Best Places To Eat Curry and Indian Food In Singapore's Little India District

Singapore’s Little India district is one of the most original ethnic enclaves in the country. Many of the other ethnic districts have lost their charm, mainly caused by the demolition of older buildings to make way for modern shopping malls and plazas. Luckily with Little India, much of the place is still left intact; therefore you can expect one of the most authentic eating experiences there! Here are some of the best places to eat curry and other Indian food in Singapore’s Little India district.

Budget Restaurants

The Saravana Bhavan located on 84 Syed Alwi Road, is a great restaurant serving up fresh Indian vegetarian food at very reasonable prices. This restaurant is actually a franchise from Chennai, India. For about 5.00S$ (Singapore dollars) you can get a complete lunch set that will have you full for the rest of the day! The place is open throughout the day from 8:00am all the way until 11pm at night.

Sagar Ratna also located on Syed Alwi Road, on unit 103, is another great vegetarian restaurant. Similarly it is a franchise, but from Delhi, India. Set meals cost between 5S$ to 7S$. Particularly one of their most popular dishes is the rasam, a spicy lentil soup, which you must try.

Mid Range Restaurants

Banana Leaf Apollo located on 54-58 Race Course Road, is one of the most popular South Indian restaurants in town. They are so popular that they actually have 2 separate branches on the same road, as one is to handle the overflow traffic from the other! The food is uniquely served, as instead of eating off a plate, you will be eating off a giant banana leaf. Prices hover around the 15 S$ to 25 S$ (Singapore dollars) range for a complete meal for one person. If you are ordering the set dishes, then the biryani rice and curry vegetable side dishes are “all you can eat”. Therefore it is actually quite a good deal, as the food is good, and the food portions are large.

Muthu’s Curry located on 72-78 Race Course Road, is another popular Indian restaurant in Singapore. They have multiple branches all around town, but their flagship branch is the one located on Race Course Road. What they are famous for is their fish head curry. On most nights the restaurant is packed, and you will need to wait in line to eat there. The prices are very reasonable, ranging from 15 S$ to 25 S$ for one pot of curry fish head that can serve to about 3 to 5 people.

Upscale Restaurants

Delhi Restaurant located on 60 Race Course Road, is a more upscale restaurant. It has won many culinary awards, and you can see them all posted on their walls. They are specializing in North Indian food, with both a vegetarian and non-vegetarian menu. Prices are 15 S$ and onwards.

If you are coming to Singapore, and you are a big Indian food fan, then you must visit the Little India area to sample any one of these restaurants. You will be surely satisfied at the food there!
