Your questions answered
Where can I find the best North Indian food in Singapore?
Race Course Road in Little India has the biggest cluster, with Jaggi's, Mustard, Delhi 6, Gayatri and Amrith all on one street. For fine dining, Tiffin Room at Raffles Hotel, Punjab Grill at Marina Bay Sands, SanSara at Grand Copthorne Waterfront and Akasa in the CBD are the main choices.
How much does North Indian food cost in Singapore?
Casual Little India spots such as Jaggi's and Riverwalk Tandoor charge from around $8 to $13 for butter chicken or tandoori chicken. Mid-range restaurants such as Anglo Indian Cafe & Bar charge from around $22++ for mains. Hotel restaurants usually cost from around $80 per person, and weekday lunch thalis (Rang Mahal from around $42++) are cheaper than dinner.
Are there halal North Indian restaurants in Singapore?
None of the restaurants in this guide is confirmed as MUIS-certified. Rang Mahal offers halal-friendly options on request but is not certified. If halal matters, check the MUIS halal directory, or see our Pakistani and briyani guides for halal-certified kitchens serving similar tandoori, kebabs and curries.
Which North Indian restaurants in Singapore are good for vegetarians?
Kailash Parbat is fully vegetarian and known for chole bhature and chaat. Mustard has vegetarian and vegan dishes, and Rang Mahal, Amrith and SanSara offer vegetarian versions of their set menus.
Do I need to book North Indian restaurants in Singapore?
Book ahead for Tiffin Room, Punjab Grill, SanSara and Rang Mahal, especially at dinner and during Deepavali (early November), when festive set menus run. Little India spots such as Jaggi's and Riverwalk Tandoor are walk-in. Note that SanSara is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and Akasa is closed on Sundays.
What is the difference between North and South Indian food?
North Indian cooking uses more dairy (cream, yoghurt, ghee), wheat breads such as naan and paratha, and tandoor-grilled meats with rich, thick curries. South Indian food centres on rice, coconut and tamarind, with dishes such as dosa, idli and fish head curry.
