Food is ah-ma-zing. The chicken 65 is incredibly crispy and the best chicken kebab was to die for. Super juicy and tender, me and my husband ate it all up before we even got through our naans. Got the tikka masala as well which was really flavourful, and not too spicy (though uou could probably ask them to adjust the spice to your liking). Paneer kulcha naan was also great, but the garlic roti was a little dry. I thought it was garlic butter originally but it was actually just garlic pieces on top.

Only gripe I had was that they were playing baby music for a family who came before us and continued it until they left. It was very nice of them but it was mildly difficult to sit through baby shark a couple times…

Food is pretty good but the waiting time for the food was quite long (visited on a Sunday night).

Dishes worth ordering the holy butter chicken (more buttery than tomatoey type), okra masala (sooo flavourful), kashmiri naan (crispy and generous with fillings), tandoori chicken (quite spicy), lamb biryani.
Skip the egg fried rice which was rather bland (but suitable for kids as non-spicy).

Friendly and helpful staff.
Suggest to reserve as it can be crowded.

The butter chicken was fantastic and would definitely go back again just for that dish. The other items we had were all pretty tasty too. Also loved the lamb kebabs for appraiser. But the only thing is the restaurant seemed very understaffed causing long delays for food

Very good Indian food in the Katong district. Be forewarned, the dishes can be on the spicy side, so you may need to request the staff for recommendations if you can’t take spice. The Chicken Korma is a tasty dish that is not spicy, while the Kadai Fish is an excellent fiery dish. Pictured here is the Lamb Biryani and Masala Tea, both of which are excellent. The Lamb in the Lamb Biryani was very tender, which is a rare find. Vegetarian options are available. Service staff are great!

We ordered the vegetable biryani and butter chicken, and both were excellent. The biryani alone was incredibly flavorful, easily one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The butter chicken was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Overall, a very satisfying meal and definitely a place I’d return to.
