Thevar Singapore

Thevar sits on Mohamed Sultan Road, holding two stars in the Michelin Guide. The room runs smart, providing a formal environment that distinguishes itself from the casual food stalls and quick-turnover spots typical of the surrounding area.

The kitchen blends South East Asian and Indian flavors, a combination that earns it a place as number 71 on the 2024 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list. While many restaurants in the city lean heavily into traditional preparations, this menu thrives on a fusion approach that feels more precise than the typical neighborhood curry house. It is a twenty-minute walk from the National Museum of Singapore, making it a better choice for a dedicated evening meal than the crowded, tourist-heavy venues closer to the main thoroughfares. You come here for the execution of the spice profiles, which command a level of attention that the faster, more frantic dining options nearby simply ignore.
