EricJanuary 29, 2016masala chicken, mysore mutton, sambal prawn, fish head curry, fish cutlet, naan, biryani rice, cucumber raita, pumpkin dahl, papadam. served on banana leaf. in an old barracks building (the layover)
Kuo-yu LiangFebruary 9, 2018Fantastic fish curry served on a banana leaf. Seafood better than the meat dishes. Great service.
TingDecember 20, 2015Set in an colonial barrack in Dempsey Hills, IMHO the fish head curry here is better than Muthu's and Banana Leaf. Aircon seating are available at the back, near the cashiers.- Riann Goettl SeymourNovember 5, 2018Delicious unpretentious authentic Indian food in an old military mess hall! What more could you want? Friendly service too. Loves the chicken masala, mutton curry and biriyani. Enjoy!
- Jess ThiaMay 30, 2017Good fluffy rice texture and Delicious food here. I'll be back 😋👍 [p/s: I'd prefer the outdoors seats for lesser echo noise and better ambience.]
Supraja MuthukrishnanSeptember 11, 2020The biryani is very aromatic and tasty! The fish head curry and masala chicken are a must try!! The rasamalai was awesome as well!! Must try place :)
Erik IeNovember 16, 2016Both Chicken tandoori and tika is great soft fresh and chewy. Briani rice was great. Service could have been better. Need to cleaned the restaurant I guess. Floor a bit oily 😅
Dean JoeJuly 29, 2013Their fish head curry is pretty much a watered down version to suit the local palate compared to their regular curry. Order the latter if you seek a true blue Chettinad fish curry.
Y.August 2, 2016I had the curry fish head, butter paneer, cauliflower. They were so good. Given that the location is at Dempsey I expected it to be very touristy and expensive. Nope. Authentic Indian food.
- Rita MartinezMarch 25, 2014Great fish head curry in this place. Everything comes with side dishes, which are enough for a whole meal. Naan is not too great though.
Fish head curry is expensive. A must and a should try is their dry curry mutton and a ice cold lime juice. ❤️👍
justin balaDecember 22, 2018I like this place. It gives a retro feel, which is a speciality of this restaurant. Spacious and homely feel.
Love their fried cauliflower, chic tikka. masala, naan, curry fish head, papadum, fish cullet, soya sauce sotong, tandoori chic... in short, everything is nice even the condiments is nice...
Guy BlondeSeptember 21, 2014One of the best authentic Indian restaurants in Singapore. Always love coming here.
Suet Mei ThooJanuary 4, 2015Mutton is great stuff. Fish head curry can be a little too spicy to handle. And I couldn't, I admit defeat.
Shiang yee WongMay 19, 2017Masala chicken, fried pomfret, mutton varuval and briyani rice all yummy!- UncleJApril 3, 2016Always a reliable bet for fish head curry. Prawn curry is actually the best on the menu
Paul RasmussenJanuary 9, 2016Chicken masala is fantastic. Love the local atmosphere and lack of pretentiousness.
Elizabeth LeeDecember 24, 2017Curry fish head was so delicious and filling. Their naans were not bad too.
- allison keanFebruary 14, 2015Chicken masala and yellow dal were incredible. Fish head curry not spicy.
Ah Lai Huat AhJune 14, 2013Buffet worthy. 38 dollars for 2 with fish head curry. The best feeling ever.
Yummiest Southern Indian food. Been eating here since I was 8 years old.
Sarah Yana AkibSeptember 22, 2013The fish head curry is a must try other than eating from the big banana leafs.- Gerry TayJanuary 9, 2011My favorite fish head curry restaurant! Fish are spicy and fresh. Beats banana leaf and muthu's.
- Shameni TRJuly 31, 2010The food here is fantastic! Mysore mutton, fish head curry, masala chicken, fish cutlet & so on. Mouth-watering.
- Jack And The Bean StalkOctober 6, 2018Standard of the Fish Head Curry has dropped tremendously. Not catered to true Indian taste buds. Totally out.
The curry fish head here is awesome. Do try. Won't regret!
Virata GamanyAugust 31, 2018It's alright.. overrated though.. not exactly what they've hyped it up to be. The rice is clumpy though the mutton was good
eileen leeApril 19, 2010they try to make you order the curry fish head ( it costs more than the standard fare) but in fairness, it's pretty good. otherwise, a simple meal with dry mutton and squid is equally satisfying!
Travel ChannelNovember 14, 2011Try fish head and rice. As seen on Travel Channel’s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain.
