Welcome to Upper Bukit Timah. Looking for Indian places?

A rare example of a rendition that has only gotten better, improving with time.
.
As long as a forearm, the thick chunky rendition has thin crisp pan-fried dough folded and layered with a generous helping of ingredients. Love that it's non-greasy.
.
Includes wispy chicken egg, crisp red onions, and a choice of either tender turmeric spiced minced mutton, or chewy shredded chicken.
.
Has addictive smoky bready eggy meaty vegetal salty savoury spice flavour. Wholesome sides of fresh lettuce and crisp cucumber, both with vegetal sweet flavour.

Savour the robust flavours of Chicken Tikka Biryani at DHABA1376 in Beauty World Food Centre.
Affordable and delightful, it’s an Indian treat that won’t burden your wallet. Add a touch of spice to your day with this satisfying meal—a true feast for your taste buds!

The service was smooth and fast :) the chef was also very polite and nice :) would recommend. The food was also pretty good for its price of 1 for 1 :) will definitely be back again. Would recommend the tikka briyani

Al Azhar opens till 2am daily, so this go to spot for late night supper, even at 1am, also damn crowded.

Al Azhar has a very extensive menu, got seafood, got Indian food, got Muslim food, got Zhi Char dishes also.

Tandoori chicken(whole chicken)- the chicken must be deformed or born without hands, because the chicken wings were missing from this order for whole chicken. The bbq taste was damn good, one of the better tandoori Chicken I ever had, honestly. But the missing chicken wings are a little worrying.

Maggie Goreng- very flavourful, seasoning taste very distinct. Quite a solid dish

Chicken Cheese Murtabak- I always have Murtabak when I visited Al Azhar. The serving is damn huge la, and the corners of this Murtabak is crispy. Chicken was rather dry though. Really struggle to finish, so huge.

Not always available

This was insane. Tender, mildly chewy tripe pieces with the most complex aromatic dryish curry. Explosive spices

Must try!

Not reviewing cos it's the same items we got last time, but the fact that I rarely go back to a restaurant, much less order the same items should be sufficient info regarding how insanely good the food here is

When they ask you if you want fish or ckn curry, just get both

Pappadums are great at scooping up sauces and such

And honestly the mutton, although not the most tender, combines w the crazy intense sauce to give a slightly jammy texture which was quite interesting

Lovely, and a must try no matter where u stay. They are the best that I can recall. But the foods are spicy tho, enough to slow you down and necessitate sips of their excellent lime juice. How special lime juice tastes when it's freshly squeezed instead of made from concentrate

Their rendition is functionally the baseline standard.
.
With medium sized, chunky boneless king fish, flaky and lean with mild smoky meaty spice savoury salty flavour.
.
Served with a crunchy juicy cucumber and red onion salad, with vegetal sweet spice notes.

Dinner before class, back when I studied nearby.
.
The fillets of boneless king fish are larger than most, tender moist flaky in texture, satisfying with smoky meaty sweet savoury spice flavour.
.
Luscious mint chutney on the side, bright with vegetal herbal sweet flavour, to pair.

Their rendition has the most pronounced use of fresh and pureed tomato, including large sliced tomato and tender sliced red onions, resulting in a thick creamy chunky gravy with vegetal sweet savoury spice flavour.
.
The boneless cream dory fish fillets are moist and flaky, absorbing the tasty flavours of the gravy. Feels like there's more vegetables though.
.
You can request more or less spicy, as the default packs a mild heat.
