I have been here for the first time. I do not understand people giving bad reviews. The place is in Little India. And among those restaurants, probably one of the best. It is located in a small road. A small and clean, air conditioned restaurant. The host was very friendly and professional. We ordered three dishes to share and try for 2 adult men. We had different Lassi and Naan as well ad Chai. The quality of the Biryani is superb. One of the best Biryani I had. Very good and aromatic rice. The chicken tandoori well marinated and perfectly cooked. The butter chicken was very delicious. Spicy, but not too hot. The Mango Lassi is a must try. The self made Naan probably the best I ever had (try cheese and garlic). I can highly recommend this place.

Bare in mind I travel all around the world by my own, not paid promote by sponsor and I have been visited Delhi, Mumbai & Hyderabad. Everytime I go there, I always randomly order local food through online applications and all was good, even great! When I came visit Singapore I try to find one and I got this restaurant as the best one regarding reviewers. So, I have very high expectations to try the food from this restaurant. Then, you know what? All drop, the food that I ordered as pictures attached, has inconsistency taste, not even meet “ok” standard. The atmosphere of restaurant was quiet, none coming, only me with my family. And the price? As you can see for both vegetarian biryani. So, Tourist, please think many times before you come here! Definitely will not come anymore! I don’t know why they have good review. Oh sorry, forget that nowadays so many paid reviewers 👌

We went there after reading so many positive reviews claiming it was the best biriyani in town, but honestly we were brutally disappointed. I really don’t understand how people call it the “best biriyani.” We ordered the mutton biriyani, and it didn’t taste like authentic mutton dum biriyani at all. It felt like plain rice and cooked mutton were just mixed together to make a biriyani. The mutton pieces were hard, and the spices were not blended properly into the rice. On top of that, the portion size was very small considering the price. We also ordered mango kulfi for my child. It came in a tiny cup and was frozen so hard like ice that he couldn’t even eat it at first. After we informed them, they served it on a plate and defrosted it a little, but it still didn’t taste like authentic mango kulfi. Because of that experience, we cancelled our second kulfi order as well. The atmosphere was clean and nice, but good ambience means nothing when the food is this disappointing. Very upsetting to see tourists being misled by overly positive reviews.

10/10 recommend this place! Was surprised it wasn’t crowded when we went, considering how good the food was. We had the country chicken biryani, chicken 65, and chilli chicken, plus mango lassi and rose milk. Everything was really tasty and full of flavour. Feels like a hidden gem for now but not sure how long that’ll last!

I came here with family for dinner and it was an absolute feast for the senses! The biryanis were the star of the show—fluffy, aromatic basmati rice layered with tender, perfectly spiced meat. The lamb shank biryani was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the chicken biryani had just the right balance of heat and flavor. The curries were equally impressive. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, the classic green curry was vibrant and herbaceous, and the meat curry had a depth of flavor that transported me straight to India. The naan bread was fresh, soft, and slightly charred—ideal for soaking up every last drop of sauce. The mango lassis were the perfect complement: thick, sweet, and refreshing, cutting through the richness of the meal. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. This is hands down one of the best Indian meals I’ve had in Singapore. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes! Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic, flavorful Indian cuisine.
