Ammakase

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The service was genuinely thoughtful and attentive, the food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was warm, elegant, and inviting. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour — you could tell great care went into both the cooking and the details. What truly set this place apart were the personal touches: a personalised menu with our names and the dishes we ordered, as well as a printed group photo given to each of us to take home. These thoughtful gestures turned a wonderful meal into a truly memorable experience. Impeccable service, beautiful food, and heartfelt hospitality. Highly recommended.

I celebrated my birthday at Ammakase with their 10-course Omakase-style Indian meal, and it was a wonderful experience. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted, using real, natural ingredients with flavours that balanced, contrasted and complemented each other beautifully. The chef and sous chef explain the story behind each course — from the Indian state that inspired it to the ingredients used — which adds so much meaning to the meal. There’s no fixed menu, true to the Omakase concept, but every dish was executed with creativity and finesse. We enjoyed everything and left feeling satisfied yet light, thanks to how clean and healthy the dishes were. A few courses even had fun surprise elements that made us go “wow” with the first bite. We opted for the whisky pairing, and the sommelier matched three Japanese whiskies perfectly with the progression of dishes. The evening ended with a lovely personal touch: customised cards with our family photo and a personalised menu — such a sweet gesture. Overall, an excellent dining experience. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend Ammakase to anyone looking for a unique, healthy and artfully presented Indian Omakase meal.

A truly magnificent birthday celebration at Ammakase Singapore! The 'Amma meets Omakase' concept is a masterclass in neo-Indian cuisine, combining tradition with astonishing innovation. ​Our experience was profoundly elevated by Jenzen Chow. His passion is contagious, and he provided intricate explanations of every course, detailing both the culinary technique and the heritage. ​Even more impressive was his extensive knowledge on the sake pairing. Jenzen expertly guided us through the selection, explaining the subtle notes and why each sake harmonized perfectly with the complex Indian spices—it was a spectacular accompaniment! ​The Perfect Touch: Walking away with a personalized photo and notes made it the ideal, thoughtful souvenir. ​Verdict: Go for the food, stay for the sake/wine pairing and Jenzen's depth of knowledge!

My wife and I had an amazing time at Ammakase for my birthday. The food was well balanced and executed, incorporating playful creativity to amazingly executed Indian flavors. Service was professional, warm and welcoming, and ambiance was nice and intimate. Definitely value for money as well, would wholeheartedly recommend Ammakase to anyone looking for an amazing Indian fine dining experience

In the heart of Singapore’s bustling CBD, where the rush of city life rarely comes to a slow, Ammakase offers a sanctuary of calm and refinement, a sharp contrast to the frantic rush of Raffles Place . It is a place where the mind can unwind and where the senses are invited on a culinary journey of pure indulgence. Ammakase is an Indian spin on the Japanese omakase concept, reimagined with the bold spices & soulful flavours of Indian cuisine. The ambience was serene with a touch of elegance, and we were warmly welcomed by Ms. Purni, whose professional grace and radiant smile set the tone for the evening. With her detailed explanations of each dish, she guided us through a 10-course experiential odyssey curated with care & artistry. The adventure began with a refreshing welcome drink and a reinvented mango lassi kueh pie tee & watermelon on the rocks. This twist on a classic Peranakan favourite delivered an indescribable burst of flavours, yes, sweet, tangy & refreshing that literally popped in the mouth and set the tone for the gastronomic experience ahead. From this point, the menu unfolded like a story. The masala duck confit stuffed in dosa, reinvented as a taco was a brilliant fusion of textures. The lamb paired with arancini biryani was tender & comforting while the halibut molee impressed me with its succulence, free from even the faintest trace of fishy smell that usually puts me off. The plump scallop with turmeric butter melted on the tongue, leaving behind a richness that lingered. Between courses, a chilled shot of spiced mango refreshed the palate, reawakening the senses with a tropical sweetness. To conclude the evening, Ms Purni added a personal touch that elevated the experience beyond dining with a photo & the curated menu that served as a keepsake to remember this degustation journey. In every way, Ammakase excels at combining artistry, introduces flavours that excite our palate & service that was commendable from start to end. The 2.5 hour dining time is a reminder that patience is part of the experience as each dish arrives in its own time, rewarding you for waiting🤭 More than a fine dining spot, this place is an avant garde retreat I would reserve only for those who truly matter to me, never just for anyone.

Ammakase offers a refreshing take on modern Indian cuisine with its daily no-menu concept, where the chef crafts dishes based on the freshest available ingredients. Drawing inspiration from India’s coastal regions and towns, seafood naturally shines here. The name itself is touching—“Amma” meaning mother, with the logo depicting a mother holding her child, setting the tone for the nurturing, home-style care evident throughout the experience. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cosy and contemporary. From the moment you’re seated, the experience feels considered—welcomed with a chilled hand towel and a delicate lavender coconut shot that cleanses the palate beautifully. Though I opted for a light two-course lunch, it was more than enough to appreciate the kitchen’s finesse. The first course, a thosai puff, surprised me with its appearance versus reality. What looked substantial was actually light and packed with complex, well-balanced flavors. Three bites in and I was already wanting more. The main course showcased yogurt-marinated salmon, tandoor charred to perfection with a crispy, fragrant exterior giving way to tender, juicy flesh. Paired with a silky purée and Brussels sprouts (which won over even this skeptic with their subtle, well-executed flavor), the dish was harmonious. But the revelation was the biryani rice—each grain distinctly spiced, elevated with crispy fried shallots, and so flavorful it could stand alone. It reminded me of the best wok hei fried rice, with that same addictive quality. Easily one of the most memorable rice I’ve encountered. A particularly thoughtful touch: our host took an instant photo of each guest and presented it in a sleeve listing our personalized menu. It’s these small gestures that echo the restaurant’s namesake philosophy—cooking and caring like a mother would. Highly recommended for anyone seeking expertly prepared Indian cuisine with a modern, personal touch.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Non pretentious omakase fine dine.

This afternoon lunch at Ammakase was a moment to be cherished. We took an executive lunch menu prepared by Chef Robin. His creation and touch to our meal was perfect. Every dish that was served was explained in detail and precise by Purni. Would definately come again for the chef personalised meal

If I rate only based on food & service, it’s easily 5 stars. We loved the food — taste and presentation were great. Their seafood items were fresh and soft; the scallop and lobster were really nice. I especially loved the duck taco, and my bf loved the crab with steamed egg dish. The jackfruit ice cream was nice too. Overall, all the dishes were unique and tasty. Service was also great — staff were friendly and pleasant. Really loved the photo they gave us at the end, it was awesome. The only thing I didn’t like much was the ambience. The location isn’t that great, and the place is way smaller than it looks in photos — a bit cramped and so bit noisy. I could even hear noise from the kitchen. Not sure who designed the tables and chairs — they were super uncomfortable 😅 You can’t push the chair close to the table, so have to hunch to eat, and because of the cylindrical base, can’t keep legs comfortably. But these are just minor things — hope they can improve in the future. Overall, we had a great night & totally recommend it!
