  I like chutney Mary's. tucked away near Siglap centre, it offers good food at reasonable prices. I really like the place

  Satisfying

  An impromptu meal in the neighborhood and we were pleasantly surprised. The Marsala Dosa and chutneys were fab as was the boneless mutton (bhuna gosht). Great service too!

  OCC review of Chutney Mary November 2020

  On 19th November 2020 the OCC SGP Branch visited Chutney Mary, East Coast Road
  
  Primarily chosen for the fact that CM opens early and allows the OCC to frequent over 2 sittings to maintain social distancing. CM has the look and feel of a canteen with plastic seating and bright lights, but does offer a variety of chats which the OCC were excited to try.
  
  For full transparency, see below scores (out of 10). Restaurants must score an average of 7/10 or above to receive the OCC sticker of recommendation.
  
  Customer care: 6.75
  Value: 7.15
  Service: 6.72
  Atmosphere: 4.7
  
  Overall: 6.31
  
  Chutney Mary IS NOT awarded the much-coveted OCC sticker of recommendation
  
  Per the scores the quality of the food and service was somewhat lacking. This could be excused if you were looking for a ‘fast food’ type experience…and you might well expect as much based on the strip lighting and plastic chair vibes reminiscent of a late 80s kids party at Wimpy. However, for food to be considered ‘fast’ it needs to be…well…fast. This was not the case particularly and this left the OCC feeling like we were compromising on service and quality and atmosphere. It is also worth noting that CM was very quiet on the evening we visited, despite being situated between a number of busy bars and restaurants. One member commented “I Think 5 other curry houses in Siglap would have to close before I would go back.”
  
  In general, members seemed to enjoy the lamb curry as well as the quite flavorful chats which were somewhat of a novelty as we haven’t come across these in other restaurants. Other than that, the curries were forgettable.
  
  Beer was fairly cheap at S$23 for a bucket of kingfishers and main dishes averaged around S$12 each. Quite well priced but not enough to save the experience all things considered

  Loved the service and food

  The service was good and not intrusive while we were eating. The food prep took awhile (expected given that it was lunchtime on Sunday) and the waiter kept us in the loop which was nice.

  Yummy Indian food

  Tucked away in a small strip mall next to other restaurants and shops on East Coast Road. Clean and basic decor and seating. Do not let this fool you, The service is fantastic and the food spot on. Highly recommend the Dahi papri Chaat, Tandoori chicken, Murgh Tikka, Chaana Bhattura and the Naans/Parathas were good. The only part that fell short for me was the deserts - Kulfi and Gulab Jamuns can be avoided. The Rice Kheer was excellent and the Rabri was good. They also had a Amritsar Food festival menu, which looked really good. The food is a tad spicy, so you will need to order yogurt with the meal. If you have kids like mine who don's handle spices - the cheese naan sufficed. Will definitely be back to sample the other dishes - samosa chaat, Kulcha, Saag (spinach)...
