✔️Final Spotlight: Rajarani Thosai – The Queen of Indian Local Delights Nestled within the bustling Tampines Round Market & Food Centre 137 Tampines St. 11, #01-33, Singapore 521137 Rise and shine at 9 a.m. with a leisurely morning stroll through this vibrant neighborhood! This lively hawker hub awakens early to greet the morning crowd, with most stalls winding down by around 12:30 p.m. Among them, the shining star is Rajarani Thosai, renowned for its tantalizing array of flavourful thosai. Despite calling this neighborhood home for ages, I hadn’t yet indulged in their famed thosai—until now. Tales of their legendary taste have long circulated, claiming it’s among the best in town. It’s no surprise that locals flock here, making it a must-visit spot whenever you’re nearby. So next time you're wandering through Tampines Round Market, don’t miss the chance to stop by Rajarani Thosai. Their crispy, delicious thosai might just become your new favourite! It was my inaugural attempt, and in my eagerness, I ordered two—mistakenly confusing plain thosai and masala thosai. The wonderful Kakak Shikmi kindly offered me a complimentary plain thosai during my first taste, which turned out to be utterly delightful, with a gravy that was irresistibly flavourful. Excited to try the masala thosai version (spicy with meshed potatoes filling), I told Kakak Shikmi I’d be returning to taste it and insisted on paying for my meal, I paid for the second meals though her kind gesture made me feel truly grateful. Thank you, Kakak! I also shared with Kakak Shikmi, who took my order, and Madam Mala, the stall owner, that your thosai is truly delightful. About the dish! Freshly crafted upon, the thosai emerged crisp and aromatic, embodying the true essence of comfort food. There's nothing quite like savoring a hot, freshly made delight—each bite bursting with authentic flavour. Lightly greased and perfectly textured, it was accompanied by a classic trio of sides: creamy coconut chutney, tangy red chutney, and hearty dhal. Sadly, they don’t serve fish curry here, which remains my personal favourite, but their signature dishes more than make up for it. As mentioned above, for my second round, I indulged in a masala thosai filled generously with savory mashed potatoes. The potatoes were smooth, well-cooked, and packed with flavour—a true crowd-pleaser. A heads-up: unlike some stalls, they don’t serve the ultra-thin, crispy paper thosai I’ve enjoyed elsewhere, so keep that in mind. Patience is key when ordering—be prepared for a wait. When the stall is in full swing, you might find yourself waiting around 30 minutes to place your order, especially if there's already a line forming. Despite the busy atmosphere, the owner’s service is quick and attentive. With a bit of luck, you can have your delicious feast in about 20 minutes. Madam Mala and Kakak Shikmi, the duo behind the thosai magic, swiftly whip up the delicious delights and serve eager customers with enthusiasm. Their attentiveness in taking orders ensures no detail is missed, creating a lively buzz at the stall. A friendly tip: when placing your order at the counter with Kakak Shikmi, be as clear as a sunny day—this helps ensure everything is perfectly in sync. While the service has its strengths, there's room to elevate the customer experience further. A warm greeting can turn an ordinary visit into a memorable one, making customers feel at home and eager to return. Improving this aspect could turn casual visitors into loyal fans, reducing any lingering negative reviews. The takeaway Appam is a delightful treat—just remember to request it freshly made for the best experience. And don’t miss the Puttu Mayam with coconut—another tasty option that’s sure to satisfy your cravings. And here’s are their recognition. In April 2026, Rajarani Thosai earned a prestigious spot in the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2026. Come savour tradition, freshness, and flavors that have stood the test of time. Bon appetite!

The masala butter thosai here is top tier. Legit the best I've tried so far. Ate one and immediately went back for a second plain thosai just to compare. Plain doesnt quite match up to a butter thosai in terms of flavor but that's expected. They really make it a point to make the edges crispy too. So you get a good texture between the soft center and crispy edges. Highly recommend any option with butter!

Masala thosai is the BOMB. First time trying, will go back for more. Warm, hearty and filling meal, great for breakfast/lunch!

Tried this based on my friend’s recommendation. I was mentally prepared on what’s to come based on past reviews listed. Came on Monday morning around 10 am. While others reported massive queues and waiting times, it was the complete opposite. There were only 2 people in front of me when I was queuing up. You place your orders with the makcik on the right hand side of the stall, after which you queue to receiving the food on the left. Be clear on what you want to order and please, don’t forget to smile. These are hard working, aged workers who don’t want drama. I ordered egg thosai and a plain one, which I should’ve ordered the butter one instead. Because I absolutely despise dhal, I requested to have more of the spicy chutney, which the makcik obliged with no fuss. I thanked her with gratitude and enjoyed my meal. The only thing I want to critique on is how watery the chutneys are. If I were to compare it with my baseline level (Komala Villas), I would place Rajarani on the third of my thosai list.

Shop is situated in the inner circle of the circular hawker center. Expect to queue however service is relatively fast. Ordered the thosai masala egg onion. Was worth the $5. The ingredients were plentiful and tasty. Generous portion of condiments. Will visit again when in the area
