Indian Restaurants in Singapore: Who Is the Best?

By Roni Shwartz

Singapore, Asia's most cosmopolitan city, boasts a large and thriving Indian community and is, therefore, one of the best places in Asia to indulge on a lovely Indian feast... This article will take you to the best Indian restaurants in Singapore, as well as to some of the city's most authentic Indian eateries.

Little India is, obviously, the right place to start your Indian food safari from... Most of the restaurants here are not glitzy or pretentious, but the food they serve is authentic and scrumptious, and the prices they charge are very reasonable.

Occupying an old shophouse along Serangoon Road, Komala Vilas has been serving delicious South Indian Vegetarian food for more than 60 years... Their main draw is the "Thosai" (Dosa - A rolled crispy crêpe, stuffed with various fillings), although the eatery's modest menu also offers a small variety of Thali options.

Next in line is Sakunthala's Restaurant, on 151 Dunlop, which serves a range of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian specialties and is particularly famous for its Dosa (Thosai), although can also find here some seriously delicious Briyanis, Thalis, Masala Crab and an exceptionally tasty Chicken kothu.
Sakunthala's has good value set meals, and like every "real" South Indian eatery, you get free top ups of rice, vegetables, sauces, curries, and pappadums...

Just a couple of minutes' walk from there, Kulfi Bar, on No. 15 Upper Dickson, is known for its lovely home-made Indian ice cream (Kulfi)

Banana Leaf Apollo, one of the most popular Indian restaurants in Singapore, has been serving great Indian fare since 1974 and is now operating through two outlets in Little India. It's not particularly fancy, neither is it owe-inspiring, but the food is hands down scrumptious and the prices are reasonable. Fish Head Curry is the "specialite de la maison", but there are many other curry specialties worth trying...

Ananda Bhavan Restaurant claims to be Singapore's oldest existing Indian restaurant, and whether this is true or not, it has been around for more than seventy years and is still as good as ever, with a wide variety of dishes from all over the subcontinent, and an equally good choice of delightful Indian breads...

If you wish to enjoy your Indian dinner in a swankier environment, there are more than enough high end Indian restaurants in Singapore that are worth going to...

Housed within Holiday Inn Park View Hotel, Tandoor has long become one of the most popular Indian restaurants in Singapore, after being in business for more than 25 years, and while its menu boasts the typical range of North Indian favorites, similar to what you'll find on menus of many other restaurants in town, the food itself is constantly delicious, flavorful and aromatic

Shahi Maharani, in Raffles City, serves the Crème de la Crème of north Indian cuisine in a relaxing and elegant environment, while Bombay Woodlands Restaurant, in Tanglin Shopping Centre, near the end of Orchard Road, serves lovely vegetarian food from the south Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, in a pleasant and contemporary ambience, and has a diversified menu that suits everyone's taste.

Last but not least, Queens Tandoor, on Robertson Quay, near the Singapore River, serves splendid north Indian cuisine in lovely surroundings, and has a large alfresco area, which is really pleasant, so long as the weather is not too hot or rainy.
