Ambience
We like the open concept kitchen where you can actually watch the chefs busy at work preparing all the food. Gives us the feeling that everything is freshly cooked. Although at times, you will get smoke wafting out and getting into your clothes and hair.
Staff
Very friendly staff, always smiling, always willing to help out with the smallest request.
Our Fave Recommendations
- Muthu's Signature Curry FishHead (from $20). Tender, fleshy morsels of fish swimming in a flavourful curry that is not too spicy.
- Briyani rice ($3 per person) or Naan (from $3 per piece) go very well with the curry. Wash your hands and eat with your fingers for maximum taste sensations. Finger licking good!
- Fish & Potato Cutlet ($4, two pieces) nice texture and delicious. Use it to sop up the curry
- Chennai Cabbage ($5) cos we like a little crunchy vegetables in our meal
- Chicken 65 ($9) mildly spicy marinated chicken pieces which complement the fish dishes
- Lime juice ($3.50) tends to be very sweet, ask for more iced water to dilute
A bit pricey, so we only eat at Muthu's during special occasions.

Muthu's curry had its roots in Singapore in 1969 before slowly building a reputation through the creative mind of their founder, Mr Ayyakkannu, who in time, developed a recipe for its fish head curry which brought the restaurant its fame. In fact, even to date, the restaurant is still well known for its fish head curry which i unfortunately, did not get to try.
For starters, i'm actually not a spice eater. I like mild chili but nothing quite like the sort our Indian compatroits are used to. The next thing to know is that i was there for a small wedding reception so the food i got was mostly from the buffet counter as you can see above.
Despite all these i've said, the food here is pretty darn good. Maybe i'm too loaded with spice and burning lips to realise but the fact is, i found the buffet spread and the curry here top notch. Especially the mutton, chicken and beef curry, generous pieces of lean and fatty meat in thick, spicy curry. Each with its own merit, this is not the usual coconut heavy or packaged curry you find everywhere else and it goes really well with everything else you can throw on your plate. Be it crackers, rice, salads and what not.
I had seconds for this even though i was perspiring passionately due to the spice and i really don't do that too often.
Overall Score: 7/10
Last word:
What can i say? Authentic, good new and old fashioned curry in an equally authentic Indian setting within Little India in Singapore. It doesn't get any more realistic then this. Mind the spice though, you might not be able to take it but you sure will enjoy burning your lips off. I did.
