The restaurant (#07-00 Mustafa Centre, 171 Syed Alwi Road, tel : +65 6419 0749) reminded me of a post apocalyptic greenhouse setting. The interior appeared a lot older than what I had seen on photos and was almost - just almost looking like it was in a state of disrepair. In silence, it might have been Blade Runner-esque. The blazing sun that filtered in through the dome didn't help the fact that air conditioning was makeshift. Pretty sure we got tanned by just having lunch.
But their badam milk was really nice. Sweet, creamy, appropriately chilled and infused with a great aroma from cardamom. Very promising start here.
We enjoyed their murg makhani (butter chicken). It was creamy like most of the things we ordered coupled with a warmth from the spices and also the associated sweetness. One could also detect the smokiness from the chunks of chicken tikka mired in the gravy.
The other heart clogging goodness we went with was their gosht panipat - lamb with a pistachio gravy. Sweet, spicy, nutty and also rich. Couldn't identify any pistachio but we never expected to when we ordered it. This one had chunks of tender lamb.
One of the starches came in the form of their coconut uttapam. A competently done uttapam that was crisp on the edges and made better with the generous topping of finely shredded coconut.
Followed by some garlic cheese naan which was used to mop up all the delicious gravy options that we had.
