Ammākase

Ammākase is a modern Indian restaurant on the fourth floor of One Raffles Place, in the heart of the business district. It follows the omakase idea from Japan: there is no menu to choose from, and the chefs decide what you eat. It opened in 2024 and calls itself the world's first Indian omakase.

The cooking draws on old recipes from India's coastal towns and from Sri Lanka, made with modern and French techniques. Chef Abhijit Saha, who ran the restaurant Saha in Singapore from 2014 to 2017, oversees the food. Executive chef Robin Vik, who once worked at Saint Pierre, leads the kitchen day to day.

Ammākase was listed in the MICHELIN Guide Singapore in 2025 and 2026. It also received a Tatler Best Spotlight award in 2026.

What to order

You do not order dish by dish. Instead, you choose how long the meal will be, from a short weekday business lunch to tasting menus of six to ten courses. The courses then arrive as a surprise and change with the seasons.

Seafood and duck are common threads. Past menus have included a pan-seared garam masala duck, grilled Pacific rock lobster and Goan-style cured hamachi. A Bengali chaat with crab and avocado has also appeared.

To drink, there are Indian-inspired cocktails, and the restaurant has offered wine and whisky pairings.

The setting

Designer Radhika Raj created a calm, white dining room. The main dining space features a mural by Singaporean artist Syafiq. The restaurant's emblem stands for the bond between a mother and her child.

• The main dining area seats about 20 guests.
• A chef's table for up to eight gives a close view of the cooking.
• Private dining rooms hold up to 24 guests for groups and events.
