Dzul Satay 1965 Jalan Peel — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

My first visit to Dzul Satay 1965 on Jalan Peel was a delightful experience that earns a solid four-star rating. This isn't your typical sit-down restaurant; it's a legendary roadside stall that has been a staple of Kuala Lumpur's street food scene for decades.

​The satay itself is the main event and it lives up to its reputation. The skewers of marinated beef, and lamb are grilled over a charcoal fire, giving them a distinct smoky flavor and perfectly charred edges. The meat is tender and juicy, clearly marinated with a blend of spices that provides a rich, savory taste. What truly elevates the experience is the peanut sauce. It's thick, rich, and has a noticeable kick of spice that complements the grilled meat beautifully.

Another great food was their ala carte menu - Nasi Goreng Cina which surprisingly delicious with seafood (prawn & calamary) included. The genuine wok taste is there in their fried rice. Thing to improve is their kitchen cleanliness, which from my observations is not really clean and some customers take this...

Ordered take away and stood and waiting for 20 minutes although it was not crowded on a weekday. I noticed they have a poor management system.

She writes these orders in a book and small pieces of paper which she places on her counter in no order. So it is not first come first serve basis. I practically saw that people from the neighborhood she knows can get their take away orders immediately upon ordering. After seeing 2-3 more incidents of queue jumping, I cancelled my order. I think fame has overtaken their humble beginnings, and they have more than enough customers to care about losing customers. Patronize only if you can accept being...

The types of satays (chicken & beef) that I like. The taste was not overly powered by the lemongrass, and was not overly sweet marinated while the texture tasted fresh and soft (not tough to bite for beef).

I personally found the lamb satay was enjoyable in texture, but I couldn't enjoy the lamb's smell.

Sometimes, I found some satay vendors put quite a lot of chicken fat in their chicken satay, but not here at the Dzul Satay. The beef satays were also soft in texture with the right amount of fat in between the skewer.

The satay sauce was not as thick as the usual that we found in most of the satay vendors. I would prefer the sauce slightly thicker which can stick and hold on to the satay when I dipped into...
