Top Indian Restaurants in Singapore

Overview of Indian Restaurants  

It is rather common for Indian restaurants to present their local dishes as part of a nationalised cuisine. These Indian cuisines are strongly influenced by India’s rich history which consists of their religious and cultural practices. In fact, learning a little background information about the common cultural practices and history of cuisines or dishes in India transform your next Indian meal trip into a remarkable, interesting and deeply meaningful adventure.

Typical Indian Restaurants’ Cuisines

Most Indian restaurants’ local cuisines (depends on whether the restaurant serves vegetarian meals or not) consist of rice, Chapati (flatbread), meat, vegetable, soup, salad, yogurt, spices and pickles. In general, water will be served with every dish. Local customers can also request for a glass of wine or alcoholic drinks.

Although Indian restaurants’ cuisines are rather diverse, there are certain commonalities that bond and unite their different culinary practices. In any countries that serve Indian cuisines, they are highly reliant on curries and spices, which carry heavy gravy-like sauce or stew-like dishes with meat, vegetables, soup or even cheese. The particular spice mixtures, level of liquidity and selection of ingredients differ according to different chefs in the countries – they are usually cooked based on regional preference. Indian cuisines in general are also very dependent on rice. In fact, the Southern Indian regions consume more rice than other areas.

Moreover, all their cuisines are dependent on “pulses” or legumes – they use a greater variety of pulses than any other global cuisines. These include red lentils, Bengal gram, pigeon peas or yellow gram, black gram and green gram in a wide number of Indian dishes. The “pulses” or legumes help to add favour and creaminess to dishes that don’t use dairy. In other circumstances, they add certain protein to vegetarian diets for better favouring.

In short, the most interesting characteristic of Indian cuisines is its diverse use of spices. Indian cuisines often use up to five different spices, sometimes using ten or more. These strong spices consist of chilli pepper, black mustard seed, cumin, tumeric, fenugreek, ginger, garlic, cardamom, cloves, coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, saffron, rose petal essence, garam masala and asafoetida powder. These spices are very strong in favour and scent when raw but injects a delightful taste when added to cooked dishes. These additional spices are added according to different regions and personal recipes. Mint, coriander, and fenugreek leaves are often provided to add their pungent herby flavours to all dishes in India.

History of Indian Restaurants’ Cuisines

The history of Indian restaurants’ cuisines are inspired by the cultural impact of trade in specific regions; bearing the mark of foreign influence. India’s cuisines (such as spices) were highly influenced by Arab and European traders. India received many goods that greatly influenced its culinary tradition. Portuguese traders produced imports such as tomatoes, potatoes, and chillies, which have become hugely integrated into Indian cuisines. Arab traders also brought foreign influence such as coffee and asafoetida powder.

India’s conquest periods have also greatly shaped the development of its cuisines. For instance, Mughal conquerors, who occupied India between the early 1500s and late 1600s, deeply integrated India’s culinary practices with Persian flavours. The culinary practices involved the use of cream and butter in sauces, as well as meat and nuts in specific dishes such as biryanis, samosas, and pulaos. These dishes were draw influenced by Persian cuisines.

Review 1 Every time when we visit Singapore we always go to this restaurant. Food is so delicious that I cannot describe it.

We love Ritz Carlton, we love Colony. Thanks a lot for keeping high standards and service. – Kristina Kalde

Review 1 Great place for a good food.. Taste authentic. Generous portions and very affordable. Recommended! – AwBoon HowBoris
Review 2 Easily located lovely black and white house along Scotts Road. Was here for the Sunday brunch buffet with friends for the first time. There was a private event happening on the grounds, so I was expecting the staff to be pretty busy that day. The restaurant manager was in a pleasant mood and showed us to our table. The service staff were attentive enough to make sure our glasses were full and clear off the used plates. The spread of food for the brunch wasn’t exactly expansive but definitely it was more refined to what I am used to in other famed restaurants or eateries. The manager was nice enough to come round our table to check if we had an enjoyable meal. This might just be a brunch service but overall I was truly expecting more out from a Michelin restaurant. – Matthew Lee

Review 3 I am a tourist who wants to try some Indian cuisine. Service is great, atmosphere is pretty good. I ordered vegetables with rice, mango lassi and fish curry. Looks good but for me it is a bit salty, and I have to ask for more white rice (free of charge) to finish the dish. But I saw many Indian friends were having food here, so I think the food is good for the people who like strong flavour and I am just not used to salty food. 😀 – Ziyue Li

The menu improved are very well spread and there are a lot of vegetarian options. The Ford feels very authentic. The only problem being the place is too heavy on the wallet. I guess the good quality it’s good but not that great that the price punt be placed at its current position. All in all I must say it’s worth the visit definitely once. The overall experience was quite nice and the service was good. Though a little slow, ended up with well presented and tasty food. – Karthik
Review 2 This is the BEST INDIAN RESTAURANT I’ve tried in Singapore. Maybe I haven’t tried enough Indian restaurants to justify this statement, but it was so memorable and delicious.

Review 1 4.5 if I can rate this the way I want on google! That said – Really tasty Indian food tucked away in Raffles City where the aroma hits you before you enter the restaurant and gets you salivating.
The food tasted as good as it smelt where the most unassuming but amazing dish for me was the Bharva Mushrooms. Curries (not featured) were so great and definitely punched in all the great flavors.
Service was really great and they also had a live band (of sorts) entertaining you as you dine! – helly

Review 1 The ambience is nice for romantic dinner. Interior Decor of the hotel is amazing.
Soups are nice. Main course is normal. Not spicy even though we demanded for spicy food.
Could improve hospitality a bit as the staff is not that attentive. – Swati

What Do Indian Restaurants Sell in Singapore?

Most people would be curious to find out what local Indian restaurants sell to their customers. These lists of remarkable Indian food are introduced in Singapore with a touch of culture and tasty favouring:

  • Pickles

Pickles are general side dishes or also known as mixed vegetables. They are also served by Chinese and Malays in their traditional food.

  • Nasi biryani

This is a popular Indian Muslim dish consisting of saffron rice and tasty, thick meat. It is sold by both Indians and Malays, especially essential at Malay weddings. 

  • Curry

This is the most basic Indian vegetable or meat gravy sauce. It is also used in local Chinese and Malay ‘traditional’ cuisine. A Peranakan example is Laksa, which is super scrumptious using coconut milk, noodles, meat, spices and herbs. A Eurasian example is Devil curry, while a Chinese example is Chilli crab. 

  • Fish head curry

As an iconic Singapore dish, it is invented by Indians for the Chinese palate which values textures. This kind of dishes is not found in India.

  • Indian Rojak

Just like its name, Rojak, this is a dish of salad with a mixture of deep fried battered potatoes, eggs, seafood, tofu and other items with a hot and sweet chilli sauce. Once again, such dish does not exist in India and is pretty unique to Singapore.

  • Roti Prata

Also known as flat bread, it is made of flour added with other unique ingredients to add favours such as eggs, durian, cheese, Nutella chocolate, strawberry sauce, sugar, onions, curry and so on. This is also like ‘Singapore’s croissant’ and a popular supper after leaving nightclubs.

  • Indian Mee goreng

Indian Mee goreng is made with yellow noodles, prepared ‘Indian style’ and fried with spices, minced meat, green peas and potatoes. 

  • Murtabak

This is served like a Roti Prata added with minced chicken, mutton, beef or sardines.

  • Roti john

A split, panfried baguette topped with egg, minced mutton (lamb) and onions, and served with tomato ketchup.

  • Teh tarik

Literally known as ‘pulled tea’, it is named after its preparation technique. The tea is poured from two cups, using a pulling technique from great heights.

In fact, there are so many other Indian foods in Singapore that are less widely available foods, but which can still be found in several areas serving a more specifically Indian cuisines, such as Little India or Geylang.

Cost of Indian Restaurants in Singapore

There are almost a hundred Indian restaurants in Singapore, all concentrated in the Little India area. The price range for the meals per person will differ around $10 to $100 – depending on its reputation and location. Usually the few upmarket restaurants cost around $20 to $25 per person.
