Gandhi Restaurant

Little India & Kampong Glam


It might be a canteen-style joint with erratic service and cheap decor, but who cares when the food is this good? Wash your hands by the sink at the back, and take a seat. A banana-leaf plate heaped with rice and condiments (set-meal thali) will appear, order extra items from the servers – chicken curry is a must – then tuck in.
