    On my first day in Penang, I went to nothing but the best: Nasi Kandar Line Clear. My local friend pretty much chose most of the things on my plate and she made sure to get what she said are popular about this place — fish head curry and…

    Let me jump to the point: I loved everything about my experience at Line Clear Restaurant. From the insanely delicious (and messy!) nasi kandar to the friendly and helpful service, this is one local food shop you need to visit when in…

    Line Clear Nasi Kandar is located in an alleyway which is very easy to miss. If you’re walking from Lebuh Chulia, keep to the left hand side and you should see the above yellow signboard on the walkway once you turn left onto Jalan Penang.

    Update (03/2026): They're one of the most popular Indian street style restaurants in Penang. An institution itself, Nasi Kandar Clear provides cheap and large servings of Nasi Kandar. As someone who is not good with spices, it's okay.

    There’s a reason Line Clear Nasi Kandar has endured beyond hype cycles and Instagram waves. Yes, the dishes themselves are very good — the fried chicken crisp, the beef tender, the seafood curries layered with spice — but that’s not the…

    I've been curious about Nasi Kandar for a while. I think it's quite spicy. It's a tomato-based curry and it was delicious, but I felt that the curry sauce could have used a little more depth of flavor.

    Opens very early. Perfect place if you are thinking of getting nasi Kandar for breakfast before flying back 😅. Clean, delicious, good service, and reasonable price👌🏽

    Although parking nearby is very difficult, this is one of the best nasi kandar I’ve tried. I never knew nasi kandar was a Penang invention.

    Best nasi kandar in Penang (my humble opinion). Food didn't show as it was another day. Everything top notch.
