Located in the middle of chinatown, easy to spot and always packed in the afternoon to night. I think we can call this as an authentic indian food since the meal is tangy. Absolutely don't miss their iced teh tarik.

Prata standard has always been good. It’s crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside - the way I like it. Though I think it can be crispier. It’s more expensive than other Prata shops, but could be the location. Their curry dips are good too. However their kopi is terrible - look like drain water and taste quite bad. The teh Halia is good though. Service is rather lacklustre in the morning and they can’t seem to rmb the orders very well once more customers come. Atmosphere is so-so only.

Nice atmosphere. The food is good. Generous portions of mutton. The teh tarik is good. Can come again.

I went for teh tarik but I stayed for the food. The teh tarik was lovely and smooth. I ordered a chicken dish and butter paratha. Halfway through the meal I realized I needed another paratha so I tried the plain one. Both parathas were lovely and the chicken dish was flavorful. My friend ordered the mutton dum biryani and that was the highlight. I am not a fan of mutton biryani but this one was really good. The mutton was soft and juicy. 10/10 meal. Service was great. The only issue i had was that when the plates were brought to us, one of it was dirty. The server immediately changed it but when eating there, just check to see if the plates and utensils brought to you are clean.

This review is for masala dosa! Which was GREAT. Flavourful filling, crispy dosa, wrapped evenly. In an area with less available Indian food (or towards the quays, only with much higher end Indian restaurants), this one has standard, def leaning on the spicey side which I liked but fair warning. $6.20 so expect prices a little higher (I think Nasi goreng was like $8.50). Nice location to people watch.

TANDOOR BITES At Chinatown Teh Tarik, the food is tasty and comforting with quick, no-fuss service. The maggie goreng stands out as a must-try, while the cheese egg prata could use a bit more cheese. The rice with fish set was filling and flavorful. A spot I’ll happily revisit.

Okay, so I recently checked out this restaurant in Singapore called Teh Tarik, and honestly, it was a bit of a perplexing experience. Giving it a 3 out of 5 feels about right. On the plus side, the food definitely tasted like proper, authentic Indian fare, which I appreciated. However, there were a few significant downsides. For starters, I have to say the cleanliness seemed a little suspect, which made me slightly uneasy throughout the meal. Then there were the tables and chairs – they looked like they'd seen better decades, definitely adding to a somewhat run-down feel. The service was also noticeably slow; I found myself waiting longer than I'd have liked for pretty much everything. What really struck me, though, was the price point. Considering the overall atmosphere and service, it felt quite overpriced, almost like it's banking on its location rather than the overall dining experience. And the location itself is actually a bit of a double-edged sword. It's fantastic if you enjoy watching the world go by – you can really sit and observe all sorts of people. This contributed to the feeling that it might be a bit of a tourist trap, capitalizing on foot traffic. Despite these criticisms – the questionable cleanliness, the tired furniture, the sluggish service, and the feeling of being overcharged – there was something about the food that lingered. Perhaps it was genuinely that good, or maybe the people-watching was just so entertaining. Either way, surprisingly, I find myself considering giving Teh Tarik another try in the future. There's something about it that hasn't completely turned me off. This place deserves 3 stars and definitely can improve.

I ordered the Basil pork with rice set @$5.50. I must say that it was tasty and better than many other places. Need to try out their other dishes the next time I visit this place.
