Singapura
The food at Singapura is as diverse as the Singaporeans themselves and is a melting pot of Thai, Chinese, Malaysian and Indian cultures. At Singapura we present a menu of these multi-cultural flavors which draw from the legacy and cooking methods of housewives, private homes and hawker food stalls. The décor at Singapura, is modern, with floral ceiling lamps and comfortable booths, adorned with ancient Abacus Chinese calendars along the walls. Singapura, is a little slice of Singapore in New York City. Chicken rice anybody?

"Char Kway Teow, Nasi Goreng, Hainan Chicken and Laksa were all delicious and authentic. Sizzling Lamb was absolutely superb and excellently presented. Chili Garlic Noodles compared well with the Kway Teow. Atmosphere was relaxed and intimate. A truly memorable meal!"

"I have now become a regular and each time a friend or family members come visit me I always take them to Singapura. Without fail each time the food has been amazing and the waitstaff super friendly. I go for the food as much as for the great service. One of my favorite things is the food flavor and spice. I have yet to find a place to match Singapura."

"After living as expats in Singapore for 8 years and then moving home to NYC, we longed for some Singaporean food. Singapura did a great job of filling that longing. The Chicken Rice and Laksa were delicious, as were the Hakka noodles. The Fried Bananas, though not traditional were a yummy treat. We plan to go back often."

"The decor's warm and cozy - there are booths for smaller groups/couples, and a long table can be set up for a larger party. The Malaysian food is on-point, and I enjoyed the kangkung belacan a lot. The Malay fish curry wasn't bad, but I'll get a spicier dish next time. Friendly, attentive service."

"Inexpensive and delicious Thai food. We had the fried chicken and pan fried dumplings to start. Both were very good. Then we split 2 Noodle dishes and Lamb Rendang between 3 of us. Totally full with delicious food and $20 each. Definitely would go back."

"Singapura is tiny; be sure to make reservations. It's casual and has good friendly service, making it ideal for any occasion. Most starters are tastier than the main courses, but it's ideal for a fun appetizer tasting dinner , sharing with friends: lots of great choices like papaya salad,, cauliflower manchurian, chicken sate, etc. Spring rolls are full of cabbage and mushrooms, not my favorite, but the roti canai was so delicious I ate two of the pancakes that came with it and kept the sauce to pour over my heavenly Haiianese chicken rice and Nasi Goreng later on. I've actually been to Singapore and many of the dishes at Singapura tasted fairly authentic, with a few minute details like sauces changed up a bit. Give this place a try!"

"We reserved a table at Singapura for a birthday dinner for two friends. Everything went smoothly, there was no wait, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. They even brought out dessert with candles on it as a surprise at the end of dinner. What was even sweeter was that the dessert they brought us wasn't even on their regular menu. They clearly went to some trouble for us. Much appreciated! We will definitely be back."

"This is the closest to authentic South East Asian restaurant. The three of us got seated immediately even we got there 5 mins earlier and the place was packed! Great selection on the menu, we were having a head time to choose. Everything looked good. Fast and attentive service. The manager was very professional, hands on and helpful. The food came out fast and every single thing we ordered TASTED delicious! We were very happy. Great selection of beers too, they have an organic beer. We ordered the only dessert they said they have which was sticky rice with mango, it was excellent. Everything was just PERFECT!! Plus the prices are very reasonable! Great portions too! We were pleasntly full. We can't wait to go back and try the other dishes."

"I chose this restaurant to suit a few friends getting together, one of whom is a vegetarian so there would be plenty of options.
Our menu choices resulted in some very spicy items, a few that surprised us, so ask first, to avoid this. The food was very nice
but eventually I pulled the manager over to ensure that we had one dish that would not be hot and spicy. His recommendation
was a mild chicken-on-the-bone curry which was delicious."

There were 2 vegetarians in the group and they had many options to choose from. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The ambiance was simple with low level instrumental music in the background that made it easy to talk and hold conversations with the group. Overall, a nice place to come to have a relaxing meal."
