The kitchen team knows what they're doing. Their culinary offerings impress consistently. Team members treat regulars like old friends. This spot feels just right. This restaurant delivers the right experience.

If you’re looking for Asian street food like Singaporean, Filipino, Indian, Malay, Vietnamese, Thai, etc, this is the best place to be! Kopifellas is a must to try, we ordered Lycee Ceylon Tea and it’s so good!

Ordered from the Indian food place here. I like spicy and richly flavored foods like that on the Indian menu or the medium flavored foods like on Thai or some spicy options chineese food has. I am a vegetarian, so usually pick Indian food and atleast hits 80% of my score anywhere and makes me feel satisfied.
This place is too pricey for a food court, and being served in plastic boxes and plastic cutlery(at-least that’s what they told us that they ran out of it, the proper restaurant style plates some people were served with).
Ordered Chana Saag and rice, it had the usual taste by flavor. But it was 3-5 times salty, and they put 1 very small portion of white rice at the very bottom and loaded or flooded on top of it with 2-3 portions of rich Chana masala and 1 portion of Chana saag with no Chana in it.
It was like I was looking to find where is rice in it.
The 3-5 times of being salty spoiled the whole palate to eat it, and the bad way of serving it, serving/loading the curries/items that weren’t ordered without asking, and serving as 4-5 times of rich curries with 1 portion of rice made it much more worse, to eat it. And this was charged at $16.99-$17.99 with restaurant style prices.
The way to serve Indian food (rice with rich my flavored curries) is at max should be 50-50 or 1-1 the rice to curry ratio.

The samosa was priced at $4.99 and it was ok, shud be $3 at max. It wasn’t a crispy one too though was bit big and got mushed or flattened out pretty quickly as I was tying to eat it.

This is the first time maybe I got so angry eating Indian food outside and have to write a review so that they can improve and maintain better standards and still be in good business.

Two other people (Caucasians - vegan and pescatarian) from my group too ordered similar and they too felt the same about the curry-rice portion ratios and the saltines. All 3 of us had a very bad experience.

2 stars off because bathroom stalls are always locked

Plenty of stalls you could choose from and plenty of seating. We stopped by here for brunch and they opened their doors at 11am. Some food stalls weren't readily open then.

Fantastic hawker fare from home! The best thing is all the foods are closely similar to home! Best meal after days of cheese and pizza!

Service can be better though, especially at Kopifellas!

No wonder this place is dying. So called Hawker market where things close before 8pm at the weekend. Food runs out by early evening. Food quality is mid and overpriced. Not worth it, and certainly like no hawker market I've ever been to in Malaysia or Singapore.

You can enjoy quality cooking without premium pricing. The restaurant performs well every time. Their cooking shows expertise and their serving shows consideration. The team members display real warmth. This spot provides satisfaction.

Singapore hawker style so no service but large selection of food choices. Pick/order your food, find a table, eat, clean up & leave.

Good variety, ok food, long lines, expensive prices, no cell service. At around $20 including tax and cc fee for most stalls, the price is in high contrast to the $10-14 items offered by food cart/trucks nearby around 6th avenue. After initial packed opening weeks by influencers, pace has slowed down, the stall that couldn't survive turned, new ones came in. Good idea, bad execution due to location. Lunch time popular spots can take over 30 min to take and receive your order. About only spot I still visit occassionally is a sweet snack from Lady Wong's.
