About Islamic Restaurant (Biryani)
Tucked into the colourful streets of Kampong Glam near Arab Street and Sultan Mosque, Islamic Restaurant (Biryani) is a no-frills, family-friendly spot serving fragrant Hyderabadi-style biryani and robust curries. The atmosphere is warm and bustling — expect a steady flow of neighbourhood families, tourists exploring the Malay-Muslim quarter, and office workers grabbing takeaway for lunch.
Dining here feels very Singaporean: it's halal, practical, and made for sharing — think generous metal platters, paper napkins, and strong-flavoured gravies that pair perfectly with basmati rice. The interior is simple and air-conditioned with long tables for groups; there’s also takeaway and delivery for those wanting a kampong-style feast at home. Locals drop by for weekday lunches, weekend family dinners, and group celebrations after mosque visits, while visitors often come to taste classic mutton dum biryani and sample local Muslim-Indian favourites.
Although not a hawker stall, the restaurant fits into Singapore’s larger food scene alongside kopitiam breakfasts and hawker-centre lunches — affordable, crowd-pleasing, and unmistakably local. It’s a solid pick for casual date nights if you’re after comfort food, for groups looking to share big plates, or for anyone seeking halal biryani near Bugis and the CBD fringe.
