No 1 go to place for prata and thosai. Downsides are the weekend crowd and parking situation
Where is your go-to-spot whenever your prata cravings hit? I am sure the popular prata joint - Casuarina Curry, is one of your top favourites! Good news for all Easties because they are now open at Aljunied!
Similar to the outlet at Upper Thomson, @casuarinacurry_aljunied is best known for their prata, but their menu is extensive! You can expect Briyani to Murtabak to Thosai and many more! Do check out their daily specials too! We had Sambal Quail that day which paired really well with their Briyani Rice and Butter Chicken.
Apart from the usual prata flavors, they have interesting chef’s innovation such as Eggs Benedict Prata. With the eggs poached perfectly, I absolutely enjoyed this dish - crisp prata paired with flowy, creamy eggs and doused in curry sauce. What’s not to love?!
To end off our meal, we had a dessert prata - Banana Chocolate. Sweet and crisp, it was the perfect dish to round up our prata experience!

We were thinking of a snack to get at Casuarina Curry and for a one-of-a-kind experience, you may wish to try out the sambal sotong at Casuarina! While the sotong was pretty standard, the sambal chilli paste used was EXTREMELY spicy so do beware before ordering it. That being said, we really loved the spicy chilli paste and we found that it can go pretty well with your Prata as well if you like spicy food and you think the curry is not spicy enough! 😝
For $5.50, the serving was fairly reasonable and we loved that the food was served pretty quickly at Casuarina too (everything came within 10 minutes), despite the stall being really busy with the supper crowd.
The main difference between the plaster prata and the egg prata is that for the plaster, the egg is outside and plastered above the dough! This makes the egg taste much more prominent, although we preferred the egg prata because the dough for the plaster prata wasn't as crispy. ☹️ Furthermore, it might be less value-for-money because it costs the same as an egg prata, yet the serving is much smaller. It's still a chef's recommendation so this is definitely worth a try!
Don't go for strange dishes (e.g., egg Benedict Prata) at Casuarina Curry and stick to their standard pratas, including their egg prata! Casuarina's egg prata is really huge and we love that the edges are really crispy - you can get that satisfying crunch when you bite off the edges! The egg can only be found nearer the middle of the Prata though, although this means you get to taste the "plain prata" when you bite the sides!
The dish costs $2.50 now, which is pretty steep for egg prata although we think it's quite reasonable given it's size! Casuarina was pretty crowded when we visited at 10 pm, suggesting that it is a pretty great supper spot despite it's inaccessible location. Do note that they are not a 24-hour eatery and they will chase you out at 11.30 pm!
Their prata cannot make it. Egg prata no egg taste. Coin prata no sugar taste too. Plain prata, taste a bit overcooked too.. no taste their prata. Only their briyani can be eaten. It smells really nice also.. won't go back there anymore...
Despite being on the pricier side, they are generous with their ingredients and portions! Prata was crispy as well.
We decided to try out Casuarina's briyani and we felt that the butter chicken was really delicious as the sauce had a pretty creamy texture (our favourite) and the chicken was quite generous! However, the chicken was a little tough and the sauce was a lot spicier than it looks so you may want to reconsider if you are not good with spicy food.
The rice, however, was rather average as it was a little too moist and there wasn't much fragrance from the spices in the dish. For the serving size, $7 is a pretty reasonable price though. We will probably stick to the pratas at Casuarina in future.
Casuarina's egg cheese Prata was REALLY huge and it spills out over the sides so it can be a slight challenge if you want to cut your Prata without it touching the table. The egg was on one side while the cheese was in the middle, and one end of the Prata was plain. Hence, you get to try three different types of Prata in this one dish, although we should still highlight that the egg and cheese segments are pretty crispy too! The price is a little steep at $4 however but I guess we need to pay more for a yummy dish! 😋
The Prata was really crispy and we love it! For $1.30, there are certainly cheaper options out there but we will be more than happy to come back here for their crispy Prata.
However, there are some downsides to be mindful of: (1) the stall can be a little disorganized as they missed out our plain Prata and we had to ask before they sent it to us 😑 (2), the location is rather inconvenient as you have to take a bus that travels along Upper Thomson Road to get there and (3) the curry is lukewarm when served so you need to eat your Prata straightaway or you will end up with room temperature curry on your Prata.
Second time having thosai! This was different from the one at Tampines round market - this one felt more like a thin pancake/minjiangkueh, soft throughout and with those little air bubbles that u see in pancakes. The potato filling was tasty! I’m not sure what’s the usual standard since I don’t eat thosai very often, but I thought this was pretty good. The 3 sauces were a nice accompaniment, one tastes like veg stew, the white one was very coconutty with some herbiness, and the last one was on the spicier side. The thosai was HUGE thank goodness we shared this + the plain & egg onion prata.
Plain prata was very crisp! I love that they smooshed it so that the moisture / steam can escape, allowing the prata to be crisp for a longer time. And also for the flaky layers to be more distinct.
The egg onion prata was crisp too. I liked how the egg onion prata was folded into a rectangle so you will get like a combi of 2 flavours - crisp “plain prata” right at the sides, and egg onion towards the middle. Also it’s quite huge also, it was threatening to spill out of the large round plate 😛
Isn't a cycling trip more fun when you know there's some good food at the end of it 😜 cycling to lower peirce reservoir rewarded us with Casurina's prata, plus they offered my favourite fish curry. Their rendition is slightly more sour, completely aligned with my taste buds.
The star of the show is the criiiispy prata that tears with a satisfying ripping sound. Contrary to popular beliefs, their egg prata is pretty good and worth the calories too!
This place always good in ruin dishes. Previous visit they dissapointed me with their super sour egg benefict prata. This time with soft and limpy paper thosai. Spent $15 for those on table. I wont recommend.
$2.10
Simple and nice
Ordered a variety of other food (Maggi Goreng, prata)
• all taste great and will definitely come back again to try all!
