Mr. Deen offers a wide range of options, from familiar comfort food to exciting fusion dishes that surprise your taste buds.

02.As soon as you step into Mr. Deen, you’ll notice how spacious it is, a rare find in the city. Whether you’re with a big group or flying solo, there’s enough room to get comfortable. The artwork on the walls adds a colorful and creative touch to the space, giving the whole restaurant a personality of its own.

It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease, relaxed enough for long chats with friends, but also energetic enough to keep the mood upbeat.
Let’s start with the superstar dish: the Mr. Deen Special Cheese Kottu. This is no ordinary kottu. It’s packed with sausage, chicken, egg, beef, crab, cashews, and more, creating a rich mix of textures and flavors. The cheese melts through everything, bringing it all together in a creamy, indulgent way.
The best part? It’s massive. One portion can easily feed four to five hungry people, making it a great choice for sharing. Whether you're celebrating something or just super hungry, this dish hits all the right notes.
The Hot Batter Prawns are a great pick if you're in the mood for seafood. Each prawn is coated in a golden, crispy batter that gives a satisfying crunch with every bite. But what makes this dish really stand out is the flavor; it’s buttery, rich, and perfectly seasoned.
These prawns are great as a starter or even as a side to pair with one of the mains. Either way, they’re a total crowd favorite.
If you’re a fan of pasta, don’t miss the Cheesy Mac Chicken. This dish took me by surprise – it's honestly one of the best pastas I’ve had recently. The creamy cheese sauce coats every piece of macaroni, and the tender pieces of chicken add the perfect protein punch.
It’s one of those dishes that feels like a warm hug in a bowl – rich, cheesy, and filling. Ideal for days when you want something that’s both tasty and comforting.
Next up is the Chilli Chicken Whalemarine – a dish that gives you amazing value for money. The chicken is juicy and full of flavor, coated in a spicy sauce that’s not too overpowering but gives a nice kick.
The portion size is generous, and it pairs well with almost anything on the menu – or even just on its own. If you’re someone who likes bold, spicy dishes, this one is a must-try.
Now, for drinks, I tried the Green Apple Light, and personally, it wasn’t my favorite. The flavor was a bit too mild for my taste, but interestingly, my friend loved it. It seems like one of those drinks that really depends on personal preference. If you enjoy light, fruity drinks, it might be right up your alley.
The real star in the drinks section, though, is the Fruit & Nut Milkshake. This was the first time I’ve tried a milkshake like this, and it completely blew me away. You can taste the real fruit and crunchy nuts in every sip, and it’s not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced.
It’s creamy, cool, and super refreshing, especially after a spicy or cheesy meal. This shake quickly made its way to my list of favorite drinks and is something I’ll definitely be coming back for.
