    This is the story of how we were led to Nasi Kandar Mohamed Raffe which turned out to be our first Nasi Kandar experience in Penang! The food itself was actually not bad! Full of flavour and the mamak was definitely not stingy when it came to dishing out the goods.

    I had better luck at Nasi Kandar Raffe in Pulau Tikus, a popular spot among Penangites besides Nasi Kandar Beratur . The chap who helped me with the rice was pleasant and accommodating, and scooped only the curries I wanted into my rice.

    Great old tasting mamak food. Revisit 2026 One thing I like about this place is the sheer variety of proteins available. Plenty of choices staring back at you from the display counter, making decision-making harder than it should be.

    The nasi kandar tastes great, and all the food is served hot and fresh. You can really enjoy the flavors when everything comes freshly prepared. It’s also quite famous among the locals, which shows how well-loved this place is.

    Ordered the Nasi Kandar and Roti Tisu, both are so good! The nasi kandar is packed with spices, very flavorful and satisfying. P.S. as an Indonesian, it reminded me a bit of nasi padang, but without the santan and soggier as well 😁👍 be…

    Went during lunch and had to queue for ∼30 min, but service was okay and fast. Try their killer menu of chicken gulai - delicious and big portion for the price. Total bill for 2 people RM28, worth the taste and price.

    Rice, chicken curry & cabbage are really surprising... even try half rice with abundant rice taste. Nalla chicken curry is good... it melts in your mouth like the word omputeh. So it's really solid but it's just that you're tired...

    The food was ridiculously salty, completely inedible. I don't know why so many people recommend it. 😩 The service was quite attentive, and the atmosphere was nice, but the food was just awful. 🧂 A bit disappointing.

    Another option if you want to try a different taste of nasi kandar. Don't miss Raffee — add this restaurant to your list.

    Didn’t expect the food to be this good for such a simple restaurant !! truly worth every penny! The curry was thick, rich, and full of flavour. Definitely an underrated spot. Only downside: the dining space is quite limited.

    Decided to try a new place and Raffee lived up to expectations. Their kuah campur is excellent, good enough to just eat with plain rice. Took a few small dishes to save the stomach for durians.

    It was delicious; a high-calorie dinner was dedicated to Nasi Kandar.

    Thank God. Surrdap. Just a small shop. Parking is hard to find. There is paid parking across the street. Always crowded so time your time here. Look for it during non-peak hours.
