Teh tarik was decent. Not too sweet as requested, though it seemed to have compromised on the creaminess of it.

Prata here was pretty average, nothing mind blowing. It’s on the softer side, but with a bit of crispiness on the sides. The fish curry was of a medium to thick consistency and had a good amount of spicy kick. It went well with the Prata.

Managed to snag a good briyani deal with Burpple Beyond from Yasha Briyani. Yasha Briyani occupies a small unit at the retail area of the Midtown Residences, where seating area is extremely limited. I’d highly recommend to takeaway your meals!

The Briyani itself was so aromatic, and the basmati rice was fragrant. The curry had a wonderful texture, a medium consistency of not too thick nor not too thin. Went for the boneless chicken which came in chicken chunks, it did seem a bit dry, but I guess that would have been expected. Overall, I thought the Briyani was very decent, and I think all the elements came together pretty well. The curry could have done with a bit more oomph flavour, but it was decently good and spicy enough!

Better than average chicken briyani. Rice was fragrant and flavourful in itself, and the curry was rich and aromatic. I went this because I saw a number of eating it, and it looks too good. It was not difficult to find the stall, because during lunch time there was a queue. But fret not, because service seems to be pretty efficient. A popular choice people seem to go for us the Crispy Chicken Briyani, which comes with a piece of fried chicken and curry on the side. Though I didn’t go for that option, I was satisfied with mine. The chicken breast was huge, though inevitably dry. But the overall taste of the rice and curry attested to the quality of this plate of affordable priced briyani. And if anybody can enlighten me on what those spicy bits are at the side, please do, for it made this plate so much enjoyable! I loved how it gave a crunch with every bite of my meal.

Absolutely amazing chicken biryani! Chicken was tender, free flow curry was super spicy and flavourful. Super worth it. Delicious food, decently priced, and great ambience. I’ll keep coming back here again for this!

Super spicy and tasty prawns! Cooked with onions and dry chilli and supposedly a popular dish in Chettinadu. I liked it a lot but this is a dry dish, so you can’t dip your naans in it! I ate it with rice. Would love to try a curried prawn dish from here some day😊

Tender chicken and fish tikka, huge tiger prawns and paneer tikka. You get to try a variety of meats with this platter albeit pricey. So if you do have a decisive choice on what kind of tikka you want, it would be better just going for that!

This was a decent place of Briyani. Curry was adequately spicy although I felt like it could’ve been spicier and more flavourful. The chicken was huge! And the fried onions that came with the basmati rice have an added crunch to it. A good Indian food fix for those who are craving it and around Tampines Mall!

This is essentially Butter Chicken. I’m not making things up, I pointed to this in the menu and the staff just said ‘okay butter chicken!’😂 but as described, I got what I expected. This made the perfect complementary dip for the naan. The curry was thick, creamy and was a wonderful blend of spices and flavours that included both butter and cream. A decent amount of tender chicken pieces as well. It was a really great experience and the staff were very lovely😊 foresee myself coming here for more authentic South Asian cuisine!

Hot & spicy tiger prawns in a thick gravy. I loved the flavour of this! The thing about South Asian cuisine is that I would never be able to adequately describe Nor express its flavours in words, simply because of how they cook it so meticulously with different spices. So here is an extremely simplified take on this dish. It was Sufficiently spicy, and it is not the kind of thick, cream-based textures other curries would offer. It came with 5 tiger prawns, and although I would love more, I felt that it was a pretty decent portion for the price paid and how well done the dish was.

Garlic naan that is recommended on the menu! This consists of 2 portions, each portion is $4 and is sliced into 2. Thus, pictured is 4 half-portions which are in itself extremely huge. Garlic flavour was great, it wasn’t too oily; I loved the aroma and the texture. Turns out they actually bake it in a tandoor - perhaps this method really elevates the taste, texture and overall deliciousness of this naan.

Where do I start when it comes to perfection? I have been craving butter chicken for the longest time, and this easily satisfies it. This butter chicken was thick, creamy, silky, smooth and rich - anything you’d expect from this dish done well and authentic. There were many layers to flavours of this dish - slightly sweet, slightly sour, slightly buttery, slightly spicy. And when they all come together... pure delight! Dipped my naans with it, and it made my day!
P.S. Because of COVID-19 and their halt on their lunchtime buffet it seems like their crowd has dwindled, and while on the pricier side of food within Biopolis, service here was great and impeccable. The staff were so extremely lovely. Can’t wait to come back here to try so much more again!
