7. Rangooli Restaurant
Rangooli Restaurant is a traditional North Indian joint nestled in the heart of the West Coast since the 1990s. On top of a serene and quiet ambience, the restaurant serves up authentic North Indian cuisine brought to you by their chefs who hail from Northern India.

Their chefs usually cook it in a cylindrical clay oven called a tandoor. They marinate the chicken in a mixture of yoghurt and spices, then cook it at high heat. This results in a tender, flavourful dish with a slightly charred exterior.
If you prefer mutton to chicken, their Mutton Rogan Josh (S$16 for Small & S$23 for Large) is a flavourful, aromatic lamb curry of Kashmiri origin, known for its vibrant red colour and tender meat. The name, derived from Persian, translates to “red oil” (Rogan) and “intense heat” (Josh).

8. Chin Lee Restaurant
For a taste of genuine old-school Teochew food in the heartlands, Chin Lee Restaurant does it right. It is pretty expensive for a neighbourhood dining joint. But it would make a great place for birthdays and special occasions, especially amongst the older generation.
If you are there, you have to try the Teochew Braised Vegetable (S$21). It’s a stew of mixed vegetables, often including ingredients such as mushrooms, black fungus, beancurd and preserved mustard greens (Kiam Chye), braised in a flavourful broth. This dish has a rich, savoury and slightly sweet flavour, which they achieve through the braising process.
If you don’t like traditional food and prefer a fusion dish, go with their Coffee Pork Ribs (S$19), a beloved dish in Singaporean Chinese cuisine known for its rich combination of sweet, savoury and slightly bitter flavours. The dish features tender pork ribs coated in a caramelised coffee sauce. This creates an irresistible balance of textures and fragrances.
