Not many people around considering it was a public holiday. But Indian was our choice for the day, too choices in Singapore for all types of cuisine. A bit of a quirky layout but very comfortable. We opted for all the Indian favourites, 3-4 curries...(all good) a variety of naan and of course some beers to wash it down with. Tiger on tap. Of course we ordered too much. Pretty good, price was OK. I'm sure there are cheaper (and better) places in Singapore. Robertson Quay is a bit of trap. But we were happy with our experienceMore

Second time visiting this place and it was again very nice, though not cheap. Quality of food is very good, the manager was very helpful in finding us a table without a reservation quickly, and looked after us all evening. Buzzy place clearly frequented by...locals too. Easy walk along the river to Clarke Quay MRT.More

Firstly, just such lovely, welcoming, friendly, and attentive service. Faultless service with smiles all round. The starters were brilliant, and the curries for mains were dilislcuous, with the standout being the better chicken. Also, the best garlic nann we've had in Singapore. Living 5 minutes...from Little India, I was pleasantly surprised to now rate this our favourite Indian restaurant in SG. If you live here or are visiting, you should give them a try.More

Lip-smacking food and great vibe at this place. The service is quick and the servers are friendly. The food gives one a feel of Delhi food (well, close to it). It's right on Robertson Quay, and a relaxing stroll after the meal is a given!More

Location and ambiance is very good. Quantity of servings for starters is small. Cleanliness is okay. We saw bartender putting ice with his bare hands while making drinks. Staff is okay not friendly.

Dabbawalla should revisit their menu and change their chef. Food was really tasteless and overpriced. Order lamb vindaloo, zaffarini broccoli and saffron rice. We could only taste the chili and lamb had no flavour. the broccoli was soggy and bland as well. the worst was...they charged $34 for lamb vindaloo and $22 for broccoli. We have eaten at hawker stalls which had more flavour and soul than this restaurant. Don't trust the high reviews like we did. it doesn't match up. Adviced to give this place a miss.More

Definitely the favorite place for Indian cuisine. A warm welcome from the staff as we arrived. We don’t need to wait to decide for the dish that we liked as we have been to this place a couple of times. We highly recommended their mixed...meat platter, perfect for your appetizer and their butter chicken along with saffron rice and garlic naan. If you’re just a couple, those foods mentioned are good enough for sharing and still have space for awesome desserts. Loved their wine selection as well. Their wine of the month is another must try. Actually if you're not sure just ask the brilliant staff. They know and will recommend the best stuff that suits your taste. Overall, it is always a great experience to dine here. So, if you’re wondering where is the good place for a casual date or family dinner, you must include this on your list.More

This place is a must for anyone who is a fan of Indian food. The Dabba Gosht is particularly excellent. It is not the cheapest Indian food in Singapore, but for those on a budget, there is plenty of street venders in Little India or...local Hawker centers. This is a proper restaurant in a classy location, which I could not recommend highly enough. The staff and management are also super friendly, always willing to try and fit you in, even when its busy.More
