The Song of India

I have to say the one restaurant that I wanted to return to on my second trip to Singapore was The Song of India. The food is excellent. It did not disappoint on my second visit. My coworker and I ordered one starter and split one vegetarian and one lamb dish. The one thing to watch out for is they don’t ask you the level of spice that you want. I love spicy and it was very reasonable for me. My coworker thought the cauliflower dish was too spicy. I loved it. Definitely worth a visit especially if you are on an expense account.

I actually went here on my birthday with a bunch of friends and their families so I had a good time there. First impressions were that this was a very posh restaurant. I was right. The whole place itself looked very grand and the furniture was great. The lighting was perfect and it just makes you feel rich just by being there. It’s set in an old Singaporean Bungalow-​ish home so thats pretty unique.
Now the food. Was honestly one of the best North Indian food I have ever tasted and that’s coming from a South Indian. The food was cooked perfectly and I didn’t feel like there was much room for improvement. There were Indian desserts, side dishes, main courses and just being there and eating their food which is so rich in flavor just made you feel like a king. The customer service was great and all the waiters were smartly dressed so I have no comment on that. Only problem is there might be a bit of a jam in the road outside this area but that isn’t because this restaurants is well known. It’s because it’s located in the city area or at least, close to the city area.
So if you are looking for an Indian Restaurant to bring your partner out on a date, look no further! This restaurant is perfect for the two of you. Although quite pricey, the food is definitely worth it.

I went here with my wife out of curiosity as we always passed this restaurant in the taxi on the way home. The menu is extensive, and they have tins of choice. My wife and I both opted for vegetarian options for our meal. The Daal Makhni, Kofta and vegetarian appetizer sampler ask looked great, however the taste didn’t hit the mark. The flavors just weren’t there or strong enough for real Indian food! The prices were extravagant, and not worth the price for the food we recieved.
Part of me wants to return and try a few other dishes to see if we just chose the wrong ones, but I also think I can get 2 – 3 good Indian meals for the price of this restaurant.

For the price, it was just ok.
Chicken tikka starter too thick with coating and dry.
Tikka masala main flavour was good but not a wow.

When you dine at Song of India you are paying for the atmosphere. This restaurant is set in a lovely historic Black & White Singapore home. The appetizer (s) I had (Indian sampler) was very well thought out offering a good mix of items. The main course was nothing special and honestly I feel I could have received the same item at a hawker center for much less. The waitstaff was very attentive.

Great northern Indian with smart service in a nicely appointed facility. All the dishes as expected served fresh and hot with care. A little on the pricey side for Indian but it’s all done very well.

I don’t particularly crave Indian food, but I do crave Song of India food. Located in an elegant black and white next to Indocafe /​the White House and just a few doors down from the Sheraton on Scotts by the Newton MRT, this restaurant has an elegant, romantic feel and suburb service. The food is amazing. Someone who knew what he was doing took charge of the ordering and did a commendable job. Fantastic food. On the must return list.

Definitely higher priced for Indian food, but then again I always feel like a princess when eating here. The atmosphere is very upscale, and I love all the deep, rich colors. The wine list is extensive, and the food is refined Indian food. Everything I have had is delicious here. I would highly recommend it for a fine dining Indian experience.

I love that this restaurant is in a Black & White house along Scotts Road.
The interior is pretty nice but a little too dark when you go for lunch. It felt like I was having dinner and got blinded by the sun when I got out. (Yes, it did not rain that afternoon!)
So I decided to have lunch there that day after passing in front so many times. During lunch, they have a buffet so I decided to try it to sample a few of their dishes.
The food was just okay. The naam was hard, the vegetables dry, and the meats in the curries not very tender. Maybe the A La Carte is better, but the buffet is not worth trying.

A pretty restaurant decked out in the the premises of a bungalow, how quaint! The setting is elegant, and much pride has obviously gone into the décor and comfortable furnishing. It’s a bit of a pity that more people don’t patronise the restaurant. Indeed, when I was there for lunch one weekday, there were only three tables filled, including ours.
There was a buffet going on at an attractive rate, and we partook in the offer — a rather wide spread of curries, naans, meats, vegetables, biryani and even dessert. Food was well executed even for a buffet standard, and there were vegetarian friendly options. The naans are a little on the chewier side than what I’m used to though. My only other gripe was that the servers were a little too keen to clear off the buffet items on the dot. A quick flip through the menu evidenced that the a la carte dishes were on the pricy side though. I suppose with the addition of wine, your credit card might smoke a little at the end of your meal.
Parking is easy, given that there are ample lots around the bungalow (and not many customers around).
