Al-azhar - Singapore

A great place to have supper. For the price, expect $30 for 2 person. I would recommend butter chicken, although the portion is small..

Aloo Gobi (SGD $6.50) Al-Azhar Restaurant. . They've achieved some measure of success against their competitors in recent years, largely thanks to the improved quality of food with consistent taste. . Their version of Aloo Gobi has a rich thick curry gravy, with mild vegetal earthy sweet spice flavour, filled with chunky tender cauliflower, potatoes, and red onions, garnished with fresh coriander. . Great with bread or rice. . . . Bhindi Masala (SGD $6.80) Al-Azhar Restaurant. . Generous with long slim lady's fingers, tender juicy crunchy texture with vegetal sweet savoury spice flavour. . The thick tomato-based curry gravy is mildly spiced, easy to pick up with bread. Warm and comforting, like a hug. . Portion size is slightly larger than elsewhere, making this good value. . . . Biryani (SGD $9.50) Al-Azhar Restaurant. . They serve a good North Indian dum style rendition, where the primary flavour comes from the spice-infused basmati rice. . Slow cooked in a sealed pot for hours, the complex layering of spices, including cardamom and turmeric, infuse the rice, resulting in fragrant sweet grainy spice savoury flavour. . The fish version has boneless chunks of basa fish buried within, flaky and tender with a sharp spicy salty sweet kick from the curry gravy. . The mutton version has bone-in chunks of mutton buried within, chewy and tender with robust meaty savoury salty spice flavour from the curry gravy. . Both served with a bouncy hard boiled egg with eggy sweet notes, and a creamy raita yoghurt with crunchy cucumber and carrots with milky vegetal sweet flavour. Large enough for 2 persons. . . . Butter Chicken (SGD $9.50) Al-Azhar Restaurant. . Marinated, roasted, then stewed to finish in the curry, the large pieces of boneless chicken chunks are so tender, with a satisfying light chew and smoky sweet savoury salty spice flavour. . The curry gravy is creamy and smooth, the blend of tomato puree, yoghurt, butter, and spices (including fenugreek seeds and powdered coriander) lending bold vegetal sweet savoury milky spice notes. . Tasty enough to make you reach for more. . . . Chapati (SGD $1.50) Al-Azhar Restaurant. . Pretty straightforward rendition, slightly fluffy with a chewy texture that tears nicely with some effort. . Has a grainy bready savoury sweet flavour, slight hint of wheat on the aroma. Nicely warm.

Ordered: Roti john with chicken and cheese $8.50, butter chicken masala $11.90. Both are so delicious, i love how the bun is so soft and fluffy. The service is pretty fast. Just need to scan QR to order and pay online and you'll get your food soon. Remember to clear your own plates after finishing. Price is on a little high side, will likely be back for the same food again!

Wowww... I've been here 15 years ago always in love with the Thai Fried Kway Teow after so long, I've returned my fav noodle still taste the same! Highly recommended even my hubby love the taste ya the Penang Char Kway Teow taste just as good. Only the cold Milo Cino, the taste need to be improved. The service is a thumbs up too despite non-stop crowd, the staffs really won't allow their customers que for long. We were expecting the order won't be served so fast but guess what... It was super fast with that kinda crowd!
