Rang Mahal Restaurant & Bar | Best Indian Restaurant in Singapore

Rang Mahal is quite possibly the most opulent North Indian restaurant I have had the pleasure of dining in. A friend suggested we sample their set lunch, priced at S$38+++ per person. I made the reservation online a week in advance. On the day, my friend and I arrived at approximately 11:30 am. Although their lunch service commences at 12 noon, the attentive staff kindly allowed us to be seated at our table. We were offered lemon-infused water to refresh ourselves. Our waiter did advise us to wait a short while longer, as the kitchen was still preparing for the lunch service. We opted for the non-vegetarian selection, which included Nawabi Chicken Tikka, Konkan Fish Curry, Punjabi Yellow Dal Tadka, and Rajasthani Palak. These dishes were accompanied by Burrani Raita, Mango and Turnip Salad, Green Pea Pulao, and a bread basket. While awaiting our meal, I took the opportunity to observe the restaurant's interior. It is an exceptionally modern Indian restaurant, a departure from the conventional. The décor features a contemporary, botanical-inspired design, incorporating natural elements and organic motifs. The colour scheme revolves around salmon and white, creating a welcoming yet sophisticated atmosphere. Large windows allow ample natural light to flood the space, enhancing the connection with the outdoors. The minimalist table settings, with their clean lines and simple tableware, contribute to the contemporary aesthetic. A variety of chair styles and colours adds visual interest and depth to the space. The background music, a blend of house, techno, and new age, adds a modern touch to the overall ambience. Now, that concludes my observations of Rang Mahal. My friend and I departed the restaurant, and you may wonder why. Upon inquiring about the arrival of our food, our waiter repeatedly assured us it would be "two minutes." After several inquiries, these "two minutes" stretched into fifteen. At approximately 12:15 pm, our food had still not been served. Consequently, my friend and I decided to leave the restaurant. We don't blame the service staff, as we suspect the kitchen was not coordinating effectively with them, causing the repeated delays. This will likely be our first and last visit to Rang Mahal. I am sure many others have had pleasant dining experiences here, but unfortunately, we did not. Nevertheless, I will still award them a fair rating of 3 out of 5 stars for their hospitality and ambience.

We had an excellent lunch experience at Rang Mahal. We ordered both the non-vegetarian and vegetarian Thali, and every item on the platter was outstanding. The curries were rich and aromatic, the vegetables were perfectly seasoned, and the meats were tender and cooked with great precision. Everything arrived piping hot, which made each bite even more satisfying. The service truly stood out. Clinton was exceptionally friendly and courteous, checking in with us throughout the meal and making sure every dish was prepared and presented perfectly. His thoughtful explanations and attentive service made us feel very well taken care of. Kuga was also warm and welcoming, adding to the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. With thoughtfully prepared food and such genuine, high-quality service, Rang Mahal delivered a super memorable lunch. Highly recommend!

Man, this is some fancy Indian food. And so good. The entrees were amazing. Had the pokara and sliders. Those are must try. Everything was great. Oh, the raita was wierd. Wasn’t the raita I was expecting, other than that all good.

Love the atmosphere and Food!! And I must highlight the outstanding hospitality of Mr. Clinton, the restaurant manager. From the moment we stepped in, he made us feel genuinely welcomed and comfortable. Clinton has a remarkable way of connecting with guests, thoughtful with his recommendations, and making sure every little detail was taken care of. It’s rare to come across someone who balances efficiency with such genuine care, and he truly elevated our brunch to something special. The food at Rang Mahal was, as always, exceptional, but it was Mr. Clinton’s presence and service that made this visit memorable. He is truly an asset to the restaurant and a big reason why we will definitely be coming back :)

Visited a couple of times and hoped for the best from a Michelin-starred spot, but the experience fell short this visit. A persistent upsell to a 7-9 course lunch felt misaligned with the dining quality in the mid-range courses, and it ended up costing around $220 per person. I had guests with allergies that the server didn’t properly accommodate, despite flagging them multiple times. Service felt unprofessional and a bit dismissive. The room and concept show promise, but with the restaurant moving due to rent, there’s an opportunity to reset and elevate the basics: consistent pacing, accurate allergy handling, and transparent pricing. Hoping the move brings a chance to refine the experience to match the prestige on the plate.

I recently visited Rang Mahal at its new location in Naumi Hotel, after its move from Pan Pacific Hotel. The change in setting is quite refreshing—the new space has a more relaxing and comfortable atmosphere, compared to the formal fine-dining vibe at Pan Pacific. The food, however, remains just as good as ever. At the service crew’s recommendation, we tried the Calcutta Pani Puri as an appetizer. This iconic street snack, served with tamarind and refreshing mint water, was a delightful surprise for me as a non-Indian diner. The tandoori prawns were smoky, juicy, and succulent. We also enjoyed the naans which were soft and paired beautifully with the butter chicken and curry fish. Another dish that standout was the lamb biryani which came with caramelized onions and tender, flavorful meat.

⸻ A Culinary Gem at Pan Pacific – Rang Mahal Singapore Rang Mahal delivers an exceptional fine-dining experience that beautifully fuses tradition with modern sophistication. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and an ambience that sets the tone for an indulgent culinary journey. The menu is a masterful showcase of Indian cuisine—elevated, yet deeply rooted in authenticity. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted, with bold, aromatic flavors and top-tier presentation. The tandoori items are flawlessly cooked, the curries rich and refined, and the desserts offer a perfect sweet ending. What truly sets Rang Mahal apart is its attention to detail—not just in the food, but in service and atmosphere. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive, always ensuring a seamless dining experience. Whether you’re a connoisseur of Indian cuisine or simply seeking an unforgettable meal in Singapore, Rang Mahal at Pan Pacific is a must-visit. A perfect blend of elegance, flavor, and heart.

The restaurant, located inside the Pan Pacific hotel, is really beautiful- pretty plants with colorful lighting. And the staff is friendly and professional. It's definitely an upscale place with fancy table settings and lovely glassware. They have thoughtful touches that I love like a single bite amuse bouche and a fabulous little tamarind palette cleanser that was served between courses. But I just didn't love it. The menu has familiar Indian staples, palak paneer, biryani, garlic naan, dal makhani. The presentation is very nice, but the taste was honestly just ok. For the price and the setting, I was expecting to be blown away. OK option is you are staying at the hotel and are looking for a convenient option in a lovely dining room.

Lunch at Rang Mahal Beautiful restaurant. Nice ambience. Food is still good after all these years. My disappointment: no lamb's brain which I had as a child when they were at Imperial Oberoi Hotel. Amuse bouche - spinach kandavi roll with tamarind caviar Impossible Kheema Pao - Mumbai's Special minced masala "lamb" with buttered buns (made from plants) Limited time only Fish Allepy Curry Fresh fillets in lightly flavoured South Indian coconut curry Garlic Naan Kamasutra - passion fruit and plum blended with ice and ice cream soda Masala tea

Overpriced for what it is. This is one of the highest end Indian restaurants in a convenient Area of town for people who do not wish to Journey to little India. However for the price this place has some of the most average food that you will find. The presentation is awesome however the taste leaves much to be desired. For literally 1/20 of the price I found a place near my office that delivered amazing Indian food. I will not be back to this establishmet for dinner again. Have been here for the lunch buffet as well and that is a far better deal and worth going to.

Amazing service and food. They treated us like family . We had some individuals with dietary restrictions and they accomplished. Highly recommend

I probably am contradicting myself BIG TIME when I say this bc I love great hole-in-the-wall restaurants, but I am super picky when it comes to the establishments from which I get my share of delicious Indian cuisine. D and I love Indian food, but those curries in hawker centres or even the cheap $15 buffets seem very questionable. Perhaps its the sauce and spice-rich nature of Indian dishes that make me question whether a bug or two in an unsanitary kitchen haven't accidentally fallen and dissolved into its goodness. Sorry! that was disgusting. So here's Rang Mahal, an authentic, high-end Indian restaurant in Singapore that is delicious, clean, and superb in its service. On weekend lunch it becomes a buffet, at $50/person from 12pm-2pm, serving you a wide variety of Indian cuisine. The interior here is serene and simple, exactly as you would expect from a fine dining restaurant. I marked off one star for charging me $10 bucks for one glass of coke, without refills! I do not support such shady tactics to rip more money away from its (loyal, or soon to be loyal) customers. Other than that, I'm a fan.

Rang Mahal is an ultra modern yet classy Indian restaurant on the third floor of the Pan Pacific hotel. My girlfriend and I joined for a nice Sunday DINNER and were immediately taken away by the incredible ambiance from the moment we walked through the dramatic hallway entrance. We sat down and were again in awe over the high ceilings and Indian music subtly playing in the background, feels very zen-like. Service was quick and friendly, helped us out with recommendations. We ended up ordering: 1) Murgh Makhni - Their version of butter chicken which is very well done. 2) Prawns (don't remember what it was called) - I initially thought it was prawns cooked in the tandoor oven by itself which it is but also they add this sauce to it which tasted like I'm eating chinese food. The prawns were amazingly cooked and had great flavor but the sauce took a lot away for me. 3) Paneer Tikka - Their Indian cheese dish - extremely well done. Loved it. 4) Pani Puri - They had these Indian street food snack items as appetizers. Loved it!! 5) Plain naan and rice - fluffy naan and rice was great. We ordered just enough not to get overly stuffed. Then for dessert, we ordered: 1) Rasmalai - these cheese dumplings soaked in a milk type liquid. Indian staple dessert. It was ok. 2) Gulab Jaman - best described as cake balls soaked in a sugary type liquid. Another Indian staple dessert, this was well done. 3) Fig Kulfi - Indian ice cream with fig flavor. Surprisingly really good. The mango and sweet lassis both were pretty typical that you would find at any Indian restaurant. Always refreshing to get masala chai tea anywhere. The setting at this restaurant was on point and the food was very good. I would recommend this place over any other Indian restaurants in Singapore by far.

Excellent. The entrance is beautiful to the restaurant - very elegant. The service is good and unrushed, making for a very nice experience. Very tasty Indian food choices. Go.

Here for the lunch buffet. Great value. A very good assortment of foods with 3 protein and many vegetarian options. There is an appetizer station, mains selection and a great dessert bar. It was nice that not all desserts were Indian and there are French style desserts from the talented pastry chefs at Pan Pacific. The service is excellent. Very attentive. Some of the best in the city.

Successful tinkering with traditional Indian dishes. Most delish and the cooking is done with a light hand so you don't feel too bogged down after a meal. Love the pappadum basket with the various flavours - the black pepper one packs a sneaky heat and the one with fennel and cumin is very addictive. The quinoa is the best quinoa I've ever tasted. And the artichoke pakora is lovely despite the unexpected vegetable. The seafood is cooked a bit unevenly although the spicing levels are perfect. But it's a minor quibble. The service is a bit lacking for a restaurant of this caliber. There were quite a few waiters hustling around but it took effort to get them to come take our orders and to get their attention to pay the bill. And when my friend and I arrived, there was no one manning the podium out front. They need to brush up on that aspect of their restaurant. Great twist on familiar favourites. I'll be back to try the brunch buffet

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and classiest Indian dining rooms I have seen. Unfortunately, the food - while good - is not great. If Dum Pukht in Delhi is a 10, this would be s 6. In fact, even in Singapore, Punjab Grill at MBS or The Song of India by an alum of Rang Mahal are better! Extremely expensive at SGD110 Per PAC for lunch before alcohol.

Starter was a little cube of watermelon and a cube of coconut water soaked bread and a little shit of coconut water, tandoori chicken piece was tender, small shush kebab and a small vegetarian samosa, followed by a scoop of lemon sorbet. Main course was rice with small chicken tikka masala, fish curry, Dahl, rice and dried okra. Desert was a very sweet coffee ice cream. The place is nice, service is good, the food was good, but not amazing.

Expensive but pretty good food. Great vegetarian choices and huge wine list. All of the food was fantastic except the subtz which was a bit oily. Service was excellent and background music was suitable Indian origin. We would go back as it's in my TOP 5 Indian restaurants in Singapore.

there are few places that do indian fine dining... and even fewer that do it well. in my limited repertoire of indian fine dining places, rang mahal ranks very much at the top. judging by the loyal followers that have poured in after the panpac's location renovation - i guess quite a number of people agree. there is a lunch buffet that allows you to try an array of items. all still exquisitely done with the same attentive service. about $50 a pop? i am a huge truffle fan and was pleased to find truffle naan on the menu... truffle and carbs... a dream come true! must also highlight that they have a lovely private dining room for parties big enough (10 maybe? call and check) and a great outside patio area to chillax with a cuppa masala tea after you are done. vansh (at stadium walk, also under the rang mahal group) is actually my preference between the two. however i couldn't find vansh listed on yelp despite it having been around for about 6 years now? love.

Expensive and okay. Just not fantastic. Started with veggie samosas which were tasty. Had the palak paneer which had no taste. Also had the aloo gohbi which had a nice flavor . The naan was good as it should be.

My favorite Indian restaurant outside of India. Very authentic food. The ambiance is classy. A fine dining experience; one of the priciest Indian restaurants I have been to. Desert is great. I go there for the Sunday brunch. Make sure to make a reservation.
