Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Went to had dinner with my friends. Staffs welcomed us and assisted promptly. Great smiles from everyone. Saravanan helped to take order and did a fantastic job in ensuring we had a great time. As we went there to celebrate a friend’s birthday, he helped...us with bringing the cake. Thank you for the service. The food was also very nice. Great variety.More

We had dinner here on our last night, unfortunately the worst we had. Rice they serve is a joke, cheapest rice at Aldi supermarket is way better than this, paid S$10.8 just for the rice. Of course, the bad rice makes the dishes taste not...really good either. Also, they messed up first order, took a while so I was basically done till my wife got the right food. She had Prawn Mango Curry and could nicely fish out all prawns from the curry as they were not pealed in the kitchen. Really sad experience to finish our trip here.More

At lunchtime we ordered and shared Malaba Chicken, Prawn Tikka and Gobi 65 (fried cauliflower) . The service was OK but the postprandial experience was offensive as I became unwell for the rest of the afternoon and then up all night with cramps, nausea and...D&V. One particular piece of chicken I consumed was slightly pink and undercooked and I believe this did the damage. My advice to future customers is “be wary”.More

After planning our visit to little India in Singapore for the sole purpose of eating delicious food, we decided to dine here. The food was outstanding and the size of the serving was more than filling. Their lime juice is worth writing home about! While...the food and service was amazing, the restaurant itself was a bit dingy and the bathrooms were truly disgusting and not well maintained.More

The worst service I have ever experienced in a restaurant in my life - and i lived in Belgium for 10 years😬. Went with my son on his last Friday in Singapore - as i know from past experience this is a good restaurant. No...interest from the staff in serving us - got the order wrong several times and took over 45 mins to bring us the first item in our order, cold. Had to wait another 15 for the rest to arrive. It wasn’t even particularly busy. Later when we had waited for our dessert for 30 mins (which didn’t arrive) the staff switched off the lights on our side of the restaurant effectively ejecting us and a party at another table and threw the bill on our table. Meanwhile the other half of the restaurant was still being served. Food was very ordinary too and overpriced. No apology at any point. Staff appeared to be arguing most of the time. Hard to fathom all the good reviews. very depressing experience.More

Glad we made the effort to walk that bit further out of the centre of little India to get here. Came fairly early and restaurant was quiet, but that soon changed. Excellent service from the staff, then the food. Wide range of choices but we...had a lamb and a chicken with dhal and the most fantastic cauliflower dish. Add onion pakora naan and rice and we were truly happy. Would recommend wholeheartedlyMore

I'm a hard-core South Indian by DNA and by upbringing. Ordered a South Indian Thali (meals) and found the good to be worst I've ever had. Worst is an understatement. Along with foods wasted were fish fry, fish cutlet, squid gravy, fish gravy. I went...to complain to the cashier about the food and her defense was the chef is from Karaokudi. Never in my life have I seen anyone insult Karaokudi cooks like this. Do not recommend rating - STRONGMore

Went for lunch at appollo banana leaf at Rivervale mall. Ordered their signature masala chicken(very generous with portioning) and chilli prawn. Even though curry served, I can’t stop eating rice with the masala which came with chicken. Chilli prawn is top notch. Well cooked and...tender. Not the chewy kinda prawn. Restaurant Incharge Mr. Prem keep checking on our beverage and other topup’s. Overall good experience.More

Outstanding food and excellent service, particularly from Karthik. He saw the confused looks on a bunch of tourists faces, and offered to take the lead on our ordering. He did not disappoint.

past traditional barbershops while local residents in
