Whether you’re looking to dine-in or order delivery to celebrate at home with family and friends, here’s our go-to list for some of the best Indian food in Singapore.

Indian cuisine is one that probably has more options for vegetarians and vegans than any other cuisine. So, there will be something for everyone!

The first thing you absolutely need to do is order their “Chai Masala Milk Punch” as you browse through their menu that is going to surprise you.

As the name suggests, “Firangi” which means “foreign or foreigner”, the menu is definitely a foreigner’s take on modern Indian cuisine.
