the table hunt! Be prepared to see a lot of grime. The Nasi Kandar is tasty.

Nicky Haznick

..tasted it couple of times and my verdict..curries a bit strong and plus..while you're havin' your meal..might be lucky to see ratatouille(rats) size of contander!..plus rice a bit soggy..

Gary Hor

The fish roe and fried chicken are my favourites. Pile on a mixture of gravy for that extra kick. They have tomato rice on certain days, ask beforehand.

Mohd Asfiyak Md Nasir

This is one of the most best nasi kandar in town . You have to line up for your dinner . Many variety of curry to choose. Locate at the center of the town . Easy to go.

Great food. One of the better nasi kandar stalls I have tried. Like it because the sauce is not that spicy which caters to different types of taste

Nowadays got parking lot to park your vehicle & walk along the backstreet behind the restaurant & it's really convenience for patron. Verily enjoyable the foods in here. It was awesome & truly penang!

Philip Lee

Photo looks bad I know. Tried this since everyone said it's good. I'd say meh. Had better ones in KL. In fact I had the best in Ampang and it originated from Kedah.

Joachim Ooi

My 2nd rank go-to Nasi Kandar after Deen Maju. The Kuah Campur here still has the spicy kick as compared to Deen Maju though. Fried chicken wise, still lose to Deen Maju. -Penang Kia Food Critique-

Will definitely stop by whenever I'm craving for Nasi Kandar. The customers comes from all walks of life. But the owner really need to look into cleanliness of the establishment.

Muzakkir Mohd Nor

If you are Nasi Kandar fan,this one should be in your list. Avoid coming during lunchtime as you will have to q under hot sun. Always ask for mixed curry as nasi kandar is all bout its mixed curry .

Had to walk through such a small lane for this super delicious nasi kandar...paid rm9.50.. which I think is totally worth it!

Rebecca Saw

Still good. Curries very tasty but fresh not only in terms of preparation but also in taste - non powdery kind. Ayam madu was tender and juicy to the bone!

Terror Risk

The queue is long and I hope it's worth the wait. Price almost the same as KL but overall, taste - price - service - environment - I would choose KL Nasi Kandar anytime. Cleanliness is vital

Nadya Za

If friday come early before 1pm otherwise you have to wait till 2pm. short break for Friday prayer. After 2pm full house!

Adam Md Shah

Another 'artisan ' and classic 1930 nasi kandar. Super delicious and damn cheap . Expect a long queue during peak hours; come in early morning instead b4 exploring penang.

Sara Y

The curry is just really spicy comparing to other Indian restaurant 's curry , the rice portion is alot for me. Ask for only vege and curry , that costs me RM2. Enjoy :D

Fatin

I ordered nasi briyani , lauk campur , ayam goreng and bendi and that's it. Yummy as heck!! Even the uncles who served me the food were so friendly to me. He made my day!

Eliot Tjoe

The ayam goreng and curry fish head is a must-try! I definitely recommend this place! :)

Ayu Hassan

my fav nasi kandar since dont know la. my ritual wud be nasi putih setengah, ikan bawal kari, daging hitam & telur goreng mata. the best!!

Lau

This year went twice after coming back from overseas.The curry chicken 's gravy seems to be "thinner" than it used 2b. And the rice was too moist.Not as good as b4. Curry daging still as tasty & tender

Afiq Helmi

The cuisine was so delecious! But its a bit expensive . 1plate cost about rm10.50. but its worth it

???????????? ????????????????????????????????

Its curry is really strong however when mix with sambal belacan , it turned out just fine. Drinks here like teh ais and nescafe ais are really really sweet, very kick la mamak !

Juliet Syafiqah

During lunch time mmg ramai. Kena jadi ganas sikit macam mafia cari tempat hahahaha. But when you taste the food, meleleh bak hang. You want it for the second third fourth time. Nora bagi 4 bintang!

Jo L

Go for the fried chicken and fish head curry . Reasonably priced.

Elyia Iryantie Othman

Wilson Tan

If you can handle spicy food this is the place you need to come!

Becca Orange

RM8.50 worth of rice , chicken and assorted curry gravy . Yummy!!

Kiera

I used to like this place a lot. A must place to visit whenever i go to Penang. But since the new management take over, the price increase & the food quality was not that good anymore. So bye2.

Amir Mirzaee

Tomato rice , the black chicken with roasted onions and all kinds of curry .

Nishant Krishnan

Aidu F

For someone who never finish her food, i wiped my plate clean today. That's how good the nasi kandar is here.

Wan Azman WM

Go early if you do not want to be disappointed. The food is amazingly yummy...

Konstandinos M

Spotted a rat while eating. If you're drunk you wont care, though. The currys here are amazing. Def need to try if you dont mind the rodents

Ting

Delicious nasi kandar, but very expensive !!

Alfredo K

Expensive if you take Prawns or Squid as part of the meal. Other dishes is within reasonable price.

James Lim

Try the Nasi Kandar - Not the cleanest place to have your rice but well , who says tasty food are supposed to be all clean ? :D
