Fortunately, locating Mohd Shah Nasi Baryani is not hard. Mohd Shah is stall M14 in the Kompleks Niaga Benteng Peserai food centre directly opposite Putra Specialist Hospital. The popular food centre is along Jalan Bakau Condong near the bridge over Sungei Batu Pahat (river). Batu Pahat town has two bridges over Batu Pahat river – this is the one in the north.

The very reasonable RM6 plate comes with a big piece of mutton rendang with bone on and a large heap of good quality Basmati rice. No frills, no distracting extras and add ons. Each long grain of Basmati rice is coated with fragrant spices and ghee. The moist slightly nutty rice is not overly oily.

The biggest kick of eating nasi baryani at Mohd Shah comes from the kambing (mutton) rendang.

The entire piece of mutton is saturated with fragrance and flavour. The mutton is cooked many hours in coconut milk and hot spices until every fibre is infused with the perfume of coconut and spices. The delicious mutton rendang is tender and moist inside.



Nasi Baryani Mohd Shah is definitely a Must Try for nasi baryani fans.

There are two popular nasi briyani shops in Johor Bahru with family links with the Mohd Shah Nasi Baryani of Batu Pahat. One of them is at Roslin Beriani House in Taman Kebun Teh. Must try 👈 click

The second one with the Mohd Shah DNA is MS Beryani. I just realised what MS stood for while writing this 😅 If you are shopping at Angsana Plaza in JB, this is the Must Try nasi briyani to go for. It's just 3 minutes drive away 👈 click

  7. The stall closes early on Sat and Sun. I went on Sat at 7+pm and he was closing up. They told me they also close early on Sunday, so best to get there way before 7pm on weekends.
