Pistachio Middle Eastern & Mediterranean Grill

Pistachio Middle Eastern & Mediterranean Grill is a restaurant in the Esplanade Mall annexe, on the Marina Bay waterfront. It serves Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food, from dips and grilled kebabs to pide and pasta. Its website gives 3 August 2026 as the opening date at Esplanade Mall.

Chef Khaled Elelmi leads the kitchen. He did Ayurvedic training at the Four Seasons Resort Maldives, and he aims to cook healthier versions of traditional dishes. The kitchen says it makes everything from scratch and uses no artificial colouring or premixes.

What to order

The menu runs from dips and starters to soups, salads, hot appetisers, chef's specials and mains. Spaghetti dishes are there for anyone who wants something more familiar. Dishes on the menu include:

• Dips such as hummus, baba ghannoush and mohamarra
• Pita bread, plain or with garlic and cheese
• Pistachio mix grill, plus shish taouk and adana kebab
• Falafel and fried calamari
• Black mussels with garlic cream and a lobster and crab bisque
• Lamb merguez pide, a baked flatbread with spiced lamb sausage

For dessert, there is kunefe, a cheese pastry, and Greek-style baklava. The drinks list covers white, red and rosé wines, champagne and beer. A sensible way to order is a few dips with pita, one grill platter and a dessert to share.

The setting

Pistachio is on the ground floor of the Esplanade Mall annexe, beside the Esplanade theatres. The restaurant describes its spot as a bayfront one, with views over Marina Bay. That makes it a handy choice before or after a show, or ahead of an evening walk along the water.
