Quick answer: This directory covers five Indian restaurants in Singapore: Rang Mahal (fine dining, Pan Pacific, since 1971), YANTRA (fine dining, Tanglin Mall), Kailash Parbat (North Indian brand est. 1952, Little India), The Mangotree (South/North Indian, Katong, since 2001), and Komala Vilas (vegetarian heritage brand, Little India, since 1947).
