I had fried fish roe set meal and butter milk for lunch today. By any Singapore standard it is an average lunch but I was charged SGD 12/- much to my shock. This is more than double the price at any other similar places. Moreover, my clothes were smelling curry smell after seated in the restaurant for half hour. Not really a pleasant price to pay for an average food or for an below par ambiance. Never for me again.

Excellent South Indian food served on banana leaf. The mutton curry is really good, so too the fish cutlets which are really a fish and potato pasty deep fried. The local flower crabs are excellent too but can be messy to eat. The protocol is to order the mains which tend to be meat and seafood. Rice is served as a matter of course, also papadoms. The vegetables are part of the sides and don’t have to be separately ordered. Do ask for curry gravy which the waiter will slop on your rice. It’s part of the whole experience. Careful, it’s right spicy. Not toned down for tourists, or indeed many a Singaporean.

Awesome South Indian Food. Friendly & Accomodating staffs. A-1 Restaurant’s Chicken or Mutton Briyani is of a different level & simply superb. Must try their Mutton Chukka Briyani & their Tea or Bru Coffee won’t be dissapointed. Highly underrated South Indian Food Restaurant. Hope our locals will go and try out and u will know that they outdo the rest of the highly overrated famous South Indian Restaurants in Little India. Highly Recommended & won’t be disapointed at all.

Probably the best Indian food in Little India. 5 stars for food quality and taste. It’s a traditional eatery. So don’t expect exceptional service or seating. Great for those looking for a cultural experience.

Friend brought me to this restaurant, and I had a great (figuratively and literally) lunch. I ordered a mutton briyani, and shared fish meat patties, curry mutton, curry squid and fried fish chunks with my friend. I also had fresh lime juice drink, which was small but flavourful. Mutton briyani was good, with the mutton being generally tender. However, I liked the curry mutton a bit more. I usually don't like assam curry, but the curry squid's assam flavour was well-blended with other curry spices. The fish meat patties don't look appetizing, but are actually quite tasty. I love the substantial feel of the patty when I sink my teeth into it. The fried fish is batang, I believe. Well-seasoned and goes well with everything. The briyani rice and vegetables are free-flow, but I was completely sated by the initial serving. Good banana leaf restaurant, with relatively few seats, so do arrive a bit early.
