Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Zaitun Restaurant, located opposite McDonald's behind Serangoon Central, earns consistent praise for its food quality, particularly the Mutton Biryani, which is described as having plentiful, tender meat.

The Cheese Egg Prata is also a popular choice, noted for being cheesy and soft.

We observe that the prata portions are notably larger than average, with some diners struggling to finish their usual order.

While the food is generally well-regarded for its taste and reasonable prices, several accounts highlight significant wait times, especially for prata and drinks, even when the restaurant isn't busy.

Service, though attentive and friendly according to some, can be inefficient during peak periods or when large takeaway orders are being processed.

Despite these operational hiccups, the quality and 'old school' taste of the food, including the crispy yet doughy prata and flavourful curry, often make up for the wait.

We think it's a reliable spot for a satisfying meal, particularly for supper or after a workout, but be prepared for potential delays.

What customers say

Zaitun Restaurant is highly praised for its authentic and consistently good Indian food, particularly the Mutton Biryani and large, crispy-yet-doughy Prata, which many consider excellent value.

While the quality and taste of the food often compensate, recurring issues include long wait times for orders, even during non-peak hours, and occasional service inefficiency.

Customers appreciate the friendly staff and good hygiene standards.
