    From Japan to Singapore, I didn’t get any meal because I think my ticket did not cover any food and beverages. The flight lasted for 6 hours. By the time I arrived, I was so hungry. Luckily, we booked Hotel G Singapore, and this restaurant is just a 1-minute walk from the hotel. They offer a wide variety of delicious food, and the service is quite good. Most importantly, you can have a generously sized, delicious meal at an affordable price. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone staying at Hotel G Singapore or in the nearby area. The food here is simply amazing!

    The picture speaks for itself. I have been eating here for the past few days as I was attending a course nearby. At first, I was not hoping much from this restaurant as I am not a frequent diner here. Cut to the chase already, I ordered the biryani rice with small chunks of beef curry and was blown away. I know my biryani stuff very well and I must say that their briyani is on another level. The beef was so tender that I just swallow without even chewing much. Then comes the very soft and light briyani rice. Not too rich on the ghee and very flavourful. I asked for additional rice when ordering and managed to finish it all with ease. I don't feel bloated or unwillingly force feeding myself to the massive briyani rice on my plate. Combined with the "acar", it adds a zing of fresh dimension to the dish. With a spoonful of Briyani rice, acar salad and beef curry, most likely you will enjoy your briyani hands down. Then finish it off with a tall glass of ice lemon tea will be a perfect fit on a hot day. So if you are nearby, come down here to get a great briyani meal with family or friends. Customer service here is also top notch. Fast, friendly and responsive too. P. S As of writing, I had this briyani dish for 4 days in a row till my last day on course ended. That is my seal of approval to a great dish from my perspective.

    Open til late or 24 hours i think. So this place is perfect for late nite diner. Nothing fancy but comfy enough to enjoy the food. A bit noisy however. It’s super pack with people when we came. But we managed to get a seat easily. Located in the corner street near bencoolen area. Good size and portion. It’s flavorful. The biryani has good aroma, the chicken is tender. The mutton biryani is also delicious. Curry taste is delightful. And i love the papadum like cracker. Affordable price.

    Finally gave this restaurant a try, after decades passing by it. The furnishing appear unchanged for decades! Generally very, very tasty curry. The mutton curry was exceptionally flavourful and meat very tender. The Prata is not the crispy type but it does complement the curry well. Friendly and 24hrs service!

    First of all, the staff in this restaurant are very tourist friendly. Had a lot of patience explaining the different curries on the display. We've encountered lots of grumpy locals when we eat, and this place is different. Now the food, I would say is also tasty. Great place to have breakfast. Thank you again for a good experience and good luck!

    First time trying this popular spot during lunch time. I just ordered mee goreng $4.50 and despite rush lunch time they served it very fast. Portion is okay. Not too big/small. Taste okay. Recommended to try if you are around. I saw other people ordered prata and briyani.

    Prata fresh and crispy, the chicken and fish curry is tasty. Had the plaster and paper prata, super delicious, teh o limau is just nice, not too sweet!

  • 5/5 Logan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent and Fresh Prata! Relaxing neighbourhood vibe with the freshest and fluffiest prata. The fried chicken briyani is great and the curry has the perfect level of spiciness, perfect for dipping those piping hot prata! Special shoutout to the iced limao which was super fresh! Price on point and the staff are very friendly. My go to Indian fast casual eatery choice for sure!

    Old sch prata shop. Didn't order much only 1 prata with 2 egg. Didnt order the normal.. plain or 1 egg. Was quite sure they will give me one tat was made many hours ago... The curry at the counter.. the fried chicken... Especially the long beans... Looks like cooked very long. Prata is so so... Non crispy type. Just a quick bite and left.

    Decent late night spot - open 24/7 👍 We went around 4am and there were a few tables of young people eating here and at the restaurants next to it but no wait time which is good. We ordered the cheese egg Prata, mutton curry and chicken biryani. The Prata itself was nice and hot, soft with slightly crispy bits on the outside. The mutton curry was a bit salty but went well with the biryani as the rice itself was slightly bland. The chicken was the best thing here, flavourful skin and the sauce pairing had a nice light kick to it. The hottest dish was the Prata, everything else was lukewarm at best. The limau ice was delicious and refreshing to have with the meal. The limau with plum was similar but with a salty kick from the dried plum. Overall tasty meal but nothing to write home about. Prices have also gone up slightly compared to the older menu pics on here. It is now a blue menu with mutton curry being $5, chicken biryani at $7.

    It supposed to be my first meal in Singapore but it was totally disappointment. The staff at the counter with blue polo shirt asked us to sit, after 15 mins ( store was not busy) no one come to take order. I approached counter again to ask shall I order at counter? The guy shouted: sit! Ok, after another 10 mins I asked another staff can we order? He took me to the cabinet said we only have this( Chicken something) I asked what else do you have? He said we only have this. ….. ok so what’s the point to ask me sit at the beginning?? Don’t recommend

    Probably my favourite restaurant to eat at in Singapore, while staying at the nearby Hotel G. Affordable and no frills. Don’t expect any AC or fancy seating. Just good food - especially the Prata. My fave was the BOM and the Banana. Chicken was good, but lacked flavour. Lots of drink options (non alcoholic), too!

    Chicken Chappati set was marvellous. Chicken was soft, curry was loaded with spice, chicken was soft and chappati was nice soft dough. Thank goodness they are 24 hours! Staff were super swift, I was served and got my food in less than 10 minutes.

    The chicken in the chicken biryani was really good with a crispy skin. The chicken and fish curries for dipping were also tasty. The pickled cucumber and onion were even surprisingly well flavored. The rice was maybe a little sweet tasting to me which was weird and didn't matter much while eating with a teh ice or something anyway. Very good food for a 24h place.

    I ate here more than a care to admit at 3am half drunk. This restaurant somehow churns out amazing food 24/7. You have to order the mutton biryani with roti prata. Add a piece of fried chicken with a blueberry drink and for under $15 you've just eaten the best food of your life.

  • 5/5 Ashleigh F. 2 months ago on Google • 36 reviews New
    The Maggi Goreng was delicious and a tiny bit spicy. The chicken donburi was very good and mild spicy. The prata was amazing and I will be back for more! Atmosphere was nice sitting on the street side.

    Good food, Indian style, hope it is halal because Al-Jilani is from complete name of Abdul Qodir Al-Jilani, one of best Muslim scholars.

  • 1/5 Javier T. 1 year ago on Google
    The service here was extremely bad, we sat on the table and i went to the counter to order but they kept assigning jobs to each other and simply didn’t go to our table even after 10minutes. I was nice and was patient to wait for them but they decided to serve the “angrier” customers instead. I got so fed up that I didn’t even bother to try to order anymore and rating them bad for their service.

    Had a mee goreng Puteh n a teh aliah. Cost 6.30. A lil steep. That's my personal opinion. Taste dry. Nit great.

  • 2/5 WenD T. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is reasonably good. Reason for 2 stars: ordered bee goreng and apparently it’s $4.50 (instead of $4) because there was a fried egg on top. Other bee hoon goreng variations had Ikan bilis, ayam and mutton were priced at $4.50 on their menu. (Unfortunately I did not take a pic of that) so I asked the person how come it’s $4.50 for bee hoon goreng and if the rest of the variations were same price. She says, no, the rest are $5. And when I ask how come I get served an egg I never ask for (and why should it come as extra charge), the prc did not respond. Come on, don’t be so cheap skate. If you want to charge it, make sure the charges are known and that the customer is agreeable to it. This is outright dishonesty. Be very careful what you are paying for , before you pay.

    One of the best 24 Hours Halal Food in Singapore! Near from Bencoolen MRT station, you just need to walk about 5 minute from the MRT station to go there! Succes Uncle!
