Our take: Putra Minang Restaurant Bencoolen offers authentic Padang cuisine, served cafeteria-style.

We'd focus on their rendangs and curries, with the mutton rendang often praised over the beef for its texture, though the beef rendang is lauded by some as the best in Singapore.

The ayam gulai and gulai sayur sawi (collard greens in lemongrass-turmeric gravy) are also highlighted as strong choices.

Their sambal belado and Cabe ijo are recommended for those who enjoy spice.

However, consistency can be an issue, particularly with the sate padang, which some reviewers found to have tough meat and thin gravy.

Dining during off-peak hours, especially dinner, might result in cold and dry dishes that have been sitting out since lunch.

We recommend visiting during peak lunch hours for the freshest selection, or calling ahead for reservations if dining in a group.

It's a reliable spot for a taste of Padang, but manage expectations for items not served fresh.

What customers say

Putra Minang Restaurant Bencoolen is praised for its authentic Padang cuisine, particularly the beef rendang and ayam gulai, served cafeteria-style by warm staff.

While many find the food fresh and flavorful with ample servings, some customers report significant inconsistency in dish quality, especially with sate padang where meat can be tough and gravy thin.

There are also concerns about food being cold and dry, suggesting items are left out too long, particularly during off-peak hours.

Authentic Padang food (not Malay style) Their beef rendang is the best in SG hands-down, it's spicy, fragrant, and umami. Always ask for extra rendang gravy on your rice. They used to have several br…
