About Islamic Restaurant

Islamic Restaurant is one of Singapore's oldest halal establishments, with a rich history dating back to 1921. Founded by M. Abdul Rahman, who once served as the head chef for the wealthy Alsagoff family, the restaurant has maintained its reputation for excellence for over a century.

The restaurant is most renowned for its biryani, prepared using a closely guarded family recipe that has been passed down through generations. What sets their biryani apart is the distinctive method of cooking where the rice and meat are prepared separately and then layered together to create a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.

The interior of Islamic Restaurant reflects its heritage, with vintage photographs adorning the walls that chronicle its impressive history. Many notable figures, including Singapore's first President Yusof Ishak, have dined here, cementing its status as a national culinary landmark.

Despite changing food trends and the emergence of new restaurants, Islamic Restaurant has remained true to its roots, continuing to serve authentic Indian-Muslim cuisine that has stood the test of time. It represents not just a dining experience but a piece of Singapore's cultural and culinary heritage.
