We had a Diwali dinner with friends at Yarana recently. Food was awesome and service was amazing. We were served by Deepika and she was outstanding. She always had a smile on her face and recommended us good food options. Thanks to all the Yarana staffs for the lovely experience. Will surely visit again.

We came here for Diwali dinner and had a wonderful experience. Ranked in order: - The best part was undoubtedly the ambience, live music, decor and overall festive feel. It overshadowed everything - Food was very good but not the best we’ve had in SG - Service needs significant improvement. The staff lack tact and communication skills. Multiple mistakes were made in taking basic orders. If this can be improved, Yarana would be a solid 4.5+!

Came here for Diwali, a total vibe. Butter chicken was so smooth BTS sang about it. Tasted great too. Sashwati was a great help :)

We came for our team party, and we enjoyed a lot… Food is awesome and service even better.. Specially thanking Deepika and Vijay, for catering to our food requests and always being available for help. Thanks for also taking our numerous song request 😊 We had a great time eating, drinking and dancing☺️

We hosted a party at Yaarana's Restaurant Function room. It was a fantastic experience. The ambience was great. Food was excellent and Chef Priya Joseph took a personal interest in the guests needs. The service was very good and prompt. The preparation was well organized. Recommended highly.

E.

Staff went out of their way to accommodate despite it being their rest time. Great ambience and food that was exquisitely prepared. I will definitely return for the desserts on the menu. Felt like I was in Perth once again. The surrounding is so spacious and arid.

Yarana means friendship and indeed we feel like we are visiting a friend's home when we dine at Yarana Restaurant ❤ Chef Priya Joseph warmly welcomes us and serves us heartwarming flavors of traditional Indian food with delightful modern fusion twists 😋 We enjoyed a wonderful al fresco dinner at Yarana Restaurant: 🌟 'KANPUR' TO SINGAPORE LAMB CHOPS: We love the deliciously tender, smokey, well marinated lamb chops with Singapore style chili sauce for dipping😋 🌟 HABARNERO AND JACK CHICKEN TIKKA: These boneless tasty tender chunks of chicken marinated with cream and Jack cheese pack a fiery punch 😋 🌟 GOAN GAMBAS al AJILLO: Another Star dish is this Spanish delicacy with an Indian twist! We love the fresh succulent flavourful garlic shrimps infused in olive oil served with toast  😋 🌟 DAAB CHINGRI: We love the presentation of this dish in the coconut shell! We enjoy fragrant shrimps cooked in mustard coconut sauce rich with warm spices 😋 🌟 MYSORE MUTTON CURRY: We get lamb meat slow cooked in onion and tomatoes with South Indian spices and garnished with curry leaves and cashew nuts. A classic done right 😋 🌟 KASUNDHI MAKAI PALAK: We love the flavours and textures of fresh sweet corn kernels cooked in creamy spinach gravy with mustard sauce 😋 🌟 NAANS AND ROTI: We enjoy brown garlic and mozzarella naan with chilli flakes, classic garlic naan and Yarana's special Chur Chur Laccha which has crispy edges and a fluffy centre 😋 🌟 KESARI BRULE:  This French classic crème brulee is given a beautiful Indian twist with saffron, cardamom garnished with pistachio, almonds and dried rose petals 😋 🌟 RABRI MOUSSE WITH MOTICHUR LADOO This traditional Indian delicacy, Rabri, is transformed into a delightful mousse layered with motichoor ladoo 😋 Chef Priya Joseph prides herself on using the best quality ingredients to delight our palettes with the most delicious Indian fusion cuisine! She warmly interacts with all the customers while maintaining the highest standards in Yarana's kitchen! We love the food, the warm service and the lovely location of Yarana Restaurant at the waterfront of the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Had a great dinner alone here. Fish Mappae and Basmati steamed rice went well. The gravy was flavourful and went well with the rice. Staff Deepesh who served me was polite and even offered to advise on what goes well with the Fish Mappae as I wanted to choose Roti. Nice ambience and friendly staff.

Amazing experience. Be it food, hospitality, ambience and overall customer experience.. You plan your outings either with family, friends or client/partners, the expectation is leaving with moments to remember and taste to cherish. Have been to Singapore for long and particularly dining across all Indian restaurants but surprisingly, a good find.. Yarana.. near the Singapore stadium and with a waterfront.. Best ambience you could think of Authentic taste (masala, flavor and fragrance.. just awesome and true Indian) Friendly and humble services from the staff.. Kudos to the team Yarana for being able to run this successfully and carrying the authentic taste and experience. Loved the restaurant, food and services. Must visit ... go there without a doubt and relive Indian taste. P.S. - you can order, plan outdoor parties/get together and indoor experience... Recommended - Pani puri, chicken Tikka, chilly chicken, daal, paneer dishes, lamb chop, butter chicken.. and lot more..

Kesari brulee was a highlight!!! Nice place for dinner with friends. Scenic view of river, with cool evening breeze. Just be careful of mosquitoes if sitting outside.

s. p.

Recently visited yarana with few of our friends …. And was completely bowled over by the service , food and ambience . Located at kallang with beautiful sitting overlooking the river and bridge and some fantastic Indian music . With chit chat and sounds of laughter all around…. the place has beautiful vibes . Service is top notch and with personal attention to detail from the spice level to doneness of meat . Chef Priya Joseph makes sure each bite and each course takes you little by little to culinary heaven . Highly recommend trying khichda , Rabri mousse , keema pav, meat lovers platter and chilly chicken . Ample parking available for easy access . If you are wondering where to go this weekend .. try yarana and don’t forget to take few of your friends along , as this place is all about food , friendship and fun .

Finally an Indian alfresco restaurant with delicious Indian cuisine from various parts of India. Loved their Paneer Parantha, Chole Batura which are available on their very affordable brunch menu. Enjoyed their Daab Chingri which is beautifully presented in a coconut. Fragrant masala chai that isn't too sweet. Have got to come back to try more dishes

n. s.

Flew down from London to meet my brother in Singapore and had heard a lot about Yarana. Tried the Lamb Chop and by far the best and most delicious meal I have ever had. Hats off to chef Priya and her team for the amazing service.

A. M.

Definitely one of the more exceptional Indian meals I've had in Singapore. The kebabs and lamb chops were moist and cooked perfectly. The malai chicken frankie simple in idea but elevated by an egg fried on the inside of the roti. The chicken cheddar naan hit the spot for our young one. The daal makhani flavourful in an under stated way. And the daab chingri hit the authentic notes for someone who grew up in Bengal can vouch for. Overall a really great meal. But the tour de force was the khichda. Something we wouldn't have ordered had it not been recommended. And I would totally suggest you try it. A large bowl of gruel like rice, lentils and meat. Really just good food executed superbly!

T. G.

I really love the live music here. The food was good and inventive too! Especially the desserts, we loved the creativity that went into the rabri mousse with motichoor . The veggie platter didn’t cook well enough. Felt the dough in my mouth. This place is best for their desserts, Naan, chai and chaat.

If you're in search of an extraordinary dining experience, look no further than Yarana, nestled in the vibrant Indoor Stadium of Singapore. From the moment you step in, you're greeted by a warm and inviting ambiance that sets the tone for a memorable meal. The service here is nothing short of impeccable, with special mention to Aniket and Jaspal, who made our visit truly delightful. Their attention to detail, warm hospitality, and deep knowledge of the menu elevated our dining experience. Yarana’s dog-friendly policy was a delightful surprise, making it an excellent spot for pet owners who want to enjoy a good meal without leaving their furry friends at home. The culinary journey began with the Chicken Biryani, a dish that was perfectly spiced, fragrant, and tender. The Lamb Skewers were another highlight, cooked to perfection with a rich, smoky flavor that lingered on the palate. The Fish Mappas was a delightful blend of flavors, with the fish cooked just right, enveloped in a creamy coconut-based curry that was both comforting and flavorful. The Daab Chingri, a classic Bengali dish, was an absolute pleasure! Dessert was an indulgent affair with the Kesari Brûlée and the Rabri Mousse with Motichoor Laddoo. The Kesari Brûlée offered a unique twist on the classic dessert, with a saffron-infused custard that was smooth, creamy, and perfectly caramelized. The latter was a brilliant fusion of traditional and modern, combining the rich, sweet flavors of Motichoor Laddoo with the creamy Mousse. In all, Yarana is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy great food, a wonderful ambiance, and top-notch service in Singapore. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this place will leave you with a lasting impression.

We celebrated my mother's 70th birthday with her friends at Yarana. The team (Virat, Jassi, Divya, and the rest of the team) were incredibly accommodating and approachable throughout the entire event. They were always available to fulfill every request made by our guests, never hesitating even when asked multiple times. The food was exceptional (special thanks to Chef Priya) and received many compliments for its quality and presentation! The atmosphere created by Zubair and Yarana was splendid - picture 70+ "aunties" rocking the dance floor ❤️ You made this milestone birthday incredibly special, and we are truly grateful for making it happen. We look forward to returning for a quieter family meal to try the other delicious dishes on your menu!

nice stuff, chicken is evenly spiced garlic prawns in olive oil was nice helpings are a little small for the prices charged - but that's the sad state of Singapore rental markup good engaged service.....

D. M.

Recently I played lunch for bunch of friends and it turn out to be awesome. Their set meal is well priced and the food taste is not compromised at all. The quality and service was class apart. I will strongly recommend this place and don't miss out on Sharabi laado and set meal lunch. They have awesome brunch too

F. n. R.

This place totally blows our minds! Butter chicken has rich layers of taste than any other places we’ve been in Singapore; even palak paneer has a magic that you cannot stop. Cage free Afghan chicken was awesome. Service wise, customers still were ‘classified’ by their senior waiter but their junior waitress was really helpful and nice. Price is at the high end - ambience doesn’t worth it but the food defo is worth coming back for.

P. V.

I had a fabulous time at Yarana. Perfect ambience to celebrate any occasion. The staff were very accommodating and food was served in timely manner. Food was absolutely delicious and service was impeccable. Highly recommend Yarana to all.

E. E.

We loved the food and the service was amazing .. the best place to be in Singapore for Indian food .. this place is home always from home .. 👌

Indian restaurant with fabulous ambience and outdoor seating.. lake view seats are also available. Night time you can capture some good pictures.

YARANA is an absolute gem! The authentic flavors and vibrant ambiance truly make it stand out. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, each bursting with rich, traditional spices. I highly recommend the butter chicken and butter naan - they were simply divine! Whether you’re a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, YARANA is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back!

H. Y.

Authentic North Indian cuisine. Amazing service by Divya and colleagues. A must visit.

Disappointing Experience at Yarana I had high hopes for Yarana based on recommendations from friends and positive reviews. Unfortunately, my recent visit fell far short of expectations. The service was a major letdown. We struggled to get the waitstaff's attention, and after placing our order, there were significant delays. The curries arrived after 45 minutes, but incredibly, the rotis took another 30 minutes despite repeated requests. While the food itself was decent, the long wait times and inattentive service turned the experience sour. The overall impression did not match Yarana's claims of being a fine dining establishment. The lack of experience among the waitstaff was evident, and their seeming indifference to our needs was frustrating. Even basic tasks like clearing plates and cleaning the table were neglected. Overall, my visit to Yarana was a disappointment. The food was average, and the service significantly detracted from the dining experience.

v. m.

We loved the ambience and food In Yarana 😍. We felt very relaxed after a long time. Service was also good, they cared about our experience so they keep checking us about our opinion. We felt late one of our order took merely 30mins, we could understand because it's was house full . They tried to serve for everyone. So we put up in situation to cancel our order . Other than the minor issues definitely I recommend all couples for this place . You might enjoy the place 😃 go and have fun !

Your singapore trip will not complete without going to this restaurant. This is my best visit. Special thanks to the entire team.

Turning 50 is a milestone, and I wanted to celebrate it in style. Thankfully, Yarana made it an unforgettable experience. From the very first interaction with Sanjay, the owner, I knew I was in good hands. He was incredibly accommodating and helped me plan the event. Chef Priya Joseph created a menu that catered perfectly to all my guests' tastes. The ambience was perfect, with warm lighting and tasteful decor. The staff, under Chef Priya Joseph's watchful eye, were exceptional. They were attentive, friendly, and ensured everything ran smoothly. The food was the star of the show, with Chef Priya Joseph's creations being a masterpiece. The flavors were incredible, the presentation stunning. Yarana truly made my 50th birthday a night to remember. I highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion. Thank you, Sanjay, Chef Priya, and the entire Yarana team!

Great service. Awesome food. Best dal makhni in town!

Food was really good and nice for the price point. Service staff was abit lacking in response, but it's likely due to their down time

R. P.

The ambience by the bridge and the water area was amazing. The food was was terrific. Butter chicken and lamb chops were just awesome. A home away from home. 😊

I have had dinner at Yarana twice, once for a family event, the other time as a professional celebration when our team completed a major project. Both times the food was sbsolutely DELICIOUS!! The first meal showed the creativity of the chef, with a modern & refined interpretation of typical indian dishes. The food was light and inventive and was... delicious! The second event, with a group of 17 people, included a large variety of classical favorites brimming with the rich flavors everyone loves in genuine Indian cuisine, and it was... delicious!! The service was excellent too, fast and very courteous, and the Chef oversaw that our group received the attention we needed to have a very pleasant event. They also carefully accomodated the diverse food requirements of our group, such as vegetarian and other food restrictions. I will definitely return with both family and friends, for celebrations or just relaxed whenever we are in the mood for a very tasty meal!

R. P.

Awesome food.!! Aweso.e service!! Jessica served us.. and she was very friendly too!!

K. S.

Quite expensive and less quantity compare to prices but ambiance was very nice and food as well

h. r.

One of the best places in SG to try out Indian Food with a twist, nice ambience and awesome service, Chef Priya has suggested us some of the best dishes to try out and it was way better than our expectation.

E. A.

Yarana is an excellent spot by the water to relax and enjoy some truly delicious food. Their version of palak paneer is one of my favourites in Singapore. The pani puri shots pack a nice punch and spice up any event. Enjoy!

S. G.

Food & service was great! Deepika took great care of everything.

Found this place while looking for Brewerkz, which has closed. Great service and very tasty food.

E. F.

I loved the food and Jessica was a great a nice waitress!!

p. a.

Yarana lived its name and made an evening with friends absolutely amazing. We ordered veg kebab platter, chaat platter and mains and everything was better than previous dish. The music and vibe was great but to me winning piece was the service - very warm and customer centric. Loved every bit!

S. K.

Had my post ROM lunch there! The staff and manager was very accommodating, super friendly and very professional! They did a good job in ensuring the flow of food and checking if we needed anything. The food was excellent. Really had a tasty lunch! Uncompromising on the taste and portion! Overall a very good experience indeed!

Made a reservation of 6 with a 15 month old child this afternoon and was warmly greeted by Deepesh when we arrived. The food recommendation by Deepesh were great and we loved them. #130 (garlic shrimps), #110 (lamb steak), #114 (boneless chicken) and many more are awesome. Not forgetting Shivani's beautiful smile and her constant ensuring we are well taken care of. Thanks you Deepesh and Shivani for this great experience this afternoon. 🙏🏻

Nice food..simple ambiance, little pricey...good place to enjoy nice dinner with family...

S. R.

Me and my friends went there for first time on last Saturday. The ambience was lovely and we enjoyed our time there. One of the best evening of our life we spent in Singapore. Staff was friendly and service was amazing.. served by the guys named ashish and Chetan. Although restaurant was busy but served nicely. Manager was nice guy very keen to solve the issues. The disappointing thing was that the chicken was chewy and the lady chef showed a little attitude. You should put some efforts for improving the quality. 3 stars for the service and ambience.

K. N.

The dahl and paneer dishes were simply amazing, and the friendly service provided by the staff was commendable. Also, the personal greeting from the chef was a pleasant surprise that made our experience even more memorable. I would definitely recommend Yarana Indian Restaurant to anyone who is visiting Singapore.

S. S.

Very nice service, big shout out to Jessica Enjoy alot Thank you

N. G.

Highly recommend Yarana - as the name suggests - a place to enjoy with friends! The outdoor seating is brilliant! The food is quite amazing both in taste and quality! Several really good dishes and some cool fusion dishes which are so authentic to the Indian taste buds and yet very international! Even enjoyed home delivery and the food was great again! One of the best Indian restaurants in Singapore!

Place is easy to find near Stadium MRT. Being a vegiterian I was a bit conservative about qualityof food. However I was surprised. 1. We had Veg lolipop, chat and paneer tikka in starter, 2. Dal and veg pulao for main course. 3. Drinks fruit punch and virgin mohito and fresh lime soda. 4. Desserts - rabdi motichoor and pannacota. Our server Kashish was really good, I didnt catch name of other girl, she was good too..Food is good, quantity can be better. Desserts are good, service was at good pace. Clean and enjoy ambiance . What is not good: Lime soda was literlly flavoured soda with piece of lime in it. I know becoz that was the guy at Bar Empited can of soda in glass and sent to the table. I was sitting across bar counter. Dont do such things they are put offs. Their AC is not working (under repair etc) so that is turn off but they do have some air coolers. Also, I another annoying thing was constant chatter behind bar counter.. if you want to chitchat like how we do in India rowdy boys on street corner. As personal opinion I did not like it. Anyway its upto the owner to see if he/she sees this a problem.

C. S. M.

Fantastic crew! Great ambience and good music, good food and most importantly great service from hospitable staffs :) thank u for hosting us mr sanjay:)

If you're looking for a dining experience like no other, look no further than the restaurant by the river in Singapore! This place offers some of the best food I have ever had the pleasure of tasting, and the view of the river is just breathtaking. The lamb chops here are nothing short of divine. They are perfectly cooked, with a crisp exterior and a juicy, tender interior that simply melts in your mouth. The seasoning is spot on and really brings out the flavors of the meat. If you're a fan of lamb, these chops are a must-try. Another standout dish here is the daab chingri, a traditional Bengali dish made with prawns and coconut. The delicate flavors and textures of this dish are just incredible, and the balance of sweet, savory, and spicy elements is truly impeccable. And let's not forget about the deserts! They are just as amazing as the main dishes, if not more so. Every single one of them is beautifully presented, and they taste as good as they look. Whether you're in the mood for something sweet, creamy, or fruity, there's a dessert here that will suit your cravings perfectly. In conclusion, if you're looking for a dining experience that combines delicious food, beautiful views, and a fantastic atmosphere, the restaurant by the river in Singapore is the place to be. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this place will not disappoint.

We love Yarana! The food is phenomenal, and the service is excellent. The staff are always so accommodating and lovely to be around and always seem to know what you need before you ask for it. The menu is so well planned and executed and is a credit to the very very talented chef. The ambience of being there at night, with the lights and by the river is also so magical. Truly will recommend this place to anyone looking for a great night out!

A. S.

Fabulous food. Priya was super helpful in helping with the menu. The combo was super - loved all the meats and different hit of taste for each one which was super. The L Chops stood out the most for everyone.. succulent and full of flavour. Greatly recommend trying their non veg platter combo. The portions are generous.

A. D. P.

Someone introduced to me to this indian restaurant and I'm very happy about it. Very nice place, away from streets, cars, smog. Super friendly staff and best butter chicken ever!!! highly recommended.

N. K.

Great location by the river, awesome Indian food with great service by Dipesh! Loved the personal recommendations by Chef Priya!

S. S.

The food taste is nice but the ambience and aura feels like a hawker center (noisy). The staff is rude and didn't even let us complete our order and left halfway. We can hear the noise of the kitchen staff shouting and their own conversation. Better to take away from here as the taste is nice

g. s.

We organized an office party for 50 ppl and had one of the most amazing experience . Everything about the evening was great - Delicious Food , Drinks, Decor and above all service. Big shout out to the manager - Armaan and his team for doing a phenomenal job. Sanjay (owner) personally came and ensured that things were in order and guests were looked after. The DJ enclosure was perfect to end the evening on a high with some fun music. This place is a little Gem and Highly recommended.

G. K.

Really nice place to be with friends and family. Outdoor sitting is well spaced and nicely decored. Food brings you back to Indian authentic flavours. Personal touch from serving staff and owner is comforting. Hope it maintains it service and quality standard in future as well. Would love to revisit soon.

N. Y.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Singapore. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal. The Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. I never hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Singapore. Highly recommend the Mysore mutton curry and chicken tikka butter masala!

S. S.

Honestly, this is the best Indian restaurant in Singapore so far. Excellent service and food. You feel at home with the ambiance, music, people and the food. Definately at the top of my list. Loved every bite!

A. A.

Visited yarana with my buddies for a few beers over the weekend! The platters were a huge hit. Must try the tikkas. For mains we completed relied on the suggestions by chef Priya. Dal makhani, butter chicken, fish mappas & chur chur Naan was a perfect way to end our getaway. I highly recommend this place for Indian fusion craving. Great ambience, awesome food and good service!

N. S.

One of my favourite restaurant in singapore now. Great authentic Indian food. Lovely drinks and desserts. Best thing is that you can sit outdoors on good weather day. Prefer to go in evenings and book your tables in advance. My favourite dish is seekh kebab and pana Kota. Thukpa was also great.

S. D.

Nice food and ambience. Good service from staff Shivani. Music was relaxing❤️

N. D.

Beautiful ambience, superb and Authentic Indian food. Enjoyed Dal Makhani, Paneer and Chur Chur Naan..best Indian Restaurant around Tanjong Rhu👍
