Indian Flavors

Chicken was so soft and tender. Went extremely well with the fluffy Biryani rice and curry. Blessed to work around good food all the time!

Fluffy rice, flavorful and tender mutton in a no-pretense environment. Perfect for a weekday dinner.

I have discovered chicken tikka nirvana and it resides at 166 Serangoon Road. This sounds especially unbelievable coming from me because I am someone who has never understood the appeal of chicken tikka, let alone rave about it. But here I am, doing exactly that. Which should say plenty about the food.
The platter we ordered contained six types of boneless chicken pieces that had been marinated with different combinations of rare spices, lime juice plus either yogurt, or a mild cashew nut and cream paste. After which, they were baked in a "tandoor" or clay oven. Regardless of the marinade used, every single piece of chicken tasted absolutely PHENOMENAL! They were super tender and more importantly, really moist (now, this was the part that most impressed me because I have only ever had dryish to dry renditions elsewhere). Furthermore, thanks to the assorted marinades, each of the chicken tikka pieces quietly exploded in my mouth, showering its own unique firework of mildly-spiced flavours. Wow. Wow. Wow.

The meat was juicy and flavorful. Always the safe choice!

Always a delightful combination.

A beautiful array of dishes that brings the best out of both Northern & Southern traditions. My favorite was the chicken chettinad and fish masala. Recommend bringing a big group here to cater more variety on the table.

Pretty good Indian food at comfortable prices. Not the best I've eaten, but this is definitely a safe option! They also offer the buffet option.

Elaborate North Indian biryani served in a hawker centre. Flavors are sophisticated! Immensely good at just $6.

With no distinct signboard and a snaking long queue under a HDB block, you know you've found something special. Having taken over from their father's stall, these brothers run a tight ship at Blk 17 Beach Rd, doling out packet after packet of briyani as people order takeaway in the dozens. If you've got the time, sit and enjoy your tender mutton and amazing gravy... this is a serious briyani. Photo by Jayne Tan

Housed in the sprawling ABC Brickworks Market & Food Centre, YRA serves some of the best tandoori chicken around, putting some high end restaurants to shame. This humble hawker establishment serves fresh chappatis and naans, and incredibly fragrant briyani rice. The rice is lightly spiced but well flavoured with chicken parts cooked with the rice. Next time you're at ABC, be sure to give this a try. Photo by Jayne Tan

Huge portions. Be warned!

Cottage cheese cooked in creamy spinach sauce. Authentic and wonderful flavors!
