Tandoori Culture is one of my favorite too (for food).Lisafuller wrote: ↑Fri, 30 Jun 2023 1:29 amHubby's birthday is coming up soon, so I've been doing a little research for some nice restaurants to take him to. His taste is coming back, though he still has many ulcers from the treatment, but that's besides the point.
Anyhow, after some searching, I found that most of the reviews and recommendations come from the same couple of local food sights, and as we all know, the best recommendations are made by people who actually try the food.
So I'm wondering, what is everyone's favorite restaurant here? Could be your go-to cheap weekday night dinner spot, a special place you reserve only for celebrations (this especially, would be helpful), or your guilty indulgence.
Mine are:
Blu Kouzina (Greek/Turkish at Dempsey)
Cacio e Pepe (Italian at Hillview)
Tandoori Culture
Yardbird (Southern food at MBS)
What's good at Omar Sharif? I drove past almost daily, but it appears pretty uninviting from outside. So to be fair, the same can be said about tandoori culture, though it's much nicer inside.x9200 wrote: ↑Fri, 30 Jun 2023 7:16 amTandoori Culture is one of my favorite too (for food).Lisafuller wrote: ↑Fri, 30 Jun 2023 1:29 amHubby's birthday is coming up soon, so I've been doing a little research for some nice restaurants to take him to.

Shish Mahal, Nepalese/North Indian, Albert Court (close to SLS), for food and ambience
The Town, Fullerton Hotel, Sunday brunches, for food, ambience
Melt, Fusion, Mandarin Oriental, Sunday brunches (or buffets in general), for food, ambience
Omar Sharif, North Indian, corner of Bukit Timah and Sixth Ave, for food, ambience is so-so (needs renovation)
https://www.panamericana.sg/, as the name suggests, Sentosa, for ambience, food (this order) - been there only once but liked it.
Not sure if this was always the case, but tandoori culture does use the "traditional" dishware. I put it in quotes because I'm not exactly sure, but it certainly looks convincing.x9200 wrote: ↑Fri, 30 Jun 2023 6:11 pmFood is pretty comparable in my opinion between those two. Omar Sharif is this old style Indian restaurant that was more common 2 decades ago and then considered fancy - large upholstered chairs / sofas, big tables. The main dining room is upstairs. I go there once or twice a year for a change. Tandoori Culture is like slightly upgraded coffee shop.
If I remember correctly Omar Sharif also uses more the classic Indian copper-ware.
My all time Indian favorite is Shish Mahal. I like their food and the dining area outside that sits between the row of old shop hoses and also old style building complex of Albert Hotel.
