Firangi Superstar

Wong Ah Yoke, food critic, enjoyed: This Is Not Aloo Gobi, Paneer Or Not, Indian Saddle, Smoked Tadka Potato Puree , Firangi Naan Basket, Tikka Takeaway . Source & photo: Sunday Times

The Indian-inspired cocktails here could give Thevar a run for their money. Clever use of spices & aromatics. This one is a sangria ($22)

Chutney & raita dips to start ur meal. $10 for choice of 2 dips , $14 for 3. Additional basket of papads & crackers (we enjoyed them very much) $5

Outstanding modern twist on Indian food , in a hip environment with friendly staff . Extensive vegetarian options

This Is Not Aloo Gobi ($16) is cauliflower couscous mixed with roasted potatoes , served on top of masala compote. Interesting textures all around

Bombay Elote ($14). Enjoyed the fragrant grilled baby corns , mixed with the smoky corn puree(?)

Indian saddle. This 450g portion costed $85. Loved the glaze & fattiness of the roasted lamb cuts

Warm cosy interior. Could be romantic if it weren’t for the closely-spaced tables, & the loud rock music

Layout of the resto. Very dim lighting during dinner time made it hard to see where u r going, especially when looking for the toilets

Eggplant that Ate Karnataka ($38). While texture & vadai topping were interesting, this is not an affordable vege option

Sothi fresh ($22) is snapper ceviche balanced with the creaminess of coconut milk

Coconut podi idli ($12). Sweet & aromatic. Very enjoyable to round off the meal

Salvador Thali ($41) is actually roasted pumpkin . Pretty & reasonably tasty, but at a hefty price tag

Chocolate jamun ($15). Not the excessively sweet version we r used to. It’s actually quite restrained

Tikka Takeaway is octopus grilled tandoori style. $29 for this serving

Garlic naan were well made. Nicely burn, very fluffy yet tasty

Rasam . Served as a palate cleanser after our meal. However, our table was confused when it tasted of savoury prawn broth, instead of the cleansing acidity of tamarind or tomatoes ????????

Water is free-flow here for a small donation of $1 per diner

Cali Puri . $14 for 4 pieces. Gone in one bite

Omg so impressed with the food here ???? #Vday
