Rang Mahal - Fine Dining Indian Restaurant

28 Best Restaurants in Singapore | Condé Nast Traveler

"Much like the decor, the food at Rang Mahal combines Western ingredients with Indian spices and cooking methods to yield elegant, complex creations like smoky tandoori portobello mushrooms with a sprinkling a chat masala and cheddar. The food is light yet exceedingly flavorful—you'll be satisfied without being stuffed. The $58 lunch buffet is a great way to sample a wide swath of the menu without breaking the bank." - Annette Tan

First Look: Five Dishes To Try From Rang Mahal's New Menu

"Rang Mahal is one of the stalwart Indian fine-dining restaurants that has a storied past. Started in 1971, the establishment is one of the oldest North Indian restaurants in Singapore that started at the now-defunct Oberoi Imperial Hotel in Jalan Rumbia. Now 47 years old, and having settled in its elegant 110-seat space in Pan Pacific Singapore over the past 16 years, Rang Mahal is showing no signs of slowing down. The restaurant could have stuck to what has kept the restaurant going for decades: traditional North and South Indian dishes. However, the restaurant ventures out of its comfort zone with its latest menu overhaul last month with new dishes making up 80 percent of the food line-up. The revamp is the brainchild of Rang Mahal’s new corporate chef, Milind Sovani, who returns to the restaurant group after more than a decade. Rang Mahal's corporate chef, Milind Sovani, introduces new dishes to the MICHELIN Guide Singapore. Rang Mahal's new menu is a culmination of chef Milind’s travel experiences around India to collect ideas and inspiration over the past five years. The chef also runs two April’s Rain restaurants in Pune, India. It is no surprise that elements of street food and regional dishes from more Indian cities including Kerala, Mumbai and Tamil Nadu make their way onto the new menu. Ayurvedic herbs, which is an integral part of India’s food culture, are also used in dishes. Chef Milind says that he has also designed dishes that are more communal and require some hands-on action as a growing number of diners are inspired by the slew of reality cooking shows and are itching for some kitchen action. We preview some of Rang Mahal's new dishes." - Kenneth Goh

Rang Mahal is definitely one of the finest and the oldest North Indian restaurants in Singapore. We went for the set menu which had 7+ courses. It was quite filling overall with a variety of dishes. We tried one vegetarian and one non-vegetarian set menu each. The service was impeccable. Our server Vinodh (Hope I’m remembering the name correctly) was very friendly and helpful. He took care of us and was constantly checking on us that everything was alright. The ambiance of Rang Mahal is very upscale and it’s a great place to celebrate some of the life events, such as a birthday or an anniversary or something. We celebrated the birthday and they offered the cake on the house which was highly appreciated. A highly recommended restaurant for the Indian food in Singapore.

Perfect for a special celebration! We visited Rang Mahal for Christmas Day dinner while celebrating my parents' anniversary during our Singapore trip. The restaurant's elegant atmosphere with high ceilings creates a luxurious feel without the premium price tag. They were wonderfully attentive to the booking notes about our celebration and dietary requirements. The extensive vegetarian and vegan menu made it ideal for my parents, while I could still enjoy chicken dishes - all equally delicious. The kitchen was impressively efficient, with prompt service that didn't compromise quality. Clinton was exceptional. Having read our booking notes, he made sure everything was perfectly arranged and even surprised my parents with a complimentary vegan chocolate slice for their anniversary. This thoughtful gesture made our evening even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a versatile dining spot that caters wonderfully to mixed dietary preferences, especially vegetarian and vegan diners. The combination of ambiance, service, and food quality makes this place a standout in Singapore.

Elegant decor and nicely spaced out tables. Service was friendly. Pani Puri is beautifully presented and the best I've ever tasted. Prawn curry goes well with the slightly warm naan. Briyani is also delicious, taste not too overpowered by spices. Only downside is that prices aren't really cheap and together with alcohol can cost quite abit, but overall still a much delightful experience and would return anytime I want nice Indian cuisine.

We had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely excellent, the ambiance was delightful, and the service was top-notch. A special shoutout to Vinodh and Prashanth, who went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. Their attentiveness and warm hospitality truly enhanced our dining experience!

The food and the restaurant atmosphere were great. The service was kind. It is a pity for such a nice restaurant that it took 1hour from the time we ordered until our food was served, even though the place was not full. Unfortunately all the other tables around us were served their food and eating, and that made things even worse. The cocktails we ordered (Singapore sling and a mojito) were delicious. After the first 50min of waiting we were informed that our food will be with us soon. When the food arrived we were already a bit tipsy so the food tasted delicious.

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.

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.

Majeed F.

Yelp

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.

Sandy E.

Yelp

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.
