With its extensive menu of regional specialties and its convenient location at Clarke Quay, it is easy to see why RAS is a popular stop for Indian food around the Singapore River. The al fresco section allows diners to enjoy a charming view of the river while the classy interior, characterised by dark wood furnishings and soft lighting, is great for those in search of a more refined dining experience.

Recommended items include the Goanese prawn curry with its sweet, tangy and creamy gravy. The tandoori chicken is also a draw—well-seasoned, smoky and deliciously succulent. The paleek paneer is an excellent choice for vegetarians. This comforting dish comprises cubes of homemade cottage cheese in a delicately flavoured minced spinach gravy. For dessert, try the gulab jamun—warm milk dumplings dipped in sugar with honey syrup.
