Bharat - India in Little India

We checked out Riverwalk Tandoor's new restaurant - Bharat (Hindi for India), situated inside New Park Hotel Shopping Arcade. That's right behind Mustaffa Centre along Serangoon Road. To access it, cut through Mustaffa Centre and just walk straight ahead.

This place has good value for money with equally great tasting food. I remembered 17 items from the buffet spread and have listed them.

I have to point out that the buffet here is good for vegetarians and meat lovers alike. My aunt and mum are vegetarians but the buffet had such a good spread of both vege and meat dishes that we didn't need to order a-la-carte.

Paying $14 nett to eat a partial buffet didn't make us feel shortchanged. It's cheaper if you go Monday - Thursday - $12.50 nett (for dinner). Lunch prices are as usual, cheaper than dinner.

Here's that list - and don't forget to read the next post which is a continuation and which has pics.
