Lady Boss
17 Feb 2013Guys the lady boss at this place needs a course in customer service(Relationship Management)...she came across as cold and rude.
We ordered a mutton biryani, seekh kebab and naan..Was Disappointed!
This restaurant is a north indian muslim restaurant. Apparently it does not do justice to the north indian muslim food we are used to in Delhi and Lucknow back in India.
Moreover, these restaurant guide publications, visit singapore guide etc all seem to be a sham to me! Either they get bribed to give good reviews or they do not understand a cuisine well.

Had Chicken and Mutton Biryani
05 Aug 2012Mutton was better for me
Chicken was dry and seasoning/rempah did not permeate into the meat.
The rice was healthy - i.e. dry. One of the longest basmati grains i have ever seen.
Something was missing in the meal that did not make this satisfying

Get the Prawn Biryani
24 Feb 2012For pictures, please go to http://thehungrybunnie.blogspot.com/2012/01/islamic-restaurant-north-bridge-road.html
Please note that it's best to dine during the off-peak hours because the place is so tiny. All the tables are crammed pretty tightly so you inadvertently end up hearing the next table's conversation. While the restaurant is air-conditioned, a (slight) downside of the cool surroundings is that your hair does end up smelling of Indian spices by the time you leave the restaurant
We ordered:
1) Aloo Gobi ($5) - delicious, well-spiced but for the coriander
2) Mutton Mysore ($7) fresh but a tad tough when it should have been fork-tender
3) Chicken Biryani ($7.50) - flavoursome and fluffy. The humongous hunk of a chicken was, despite being breast meat, super moist
4) Prawn Biryani ($10) - my favourite, the rice was the most concentrated in flavour compared to the other 2 biryanis, and the deshelled prawns were fresh and sweet
5) Fish Biryani ($7.50) - fairly similar to the chicken version, with a huge chunk of fresh batang(?) fillet
