About Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant (Murtabak)
Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant (Murtabak) reads like a chapter out of the city’s hawker story — a bustling, no-frills eatery specialising in stuffed murtabak, roti prata and biryani that draws everyone from office workers to late-night supper seekers. Located in the vibrant Bugis / Arab Street area close to Sultan Mosque and Bugis MRT, the atmosphere is lively: communal tables, the scent of spices in the air and a steady stream of takeaway orders for tourists and locals alike.
The typical crowd is eclectic — weekday CBD lunchers grabbing a quick prata or briyani, families ordering large plates to share, and a steady after-sunset crowd looking for affordable late-night makan. This is quintessential Singapore hawker culture: quick service, strong flavours and generous portions, with halal-certified dishes that reflect the city’s multicultural food scene. Locals come here for casual weekday meals, weekend feasts with family and the reliable supper run after a night out in the nearby clubs and bars.
Expect straightforward, efficient service (counter ordering, self-collected trays) and hearty, spicy plates meant for sharing. The menu mixes classic Indian-Muslim hawker staples with local touches — from teh tarik and mutton murtabak to nasi biryani and prata with curry — making it a convenient stop for a budget-friendly meal anytime during the day or into the night.
