Looking for Indian places?

After all the indulgent CNY feasting, we were craving something different and stumbled upon Masala Tandoor for dinner. Is it just me, or does the East Coast/Marine Parade area have a surprising number of Indian restaurants? With barely any social media buzz, we relied on Google Reviews to decide, and it turned out to be a great find.

We started with the Amritsari Fish, boneless nuggets battered with a medley of spices, before moving on to sharing plates of Aloo Gobi and Butter Chicken, paired with Chicken Dum Biryani and Chicken Tikka Biryani. And of course, no Indian meal is complete without freshly baked Garlic Naan, perfect for mopping up all that rich, flavorful gravy.

Boss and staff were so friendly, patient and helpful. 1 for 1 is for all main courses on their Indian and Indian-Chinese menus. The Burpple deal was easily redeemed with no frills.
Food was really good - butter chicken and garlic spicy chicken both went so well with Naan and Rice.
There is no GST, complimentary water and complimentary crackers with this yummy Thai-like chilli sauce with it.
I would definitely recommend this place and come again.

I preferred the Crispydoori (fried) to the OG (baked) for its crunch and heavier-spiced sauce🐓🔥 The masala fries though thick, were reallyyyy crispy and made better dipped in harissa mayo.

[CHINESE GARDEN, SINGAPORE] Westies, this one is for you 😍 I know saying that this may be the best prata in SG is such a bold statement, but come on, with 6/6 people in my group saying the same thing, this is definitely worth a HUGE mention.

Their prata base itself was so darn crispy and satisfying. Just think about biting into a crunchy savoury crust, with a fluffy buttery center... You will be addicted! I ordered Cheese ($3) and Egg ($2.40) and I was surprised to know that the egg version was still relatively crispy on the edges 😍

They serve their prata with curry and sambal, and though their curry is aromatic and flavourful without being too salty, their sambal was the bomb. With heavy anchovy flavour, this was so flavourful and changed the whole flavour dimension of the prata!

However, do note that the prata is really huge and extremely rich, so maybe 1 or 2 is enough 🤣 I was so stuffed after eating 2! I don't see any halal logo anywhere as well, so do take note!

they're quite heavy-handed on the oil but not oily how to be crispy😂

Was craving some butter chicken and luckily there was a Burpple deal at Banjara, for 1-for-1 mains (choose from kebab, seafood, chicken, mutton, eggs, and vegetables?). We went with the Butter Chicken as well as the Prawn Masala (both $22.90). The chicken and prawns were cooked nicely, especially the chicken pieces which were so tender. Both gravies were also delicious (and not so spicy) and went very well with the Garlic Naan ($5.90) which we added on. Ambience was also quiet and chill on a Sunday evening and service was friendly. Would return to try other offerings from their extensive menu!

North Indian dinner kinda night!

I had Khansama a few evenings ago and am glad I finally tried something new: the spiced cauliflower and potatoes dish, Aloo Gobi/ Alu Gobhi ($12.50). Well-seasoned, this comforting dish marries tender potatoes and cauliflower with a blend of aromatics, cooked with onions and tomatoes. With little to no spicy kick, it was wonderfully moreish, and the medley of textures was very enjoyable.

And of course, it is not North Indian dinner if I don’t get Butter Chicken and Naan. I love Butter Chicken but I have not tried all that many as I am usually afraid of the differing spice level so for Khansama’s rendition ($19.50) it is a little spicy and more savoury than sweet. Not overly buttery and quite spice-forward (I do prefer sweeter more buttery variants so I would say this is more balanced and not too cloying). The chicken chunks were tender and flavourful, perfect with their warm and fragrant Garlic Butter Naan ($4.50). Overall, it was pricey for the portion but the items we tried were tasty and boldly seasoned.

Indian House brings the bold flavours of North India to the heart of Boat Quay! With authentic vibes and dishes made with pride, every visit is a flavour-packed experience. Even better, #BurppleBeyond gets you a 1-for-1 Chicken dish or 30% off your total bill!

A must-try is the Butter Chicken — tender, marinated chicken in a rich, creamy tomato sauce. It’s a fan favourite, especially when paired with warm garlic naan.

What I had at Mexican-Indian restaurant:
+ Crispy chicken dosa taco. 🌮
+ Masala Chai ☕🫖
