Lagnaa... Barefoot Dining | Indian Food

I really had the pleasure of dining at this Michelin-awarded Indian restaurant that truly exceeded all my expectations. Upon entering, I was warmly welcomed by the owner, who made it clear that he valued every customer's experience. Despite a slight delay in my order, he genuinely apologized and expressed concern, which only heightened my appreciation for the level of care and commitment he pours into his establishment. The friendly atmosphere felt inviting, making the wait seem insignificant compared to the culinary journey I was about to embark on. When my Mutton Masala finally arrived, I was immediately struck by the tantalizing aromas that filled the air. The dish was rich in flavor, perfectly balancing spices that danced beautifully on my palate. I had opted for a level 5 spice, and while I expected a bit more heat, it turned out to be a delightful experience more in line with my taste than the extreme spiciness I was used to from Indonesian cuisine. Every bite of the tender mutton was a testament to the chef’s expertise, with the spices enhancing the meat rather than overwhelming it. I could see why the restaurant has gained such a sterling reputation, as they have mastered the art of blending traditional Indian flavors with a friendly touch. While I couldn't partake in the restaurant's exciting spice challenge, I was captivated by the vibrant selection of dishes they offered, including various curries and masalas. The commitment to authenticity and quality was evident in every sip of the beverages and every dish that graced the table. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and we left feeling satisfied and eager to return, not only to try more dishes but also to engage in the friendly atmosphere that the owner cultivated so well. This place is definitely a gem in the culinary world, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to indulge in scrumptious Indian cuisine.

excellent service, incredible food and always a good time. to quote my wife after her first trip "this is the best Indian food I've had". can't wait to go back and one day attempt level 7!

Came here looking for butter chicken, and fell in love with the special naan… Can’t wait to taste the chocolate version, next time we come by.. But both the chicken and fish were melt in the mouth perfect. Chapeau!

Fantastic meal and incredible service. Meal was tailored to our tastes and it was such a special experience. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly! Highly highly recommended if you want to try real authentic Indian cuisine.

Wow the star chef treated us like Royalty, we did the preset Michelin 6 course meal. Chicken Tikka to Chocolate Naan bread everything was to die for. The bonus is the Excellent customer service nade us feel like Family!!! Mango Margaritas amazing

I had the best chick peas and the best raita in my life! My nine year old ordered Butter chicken - twice because it was so delicious! Best ever food, mango drinks, service and atmosphere🤩 Don’t miss this place in Little India, Singapore🙌🏻

Giving it 10 stars! Food was amazing! My favorite was the sheek kebab and chicken curry, but the yogurt rice and coconut ice cream were a lovely surprise as well. Super appreciate that the chef passionately interacts with every customer with a huge smile and laughter which gives this place topnotch service.

We had a great experience in this restaurant, the owner and staff were friendly, chatted with us on what we feel like having and recommend dishes for us. Enjoyed all the food and they have 1 on 1 promotion for beers

Everything about this place was wonderful. The chef, K7, was extremely fun, knowledgeable, charismatic, and wasn't afraid to help you pair the right foods (flavors) together. I was with coworkers from California and Costa Rica...and they all loved it. We were all on the same page about the great food and the overall experience. We shared the spicy curry shots along with crispy onions, veggie-balls, chutney platter, yogurt rice with mutton, butter chicken, cauliflower plate and a leafy naan. I cannot remember the names, but they were all phenomenal. Also the Rumala (I think that's what it was called) was a mix of rum and masala tea that was served hot in a small tea kettle....amazing. Thank you K7. I will be back next time I'm in Singapore!

Food and service are excellent. Came here 6 years ago on my only other trip to Singapore and had to come back - it was as good as I remember!

Terribly rude service. Condescending waiter. Does not like to explain the dishes. Likes to chastise and make fun of customers.

Good food but overpriced. They appeared to be purposefully unclear about the pricing. And we spent much more than expected. In our opinion, somewhat deceptive. But the place was empty and I think they are hurting for business.

3.5 rating. Food was tasty hands down. The menu and recipe was spot on. And the spice challenge and the clips add a nice touch to the restaurant. We were served with utmost care and politeness, and loved the attention and recommendations from the staff. I would have liked the portion size to have been a little more for the price. And felt some parts of the restaurant definitely needed some renovation. Very empty at around noon because of COViD i believe. Overall nice to try out this place for the first time.

I can not believe I have to write a review like this in 2020. The owner was disgustingly rude and condescending. He refused to explain the dishes to some of the folks in our group that had never experienced Indian food before. Having traveled all over the world and been raised in Hong Kong, China. I have never encountered a chef not being able to describe the sauce his dish was prepared in. To make matters worse, we saw this (attached) sign on the way out of the restaurant. Tasteless. Those who had a variety of dishes explained that it was all bland and lacked a great deal of flavor. In our short five minute encounter with the owner he said the following: - he called my friend an "eager beaver" because he inquired about the sauce the lamb was prepared in. - he said describing the sauce of a food is comparable to "describing the color red to the blind" (not knowing that a close family member of mine is blind so that comment was not only insensitive but hurtful) - he said that we should be simple and order tandoori because he didn't want to take the time to explain the Marsala sauce - he caused my mother to cry afterwards because he embarrassed her as she asked for her butter chicken to be spicy (instead of explaining that his restaurant does not make their butter chicken spicy, he took the opportunity to say that she should know better to ask a question like that and there is no such thing as spicy food lol) I could go on for days about the owner of this establishment but instead I am grateful for platforms like this that allow me to share our dreadful experience with people all over the world. I intend to also post to google, Facebook, share throughout my sorority and inform my grad school friends and cohort at Harvard. In 2020, I refuse to support establishments that are perceived as racist, prejudicial, exclusionary and condescending. There are too many great (and tasty) restaurants worldwide to support hole in the wall establishments like this.

Coming to Little India in a place with this great reviews and a Bib Gourmand I was honestly expecting a bit more. We ordered a "large" butter chicken (which was recommended by the chef), a basmati rice, and two naans. Took about 30 min to get the food, which is not a problem at all. The large portion was a bowl, with a lot of sauce and not so much chicken. The meat was incredibly tender, you could see they knew how to cook - but honestly small and a bit underwhelming to cost 24 dollars. We spent 68 dollars on our meal, probably could have been half the price in a different location in the neighborhood, for the same (or perhaps) better flavor.

Although the place has several classic tourist-trap elements (the witty menu, the wall for tourists to sign, the spice challenges), I must say the food is very good. As a fresh expat in Singapore, I felt truly welcomed in this place's friendly environment. I had a very good threadfin fish curry, just spicy enough. I'm by no means an expert on Indian food, but I'm sure what I had was much closer to proper Indian food than what I've had in other countries. At worst, Lagnaa Barefoot Dining is a very good introduction to the marvels of Indian food. You should consider that nothing is complimentary, not even the pappadams. The good thing is the staff lets you know the price of anything before you order, so, no surprises.

Despite how delicious the food was and how fun the atmosphere is - i was nickeled and dimed on a level ive never experienced.... A suggestion for me to "try" what sounded like a complimentary piece of pickeled cucumber (the size of a toothpick) was $9.00 SGD open table charge....pretty outrageous especially after i was talking to the owner about gardening and cooking and he said try it just try it... and then charged me $9.00. $9.00 for a piece of vegetable that took up 10% of a soy sauce bowl. No warning as to the charge beforehand. Not cool. Shame on you. Oh and a water bottle - bc tap wasnt an option is $4.00 SGD. You also cannot take any leftovers home if you dine in. Something about the salivia mixing into your dish - if anything happens to you, they would be in trouble. Despite the fact that i put my chicken on a plate and didnt eat directly out of the bowl......

What an interesting place. Definitely geared up for tourists, the staff are savvy, very friendly and welcoming but definitely know that they are there to generate business. That said, we got chatting and they let me diabetic friend try a vegetable they said would help naturally, and we got a little free dessert each (a little like mochi) as it was an Indian holiday. On to the food then, once you've chosen from the hilarious menu - I plumped for prawn masala - you get to choose the 'heat'. I wasn't sure so played it safe with a '2' (10 is the hottest) and by god a 2 was hot enough for me!! Be warned! It was tasty though, and not so hot the flavour was lost. We shared a couple of naan and some rice between us and overall it was pretty good food, not the biggest portions mind you but that was fine given the heat of the food and the temperature outside. Not the cheapest place, but the service helps soften the blow of the bill. We did feel a little bit crammed in though, as it's not the biggest so bear that in mind if there are more than four of you eating.

This is a review of a dinner with a friend at Lagnaa Barefoot Dining. This restaurant was one of my first restaurants on my Singapore dining wish-list. Before I had even moved to Singapore, I had be told about it. We chose to sit downstairs. So, we did not actually have the barefoot dining experience. What you do get seating downstairs is the feeling that you are being cooked for in someone's home. The staff is so friendly. Plus, from my seat, I could see K7 (the chef - and no before this dining experience - i did not know him) cooking in the kitchen. I witnessed an outpouring of love for creating amazing food. He was also quite the gracious host. The hostess was also extremely friendly and treated us as if we were long lost friends. I could laboriously work through detailing all of the food. But, for this one, I am mainly going to sum it up. It ranged from very good to excellent. We did not really challenge the heat scale. My dining companion for the evening does not really enjoy extremely spicy foods. So, with her in mind, we kept two dishes at level 1 and, for me to sample, we had one dish at level 3. I found the dishes all to be wonderfully prepared. I did not find the level 3 to be very intimidating. On my next visit, I will work in a level 4 dish and see how I manage with that. Wheel of delicious food: http://tinyurl.com/bm5bbd4 My plate: http://tinyurl.com/c88wmbg I will say that I did truly enjoy the vegetable pakoras; mmm, yummy crispy goodness. http://tinyurl.com/c9cmzs8 The garlic naan was also a home-run. It was so fresh. It did not have even a touch of that rubberiness than can sneak in and ruin a naan. The garlic flavor was just right. It was distinct without being overpowering. http://tinyurl.com/bvfwhbo Overall, the food was very-very good. But, for me, what made the dining experience truly five star was the warmth of the staff. I will certainly return.

I came here to eat with my cousin after reading travel advisor. This place is located in Little India. Kind of like a whole in the wall. Regular price point for a whole in the wall place would be around $10.00 or at most $15.00. I ordered the lunch for 2 which included a few pieces of fish, 2 pieces of tandoori chicken, 5 pieces of fried chicken 2 shrimps, little tub full of white rice and spiced rice. I also ordered 2 mango drinks. My bill came out to $120. Mind you the portions were very small as you can see from all the other yelpers pictures. Taste: It was okay, nothing too spicy like I am use to having in the U.S where the Indian mild is just off the charts. If you are sensitive to hot foods this place is not so hot that it will leave you sweating like a pig. Service: In Singapore they speak very good english so he was very accommodating and nice. Overall, I had no problem with the food except for the price point. It is way to expensive for little pieces of chicken and fish. I can get a lot more for $120.

We loved the food. Taste great and great quality. There is our go to place for indian food.

Are you kidding me! This place is GREAT! I was shocked that Lagnaa didn't have 5 stars, then I read the negative and understood it was centered around price and perceived service. I'm here to tell you that its worth every cent and the service is spectacular and personalized. If you have a bad attitude or need your ass kissed, then go somewhere else, If you like friendly people who know how to make Indian food????? COME HERE. If you want very thoughtfully prepared Indian Cuisine that ranges from traditional to neuvo, then come to barefoot. I'm personally a fan of the open air simple feel, so downstairs is cool, but they also have lovely accommodations upstairs for fine evening dining. MAKE RESERVATIONS! The owner/chef is famous in Singapore for his creations which range in HEAT from mild to "you cant handle it" LOVE THIS PLACE and I'll be back.

What. A. Treat. After a hot day walking around Singapore, a cold beer and tasty butter chicken made me so happy! I went wimpy of the spice level but it suited me fine. Service was delightful. Open air table made for great people watching.

My initial visit to Lagnaa was one I will cherish for a lifetime. I am not certain what I enjoyed more, the meaningful conversation with the chef of the authentic and flavorful food. I loved it so much, I returned again the next night. Oh and the frozen mango margarita pairs well with every dish ;) .

Lagnaa tops little india for me in terms of concept. They are all about chilies and spices where you can choose the level of spice that you would like to consume over there. There are up to 10 levels of spice and the highest level anyone has ever achieved is 9. You have to progress your way up the spice ladder whereby you can start at level 6 and only once that is complete, can you go up to level 7 and so forth. These challenges can only take place on a full moon. You even have to put a little clip on the wall and write your name after you successfully complete a spice challenge. Can you think of a restaurant with a more unique concept? They have an incredible egg plant dish named kathiri pachadi that i would highly recommend.

Great Food, esp. the butter chickenbut actually just everything was really tasty with a perfect spicyness. The service is equally great really friendly and helpful. Even though we only spend 4 days in Sinpagore, we just had to go there twice because the food was just too good.

Lagnaa has a lovely ambience, friendly staff, and incredible Indian food. The walls out front of the restaurant have the scribbles of many a satisfied customer, and we weer all encouraged to leave out mar as well! The first floor has tables and chairs for those who aren't used to sitting on the floor, but as we had no problems with it, we took off our shoes and went upstairs for the barefoot dining experience. The upstairs is air-conditioned and clean, with several small tables and cushions on the ground. It's a rather intimate and authentic experience with ambient indian music playing in the background. We waited a very long time for the food - at least 30 minutes. Whilst waiting, they served up papadoms with a delicious mint chutney as appetizers. Our food finally arrived, and it was definitely worth the wait. The portions are somewhat small, so it's great for a small group of friends to order different items to share. It is also ideal for couples. The yoghurt rice was fragrant and had a wonderful texture to it. It really whetted my appetite and was perfect for eating curries with. The chicken biryani, likewise, was an instant favourite amongst us, brimming with amazing flavours from the numerous spices used. I found the prices a bit steep here, but for a treat every once in a while, it's definitely worth your money to come to Lagnaa.

This restaurant had it all: 1. Bad service, bad attitude, no attention paid to customers needs. We sat there waiting for the waiter to get our bill for 45 mins, he never bothered to come back once the food was sent 2. Over priced menu items for the amount of food you get! Never ever have I paid $ 15-20 for 2-3 pieces of meat in a small bowl of curry 3. Mediocre food: chicken curry was the only decent dish - the spice level was inconsistent throughout each dish we got. We got level 4, but the prawn masala was more like 7-8 and was inedible quite frankly 4. Water is a self serviced item- funny enough you have to fetch water from the "pantry" which is also marked as a washroom. This was really odd to all of us. 5. The hostess or the owner kept trying to sell us more pappadoms for $15 - with 3 chutneys. I have never paid this much money for any pappadoms! 6. This is completely a tourist trap I usually don't write bad reviews for any restos, but this one truly disappointed us.

This is one of our favorite places to come as a family. We make it a point to come back - at least once, but usually more - every single time we travel to Singapore. The food is delicious, the staff couldn't be friendlier, and my girls love the barefoot dining upstairs. If you are in Singapore, find a reason to visit this place. I can't wait until we travel back.

a gimmicky, very-expensive indian restaurant in little india - not the traditional indian foodery as you'd expect in this neighborhood. it seems catered toward tourists, tripadvisor (on which it has a fantastic rating) and unknowing diners a like - the gimmick of barefoot dining and variable heat levels (and of course that means there's a barely-human level up there) saying possibly everything you need to know. but I'm cynical. we started with some delicate chickpea fritters dotted with peas - I didn't think they would be, but these browned small things had loosely-bound chickpea meal and bits of peas strewn throughout. pretty delicious. for mains, we had a round of different curries and stew-like things of varying heat - and let me tell you that the third heat level pretty much packs a punch. I also can't name all of what we were eating as they were just rather spicy, spice-y things that tasted decent (but how could it not, with that many aromatics) but a spicy chickpea curry had tender legumes and the raita was cool and delicious. I don't remember anything fantastic about the chicken tikka - and I think it pretty pricey, so I would stick to the curries. get some naan to go with too, as they were delicious (and so was my roti). in any case, the food was decent. I have no qualms except that it was more expensive than expected (and warranted), and it may not be the sort of thing you expected in little india. decent otherwise, and maybe a good place for out-of-towners.

One of our favorite places to eat, and we go there as often as possible. The service is great and we never ending up ordering too much or too little as the staff makes sure we and they do it "right". The dishes may seem small but the food is so rich and flavorful you will not go away hungry. For the adventurous, try spicing up to a level 6+. And, if you do well, you'll be invited to the Full Moon chili challenge. No one has reached level 10 yet! A great experience - whether you eat "barefoot" upstairs or down. And, do bring a magic marker to leave your mark on the walls outside!

I always judge an ethnic restaurant by its diners, and at lagnaa all of the other diners looked like me; westerners!! In the heart of Little India it's a little disappointing to not see more indians dining alongside you, but at the same time this could have a lot to do with the price-point. While the food was great, I felt there wasn't a good value for the price. We chose to eat outside rather than upstairs, so perhaps I would've felt differently had we been in the ambiance of the "barefoot dining". The staff was incredible and definitely displayed the Indian hospitality that I've come to love. This type of service is hard to come by in Singapore, and almost justifies their high prices. While their menu wasn't anything new in terms of Indian cuisine, the drink menu had a few surprises. If you like chai tea, I would definitely recommend the masala margarita. It's much different than any margarita I've ever had, and in a delicious way! This would be a great place to bring out of towners as they will get to experience dining in the heart of little india, but without the chaos that accompanies some of the other venues in little India.

Lots of heat, not much on flavor and definitely overpriced. It's no accident this place was empty on a Saturday night compared to other restaurants in the area. Extremely small portions. Definitely not coming back. DEFINITELY.

good quality of food, nice service, great experience We've been to Lagnaa with a group of 8 people and had foot on the 2nd floor, where it was for mostly all of us the first time dining barefoot while sitting on the floor. Shanti - the host of the restaurant - was very nice and helped a lot during the reservation and ordering. She even took some pictures and mailed them to us afterwards. very nice! Food quality was very good, the highlight for me personally was the different types of Nan, which I never have had before. Rest of the food was also good, comparable to other good Indian restaurants I've already been. All of us really enjoyed this experience and we left the restaurant satisfied. Highly recommendable if you seek for a good Indian Restaurant in Little India.

Frankly I would give this 1 star if it wasn't for the pictures of samosas on here, which look good. We got the bucket of strong beers. Two of them had names which reminded me of household cleaning supplies (e.g. Vorion 6000) and the third was called Knock Out. Whatever one I tried was way too sweet and didn't taste good and I left most of it on the table. I also ordered a chocolate ice cream, which they forgot to serve us, then when I mentioned this and asked for it in a take away container as we were leaving, they instead refunded me the $4. I think they were disappointed I didn't spring for the $15 dessert made of sponges of dried milk flakes.

Pretty disappointing. I was lured in by the billboards out on the street promising a Michelin bib gourmand worthy meal. The bill was basically US$100 for two set price meals that had several courses, as well as an ala carte curry with a side of naan and rice and three beers. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either, especially considering the price. The place seems to cater to westerners, as it seemed like only westerners were eating there, though that could simply have been my limited observation.

I came here a couple of years back - when they first opened. I was looking for a place with an interesting take to Indian Cuisine - and a friend recommended this place to me. So, I thought, why not? When I went, it was really empty thought - and I ate upstairs - and we were the only ones. What I Love: They have an interesting menu. Then, they had a seafood cheese fondue thing - which was pretty cool. And their breads were nice and yummmy. The upstairs part is barefoot dining and it is pretty cosy and has a good feel to it. It's a good spot to have a different kind of dining experience. What I Didn't Love: Their prices were wayyy wayy wayyy wayyy wayy off. Thought it was wayyy too steep for me. It came up to $100 just for 2 people? And when I asked them, they said the fondue is pretty much the reason. It's just melted cheese! And the service was kinda slow.

Tiny fun-sized portions. Mediocre taste. Poor inattentive service. Inflated and overpriced, even by Singapore standards. What more can I say about this terrible place? I was taken there by a friend. The portions were so small that they were able to place all five dishes (of mostly vegetables and just one meat) we ordered onto a gimmicky single round plate no larger than a single serving plate you use in buffets (meant to be shared among four people mind you). Even though the dishes had to be shared, the owner and waitress did not offer serving spoons to us. The taste was extremely mediocre. I've had much better Indian food in the US (Midwest) and Australia (Perth). They didn't even have fragrant basmati rice. Their rice tasted like overnight bad bran. I spent the same amount at two proper Indian restaurants in the same area where I had great tasting dishes of fish, chicken, and seafood (at those other restaurants, not here). It was one of the worst meals I have ever had in Singapore. When I was there, I wondered how the place even survives in Singapore and then I took a look around and knew why. Most of the diners were westerners, which is the only reason this rip-off place has repeat customers, because the only way such a place can maintain a following is by hoodwinking people who are new in town and who fall prey for mindless gimmicks like "dining-barefoot" easily. You can also tell from the reviewers in this website that most of the diners (and people who view the place favorably) are westerners who had just moved in to town and obviously are primed for being "chopped". This place would close down in a week in the US. Many restaurants in Singapore get away with serving average food and charging a high price in spite of it, because of the high density of Singapore. There are always more unsuspecting or willing diners who need to eat out, no matter how lousy you are. So restaurants just need to be very average. That's why the food standard here is relatively low. But most people here wouldn't understand it until they have lived abroad.

As we darted through the crowded streets of Little India this little gem really stood out. It just felt friendly, even from the street, and that turned out to be totally correct. We were greeted by a lovely woman who felt more like your Mom than a hostess. She urged us to try the upstairs barefoot dining... uh, yes please! Sounds fun! The interior of the upstairs is ultra minimal, just a few low tables with pillows to sit on and some lanterns for atmosphere. It was filled with young expats, mostly from the UK from what I could tell from their accents. We ordered the chicken masala, palak paneer, garlic naan and some rice. The hostess suggested we keep the spice level around a 1.5 or a 2. Having eaten quite a bit of Indian food but not feeling like having a super spicy meal, we went with the 2. HOLY COW was it spicy! So much so it kind of took away from our enjoyment of the food. It was pretty pricey but a fun experience. Definitely kind of more of a tourist trap type place than for locals, but worth trying.

One of the worse experiences I have ever had here. I waited patiently by the please wait here to be seated. The proprietor ignored me waiting and promptly set a table for a couple that arrived after me. I assume that the profit was higher for them that way. Shame I was testing the place out for a group of 8 there loss! Rude was the reply when I questioned her action. I would give ZERO STARS if I could.

"The Best I've ever had!" I came here with an overseas client and our families. This Restaurant is very unique as it was my first barefoot dining experience with genuine service and customer interactions. There was a variety of Indian food with exceptional quality and even has Chilli Levels. It has a friendly and warm environment with an unparalleled Indian cuisine. The service was friendly with an understanding dietary requirement as I'm lactose intolerant. It was so much fun I even signed up for the cooking class, food and wine tasting. I would highly recommend this place to everyone and hope you enjoy it as passionately as I did.

This was my favorite meal during my Southeast Asia trip. The rice was delicious with great texture. The fish curry was so delightful. The chef adapted it to be dairy free for us. The mango juice was extra refreshing in the heat. To top off the tasty meal the service was perfect. What welcoming and pleasant people.

Brought my kids for lunch at Lagnaa on Sunday after church. It was pouring and parking was as bad as it gets in Little India. ...but we persevered and fimally reached Lagnaa Barefoot Dining. The ambience was magnificent so was the food. Loved all the curry dishes and the naans. It helped that the manager(owner?) came to explain to us the menu and made some good recommendations. Overall, it was a very fulfilling meal for all of us. Will be coming again.

Always wanting to get my name on the hall of fame, i've made friends with the awesome crew here who chats with me when time permits. The service here is impeccable and they have their delish food to match it as well. Yoghurt rice is a must! Followed by a taste of the special of that month. The boyfriend loves the kathari pachidi, a stir fried eggplant with spicy tomato sauce. I love the aloo gobi here and the fish tikkas. Always so well prepared and you can even pick your spiciness level!

Amongst all the craziness of Little India, Lagnaa Barefoot is a solace of peace and quiet. The upstairs dining room is perfect for a retreat with delicious food. We had all vegetarian dishes, but you couldn't tell because all the flavors were so delicious and bold. Take off your shoes, relax, and take in the smells and tastes of India.

This place is overpriced and the food is normal. They charge you for items that are complementary in other restaurants. I suggest try a different Indian restaurant. I was traveling to singapore and went there on recommendations based on networking sites.

After being away for two months I finally joined here and am now finally getting around to writing a review. Here goes: Small portions, good service, we went on the 2nd floor and it was my first time here. The restaurant was very orderly and nice and they were super cool people. I can't tolerate spice and they were very accommodating with that and so I was able to enjoy indian food without turning into a massive sweatball. So over all it was great indian food, you definitely get what you came for. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent here and will definitely return.

Worst Indian restaurant in Singapore.. the concept, food quality and the prices are all a rip off.

After making reservations my husband and I headed towards Lagna for lunch on a saturday afternoon. Once we arrived, I was aware that though we booked to sit outside, we requested the lady (quite dark, short and on the heavier side) to have a look upstairs in the air-conditioning since it had gotten pretty humid with the sun shinning overhead. We went upstairs and there was one or two other tables occupied with a number of seating options to choose from. My husband has arthritis so he wasn't to keen to sit on his haunches so I pleaded with him to take a seat here in the cooler room with a lot of difficulty I held his hand as he proceeded to sit on his haunches with his back against the wall. We thought we would then give our order to the next waiter that came up but no one came up for a good 15 minutes so I decided to go downstairs and give the order to the waiter directly. I have been a waiter myself for 2 years in Scotland during university and hence, am extremely polite to the people in the service industry since I've had my share of rude customers. I approached the lady once more and the conversation went something like below:- Me: Hi Ma'am, we have actually taken a seat upstairs, is it possible for me to order some food ? Lady: No, but you said you only want to see upstairs. You can only order from here. Me: Sure. Thats fine. If you give me the menu - I'll take it up for my husband to look at and then I can come back down to order the food with the menus. (At this point there was only one table occupied downstairs. So not like the restaurant was buzzing with people) Lady: No, you and your husband both have to come down to order the food. Me : He actually has arthritis so why can't I be your waitress and go up and take the order and bring back your menus too ? Lady: No. No. You have to both come down. You said you were only going to take a look upstairs and now you want to order ? Me: ya, but now Iv'e come down to let you know that we would like to sit upstairs (Mind you, there were 5 tables available upstairs and there was no rush). So can we please proceed and do the ordering ? At this point the head chef comes with the menus and says he would help me out. Its not a problem. So we begin walking upstairs and then the Lady rushes behind us and stands at the foot of the stairs and screams:- Lady: Since, it is already so unpleasant I would suggest that you leave my restaurant. Me***Almost teary eyed*** : That is extremely rude and sure, we are happy to leave. On the way out the head chef asked us to have a couple of drinks and apologised on the Lady's behalf but this is easily the most shocking and insulting incident and I was already in tears by the time we walked out. In all of my years of visiting numerous restaurants all over the world I have never ever come across such horrible service. The management refuses to show even an iota of respect and flexibility for its customers. They should keep in mind that customers are the people that generate revenue for them. If you have a badly behaved customer you can justify being rude. But this lady's bad behaviour, temper and lack of respect came out of no where. From the reviews I have after coming back this place is overrated as hell - FOOD IS BELOW AVERAGE, PRICES ARE ABOVE AVERAGE AND THE SERVICE IS SITTING SOMEWHERE IN THE GUTTER. AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!
