Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant

It was my second time trying to place - the price has increased significantly but fortunately the portion size was reasonable. We ordered one Maggi goreng with a sunny side up, one Maggi goreng ikan bilis, one kway teow goreng, some fried chicken and a chicken murtabak. The food was served within less than 20 minutes. Both Maggi goreng was acceptable but the Kway Teow goreng was a little salty. Of all, the murtabak was the best. The fried chicken was too dry - appeared to be pre-fried, reheated upon order.

The portion were huge! I ordered beef biryani, the meat was juicy and tender, I liked it! Then we also ordered beef murtabak, which also had a huge portion! For drink, I ordered katira, which unexpectedly very nice, it's unique but not too strong. Apparently, there's also second floor here. I think it's better to pay cash here, since if you use visa/mastercard, there's an additional charge.

My friend recommended this restaurant, and I can say I’m in love with Zam Zam! The first time we entered, the staff greeted us with a smile and suggested we go to the 2nd floor for a more comfortable area with air conditioning. We only waited about 5 minutes before all the food and drinks were served. I could easily communicate with the staff in Malay. Mutton Lamb Briyani 🌟5/5 The briyani rice was perfect not too sticky and the mutton curry matched so well with it. The lamb was tender and easy to eat. Chicken Masala 🌟5/5 Definitely the best dish! I loved the masala curry, it was a bit spicy and super delicious. Deer Murtabak 🌟5/5 The portion was huge, haha! I really liked the dipping sauce, it went perfectly with the murtabak. Teh Tarik 🌟 4/5 Just right, though a little too sweet for me. The portions are sooo big, I’d suggest sharing with friends, three meals can easily feed four to five people. They also don’t charge if you want to take away the leftovers. Definitely will come back here!

Located at the main road, you can order and pickup from the roadside in advance. There are 2 floors, with the upper one aircon. It was recommended when we had a tour near this area. Ordered Deer meat mutabak and tulang merah to eat in and take away their famous fish head curry. The roti is crispy since it is freshly made but the mince deer meat very dry. Tulang merah is done well with the meat easily peeled off from the bone. Also the tulang merah(translated red blood in bone) can be easily sip with a straw. The packed fish head curry was told it can only feed 2-3 pax so we bought 2 since we have 6 pax to feed. It was disappointing as we ate the sand feeling in our mouth from the fish stomach area. Thus the cleaning was not done properly. 6 pax managed to finished only one portion and that we don’t have other additional ingredients. So buying 2 was way too much. Overall, food was disappointing due to the high expectations and hype for this shop.

Food 4/5, service 5/5, atmosphere 3/5 We already had lunch but heard of this place so decided to check it out and try some light ‘snack’. We had the chicken korma and vege murtabak. The chicken korma was good, the dhal that came w the murtabak was great. Btw I don’t expect the presentation to be great but it would be better. Lol. I particularly found it weird that they put fries in the vegetarian murtabak? (Not bad different but just surprised). Overall I’ll definitely return to try other dishes.

Visited here at the recommendation of a bartender, did not disappoint! I got the mutton bryiani & lime juice for SGD$12.50. They do not accept AMEX, so have SGD or another credit card ready. Nice view of the Sultan Mosque temple. Glad I was able to experience it & the portion was large, I was unable to finish it all.

Around 850 PM on 20 December, my father bought 2 medium murtabaks (chicken and beef) and some other things for takeaway which cost total of $37+. After my father ordered, not just 5 minutes after, they had prepared all the items which was unusually fast. My father asked, and the cashier said they prepared the Murtabak in advance. THIS indicated that the murtabak was NOT done freshly and had been left for who knows how long. And to our dismay, when we reached home and was ready to eat the murtabak, specifically the beef murtabak, it was stale and spoiled. we are VERY disappointed with this.

This spot was absolutely zamming. We came here around brunch time, and there were a few open tables inside. We split an iced Milo (tasty) and a chicken murtabak, the signature dish here. The murtabak was a big eggy pancake stuffed with flavorful chicken, and provided with two delicious dipping sauces. The chicken was generally tender, but not particularly juicy - not a problem as the dips provide all the requisite moisture, and the dish shines with all elements working in concert. An institution for good reason and certainly worth visiting. Zam it up!

Unexpectedly good Indian food in Singapore. I liked both the biryani and the pancake. I couldn't stop eating both. The serving is huge though!

We wanted a non-US tourist meal. The food here is Indian or Malaysian and over 75% of the female customers wore Muslim head coverings. All of the employees were ethnic Indian. DH started with chicken murtaba and then had a curry dish. The curry was too spicy for him and it was also too much food for him. I had the chicken masala and a side of cabbage. We weren't in love with the food, but seeing all of the locals happily devouring the food, I'll rate four stars.

I'm extremely disappointed with Zam Zam. There was deception and people that just don't take accountability. While visiting Singapore, Zam Zam was definitely on the list of places to try. But upon arriving, we were seated upstairs at a table that was dirty and I cleaned plates and grease stained table top. Eventually, the table was bussed and our order was taken. What was surprising was that when we asked for water, they said they don't offer water and we must order drinks. Okay, that's fine, we ordered drinks. But upon looking at the tables around, everyone had multiple cups of water all around. When we asked why? The server said that they only offered tap water and that we didn't make it clear to them what we wanted. Uh, how would we know? When someone asks for water? Generally, how would they know what water options there were? It got too much and we couldn't continue to support this establishment. We left. It's very sad that this restaurant received praise from tourists and is in turn trying to make a quick buck off of tourists. At least the upstairs is air conditioned.

Came here on a recommendation from a dear friend, and in Singapore this place is famous for their murtabak, which is kind of like a stuffed pan-fried crepe. The chicken one tasted great with an aromatic spicy red sauce, but it did have some decent sized bones inside that I'm glad I detected while chewing it. The beef one didn't have as much flavor and used ground meat, not bad but a more delicate flavor. We also ordered a cold teh tarik (milk tea) which was went great with the food. Zam Zam is a very casual open-air spot.

Came to Zam Zam to try murtabak and it was pretty good! I went with the mutton version and was surprised that I really couldn't taste the gamey flavor, maybe because it's ground and then scrambled with egg? The crepe it was wrapped it had a roti-like texture that was crispy, delicate, and chewy. It was also delivered with some curry on the side which really packed some heat but was also really really good! With my murtabak I ordered an iced teh c (ice tea with condensed milk) and it was very refreshing as all iced drinks are in Singapore lol. SGD 9 for this hearty breakfast

Zam Zam is an institution for murtabak and other Indian inspired halal items near the Sultan Mosque. We walked by the restaurant numerous times during our recent trip to Singapore, and it always appears busy. We decided to try the famous murtabak as well as the biryani for dinner. The upstairs dining room remained at capacity throughout our dinner, though we were seated immediately. We ordered a medium mutton murtabak and a mutton biryani, which proved slightly too much food for my wife and me. For two diners, a small murtabak and a biryani should do. The biryani possessed fragrant and fluffy rice and had a tender piece of mutton, though the seasoning was on the lighter side and it slightly lacked the dum flavor. The murtabak had an excellent crispy soft texture. We found the mutton topping a little dry, but this was ameliorated with a healthy dousing of the flavorful curry served alongside. The murtabak are all made fresh to order in the front of the restaurant, which was evident in the taste. Prices were reasonable given the quantity of food. Overall, this famous restaurant is worth a visit for solid murtabak and biryani in the neighborhood.

The food is excellent very basic, but so good Only local people know about this place super recommend for tourists not nice place, but super delicious

Tried the chicken murtabak and a lime soda, both were delicious! I had never tried a murtabak, and wish they had them in LA. Prices were very reasonable, the servers were really friendly, and the food came out super fast! They have an upstairs and a downstairs, upstairs more sit down and downstairs more casual.

Zam Zam is a longstanding Indian restaurant in Little India with plenty of tables on the first and second floor. It's a sit down restaurant with an extensive menu with Indian classics as well as some dishes that demonstrate the Singaporean influence on Indian cuisine. Their drink options even have the classic tehs and kopis. Regrettably, I was already quite full before I arrived so my sister and I only ordered one dish to share, but the servers were super nice in explaining the dishes we didn't recognize. Tulang Merah (4.5/5): This is a dish that the internet says was invented by the Indian community in Singapore and is a bright red mutton bone marrow curry. Honestly, I had no idea what to expect, but it was perfectly balanced between sweet, savory, and spicy. The mix of spices was super unusual and while I'd never had anything like it before, I'm sad that I don't think I'll get to have this again any time soon. I did struggle a bit with getting to the bone marrow and eventually caved and asked for a straw, which worked great.

Had a great meal there with my family, but was shocked to discover a 10% credit card surcharge added to my VISA payment. I certainly didn't expect this in Singapore. It's disappointing to see such practices here.

Amazing murtabak. The small was too big for me. I tried to finish it but I couldn't. To really enjoy the food here come with at least 2 other friends

famous murtabak but also very oily and if not made fresh then gets clumpy and dry, nice dipping sauce flavor and spice

This restaurant came highly recommended for Indian food. Since our family was visiting the Sultan Mosque, Zam Zam was a perfect choice, since it was right across the street from the mosque. We were seated on the second floor of the restaurant, which had air conditioning. Yay. There were many tables to be seated at. But, the tables were too close to each other. So, it felt quite cramped. Our waiter arrived to take our order. We got the mutton murtabak, mutton biryani, and pulled hot milk tea. Everything that we ordered was delicious. The murtabak tasted like an eggy, floury pancake with tons of flavorful mutton inside. Also, the rice in the biryani had a great fluffy texture. They didn't skimp on the mutton in this dish either. What I was quite impressed with was the pulled milk tea. It was such an aromatic tea, and had the right amount of sweet condensed milk. It was even better than the best pulled milk tea I've had in Hong Kong. The only thing was that the customer service was quite brutish here. It's probably best to be very direct with what you want to order. You can point to the menu items you want to get. Also, be sure to confirm your orders too, since our waiter initially got our order wrong. He had to flag down another waiter to help him make sure our order was correct. Otherwise, when I visit Singapore again, I'll definitely be back here for their delicious food and milk tea.

Their online info said they opened at 7a. We showed up at 8a and the proprietor was rude and said they opened at 9a. We were willing to wait and asked if they had vegetarian options like we saw online. Again, he was rude and said no, they did not have vegetarian options. In unrelated news, nice views of the mosque from here.

I've been on a Martabak craze since I landed in SIN about a 5 days ago. And I had to go to this place. Their Indian Martabak is really good. It's close to what I remembered all those years ago in Indonesia. However, I think the Indo Indian Martabak had other things in it besides just meat and the martabak itself. Regardless, love this place. The Cik that was helping me was a little terse, but nice enough to hook this brother up w/ a martabak at close to 11 PM. Terima kasih Cik.

Are people really complaining about the service? It's an old school Indian Muslim restaurant that's here to serve you delicious food, not chat with you about your day and check up every 5 mins to see how your food tastes. Get the local experience and order food with no frills (even if that means getting your own water). Anyways, this place has become a bit touristy (see my point above), but my local friends still come here for one reason and one reason only. The murtabak. The mutton murtabak + teh tarik has been my winning combo and it's what brings me back every time I'm in town.

Authentic Murtabak and briyani, according my Friend from Saudi Arabia! My first time trying the cuisine and it was delicious! We finished all of our food and ordered a second mutton murtabak cuz it was that good Teh ice (iced milk tea) is a must try as well

2.5 stars Singapore Zam Zam is a busy, busy "Indian Muslim food" restaurant near Bugis. There's open air seating on the first floor and a much larger air conditioned dining room on the second floor. To eat, we started with the mutton biryani, which was a pile of basmati rice with a tender piece of mutton in the center and a creamy curry on the side. Though tasty, I found the rice to be rather bland (compared to some other biryanis I've had), since it wasn't actually cooked with the meat or with many spices. We also had the special deer murtabak, a stuffed flatbread filled with ground deer and egg. Overall, the murtabak was rather bland and flavorless--it came with a curry on the side for dipping, but otherwise had almost no flavor. On the plus side, the portion sizes here were definitely generous for the price, but I can't say I get the hype about Zam Zam.

food is good. ask the waiter to have it heated and not cold served. murtakbak is very delicious. must give it a try

They have indoor and outdoor seating. I elected to sit outside, as it is located right across from some historic buildings in Little India/Arab Street. It's a great spot for people watching over lunch. The staff are very friendly. I'm an indecisive eater when it comes to new menus, and they were able to make really helpful (and delicious) recommendations. If you're the appetite bigger than your actual stomach type like me, you can dine in and order take out at the same time. The staff are super helpful with that. This is also located in the optimal spot for anyone who has some time to take a stroll through the rest of Little India/Arab Street. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to other tourists who are in the area!

Zam Zam, thank you, Ma'am. This place is right on Arab Street, directly in front of the Sultan Mosque. The specialization here is biryani and murtabak. I found the biryani to be on the bare side. It's got a good mix of spices for complexity, and although the mutton was tender and easy to peel, I've had better. Murtabak is very good. The deer option is their popular one, and it's good. It's an ideal shareable item. It's pretty bulky, and it's filling. They're generous with the meat portion inside. Also, you can try the fish head curry. My opinion? It's just okay. It makes for a good picture, but I found the actual fish to be rather tough- not as flaky/peel-able. This place has been featured on some travel programs, and it's also a popular YouTube travel vlog destination. That said, despite being a legitimate landmark mamak shop, I'll say that the food is good, but not amazingly outstanding as I initially expected. If you're from Malaysia, you probably will not be impressed, and there's a 90% chance you'll say/brag to some extent about how the mamak food in Malaysia is better than Singapore. Otherwise, this food will probably blow your tourist mind away. It's good though.

Zam zam is one of the most famous place for din briyani in Singapore. With that, it's extreme let crowded with tour groups dropping by to try it out. The store is the same as it was 20 years ago and we sat at a table next to the kitchen. I question their hygiene standards from what I saw. Nevertheless, their dum briyani that cost $8 was yummy but I won't say the best.

We found Singapore Zam Zam on the Lonely Planet guidebook. We wanted to try the Murtabak - a Halal Malaysian stuffed Pancake. We had a choice of Beef , Mutton , Chicken or Sardines . We chose the Chicken Murtabak. The Chicken Murtabak was excellent with the gravy sauce that came on a separate bowl. The Murtabak was otherwise bland tasting without the gravy. The iced coffee was refreshing and complemented the Murtabak- they have a system to determine which coffee drink had milk versus none, sugar versus sugar free. I recommend stopping for at least a snack at Zam Zam when visiting Kampong Glam in Singapore .

Zam Zam is pretty much an institution for murtabak and briyani having been around for years though I only know of it a few years ago.But pretty much everyone has heard of Zam Zam and it can get crowded even late at night. There are more tables upstairs to accommodate the diners. We were lucky to get a table at 7 pm as the rain probably kept people away. We shared the chicken murtabak and mutton briyani. Both were really good. The murtabak was huge and full of chicken pieces. I was expecting a flattish murtabak which was my experience at other joints so this was a surprise. The mutton was very tender and you could cut it with your fork. The rice was flavorful with the mutton and the gravy was just perfect too. Teh halia was another winner though if you dislike sugar, you will probably need to ask them to reduce it. For me, that is what a typical teh is. Sweet to wash down a heavy meal, and you don't even need dessert after that.

Must go restaurant when you are visiting Haji lane. Very authentic Muslim food and price is cheap too. I think most of the tourist and local people eat at this location.. There is 1st floor and 2nd floor.. If you are seated on 1st floor, ask the server to be seated at second floor since there is Air Condition. I noticed that restaurant employees seats local people on 1st floor and tourists on 2nd floor. I tried biryani, murtsbak and fish head curry. Love the sauce when you eat with biryani. Great combination.

Stay away from the fruit drinks, which for some reason, though Zam Zam resides in a tropical country chock full of cheap tropical fruit like all the neighboring restaurants, chooses to serve its 'blueberry juice' with neon blue Gatorade-looking syrup, and then have the gall to tell me, 'it's blueberries!' No it isn't. Stop. The mutton murtabak is fairly tasty, and is really helped out by the savory dal (complete with sheep-meat chunk to flavor it), but they really skimp on the meat, filling the pastry mostly with onions. For $9, I expect some meat, particularly in a city where $9 usually gets you full to bursting. Mutton is a strongly flavored meat, and if I have to cock my head and concentrate to taste it, you're not using enough.

Was lucky to get a seat as I stopped by with a group just as a fasting period was coming to an end. The place was full, and due to the holiday we were supposed to have put in an order earlier that day. This left the only item on the menu to be the murtabak. At first the group was a bit disappointed but then the murtabaks arrived. I was stunned at how delicious they were, and with the slight spice of the dipping sauce, they disappeared from everyone's plate in a matter of minutes and they are fairly large! Definitely worth a trip!

Tried something new on Arab Street! Yelp led me to Zam Zam where I enjoyed the chicken murtabak - flour, eggs, onion and chicken with a little bit of spice + views of the Masjid Sultan! Friendly staff explained the menu and food was out in less than 5 minutes.

I heard amazing reviews about their Murtabak so I had to try one before leaving Singapore. It worked out perfectly since I also wanted to visit the Sultan Mosque. You can order it for take-out or eat inside their restaurant. The venue itself isn a bit run-down and the service isn't the best but their Murtabak is delicious! I ordered their SMALL Chicken Murtabak. It reminds me of "Chinese dan-bing?". I told the server that we wanted a small since we had breakfast not too long ago. The small is suppose to be $6 but when I saw the bill, the gentlemen charged us $8, SOOOOO I assume that he gave us the medium-sized Murtabak. It's quite filling for a party of three! (Unless you are famished, you might want to also order an additional dish). The Murtakbak comes with a dipping sauce (very watered down.. Reminds me of a curry taste) and cucumbers with some red sweet sauce (?). Compliments well with the Murtabak. I also ordered their house drink, Vanilla Kathira. You have to order it in a bottle. Reminds me of really sweet vanilla soy milk. I enjoyed it! TRY IT WHEN YOU ARE IN SINGAPORE!

Decent food at a fair price, service is passable. The murtabak has multiple thin layers of dough that are somewhat chewy, rather than crisp. It's pretty filling and tasty. The $7 beef murtabak is definitely a good/large sized-meal for one person. In between the layers of dough are ground beef and onion - but the flavor is fairly mild overall. I'd recommend using the fork and spoon to tear the murtabak into bite sized pieces, and then using the spoon to dip the pieces into the curry. The murtabak by itself is actually pretty mild in flavor and has a nice chewy texture. The dough is spread very thin but it has to have enough gluten to do that so the chew is nice. The curry has a mild body, isn't too heavy on the coconut, and is very dense in flavor. It's got good chili flavor, some heat, and some tang. Really tasty with the murtabak and really amps up the flavor. Skip the coffee. Seriously, not worth getting. Tastes like stale Maxwell House. The service here is a little iffy - the best tip is just to be vocal about what you want and when you want it, otherwise you'll be sitting patiently for a while.

The food here is soooo good. My friend and I saw that this place got great reviews so we decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. Service isn't the best and the servers aren't the nicest, but the food definitely makes up for it. Don't overlook this place based on its appearance. It's located right beside the famous Arab street, so for tourists like myself and my friend we could easily work over to explore the area right after we finished our meal. A walk is also necessary after such a carb-heavy meal. Tourists and non-tourists alike have to try this place out!

Singapore Zam Zam, just North of the city center, is a neighborhood staple serving a variety of middle eastern and Muslim Singaporean food. The price are reasonable and the building reminds me of late night spots in Pittsburgh. It's very casual and right by the local mosque. There's outside seating on the street and air conditioning on the second floor. Everybody goes for the murtabak. It's a cross between a crepe and an omelet stuffed with spiced meat and vegetables. You rip off a piece and dip it in a curry. This thing is delicious. Big time flavor and very filling. We got some mee goreng which they did a great job with too. You can get a huge meal for a great price and I'd highly recommend it.

Loved the food. I was visiting Sultan Mosque and read reviews of zam zam.. it is right across from the mosque. Never had murtabak before so tried mutton biryani and murtabak and it was great. Very reasonable prices and great food.

We were nearby and decided to pop into Zam Zam as hubby has heard much about it. We ordered: * Beef Murtabak - Crispy outside and generous inside with beef and onion bits. $5 for a small one but fills you up! Good size for the price. * Egg Onion Prata - they don't have kosong Prata so I opted for egg onion to up the flavour! Like the Murtabak, the Prata is crispy and tasty! What's particularly even more yummy was the fish curry!! It's really good that I asked for TWO more top-ups!! The Prata curry combo is power!! * Chicken Biryani - we were not hungry but just greedy so we ordered a chicken biryani to share. Great decision as the rice alone is al dente and flavourful. The chicken is with not much sauce that I initially thought it would be too dry a plate to get maximum enjoyment. I was wrong! Every mouth a delight and I ate more than I said I was gonna eat. Heh * Teh Halia - this is my usual go-to drink and theirs didn't disappoint. Thick and sweet and gingery. Just the way I love it!!! The shop itself is a visual delight. Many things to see on the walls and around. Only after the meal did I realise that they have an Aircon upstairs. And they are apparently so famous that they made their own Zam Zam signs for patrons to take selfies with. They also sell their own bottled water!! And also their Zam Zam Polo Tee if you like!!! Amazing! Well, I'm just there for the food.

Delicious Indian food! Had the prawn curry which was with tomato chili paste and onions. Mutton Murtubak was really flavorful, it was like egg and naan stuffed with onions and ground mutton. Fish Biryanis was fragrant and flavorful!

If you haven't been yet, this is a 100+ year old institution of Singapore. If you have to try couple of things, I recommend the mutton biryani (hayderabadi dum biryani where the meat is hidden under the rice and there is plenty of it), and the chicken murtabak. The later is made with Ghee, purified butter, can be a little heavy if you are not used to it. The beef masala is very good too. There is a broad range of teas (teh) and local drinks, great to sample! The food is plenty enough for 2 and cost S$20. The restaurant has had a facelift, new stairs, upstairs is air conditioned, brighter lights, new flooring and nice and bright photos of dishes. The walls have had a good scrub so it's nice and shiny! This is my 3rd visit, and am sure is not the last, great place for a good hearty meal.

Great food. Super cheap but cash only and you'll be sitting close to your neighbors :-). Get the Murtabak - it's incredible.

We came here stranded by the rain and decided to try a Zam Zams. We got the lamb murtabak and an iced coffee. The coffee was a weak nesquick with a malted milk after taste, the murtabak for me was ok. It's the equivalent of an Indian paratha but with ground lamb inside and comes with a dipping sauce. Unfortunately I'm allergic to a spice used in the dipping sauce and my throat got itchy and started closing up which ruined the remainder of the meal for me. Not like I got much in since there was so much filling I dropped half on the way to my mouth. Next time I'd get the murtabak alone with a spatula to transport it into my mouth

Chicken murtabak was the best dish of the meal. It comes in small, medium, or large, and a small size is good for one person. The roti was nicely browned and the chicken was moist with lots of flavor. We also tried the fish biriyani, but the fish was rather dry and the rice was intermittently flavored -- perhaps it was supposed to be like that, but I would have liked a more complex flavor. The curry that came with it also tasted mildly of lamb, which was a bit off putting. The iced teh chio was quite yummy, but my friend said the teh c wasn't sweet enough. Also, the tea was still piping hot when they iced it, making the bottom warm while the top cold, which made for a rather inconsistent drink. Service was spotty at best -- we were sitting right by the staircase where there were constantly waiters running back and forth, yet it was almost impossible to catch anyone's attention. It's possible that Zam Zam may have been a top-notch joint at some point, but like many other restaurants, complacence and laziness took over, making the food passionless and mediocre.

Awful experience from start to finish. Came around noon for lunch. There were roaches crawling on the walls. It takes forever to flag down someone to place the order. Service is practically nonexistent. They were out of roti which was the main reason we came. The complementary curry was the only tasty food we tried.

Best Indian food that I had in Singapore. I'd eat here every week if I could. Yum. Every dish we tried was great.

Just the way I remember... After 12 years, I m back to the MOTHERLAND.. for a visit... This time around, I purchased 2 small lamb (mutton) murtabak @ $6 each, while the beef murtabak was $5. I ask the staff who handled my purchased for the gravy Dhal instead of the curry that they offer. My family often came here to purchase murtabak to go, for special ocassions or to feed families members who came for a visit or its easy to feed a crowd with the murtabak purchase. This time around, both my Mum and I do not fancy the slices of cucumber filled with the ketchup. The slices of cucumber tasted "old" and it tasted quite bad. Hence for the ketchup cucumber we threw it away. As for the Murtabak, it did not disappoint. With the purchased, both my Aunts who now lived in Malaysia, also enjoyed the Murtabak.. as good as they can even remember. All in all Zam Zam restaurant, is our to go murtabak stall/vendor that has been our family favorite.

This is a good place to go for a quick-fix of mutton biryani. Despite being very popular, I find their food to be on the average side. Don't expect a quite place where you can enjoy sitting down to talk with your friends. Zam Zam is more like an oversized street food establishment with a roof on our top.

Your go to when your have cravings in the wee hours. And no craving for western, more on East asian "snacks" / bites.

Enjoyed plate of chicken biryani and prata with tasty sweet black coffee. Wonderful flavors and outstanding service. A must visit for the taste of India in Singapore.

Been going to Zam Zam for over 30 years The mutton murtabak and milk coffee is as good as the first visit in the 80s. A must for any visit to Singapore.

I was looking forward to this place based off the reviews but it's very greasy and low quality. Tried chicken murtabak, deer, and some beef. All so so and so greasy and flavorless. I really wanted to like it but I'd rather eat at the hawker market or the mall food court or orchard Rd. It's a lively and interesting place right across from the sultan mosque in the Arab street area. Maybe they make good tea or something else. Sigh

Yes. Definitely yes. Good eats and reasonably priced. We had the mutton BRIYANI and deer MURTABAK. They provide complimentary curry on the side. It was delicious. It is located in Little India. I highly suggest going to this restaurant instead of one of the restaurants in Little India's main streets (Haji Lane and Arab St) because they are so overpriced. The food here is tasty tasty tasty. You will see a lot of locals here which is a good sign. It was a good find for us. Enjoyed it. Go upstairs, there is air conditioning!!!

How can't I love this place! Cheap and good food. From most of my experience, don't expect too much of television shows have introduced the place so many times. This is because there might be so many customers and it makes food and service quality bad. I have to admit that there are many customers. However, the food is still good. If you prefer to eat in a quiet place, then this is not your place. However, if you would like to try good food during traveling, come! A must place in Singapore.
