Islamic (arab St) - Singapore

Islamic is pioneer in serving beriyani good, delicious beriyani with lots of masala. My family and I patronise the place since I was knee high. Must trys are the mutton mysore, mutton and chicken korma, fish cutlets. The dalca comes with each serving of beriyani. Catering or home delivery servings are just as good. Left over dalca and rice? No problem. Islamic foods lasts for weeks in the fridge or freezer. Easy to heat up and ready to eat again. Ambience is cosy and warm. In the evening its a nice place to snuggle up with loved ones on the comfortable seats while savouring Islamic beriyani. Btw, its a place fit for a King. If you hv problems and dont feel like a King when you patronise the place, then something is wrong with you. Not the place.

Outstanding experience. This a 100 year old restaurant has a very interesting history.Governors,Kings and the elite have been their patrons.One of the finest Biryani I have had in recent times.A must while you are Singapore.

I feel that it's more like to experience the history of this place rather than for the food. Chicken Biryani is slightly average and price wise is definitely on the high side. Will visit the shop again when I have overseas friends visiting but not for normal occasion as there's better biryani out there.

Islamic restaurant is a 96 years old food outlet now run by third generation of Abdul Rahiman family. They primarily serve North Indian cuisine with local Malay/Singaporean adaptation. I have been visiting this place for years and one thing this place is really famous for is their Biryani. We ordered Chicken Biryani, Fish curry, plain rice and Ice Lemon tea during our recent visit. As expected their Biryani was superb with juicy chicken, long grain rice, achar and curry to go along. Quantity was sufficient for one person. Fish curryi was OK. Due to renovation none of the tandoori items like Naan or North Indian dishes like Chicken curry or stew were available. They might take a few weeks to complete renovation. Ice lemon tea was not fresh and should be avoided. Service was fine Internal decor and ambience is retro style and looks beautiful. Simple dinner for two costed SGD 32.5 Overall worth visiting for Biryani and Instagram worthy pics of retro decor.

Over a half century of my age and this is the first time I sat in here. First experienced was to let people cut in my queue. When the door opened, was greeted by take out patrons. A staff came, greeted us and locate to our seats. First glanced at the menu was a set menu (highly recommended). The Mutton Briyani tasted okay, edible, not sort of extra ordinary but the texture of the mutton was tender (kudos). Ambience was great. Overall I give 4.2 . Would I return? Yes, if I happens to be around the vicinity and hungry.
