Vegitarian …Food is too yummy.. idli.. dosa is wow and filter Cofee is too nice

Legit place for South Indian dish.thosai (dosa) and Idli. Vegetarian sauces (chutneys and sambar) soo good.

Delicious, soft idlies and smooth chutney.The idlies served here are soft, fluffy, and light. The sambhar was delicious as well as the dosas. They refill your plate with various chutneys right away. The ghee dosa is soft, crispy, oozing with delicious buttery ghee. The onion uttapam is soft and fresh.Overall, a good place just a little expensive.

Situated in the heart of Little India in Sinagapore (#76, Syed Alwi Road) this place takes you to India! With a perfectly curated menu which offers what someone would call limited items the menu has what you will need to walk out feeling happy, full and content for what is a fairly cheap meal in Singapore! Be sure to avoid peak times as the queues are massive but its a place to go for the crispiest dosa on the Red Dot!

After searching almost all south Indian restaurants, finally got this one whose idli we love. The Vada was very tasty. The dosa was also made to perfection while keeping in view of our request to make it extra crisp. Loved the place and the service. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Would surely recommend this place .

Food is overpriced. One idli piece goes for $1.75 , and this is not even a set meal ! Price is almost the price of fine dining .Choice of drinks and food very limited . No combo set meat unlike other restaurants . Chutney selection is good . Service is overage. .

*WARNING* ....Worst service. Non sense verbal words. They theft from every costumer using name of Service Tax-10%. Poor handling of costumers. His manager talk to costumers without respect. Avoid these kind of people and hotel also. Coz for Eating need a big patient mind set. Surely they will collapse it ....

We enjoy an occasional outing to Murugan Idli Shop. The quality of the South Indian food here is excellent. The spicy sauces are also quite a hit and the freshness of the dosa, idli etc. make the experience so much refreshing. The quintessential way to serve the food on banana leaves also make it an interesting experience. Lots of nice options for people of all ages. If you havent been here you are surely missing out. The filter coffee is also very flavourful. Do ask them for a fresh brew. The hand-washing area could be made more hygienic with hourly cleaning.

Alone in a restaurant that I never been before. No pictures in menu 😅. But! The food is pretty good. Lucky there is family beside me to help me with my order.

Love the idli of course , one of the best places to have crispy masala dosa , filter coffee and masala vada 😋

Do not waste money. Rubber Idli and Salty Sambar and Chatnies.Despite complaints they dont change.Madurai Murugan Idli and Singapore Murugsn Idli are poles apart.

The food is average to good not excellent. place need some changes, the service also need some freshness. May be due to covid business is down that results in the area i mentioned

They’ve got the best idlis in town with free flow chutneys and sambar. The ghee masala dosa also didn’t disappoint. There’s usually a waiting these days due to social distancing limits so you will have to wait outside the restaurant. Maybe they can atleast add a few more chairs for the customers waiting to make it a bearable experience.

You cannot go wrong with the ghee podi idli/dosa/anything to be honest!! Find myself here for food at least 3-5x a month ...

Delicious food. I wanted to try a variety and ordered way too much food — the super crispy butter dosa was the star, and the variety of tasty sauces were great. I liked the low key vibe.

Nice indian food, more of the breakfast type, variety of chutney was good. May be slightly more expensive than others in the area, the food quality is good.

Franchisee of Murugan Idli Shop, Madurai.Taste is not as good as the original one, but while in Singapore, you cant complain about that.Menu is attached with the photos Ive posted.Usually crowded, youll have to stand outside the shop waiting if the seats are full.Single occupancy seats are hard to find, so solo foodies might have to wait more.Staff have too many people to attend to, so youll have to WAIT from the word go.Wait for the menu to be provided, food is served pretty fast once the waiters take your order.No preferences in eating as all if them taste great.Calling out for anything to the waiters is useless, they listen to you when they really want to.But all in all, all of this is really worth it, must visit when youve cravings for good idlis.

The best idli, dosa, uttapam, and sambar in town! Also, 4 types of chutneys to die for! Definitely recommend a visit.

Pros: Tasty South Indian (tiffin) food with amazing chutneys (sauces). Affordable.Cons: Ambience and waiting.Overall: I do visit occasionally on less crowded day to have an easy desi meal....

Simple tasty vegetarian South Indian food. Set on a banana leaf, with four chutneys, and add on idli, dosah, pongol, and more. The idli are well regarded across Singapore, and the texture, richness, and bouncy nature is as good as anything I have eaten in many trips to Chennai. The sambal has a delightful chili bite that leaves your lips lightly warm after you are done eating. A bit of a queue, but worth the wait.

At its best for idli and dosa.nevee miss the super soft ghee dipped podi idly, can say its sort of there signature dish

One more Disappointment.!Heard a lot of praise from lot of people and it was first time yesterday...!Still thinking....What were those people praising about :)Smabar,Very much Below AverageChutneys Were good,More like OK...Nothing extraordinaryDosa,Pretty average, There are 10 more better places in 10 Mins walk from this place.!And Place....and Service there,You would not expect much...but it even did not meet extremely lowered expectation :)

This was where I fell in love with thosai. Their tosai is perfect - crispy, flavourful. Highly recommend

Yummy idly and sweet pongal is my favourite.

Beat place to have authentic south Indian food. Best chutney ever.

Ordered 2 Sambar Vadai but packed only 1, Chutney or colored water I dont know. There is nothing authentic left in this restaurant. Give less quantity but atleast maintain quality or else no need to offer any chutney. 0 star for Packaging team, in current situation when no dining allowed then also you guys cant pack the order properly.

Good delicious breakfast in Singapore...they give 4 type of chutney..which tastes So good with idly....not too crowded like MTR

One of the best in town for idly and dosa lovers!Absolute variety of chutneys.Dine-in customer services could be improved.

One of the best place to have Idli, with varieties of chutneyDosa and other south Indian items are awesome as well.

Very slow service despite very few people at dine in . And the famous jigirthanda was like payasam.

Its nice pace to have a breakfast coz light n fresh food

Their Idlis are the Best in Singapore - always fresh, soft and yummy. The rest of the food is good too. I just wish their Sambar was better but overall... worth going to. Yummy and very reasonable prices. Now they have shifted to a bigger place with more seating so one doesnt have to wait in queue. Food is served in traditional style, on banana leaves... best eaten with hand. If you prefer, you can eat with a spoon too ... but then EAT LIKE LIKE ITS MEANT TO BE EATEN (my opinion.)

Perfect cure for nostalgia of Chennai food, amazing idlis and podi dosa and filter coffee

Best place for Idly lovers,must try if you are in singapore.

All Covid-19 restrictions being followed. Entry was being controlled effectively. Being a Sunday waiting period was about 25 to 30 minutes. Dishes were delicious and meticulously prepared. Service was good but there is scope for improvement. Crowding and being overworked cannot be coined as an excuse.

Overly price for the idily. Food was above average and bit on the high side for simple South Indian breakfast and snack.

Food is good and service/ambience can improve a bit!

Good ambience and tasty food. their Sambar is awesome

Really enjoyed idli & vadal served on banana leaf, gravies was good. Value set at S$3.50. Coffee was Indian style hot milk + coffee, not bad but a little expensive at S$2.50 a disposable cup. Service on my lunch visit was great.

Lovely South Indian tiffins in little India.The yummy idly joint with the wonderful 4 chutneys on the banana leaf - coconut, mint, curry leaves, tomato and sambhar. Eagerly Jotted down the order on the menu sheet shared with us.The long wait queue didnt deter us and we missed no chance to try - idly, ghee podi idly, masala dosa, onion uttapam and loved every bite of it.T nagar branch of Chennai was much lovelier but this joint is nothing less in the land of Singapore. The ambience is more like an Indian one, no offence meant and reminds you are in Little India. Will visit again definitely.Food - 4/5Price - 3/5 (price on menu doesnt include GST)Overall -4/5

Edit: pains me to write this review, but this place isn’t the same anymore unfortunately. The food is too oily and salty. Service is inattentive. The new management has terrible queue management - they have no system to know who came at what time.Old review:Consistently good, simple, South Indian food.

Best place to eat lovely idlis and Ghee Pongal :)

Quite an extensive variety of items in their menu. I enjoyed the food, price was reasonable. Even when dining in, we were given single-use plastic fork, spoon, and cup - perhaps due to the COVID-19 situation?You may want to bring your own utensils and cups to minimise waste.

Best South Indian food in Singapore without any doubt!!! We were in Singapore for 6 days and out of that six days, we went to this place around 4 times. Really, its a food saviour for specially vegetarians and Indian food lovers who are trying to search it in Singapore. Yes, theres many of South Indian joints there but I found it best. Chutneys are Scrumptious, Lip- smackingly delicious. MUST TRY.

Best ghee podi masala dosa 😍😍😍😍 the vada is so crispy and a must have here!

The service is getting deteriorated.. Asked for some extra Chutney which the staff serves generously in Murugan idly (and I have been visiting here for years), and the lady staff rudely snapped me, please first finish the one you have. After a while, my husband asked her to pour some, she kept pouring it on my plate despite telling her its sufficient.Podi dosa was salty, first time in so many years. Idlis are the only thing one can come for if getting served rudely by some of the staff is tolerable. Understandably staff may have extremely high demand of customers, which makes them delay heeding to our requests, but havent seen such an attitude in Murugan idly before.

Most authentic idli and south indian fare in town!

The best idlis in sg. Everything about the place is just amazing.

I have tried their outlet in Chennai, India! Tat was d best idli I have ever tasted in my life with their idli podi n oil. Singapore branch also has d best idli in sg! Cannot be compared to chennai branch. Do enjoy their variety of chutneys. Its really gd.I was not happy wit them charging additional for d idli podi n oil but thats just me, I saw all d others happily paid for it!

Quite popular for take away Idli tasty an value for money.

The quality Murugan idli shop foods is very much good. Their service is also good. If you like South Indian food or idli you can definitely try here. Their food taste just amazing. If you came from India you can definitely try here and enjoy their delicious meals.

Good south Indian idlys. Skip the dosas, nowhere close to the actual dosas we are used to in the south.

Were regular patrons at muruguns and love their super soft idlis and crispy dosa. Ordered twice via Grab and really disappointed as they didnt send enough sambar even though we ordered 6 idlis 2 dosa and vadai for 4 pax. Idlis shapes were also distorted in the brown paper packaging squeezed roughly in rubber band.

As usual the idlis are super white and super soft... and chutneys are amazing... cant say the same for the sambhar though.And though menu is small... it is sufficient... however slightly disappointed to know some items on the menu were not available (idiappam).

Amazing food but poor service! Very transactional

Food taste as good as ever.COVID related restrictions can be more properly followed. Some staff not having mask covering their nose. No handgloves when handing out spoons / glasses.

Ghee thosai is nice. Comes with 4 different chutney. Sambar a bit diluted. But three stars because toilet and handwash area is badly maintained.

Best South Indian food in Singapore hands down. Dont let the ambiance deceive you. Great value for money and time.

The best Idli in singapore, better than all the hotels.

Staff: Absolutely Horrendous - have to keep pestering them to take order, provide more chutneys. They do not care about service at all. For a restaurant charging 10% service charge it is extremely unprofessional.Food: The best South Indian food you can find in Singapore. The fluffiest Idlis I have eaten. Ghee Podi Masala Dosa is to die for.Giving 3 stars just for their amazing food.

Best dosa and chutney

I enjoy having thosai in this restaurant. They offer 5 sauces to dip on.

Authentic South Indian food. The place is nice and clean. Staff is very helpful. Service is quite fast. And the food is yummy.

Amazing and very authentic place. The food doesnt look that great and prepare to eat it with hands, but whole experience is amazing. Must try: idli, sambarvadai, ghee masal dosai. They serve very very fast.

Always a variety of chutneys and lovely soft idli. Thank you Manoj for good service and making sure chutney isnt not spicy

Its our familys favourite food destination.. Simple and authentic South Indian cuisine.. Served fresh on a banana leaf.. Its extremely delicious and quite low on the pocket!! 👌❤️🔥

Good food. Try the mango lassi

The best i’ve tried. comes with 4 chutneys.

This restaurant is situated opposite Mustafa. Food was good. But the atmosphere is bad . Not clean. Service is very very bad. Six of us went there and we were given two tables in two different rows. After having dosa, we ordered idly . Idly was supplied without chutney and sambar. It took another 10 minutes for chutney and sambar eventhough the restaurant was half empty. Coffe was ordered and the staff kept all the cups of coffee on one table eventhough our group is occupying two tables apart from each other. We could see the staff shouting at each other and fighting. A staff from one corner was shouting at another staff in another corner. Too much noise. You can not eat your food peacefully here.

The food was not to my expectations. The price was really expensive compared to the quantity, quality and service. Furthermore price quoted was excluding GST and service charge.Not recommended and definitely not going back as there are better outlets with better tasting food. Even they charge for podi and the ghee which I think its pathetic. The coffee was $2.50 and it was deliver in a recycle vending machine cup which I think was way beyond the standard.

Its a casual restaurant for simple south Indian foods like Idli, dosa etc. The prices are reasonable and food is alright. This place has a reputation for very nice idlis but dont expect much in terms of ambience. Its a very casual and simple place for a quick meal.

Inside ambiences have much room for improvement.

Unarguably, the freshest and the tastiest idlis in Singapore. For those who don’t know what idlis are or haven’t tried them before, they’re steamed dough cakes served with an assortment of freshly prepared dips. For Indians, do try the Podi dosas here. They never had it on the menu two years ago until I suggested. Now it’s one of my go-to places for some excellent podi-dosai.

Great place to taste Dosa, shallot unhappy, pongal. Chutneys are to good to

Paper dosai and Masala dosai - excellent, crispy and with enough dips to keep you busy. Service is as expected - if not sure ask.

Nice and expensive idly. Should try.

Perfect place for traditional idli and sambar. There ghee pudi idli is different dish to try. Well maintained.

Food was tasty and good options. More of Indian taste. Variety of idly, dosa are good and 4 types of chutneys served are adds more taste. The ambience and way of serving could be improved.

Came here for supper last night and the place was clean and welcoming. The plain thosai was delightfully crisp, tangy, and not too greasy. I think among the top 3 Ive ever had! The idlis were very fluffy and pretty good, but I wish a little tangy-er. The chutneys were delicious and varied. My main quibble about the restaurant is the lack of tea on the menu! I was really surprised and had to check with the manager, who confirmed they dont serve tea. They do have mango lassi and coffee among others, but just manage your expectations if youre hankering for masala chai.

Tasty vegitarian food. Crowded.Hygine needs improvement.

Crispy thosai, good chutney and INCREDIBLE sambar

Tasty south indian food. The ghee masala dosa is very good and tasty. It has nice fragrant of ghee

Went back in a haze of nostalgia (visited the place 7 years ago). Excellent idli and meduvadai, but disappointing sambar.

We were looking for a crispy dosa in Singapore for days, and our search ended at Murugan. Their dosas were really nice, sambhar could have been better. Also tried idlis and jigarthanda, both were nice.

Excellent idlies (indian pancakes) and thosai. Freshly made everytime and the sauces you can dip them into makes a world of difference. Spice and savoury tastes gives your palate a kick. Been here 3 times n wonderful for vegetarians. U can also give their jigarthanda a try if you have bit of sweet tooth for beverage.

Worst taste. Sambhar is watery like rasam. Idlies are flat like dosa. Less quantity for big price. Doesnt even deserve 1 star.

Not very crowded, possibly because of the Covid-19 situation. I had idli/wada sambhar. Tasted good. They offer four chatnis, and each one was better than the other. Sambhar could have been better. Also had coffee, which was okay, not great. Ambiance was pretty dull, sleepy.

Don’t let its humble looks deceive you. Although the place doesn’t look much, the food is quite tasty and the price reasonable.

Fulfilling and fresh food..podi idli was yummy and other food like dosa, ghee pongal, uttapa , lassi etc was also good...

Excellent soft idli!

Delicious. Value for money.

Great place, authentic, incredible prices

This place came heavily recommended from a friend of mine. Had the Idli and the masala dosai. Best Ive had yet.

Simple yes but taste authentic and good! Its where you can find the best South Indian food thats authentic

A good place to eat South Indian Tiffin items. Podi idli and Ghee dosa are something which they prepare the best!

Ghee pongal is good and other items are below average. Sambar too watery and no taste. Customer service is not in an expectable level.

Good food... Affordable price ... Great service... Nice place to dine with your entire family...

I have been eating at Murugan Idli shop at Syed Alwi Road for more than 12 years. Without doubt they serve the best idlis in town. In fact they also used to have best dosa and sambhar as well but their food quality has taken a seious dip in last 3 yeara or so. Their xoconut chutney used to be so amazing but now is so spicy. Dont know whether they have done it deliberately as its a free flow item and used to be taken a lot. Quality of sambhar has also come down. Its more watery now. Dosa filling isnt also as tasty as it used to be. Last thing...filter coffee .I used to live that steel mini glass and Katori and traditional style of serving with inverted glass, now paper cups have taken over and that feel is gone. Murugan Idli Shop seriously needs to address its declining quality otherwise there are many restaurants serving south indian food and they will soon start feeling the heat.

Great food. The chutneys are not to be missed.

Not happy with the service, the staff was not hospitable either. I kind of had an acidic stomach after eating the food from there although taste wise the food was good. So Id say enter at your own risk!
