Yantra is a stunning oasis hidden in the corner of a busy and often crowded mall. Go past the entrance and down the dimly-lit hallway to be transported into a South Asian fantasy, where food and service lull diners into a delightful state of deep satisfaction. The interiors are luxurious and warm, with two distinct dining rooms to choose between, depending on your mood. The menu here is not overly long but is well-curated by culinary historian Pritha Sen and executive chef Pinaki Ray. This may just be the best Indian food in Singapore. Dishes you thought you knew—think chaat, butter chicken and tandoor meats—are fresher, lighter, more delicate and simply more refined here. The service team is friendly and knowledgeable, with a penchant for guiding patrons into planning the perfect meal.
