Yantra

Food was good but not unforgettable. Service was very good, especially the guy who attended to us. Probably one of the best service staff I have ever met. This place is expensive.

Celebrated our anniversary dinner here and the food was amazing ! Packed with flavours and textures. Spiced well, but some of them were too spicy for us but overall we enjoyed the food as well as their friendly hospitality.

Delicious Indian food. Punctual staff. Soothing ambience. I went for a casual dining experience, but wow! Food top notch chef, classy presentations, everything healthy. I ordered chaat, achari tikka, veg biryani (nawabi one), and rabdi jalebi (which was okayish 3.5/5), were amazingly delicious. If you are in Singapore and wish to go for a fine dine experience with Indian taste and great hospitality, Yantra is a must visit. I found it a bit pricy but looking at the quality of food, I think it’s worth. Great experience, wish to visit again!

Yantra @ Bangkok We were fortunate to have found a “more like internal affair” almost secretive ad of Yantra’s one month pop-up try-out @ Anantara Riverside Bangkok, and decided to give it a try. We were wondering what would be the modern Singaporean Indian’s take on Indian cuisine. Turns out their endeavor does not disappoint. It was such a delightful experience that we had to repeat, meaning twice one weekend after another, bringing along more dear friends, each well-prepared with empty stomach, and found ourselves even more impressed. To begin with, the restaurant was successful in giving us a grand tour of an appetizing Indian gastronomy, mixing and matching not only fine dining but also home-cooking and street foods from different regions into beautiful harmony of flavors. We got to know the talented and generous Chef Pinaki who offered to exclusively prepare for us a private Chef’s table set with the concoction of his specialties, one after another, which never failed to wow us and entertain our satiable palates. What distinguished his food in our opinions were the lightness and refreshing balance of spice use; it’s still full of flavors, but not overly greasy, not over-spiced, and contains lots of vegetables & nuts. We had a very satisfying meal, without feeling heavy or bloated. The GM, aka Tim, was very friendly and hospitable from the beginning, and throughout our journey, he continued to exceed our expectations. We very much appreciated the story telling, origin, and ingredients of each dish, and how the restaurant elevated the dish into making it more interesting and presentable. The short list of our most favorite & outstanding dishes are: - Chaat Banarasi (three different chaat amalgamated into the extraordinary one) - Samosa Chaat (we can no longer imagine having a samosa without chaat !!!) - Badal Jaam (roasted eggplants with scrumptious toppings) - Ema Datshi (heart warming spicy vegetable broth infused with cheddar cheese) - The fizzy drink made from Indian five spices served between appetizers and mains was amazingly refreshing; such a beautiful & aromatic palate cleanser. - Mahi Tikka (succulent grill mustard marinated sea bass with green mango chutney) - Sutta gosht (hearty and warm curry with tender mutton, very well suited to naan & paratha) - Chingri MalaiKari (Malay-influenced shrimp curry with coconut milk, superb when soaked with Pulao rice) - Nimona (winter vegetable stew that goes very well with everything else) After the meal, we still enjoyed Masala tea, that goes along very well with Chena Malpua pancake (made with cottage cheese) & Kulfi ice cream in reduced milk sauce with pistachio. It was such a perfect ending that made us yearn for our next time. We hope the restaurant will consider Bangkok as one of its future homes. Too bad, I think this pop-up try-out was not properly advertised; it’s a bit far outside the city center and its usual target crowd, and therefore, not many local Bangkokians were aware of it or even privileged to try the food. I believe that if the restaurant can maintain this exceptional standards of food and services, with suitable location & marketing strategy, I am confident that Yantra has a potential to succeed in Thailand and please the locals and tourists alike.

Totally enjoyed the experience so I actually went back twice within a week. The service and food were both so good. We even got a mini tour of the restaurant after our meal. Really appreciate Semthil hospitality and made our dinning experience so lovely.

Probably the best Indian cuisine in Singapore. Fine dine, fine decor, delicious food, great ambience. Tim Kumar's explanation of every dish is equally delightful 😊

Everything was truly top notch. Indian food at its best. Not too spicy, not overly oily. Perfect balance of flavors and aromas. Kudos to the staff and chefs. Excellent work.

This is one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve experienced in Singapore. They serve exquisite Indian cuisine crafted with top-quality ingredients, meticulously spiced for incredible flavor. I particularly enjoyed the yogurt appetizer called Chaat Banarasi, which featured a delightful mix of ingredients like pomegranate, beetroot, chickpeas, and lentil dumplings in sweetened aerated yogurt. The dish's texture was great and refreshing, especially when you crack the dumplings and blend everything together. Another standout dish was the unique pulled duck wrapped in a rice pancake, topped with mango salsa and popped amaranth. The duck was flavorful, and the silky-smooth wraps were perfectly prepared—I couldn't resist going back for seconds! However, the slow-cooked mutton with cumin was slightly tough and a bit bland for my taste; I prefer a more tender lamb with a bolder flavor. The highlight of the meal was their signature Nasi Biryani, available with lamb or chicken. We chose the chicken version, which was cooked in purdah with aromatic mint, saffron, and coriander. They cracked the bread at the table, revealing steaming hot rice and meat, which paired wonderfully with some curry. We were pleasantly surprised when our waiter, Senthil, offered us a complimentary Dal Moradabadi to try. He was incredibly attentive, sharing details about the dishes and the origins of the ingredients, all while showcasing the chef's creativity in crafting a unique and memorable meal. To complement the meal, we enjoyed a lovely Shiraz wine from Australia. My wife, who usually isn't a wine drinker, absolutely fell in love with it. The service was excellent, and the ambiance, especially around the bar, was beautiful. We had a fantastic night and will definitely be back.
