Sitting above the street chaos that surrounds Mustafa, Singapore’s latest rooftop restaurant can be visited in flip-flops, shorts are not frowned upon, the bill doesn’t dig deep into your wallet and children are kept happily amused by jumping fountains. Kebabs & Curries achieves a perfect balance of tacky and charming, with the dining space divided between an indoor space under a glass and steel dome filled with fake flowers and bright neon lights, and an open-air wooden deck offering views of the busy Little India streets from above. The menu is filled with northern and southern Indian staples. Two kitchens keep separate the prep and cooking of vegetarian and meat dishes: garlic- and butter-slathered naan and skewers of tandoor spiced chicken roast in the kitchen’s clay oven, while the creamy dahl makhani simmers and crisp dosa is rolled in a meat-free setting. Kebabs & Curries is booze-free; all the better to toss back the perfectly tart, chilled mango lassi ($3) sprinkled with dried coconut – we’ve anointed it the best lassi in town.
Main courses $5-$8.
