Im loving it, my wife loves it, my kids digs it.. what more can i say? The queue was long, but very worth it. Fish curry and squid egg is the best dish you can have here. Fried chicken is awesome. Expect very long queue and limited dining place. Will come again later for sure.

In 1959, Mohd Raffe Restaurant opened its first location in Batu Gantong, Penang's racetrack, before relocating to Pulau Tikus in 1998. Despite its small size, this 24-hour shop lot outlet relies solely on fans for ventilation. Typical of a Mamak shop, the atmosphere is relaxed and lively, filled with customers and employees conversing incessantly. At night, tables are placed on the shop lot walkway and the street just in front of it to accommodate more customers and create an open-air dining atmosphere. According to a local, this is the nasi kandar outlet he has been a customer of since he was a child. If you are not from Penang, always take the advice of a Penangite when it comes to local cuisine. I have had nasi kandar at many places, but Raffe is my favorite. Raffe's curries and fried chicken are two of Penang's most popular dishes; whether you are a Penangite or a first-time visitor, you will enjoy the food at Raffee, and do not forget to practice physical distancing during the Covid-19 while visiting the famous Nasi Kandar Raffee 295-A Jalan Burma, Pulau Tikus 10350 George Town, Penang.

Whenever i'm in Penang I'm sure to drop by for food. Reached here at 930pm and we was lucky just a short queue in line. Just after few minutes later there was a long line in queue. Service at that time was fast and almost all the tables occupied. Their fried 1/4 chicken was juicy (just fried) Fish curry and chicken curry was superb and price very reasonable. Parking at the side of the road. Will repeat again on other dishes. Overall 9/10

I wanted to try Nasi Kandar, but I didn’t want to go to an overly popular place that tasted average. So I asked some locals and they recommend Raffee! I truly enjoyed the Nasi Kandar. The gravy worked well together and the add on chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. This is definitely a place to check out if you want to try good Nasi Kandar.

Nasi Kandar, ubiquitous with Penang, can be found on almost any street in Penang. Most of them are pretty good, as there seems to some kind of "generic" taste to the curries served. So why are some more popular than others? Mohamed Raffee, or locally known as Raffee, has been in the same spot for about two decades now. During its early days, it was simply a mamak restaurant, selling the usual fare found in most mamak shops. However, since the addition of Nasi Kandar about 10+ years ago, lines began to form outside the restaurant for the food. With social media exposing it even further, the restaurant now boasts of queues that can see almost 20 to 30 persons in line waiting to order their meal. Parking is difficult during mornings and afternoons as the vicinity has other coffee shops and some even park here to walk to Pulau Tikus Market. But, don't give up, as there's normally quite a quick turnaround of cars. The food is really tasty, intense curries flavour a bed of rice, and the meats are cooked perfectly. The fried chicken is also very good (best to come around 11am as the first few batches of fried chicken comes out and is often replenished with fresh batches). The beef is not too tough, and the lamb is tender and juicy. Prices are very reasonable, and a hearty meal with meat, vegetables and some egg can be had for under RM10. All you need is to pair your meal with a great teh tarik, and you're all set.

1 of my favourite nasi kandar in PG. It's not the best, but it is good enough to fulfil your cravings for a good plate of curry rice. The kuah campur is thick & flavourful. The curry is on the spicy side, which is to my liking. The fried chicken is fresh & tender, very big portion. Considered 1 of the cheapest among the famous nasi kandar in PG. The seating area indoors is a bit stuffy. Outdoor is better. The queue might get quite long during dinner hours.

My first experience dining in the restaurant, please take note you can only dine in from 12pm onwards. I sample their chicken curry and squid eggs, served with fluffy hot bed of rice, heavenly. Seating are limited so please avoid lunch hours. Recommended for hard core nasi kandar lovers.

got introduced by a local to tried this. The fried chicken is a must, super soft and crispy, especially the chest part is so soft. The gravy is also good with the kubis. Kambing also soft. Price for fried chicken, kubis and acha is 15. Not too bad quite reasonable. This is a local place to eat compared to deen and line clear which is more towards tourist. Must try !

Surprise find. Was just scrolling through as I was around the corner and found this place. Saw a queue and decided to give it a try. Queue was fast. Food is good. Chicken is definitely a go! Moist and tender inside. Tried the telur sotong as well and I liked it. Remember to add all the different gravy. Good place for nasi kandar. Will be back.

Delicious Nasi Kandar here. Price are good. But need queue a bit. Parking here a bit difficult, Can try to park at chaiya mangalaram area (refer picture)

Was recommended by a local friend and really enjoyed this Nasi Kandar. Fried chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Curry mix was wonderful and I had three types of veggies to go with it (Cabbage, long bean & okra). Very food coma inducing. There's always a queue but coming before or after meal times means the crowd isn't as hectic. Parking is limited so plan accordingly.

I didn't need to queue long on a weekend morning but I assume lunch and dinner require so. Their dried chicken here is of good size and the overall combination against its price made it enjoyable. The curry daging was so soft! U can also opt to get sotong telur or ikan telur here.

One of my favourite Nasi Kandar to eat. Their fried chicken is a must to try. Price range from RM10-20 per person. Quite comfortable to dine in but a little bit hot. Toilet was clean. Parking always unavailable, need to park a little bit far then have to walk. Overall, it's a great place to eat.

Recommended by many Youtuber to try this nasi Kandar in Penang...Ayam Gulai is delicious..perfect with bendi and telur masin...Went there about 2.30pm...not so many customer...I gave 4.2 Surrr...

The nasi kandar here deserves a hype. One of the best in penang so far. You should take their sambal nyor together. However the briyani rice just taste ok.

Among one of the very best nasi kandar in Penang . Not to be overrated but their 'telor sotong' is one of the softest and delicious that I had ever taste. I also took chicken curry and also fried chicken. 😋😁. 4.7 surrr.

Long queue alert... Mouthwatering, big, hot, fried chicken is a must for their nasi kandar. A plate of full savoury gives you a good punch in your Mouth. Taste wise, nice. The environment quite overcrowded and dissatisfied hygiene. People may comment it like overrated, but as local food reviewer who tasted all the Nasi Kandar around Penang, they deserved top rate not just because of 'viral' but their good food being served since long time ago.

Raffee Nasi Kandar serves their Nasi Kandar from 7am, but only allow dine in from 12pm. So if you come earlier, you can only do takeaway. Their nasi kandar gravy is quite flavourful and their fried chicken is quite good. Nasi kandar as a breakfast item is quite filling, but you should come around 8am for more options to be available as some items may not be ready by 7am. They also serve other options such as roti canai/paratha.

Another nasi kandar restaurant. The serving area hygiene is suspected (3 star). Food taste and quality (3 star). No food choices other than nasi kandar. Location, is unfriendly. 3 star

Was recommended by a friend who is a local Penangite. Been coming here ever since; each and every time i come to Penang. Can choose to have your kuah campur spicy or not spicy.. There's always a queue, even at night time. But not such an issue cause the queue isn't that long. Service is good, always nice and friendly. But their drinks are too sweet. Have to ask for kurang manis.

Not sure why this nasi kandar is long queue. The fried chicken is a bit tasteless, the fish egg is dry. The thing I like is the salted egg and the popadom which wasn't made inhouse. The curry was okay but there's better ones. Abit overrated imho. Abit disappointed queued half hour for this. Not to say it's bad, there are worse ones out there, just saying this doesn't hit top 10 in my ranking.

Famous '老字号' nasi kandar since decades ago. MUST TRY the ayam goreng (fried chicken) & the kerang (cockles fried with potato in hot sauce). Also famous for its daging (beef in soy sauce) & telur ikan (fish roe). Recently added to the menu, lamb shanks! Friendly & helpful staff that's generous with the servings. Limited seating though, if choose to dine in... but it is worth the wait! 👍🏻

Memang Nasi Kandar terbaik la Kat Penang. Been a regular customer since I was a kid been about 2 decades now hahaha. The quality of the food is really top tier. Nothing beats the portion of any dish in this shop compared to other shops. Crowded almost all the time. Be prepared to wait if you want to get some good food. Nasi Kandar here is always a 10/10.

Came by here to get dinner straight after reaching Penang and pack the nasi kandar. Really good but must be there early or else you have to line up. Ordered beef and egg. A place worth to try out Penang nasi kandar.

A reasonably good place to satisfy craving for Nasi Kandar. The fried chicken was good. The gravy mix was awesomely delicious. Price is reasonable. The queue to get the food can be long depending on time of the day.

Was recommended by local Malays as an option. This had the highest google map rating. Lol. The queue stretched 5 shoplots. There were 100+ customers in front of me. I waited for an hour. 3 servers dishing out food at speed. So that's a ~2-min wait each customer. There's only 1 queue here if you're dining in or taking away, you must line up. But it's well worth it. Honestly. I had my rice like a local. Fried chicken, cabbage and 2 ladies fingers. Mixed curries. It was out of this world. Chicken meat was so tender. The cabbage boiled till it was soft and they were generous with the curries - these were boiling away in a pot. It was spicylicious. A must try!

My first time having Nasi Kandar and my bf assisted me for the ordering, I really love the taste and definitely revisiting this restaurant. Enjoy my time here

Comforting and homie taste of nasi kandar. Feels like home. Had their fried chicken and also squid egg. Delicious and up to my expectation. The venue is just like your local nasi kandar mamak place. Nothing fancy. Toilet is clean but can get a bit hot during the afternoon / peak hours due to their poor air flow / ventilation system. Will definitely repeat

Food was great. Sauce was thick and flavourful. Portioning was generous. Chicken, salted egg, prawn priced at 22. Service was fast as well, everything arrived on time.

First time tasting this nasi kandar for me it’s below what I expected for the hype. The gravy is watery and not much spices taste at all. It has not much variety of dishes I expected from a famous nasi kandar. The only thing I like about this nasi kandar is the fried ikan bills(anchovies) which I had never tasted before and turns out good!

Went here for a lunch with my big family. The queue quite long but the service super fast. Kuah campur a lil bit spicy for me. Overall just okay okay
