A beautiful old colonial bungalow near newton MRT. The setting is beautiful. They have a lunch buffet at a reasonable price, please call to find out the current price. The buffet had many North Indian Dishes. The chicken Bryanni was fantastic. The service was average but nothing to praise about. A good relaxing lunch in a traditional colonial building. Not... More

Food is OK, but overpriced. However the main issue is that the staff are fairly clueless and the service is so slow it's both painful and embarrassing (especially when taking a customer). Lunchtime buffet is OK as you can just serve yourself. So advice is try out the buffet but avoid a la carte and the tasting menu at all... More

We were sent to this restaurant by the hotel, Royal Plaza on Scotts. This was a big mistake. With all the great food in Singapore, this was the worst possible choice. Beautiful decorations and interior but terrible food and service. We have eaten Indian food all over the world and this does not even rank with fast food. It is... More

We had previously eaten at Song of India for a very pleasant dining experience however this time was a real disapointment. The celebrity chef served up two choices..... veg or non veg degustation. our group shared both but the verdict of all was the same: It was pretty awful both for the venue and for the chef. Each course was... More

We arrived at 9 p.m. And ordered appetisers and main courses with the request to reduce all chilli and spicy substances for the dishes of the children. As a result my son's chicken was not edible out of chilli and my lentils soup was not spicy at all. At 10.10 the waitress told us we have to order deserts, because... More

This is high end Indian. The setting is very good and the staff present without being too much in your way. The waiters was helpful with suggestions, both on choice and quantity. I had an excellent Dehli ki chaat and a well balanced dahl. Only downside, it's pricey.

The restaurant is set in what looks like a house built during the British Raj but is maintained beautifully. The food is excellent and the service is superb. We had gone with a large group and were not sure how much to order. The waiter was very helpful and actually told us that we were ordering too much bread for... More
