Haji Syed Restaurant

Introduced a good many friends here. My Spanish friend & his parents loved the Murtabak here. I come here for the Teh Halia whenever I have a cold. The egg & cheese Roti Prata is great & so is their Ice Kopi. Their Nasi Campur has an inconsistent taste & is a tad bit greasy but their fresh stuff is great! It’s open 24 hours & the food is very very very affordable. The service staff looks a tad bit disoriented always but they’re well meaning guys if you manage to catch their attention to get you your food!

This is a review of lunch with a colleague at Syed Restaurant at Bedok Market.
I used a Google maps search plus some Unilocal research to select Syed for lunch.
The restaurant has a varied menu of Thai Muslim cuisine. Plus, they offfer varied other dishes However, some of this menu is reserved for dinner service.
The service was a tad haphazard but it gets the job done. This is more about getting your order taken and your food on the table than being cordial. Do not expect any chit-​chat or «how is your meal?».
Soon after we were seated, our order was taken. My food came out quickly. My colleague’s dish took a little longer but I do not think it was more than a bit over ten minutes. His second juice was also delayed.
As with nearby Enak and Spize, the outdoor seating is clean and well-​ventilated. It is basic but relatively comfortable.
The food was good.
First up, they also have the jumbo lime juice. Woo hoo! Lol, but jumbo was not even enough to quench my lime juice craving. I ended up ordering a second regular sized one also.
Jumbo Lime Juice
My colleage had their fresh squeezed orange juice. He must have liked it because he also ordered a second juice.
Roti John Keju Ayam — I thought this was very good. It was almost pastry like. Then there was the creaminess of the sauces. I ordered it just to try it but with just a tad of help, it was finished.
Kway Teow Goreng Chicken — This was my main. I thought it was very good. I ate every bite. The flavours came together well and every once in awhile I would hit a little bit of Thai chili padi. The noodles were cooked perfectly. The pieces of chicken were tender. It was definitely a freshly prepared dish. While not huge, the portion did make for a good lunch.
Mee Hoon Goreng Mutton — This was my colleague’s main. While I didn’t try it, the dish certainly looked delicious.
Receipt ($ 23.90) — If I hadn’t ordered an extra dish and we both had not ordered two juices, this would have easily been under $ 20 for the two of us.
Overall — I think the thing that would make this Syed Restaurant a repeat is the food and to try some of the other menu items. For outdoor (hawwker style) seating, the ambiance is nice, clean, and well-​ventilated. The service may not be perfect but it gets the job done. I thought it was a very good lunch.

If you are looking for authentic Indian Muslim food, then Syed Restaurant is the place. It is the first stall along the stretch of halal eating places, and is located right at the entrance of Shop n Save supermarket. Personally, I prefer the Roti Prata and Maggi Goreng at Syed as compared to the others down the row.
Their Roti Pratas are always served fresh and crispy, unlike some stalls that cook them beforehand and serve them cold. Crispy on the outside and warm on the inside, their prata is best taken with fish curry. They have chicken curry and mutton curry too, and they will serve it at your request.
Syed Restaurant serves a mean bandung too. I can never get the right taste from bandungs elsewhere, but the bandung here is neither too sweet nor too diluted. It is the perfect drink to take while you are eating prata too. Service is good, and the staff are warm and friendly, so it is a great supper place to go to.
