Been looking for mouthwatering, heart racing delectable Nasi Briyani?
Like most Asians, rice is a Singaporean's staple food. Eating plain white rice all the time gets pretty boring,
So we try to mix things up a bit with dishes or trying different types of rice
The Nasi Briyani is one of the local favorites!
What I realise though is that it is ridiculously hard to find the PERFECT Nasi Briyani. Sure there have been some good ones,
But to find one with just enough spices to keep your tastebuds excited,
To find one moist enough so you don't feel like you're swallowing sand,
To find one with enough flavor to match the usual dish of chicken curry or fish curry along with the popular papadam,
Is so so hard!
BUT FINALLY! After trying so many recommendations and being disappointed,
I found Apollo!
You won't regret it.
Service can be pretty slow at peak periods and it can get frustrating,
But it is all worth it! Generous portions!
With all the above, your tastebuds will be jumping with excitement you can't help but smile


Super tasty even if you purchase it to go (: I had it to go and the freshness of the dishes were still intact!

The fragrance of the rice will blow you away,

The distinct taste of the spices in the curry will have your mouth watering,
The freshness of the vegetables is simply sinful.

Whether you prefer meat mutton or fish, the generous servings and the simply amazing quality of food will not disappoint!

As i said I'm not really a fan of Indian food, but my friend love it, so when going outing with her, she will bring me go around try. I find that is quite special that the rice was served in banana leaf however i don't find that is really nice,it's a bit oily to me but their curry was not bad,indeed very spicy.Service was ok, waiting time was also fast,but I don't really find the food here worth to try.

It is a super spacious place where there are 2 segments to the building the one downstairs... u makan there with all the indian style furniture and that very indian smell...


There were many things that i wanted to try it out... assortments of chicken namely the Butter Chicken and the chicken Tikka ,This with egg sambal... the chicken is epic and the rice is usually free flow.... if you wonder why indians have an everlasting belly... its not just the beer... its also the rice...

Butter chicken is damn good... feels like you have committed a very big sin... but the taste is memorable...

For the chicken tikka.... you can actually feel marinated... it tastes ever so awesome so no one can actually push that away.. It is very well accompanied with rice... with naan it actually tastes better so we bought plain naan and garlic naan. So good...

Service here is questionable but they can remember your orders... how do they do it???

The best banana leaf rice that I've ever had was in a tiny hole-in-a-wall shop in KL, Malaysia.

The best banana leaf rice that I've ever had was in a tiny hole-in-a-wall shop in KL, Malaysia. I've been there twice before they decided to relocate, and I have never even bothered remembering the name of the stall. Since then, its been a personal goal of mine to search for the next best banana leaf rice that would match up to their standards.

So whenever I get friends to recommend good banana leaf places that they've been too, everyone would immediately bring up Apolo. Given that its located in Little India, I fell for the whole legit perception of it being the most original one that I could posisbly find in Singapore.

It was a Saturday afternoon, and I was really craving for that plate of banana leaf rice which I had years back in KL. The boyfriend and I decided it was time to give Apolo a try.

Since we arrived past the lunch peak hour, we managed to get a seat pretty quickly, and was served up our food pretty fast. The servers were helpful, but sadly, my verdict for Apolo is that its overrated and perhaps overly popular to bring out that taste that I've been searching for.

The boyfriend said that the chef could have been different, as he also mentioned that it didn't taste as good as he remembered. So perhaps it was just bad luck that we went on a day when the food hasn't been that fantastic.


Perhaps I will give it another chance in the near future, but for now, I'm open to any recommendations for awesome banana leaf rice that would once again possess that flavorful taste which I would probably never find again.

The food here is quite authentic. Love the chicken tikka and the naan. Cheese naan, butter naan and garlic naan made to perfection. Plus the pappadam on the side, this meal was really awesome and to die for. The flavour was there and I quite like the fact that no utensils are used to consume all these food! Just your hands and your mouth! Love it!

A visit to the Banana Leaf Apolo at Little India always proves to be a gastronomical
experience with the never ending varieties of food in the menu.
The restaurant is always packed and it is always difficult to find a seat at the weekend.

We decided to have a mix of non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes.
After 5pm every day, the restaurant serves Indian Tiffin items.
These are the vegetarian thosais/dosas, idlis and other pancake items.
Thosai/Dosa is an Indian pancake made from rice flour and there are many different types.
We ordered the basic Plain Thosai.
It's really big and tastes best when eaten hot.
The Idli is a steamed rice flour cake that is usually served in sets of two or three.

These items are usually served with various chutneys and are popular among vegetarians.
However, we decided to team them with Chicken Curry and Mutton Masala.
Actually, these dishes go very well with Thosai and Idli - that's how we sometimes eat them at home.
We asked for NO chutney but lots of chicken curry and we also ordered Mutton Masala.
The verdict - equally heavenly - just like how we enjoy it at home.
The piping hot Thosai just melted in our mouths when dipped in the Chicken gravy.
The Idli went equally well with the gravy as well.
The Mutton Masala was absolutely finger-licking good.

It was certainly an interesting switch that paid off well.
The service was ok, given the crowd, but it does tend to get noisy when it is crowded.

During a trip to Little India, my best friend and I went to the Banana Leaf Apolo located nearer to The Verge and Tekka Market.We ordered the Black Pepper Chicken instead of the usual curry or tandoori chicken.However, we were quite disappointed by it There were more bones than meat.Also, the meat was rather tough.From past experiences, I prefer the other outlet as the food from this outlet tends to vary in quality :S

Venue: Convenient, close to MRT and buses, large and unmissableSetting: Large and quite empty everytime we've been there. Lots of seats to choose from.Value: Very over-priced. For a normal briyani which is not dum briyani, it costs $10! Normally even the better places sell for only $6. And this was takeaway so there wasn't even service involved! I had to be referred to 3 counters to place order, pay, get receipt, then go to food collection!Now about the food: Went to get a takeaway Biryani today

Venue: Convenient, close to MRT and buses, large and unmissable

Setting: Large and quite empty everytime we've been there. Lots of seats to choose from.

Value: Very over-priced. For a normal briyani which is not dum briyani, it costs $10! Normally even the better places sell for only $6. And this was takeaway so there wasn't even service involved! I had to be referred to 3 counters to place order, pay, get receipt, then go to food collection!

Now about the food: Went to get a takeaway Biryani today. It costs $10 and it wasn't even Dum Briyani! Just briyani rice with some separate curry sauce, separate mutton, separate veges. It tasted good, but it is definitely not dum briyani. And then when I looked at the bag of papadums, there's a hole at the bottom

So for that reason, I am failing this place. But otherwise the food does usually taste good. I think for dum briyani, Ansari or Allauddin is much better!

We also ordered Sotong,which was pretty average. I probably won't know because I'm not really a fan of sotong.

It was a treat from my aunt. We went for Dinner at Banana Leaf Apollo. The place was packed with tourist, Chinese and also Indians but the majority of them were tourist. I believe the food tasted so good that the whole restaurant was packed also not forgetting it was Public holiday. Well not forgetting about the dishes we order. Basically it's all the side dishes with plain rice.Dish 1: Apollo Prawn Masala - The prawn were really HUGE. 1 prawn two people will be able to share. the gravy was real

It was a treat from my aunt. We went for Dinner at Banana Leaf Apollo. The place was packed with tourist, Chinese and also Indians but the majority of them were tourist. I believe the food tasted so good that the whole restaurant was packed also not forgetting it was Public holiday. Well not forgetting about the dishes we order. Basically it's all the side dishes with plain rice.

Dish 1: Apollo Prawn Masala - The prawn were really HUGE. 1 prawn two people will be able to share. the gravy was really thick and nice. Wasn't really Spicy.

Dish 2: Squid Curry - Contents 2 Big Squids cut into small pieces. the curry was very tasty with the spicyness.

Dish 3: Apollo Chicken Masala - The gravy was almost the same as Prawn Masala. But the chicken was really soft and the gravy was really delicious. i used the gravy for my rice. i didn't touch the curry as the gravy tasted really good.

Dish 4: Tandoori Chicken: Whenever you go dine in a North indian or South indian restaurant this dish is a must have.

Dish 5: Fish Cutlet : it was really crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. they smashed the potato with the fish and dip it in flour and fry it. I don't really like Fish cutlet but i ENJOYED EATING THIS ONE ACTUALLY!

I would go back AGAIN FOR SURE to try out other dishes. You should also go try it out

We ordered a vanilla kulfi. It tasted something like ice cream but there was something about it that tasted really different. It was like ice cream and cookies blended todether.Imagine the feeling when it just melts in your mouth.AMAZING.I could taste pistachio in it although there wasn't any whole pistachios.And better yet,it comes in a few flavours.

It only costs $4.50++ .Really very reasonable I would say.

This restaurant is one of Singapore's oldest
Indian restaurants and a household name.
This outlet is located in the heart of the Little India Arcade.
Had the White Rice sets with vegatables and Masala chicken, as well as Pepper chicken.
The vegetables were non spicy and spicy - the cabbage was good.
The two types of chicken are specialities at this restaurant.
The spices added give both their distinctive taste that brings customers back for more.
We also tried the fish cutlets - they were tasty and full of flavour as well.
The Indian soup (raasam) can be drunk like a soup or added to white rice.
When added to white rice, the rice is wonderful to eat.
The two types of chicken go well with it , too.
This is great if you dont want too much curry.
The raita - an Indian salad - is a pleasing addition to the meal.
Overall the food was good, but the restaurant was crowded and noisy at lunch time.
However the prices were reasonable and service was fast.
