Little more than a hole in the wall opposite the Sultan Mosque on North Bridge Road, and not far from the Golden Landmark Hotel, this restaurant serves the best murtabak in Singapore. And they have won awards for their murtabak too.
Well known to locals, but rarely visited by visitors it has a great atmosphere and some good food too. Offers a take away too and the special "drive by", but you need to be organised for the drive by pick up - might be best left to the locals! watch out for it if you vist the place.
Chicken briyani is also good, but the murtabak especially in mutton is excellent, and represents top value for money. Have a fresh lime juice to go with it.
For visitors the food is prepared right in the front enclosed section of the streetside restaurant.
Upstairs is air conditioned, but most sit downstairs or even at tables on the street.
A great visual experience for visitors, as they throw the cover for the murtabak. A bit like throwing a pizza base.
It is halal, and the place is alcohol free. Should be expected in the muslim area of Singapore, I guess. But do not let that stop you from a great feed!
If Zam Zam is full, and it is usually busy, Victory Restaurant a few doors up the road is quite good too.
The photo is taken from Zam Zam - across the road showing the golden dome of the Sultan Mosque - an easy place for a taxi driver to find.
