Mr Biryani: Popular Indian restaurant with snaking queues

Reservations are compulsory because the lines at this South Indian restaurant in Singapore often snake out beyond the block.

Each dish brings the heat – everything is cooked with spices and masala powders that are directly imported from the Indian state of Andhra – so if your spice tolerance is on the low side, ask the waiter for recommendations before you place an order.
