Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Al Makan, a long-standing establishment in Tampines, appears to be experiencing significant inconsistencies in both food quality and service.

While some patrons praise dishes like nasi goreng, naan, and butter chicken, others report a noticeable decline, with dishes being overly salty, bland, or poorly executed.

The Mee Hailam, for instance, is described as having an unappetizingly thick and starchy gravy.

There are also specific concerns regarding the Mee Goreng Seafood Thai, which, despite its $9.00 price tag, is criticised for lacking authentic Thai flavours and containing minimal seafood.

Service is another area of concern, with multiple reviews citing inattentive or rude staff, and a general lack of product knowledge.

While some staff are friendly, others are perceived as dismissive, even when customers raise legitimate concerns about their orders.

We think Al Makan needs to address these issues to regain its former reputation.

It's a reliable everyday option for some, but the current inconsistencies make it a risky choice for a destination meal.

What customers say

Customer sentiment for Al Makan is mixed, with many long-time patrons noting a significant decline in food quality and consistency, particularly for dishes like Mee Hailam (described as gooey and starchy) and Mee Goreng Seafood Thai (lacking authentic Thai flavors and bland).

While some dishes like nasi goreng, naan, and butter chicken are still praised, issues with overly salty food, small portions, and poor presentation are recurring.

Service quality is also a major concern, with multiple reports of rude, inattentive, or dismissive staff, though some friendly staff are acknowledged.

Operational inconsistencies, such as closing tables before stated last order times, also contribute to negative experiences.
