these shop guys originate from the tiny city of koothoor in the state of Tamil Nadu in South India. Hence the name koothoorar for the shop. The briyani is typical to the home cooked briyani from that region and hence may seem different to what you may find in most other shops. Right up to 1980s there were many indian muslim shops that served similar type of cuisine. However the cooks in most of the shops retired back to India. This family stayed put and is one of the few that still preserves that kind of cuisine in Singapore
Sigh...seeing all your past videos in pandemic times now. I really miss and never cherish those moments in enough....it feels like eternity going back to the normal life where we belong...
Saw the caption and popped in to watch your review.
It is one of my many briyani haunts and I love the fish cutlets - Super good !!!
Seeing you enjoying the briyani makes me drool, bro! Cheers !!!
Yeah I should have talked about the fish cutlets! They are amazing!
I swear this is my best and favourite Nasi Briyani in the World for the past 5 years.
Oh Greg... my wife and I have been eating japanese food for the last 4 weeks, this video is sure awakening our tastebuds!! Can't wait to get some biryani... 😋😋
U deserve to have more subscribers. Good job
A collab with a well known youtube would definitely boost views and subs.
@@yan2503 dk if u guys know mikey chen, he commented in his recent vids that he is going to come to singapore soon
@@yan2503 but greg doesnt seem like those who will really collab just for views and subs, hes more down to earth i would like to think
@@evilbefall98 u got a point there buddy.
no wonder there's a queue there!Always went to eat at the golden mile food centre but whenever pass by see the queue thinking its because of the mosque nearby hence the crowd
Didn’t see this video until now which is a pity. I was looking for Nasi Biryani yesterday and actually saw you vlogging at Selera Rasa at Old Airport Road yesterday. I wanted to say hi but you were busy filming so I didn’t disturb :) Keep ‘em coming!
haha! next time, disturb! I don't mind people saying hello :)
Gregory Leow I’ll do that next time. Didn’t want to interrupt you during a take. And I meant Old Airport Road, not Beach Road :)
Have you tried the Biryani from Ali Nachia? Formerly from the old Tanjong Pagar Railway station but now at Tanjong Pagar Plaza.
Yes! I like the biryani there as well. Though it was some years when I went there. I’ve eaten a lot of biryanis since then
Must queue before 11 if not Long queue haha, the hand made dimsum beside not bad too
Already watched this. Don't know why you tube still recommend this. How did RUclips knows I like nasi biryani?
Subscribed,! Is this Dhum Briyani? Very hard to find good Dhum Briyani...I only know north point basement has one stall.
Hi Greg.
Thanks for your food information vlogs.
Really enjoyed your food vlogs all the time.
H morn,we love All Biryani, there are any Japanese restaurants here in Rainham Essex so we have Bangladeshi takeaway which we love,your Biryani look'd delicious brave Blessup
Didnt try Zam Zam Biryani, around Arab Street there?...many ppl say they have one of the best biryani in singapore is it overated? I dunno 🤔🤷🏻♂️....honestly i dunno how to really compare which biryani is nice 😅🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ ..if its nice its nice..but i dunno how to compare which is better of if its the best or watnot..🤷🏻♂️😂😂
Can try the Nasi Biryani at Tiffin Bhavan at Campbell Lane. My favourite is their mutton stomach and fried chicken. Their Teh Tarik also good
U said it's one of the top 3
Which other 2 briyani places would make into your list ?
I would conservatively say top 5 lah. Top 3 maybe pushing it a bit! Check out the youtube playlist In my channel. It has one on best biryani. I only cover the good ones :)
Excellent review Greg. I've tried this biryani once before and didn't think that it was worth the wait. Perhaps, they have improved!
Brother actually its not briyani..its actually call pulaw...a type of ghee rice in the name of briyani
omg glad to find your channel!!! looking forward to more videos
Nice review, Greg. Everyone likes a good biryani.. This one's just OK for me. I think the best way to enjoy a good biryani is to have it takeout. Let the flavours infuse a while, spread the packet open and dive in with your fingers.
Which one is your favourite...?
Islamic, Imam and the one at the basement of Peninsula Shopping Centre..
Personally, they have the most well balanced biryani in Singapore. Every component is not amazing, but very well done. On a good day, the best biryani in Singapore imo.
Went there recently and the batch of rice I had wasn’t seasoned though.. :/
He brings out quality once again 😃😃
Look very. good thank you for sharing your beautiful foods is very big plate thank you for sharing.
U should try their brinjals..out of this world
You can try the Jam Kassim Dum Briyani Asli Power stall in Joo Chiat Complex foodcourt. One of the best I have tasted. Appreciate if you can review as well. Thanks.
2am.... woken up by ur Briani YTube.... makin me hungry now!! 😜😜😝😝
The owner offer good price many people enjoy the food compare to other places in singapore
wow. that shot really shows the tenderness of the mutton. have u tried geylang brani stall at geylang serai market? pretty gd too
4:36 just OMG! and yeah, I have never really seen than green stuff as well. Doesn't look too good to me though :/
the green stuff is at 7:52
Holy Cow ! I would love to try that biriyani. It's worth flying for 16 hours one way from Chicago to Singapore *
U got to be kidding me bro
You would do that? 😵
Tried this in my teens. Still awesome. Gregory, good job!
You haven't talked about Indian Rojak. You should try Adam Indian Rojak, stall #5 at Adam Road Hawker Centre, imo one of the best I have tried.
Ok I’ll try one day!
My fav singapore food vlogger
Is this still the best biryani in Singapore?
All at Tekka - no match. Its still good even when cold.
Greg you makes my mouth watered
😆😆
Went there to try the brayani after watching your review. Yeah, nice. We asked for additional mutton,and it was in a different gravy then that served with the standard order. All tasted nice though. Maybe you should also do a review of the dim sum stall infront of this brayani stall.
I feel sorry for that dim sum stall 😂
Wat I liked about Greg video was his eyeball expression of the foods description, more than I can chew my briyani mutton elsewhere further down the road in Little India , most briyani seller likes to pile tons of basmatic rice , the mutton & chicken were cooked to perfection by this Vendor, you can see e meat rubbing off the bone means one thing . Long slow stewing ... a process of patience cooking 🙌🏼. How good does It taste is based on Greg's facial expression.
Hi Gregory nice review.
Pls review Fakruddin Biryani at Desker Road.
Another great one is the perennial Islamic Restaurant
I try they food can Corp to zam zam the one near south bridge very f near temple !
great job keep working the subscribers will come!! Hey is Chicken Tikka masala popular there or is that just Gwielo?
It's gwielo lol... Prefer pepper chicken to Tikka masala... Thing is South East Asia have more south Indian influences than North Indian cousin... South Indian curries are punchy than North india
Swaadhisht try there authentic Kerala briyani..9 to 12 dlrs..😋
I like the fried fish cake, only on Wednesday
Very. Good
What do you use to record?
For an explanation on the difference between local-style biryanis and dum biryanis (also a review of Biryani Express), watch this vlog: ruclips.net/video/oyLPf0jc7UU/видео.html
How much is it?
too much stuff like salad and so on will shadow the real taste....to say it's a good one you must eat it plain to enjoy the whole taste......great video thank you to make us discover Singapore taste
Looks like you are a Biryani fan, visit Hyderabad for the best Biryani.
I always have doubts about the food if they cannot boil an egg, this one is way overcooked.
you are underrated. keep it up!
Hi bro, u must try the one @ Blk 81 Marine Parade Central. I’m pretty sure u will like it. Cheers
It’s nice. I eat it when I’m in the area!
Hey I enjoy watching your videos
Gotta try this soon, thanks for the review..👌👌
You won me with another would-eat nasi place.
I like it very much! 👍🏼😃
Beautiful😋😋 will visit them soon😜
Amazing video thanks 🙏
I think you don't know more about beryani and it's history. Go to Seetoh to know more about it. Its a Muslim food and a national food of Pakistan.It was introduced by the Muslim Turks when they rule India for more than 100 years introducing food ranging from tandoori, kebab etc which genuinely known as Muglai food. India is originally a vegetarian nation. With the arrival of the Moguls India it has absorbed the food culture and and became part of Indian food. The Indian Muslim even introduced Mee goreng, Indian rojak, Mee siam etc in Singapore ,that you don't find in India, Pakistan and even in Bangladesh.Seetoh had mentioned in one of his write up about this intelligent Indian Muslim for introducing such original unique food culture in South East Asia. But I must be fair to mention that you deliver it professionally and you have a bright future and I will watch your program.👍👍👍👍
Actually I’ve already discussed it in my other vlogs that the local Malay Muslim style of biryani is similar to nasi minyak, which is why “biryani” means different things to diff people and especially surprising for people from India who live here. People from India don’t think that what we have in singapore is authentic but not to many Malays here. Likely people from Iran (modern day Persia and arguably the birthplace of biryani) don’t think biryani in India is “authentic” either lol. But i speculate. Nevertheless, it is fascinating how a dish evolves as it travels through regions and it questions the idea of authenticity. I’ll link my original explanation in the video description about the differences between street side and restaurant style dim biryanis in singapore. Thanks for your comments 😊
Good
My favourite food..😋
My favourite 🌷😃🇸🇬
I love a good Biryani, can i access this restaurant by MRT? I am planning to visit Singapore in January.
Sort of. Lavender mrt is the nearest but it’s a 5-10 min walk to the food centre.
Depends on where you're planning to stay, because quite often SBS buses go right past many hawker centres/coffee shops that aren't close to MRT stations. I just had a couple of weeks eating my way round Singapore and quite often the bus was the easier option for me from my hotel. The other thing is that the bus usually has better views than the MRT! If you go to Singapore often, it's probably a good idea to buy an EZ Link card ($10 or $12) from a MRT ticket office or a 7-11 store and keep it topped up. This time I used about $50 for 13 days using public transport for between 8 and 12 journeys a day. There is a SBS transit app you can download, but I used google maps with directions and it didn't let me down once.
Best in Singapore
I think your description is better than the food. Haha.....
ok ill try this also
This is much better Mutton Biryani than in India and Pakistan . Because of Malaysian cultural influance
Good job on ordering Mutton not Chicken Briyani! The latter fairly common to find decent ones but true mastery is how one's Mutton briyani turns out IMHO? The meat has to be well cooked and tender *and* absorb all the yummy spices all at once!
your username is hilarious. I read it as fatmeow
Wow....so good...👍👍👍👍
Wish i could join u...🤗🤗🤗
Yummy!!
Passby. Woh so fragrance but never try.
My favourite. Bagus best 好. 👍🌷🇸🇬
I think I like this guy....yes, I think I do :-)
No more. This stall has lost its authentic taste because they cut back on the ingredients and spices. The biryani stalls at Geylang Serai market and at Changi Point beat this Beach Road stall hands down. There is another better one in town.
Gregory Leow was paid S$200 to advertist for Koothurar nasi bryamni.
If only that was true! 😂😂😂

Sea bass = barramundi???? GFTO here....
This shop has the best briyani and its cheap.
How much?
is this halal ? never heard of this place before ...
Sadiq Abdul Aziz obviously it’s halal. Aren’t they muslims who owned it ?
Indian Muslim owners...
Bengali food next ?
Haha! You have any recommendations?
@@GregoryLeow i haven't tried it before. ☺ Its rare than indian food, maybe you could do a series of videos on it maybe 3, trying it all . Lol i found this video on some dishes. Looks good !! ruclips.net/video/X0o9Pat7cac/видео.html please remember to describe the taste for us as best u can ok ? Ha ha
Just eat it today 21/5/2022 . The achar only little bit. Not really worth the 40 minutes wait. They are selling more like wholesaler than retail.
I like mutton biryani but this is nothing special. I have eaten better eg the Jalan Kayu store and one at AMK. And price is too expensive at $8.50 per plate. Their business is very very good and can always lower the prices.
Rice is very fragrant but the curry is too stingy to give.
Not koduvaa fish
The fish fry? I assumed it is koduva
Siakap
Ahhh ok thank you! 🙏
Spend some more dollars and visit Chennai/Ambur/dindugal to have nice biriyani....... Nee sapdradhu Elam biscotu thala..... Vaa nee vaa tamilnattuku
Yes, planning to one of these days!
😋🙆🙋
I find it kinda salty to my liking. Anyway great video Greg.
Kah giam, li dio ai jiak nasi lemak like the auntie
VERY IRRITATING. STOP thrusting your palm towards the viewer
