10 Best Makan Places in Bukit Timah (Check Out The Al Azhar Menu & You’ll Run Here Immediately)

Last Updated on 2020-02-17 , 7:09 pm

Okay, I think it’s an open fact that the people living in Bukit Timah are pretty well to do since the prices of their property are soaring high. But hey, this doesn’t mean that their food prices are equally expensive. When friends ask me what’s good at Bukit Timah, my mind will immediately drift to either Bukit Timah Food Centre or the Al-Azhar menu – the latter is one of the best spots for supper, btw.

If you are one who is always fretting about what to eat around the area or have no reason to visit that estate, we will show you why it’s worth travelling down.

1. Al-Azhar

Al-Azhar clearly needs no introduction. The popular Indian-Muslim eatery along Bukit Timah has garnered a strong following over the years, and the best part? It’s open 24 hours. With over 100 dishes on the Al-Azhar menu of various cuisines – Western, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Zi Char – there’s bound to be something for everyone. And while you are there, we highly recommend you to try their Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan.

So take a look and let us know what you think about the Al-Azhar menu!
