Nice simple burgers, just as the name suggests.
It's a little kiosk but has enough seating for about 10 pax.

Price point about $10 per person. I ordered 'Äyam Penyet feast' which had chicken burger, coke can, fries and chicken nuggets.
The food was oily but tasty. Can be considered a little treat.

Access to the place is easy. It's at B1 level of City Square mall. Same floor as the cab drop-off or the MRT, whichever you choose.

Looks great, tastes great. Authentic taste, genuine Arabic vibe to the place.

I would not call it complete value for money at $40. There is a half platter which starts at 20 though.

Staff is nice and friendly.

This nondescript Chander Road joint (a short walk from Little India MRT station) is a tad more off the beaten tourist track than nearby Banana Leaf Apolo, which basically means lower prices and more authentic vibes! When we visited just past noon on a Friday, the place was throbbing with Indian families and the working class, many of whom stayed only long enough to greedily scarf down their meal. If you fancy staying for a leisure meal without feeling compelled to give up your spot, head here for a late lunch (around 2pm) or an early dinner (6pm), before the queues begin. There's no price menu here — after they lay out your banana leaf with a scoop of curried vegetables, sambar and chilli chutney, servers come around with free-flow rice and trays piled high with bowls of dishes. Pick what you fancy without fear that it'll cost a bomb at the end. Our meal for three, including a fried fish fillet, a curry fish fillet, curry chicken and spicy prawns worked out to only $29.30 in total. We weren't crazy about the curry fish (even though the gravy was delicious) but the rest were delicious, especially the turmeric fried fish. Pro tip: Most eat sans utensils (right hand only!) but cutlery is provided upon request.

A type of unleavened flatbread, chapati is a less commonly eaten bread compared to the flakier, buttery prata Singaporeans are used to. Simply made from wholewheat flour and water, these toasty breads are the perfect complement to tasty curries. Azmi, a tiny stall within a coffeeshop (Thye Chong Restaurant) on the corner of Norris Road, has probably served the best chapati since 1956. You will first be struck by the irresistible aroma in the air, and then by the uncle with the long white beard wearing a sarong and flipping handmade chapatis on the griddle. Pick the Keema ($3.40), a minced mutton curry cooked with peas and potatoes, to go with two Azmi Chapati ($0.90) — a simple meal that will satisfy. If you're not eating alone, also share a vegetable dish of your choice. The nice thing about all the curries at Azmi is that they're never too salty, ensuring you can wipe your plate clean. Use your hands if you're comfortable, it truly tastes better!

Price $20/PPax

I had butter chicken and Purina parantha. Place is nicely made but self serve only.

Price is very high for the portion. It costed me $16 and I just ordered 1 dish, which was a very small size.

Didn’t have more money for sweet dish. Will only come back to bring special guests. Won’t be back here again.
