I am

This place is always crowded, we had to queue for a table late on a Saturday night but table-​turn is pretty fast.
Had the Sloppy Burger and the Chicken Satay Burger, perfectly acceptable for the price. Bun and fries were pretty good as well.
Service was pretty decent, I’m surprised by some of the negative reviews below.
Overall, I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here, but it’s a pretty OK casual place within the Arab St area.

A pleasant hangout spot for many — looks delectable in photos, shortcoming in taste.

Had the fish and chips and Iced Chai Tea Latte!
The Iced Chai Tea Latte was a winner, there are only so many places in Singapore that does great Chai Latte. I have been on the lookout ever since I got back from Down Under. ;)
The fish and chips were all cooked and done nicely just not my personal liking. I personally prefer my fish and chips to be more tender rather than damp on the inside. But the fries on the sides were good too. :)

I had their signature «Charcoal-​grilled juicy beef burger» which is charcoal-​grilled beef patty topped with pineapple, onions and melted cheese. I can’t agree with them more! The beef patty is very juicy and yummy:) But I feel a little bit expensive.

This is actually not a review for their dish or whatsoever, but basically if you are thinking to head over to this place for lunch or dinner, just so you know that this place is temporarily closed down for renovation. Based on the sign they put on their café, it says that they will be back in July.
Was gonna go to this place for lunch and was disappointed to know that they are not opened. It was my fault though for not checking their FB page.
However, this is what they posted on FB: «closed from Monday, 15 June till the end of the month of June! We will be undergoing renovations and more exciting things are still ahead of us! We wish all Muslims a blessed Ramadan. In the meantime, our signature rainbow cake, red velvet cake and rainbow crepes (and more) will still be available at @andwhyatbalilane»

Given the mixed reviews, I was rather surprised by how absolutely delicious the original burger was here. While it’s certainly not a steal in terms of cost, if you have a hankering for good, juicy, decadent burger, this place does the job. I’ve been to Berg’s (only down the street) several times when that burger craving comes about, but am usually disappointed. Additionally, the fries that come with the burger meal are quite tasty as well!

Very cute place at the corner of Haji Lane and N Bridge Road. I came here mainly for their rainbow crêpe and it did not disappoint. Perhaps a little pricy but I like it overall. Friendly staff too!

This place completely exceeded my expectations! Even though the queue was long it was quick and efficient. My husband and I were seated within ten minutes and as soon as the menus came, we were ready to order. As I posted on a previous review, we love jalapeño poppers and they had a special menu which included the poppers for a limited time. They were amazing! Just the right amount of kick, cheese oozing out, and covered with a crispy shell. Next, the burgers! I got the signature charcoal-​grilled beef patty topped with battered onion rings, sunny side up eggs and greens. I opted to add the bacon and again, amazing! Everything was made to perfection. I love that this place is all halal and hipster friendly at the same time. Can’t wait to come back here!

We ordered the fish and chips as we fancied something English/​European ;-) and they were advertizing home made dutch fries… which turned out to be from a freezer bag as far as we could tell… bleh! :-(
The fish was extremely good though… and the iced coffees were fine…
Service was really quite awful… Overall it was an average experience and probably not worth going out of your way for…

This place is always busy, and I was curious to how good it was. The burger was sizeable, I had the one with a huge onion ring and a sunny side-​up egg. The egg was nice and runny, they way I like it. They charge for water here ($ 2), so in the end burger with fries and a water was $ 20. They give you a lot of fries so you will fill up on one plate.
Service was fine, the waiters were nice. For me, it’s another burger place. Not bad, but not something I’d go out of my way for.

Nice interior design — a lot to do with bikes. It was much easier to find the location than what I thought. Went here on a Wednesday around 6.15pm and was seated pretty quickly as it wasn’t crowded during then. One star off the rating due to the space and the heat from the outdoors. But since I was early, I was able to choose a better seat.
Looking at the menu, my eyes was towards the fish burger. I wanted to eat the fish and chips but wanted to try the burger at the same time so I decided on the burger instead. For the drink, I tried Pina Colada in Blue Pill (under the mocktail section).
The burger took quite awhile to arrive on the table. It comes with fries — bonus. Pricing wise it was reasonable as this café is located near to a touristy spot. With all the ingredients on it, the burger itself looked big. I was also given chili sauce on the side too for my fries.
I ate all my fries first before I started eating my burger. The fries was crispy, medium sized cuts and mixed well with the chili sauce they provided. The burger, I split into two. The top bun and the fish fillet with tartar sauce (one half) and the lettuce, tomato, cheese and the bottom part of the bun (another half).
I consumed the first half first after the fries and felt full after that. Unfortunately, I was too full for the second half. I also tried their chicken wings and thighs for appetizer. The appetizer was so-​so. Overall, I still like the burger!
For the drink, it was expensive. Would rather go for soft drinks but as a foodie, I also hunt for good beverages. Customer service was much better than what the other reviewers had mentioned. One of them was extremely friendly — sat me down with a humor and wasn’t giving attitude when I wanted to change seats. This is considered a Halal café. Will definitely be back again :)
Tried the rainbow Mille crêpe — quite sweet to my taste.

I can only comment on the dessert cos that’s all I’ve had here at I AM. All I can say, don’t let the rainbow colours fool you!
It’s a great place for photo op, the same goes to the lovely Coloured and unusually large serving of the rainbow cake as well as the multi-​colour Mille crêpe. But that’s pretty much it.
The cake and Mille crêpe are dry and bland. To pay close to $ 9 for a slice, it’s not really value for money. It’s a measurement of the size but the taste totally do not live up to its sheer presence.
Not sure why it’s always so crowded, hopefully the recipe will improve soon.

*****AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE*****
This place is a definite tourist trap. What defines a tourist trap? Here’s a quick rundown.
1. Service sucks.
2. Food sucks.
3. Beverages suck.
4. High prices.
5. Soliciting for tips that they don’t deserve.
1. Their salad was described as fresh mixed greens, sundried tomatoes, onions, olives, croutons, and mustard dressing. Instead, I received a small bowl of wilted/​browned greens, two sundried tomatoes, and croutons. What’s missing? Yup — the onions, olives, and mustard dressing. So, when I brought the dish back to them and pointed out what was missing, they offered no apologies and returned the bowl a few minutes later with some onions and olives thrown in there. They didn’t even bother to replace the wilted greens or make a new salad. Also, the dumb waitress forgot to bring eating utensils a.k.a. forks. It took her about a full minute to get them. How long does it take to get forks? Your restaurant is tiny. It’s not like you had to walk 50 meters across the café to get them. It should’ve taken no more than 10 seconds.
2. The waiter recommended that I buy a rainbow cake slice for $ 8.90. I was fooled and ordered the cake. While the portion was large enough for two people, the taste was pretty crappy. Don’t even bother with their cakes. I asked these customers, who sat next to us, about their red velvet cake that they barely touched. They said they wouldn’t recommend it. No surprise.
3. Their fruit drinks sucked too. Enough said.
4. That small old salad was $ 9? Really?
5. I noticed a glass jar by the register that asked for tips so that the employees can take a trip to Amsterdam. Why on earth would anyone help these lazy employees go on a holiday to Amsterdam so that they can get high? They are already charging me a 10% service charge, and they want more money? They can’t even make a proper fresh salad.
Save yourself the trouble and walk southwest on North Bridge Road for about 400 meters (past Raffles Hospital) and you’ll find a mall on the right side. It has better food, drinks, employees, and reasonable prices.
