Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Syed Restaurant Family in Hougang presents a mixed bag of experiences.

While some diners praise the friendly service, there are significant concerns regarding food quality and hygiene.

The Biryani Rice with Fried Chicken consistently receives high marks, with reviewers noting the quality basmati rice and the tender, crispy fried chicken.

This dish is highlighted for its balanced flavor and lack of an overpowering spice profile, making it a reliable choice for biryani enthusiasts.

However, other items like the Teh'O Limau Ice at $2.20 are deemed overpriced, and the egg prata is described as 'sad looking' and 'over spiced,' or even 'cold, oily and hard.' More alarmingly, there are reports of rats and a pigeon with tied legs, raising serious questions about the restaurant's cleanliness.

We'd recommend Syed Restaurant Family specifically for its Biryani Rice with Fried Chicken during weekday lunch, but advise caution regarding other menu items and the reported hygiene issues.

What customers say

Syed Restaurant Family in Hougang receives mixed feedback, with consistent praise for its Biryani Rice with Fried Chicken, noted for its quality basmati rice and tender, crispy chicken.

However, other dishes like Teh'O Limau Ice are deemed overpriced, and the prata is often criticised for being cold, oily, and pre-made.

Significant concerns about hygiene, including sightings of rats, and inconsistent dish preparation, such as mixed-style Mee Goreng, detract from the overall experience, despite generally friendly staff.

Teh'O Limau Ice @ $2.20 is ridiculously expensive, and the egg Prata was sad looking with the curry being over spiced (too much rempah). Friendly service crew saved the rating from being a 1.
