Chef Manjunath Mural, formerly of one-Michelin-starred The Song of India, returns to the scene with Adda restaurant on Beach Road. Here, he serves popular Indian dishes from north to south which are presented with modern twists. Take, for example, the vegetarian Bollywood Burger sliders that pique the palate with its medley of spicy roasted mushrooms offset by the pickled radish, onions and cucumber, and sandwiched between fluffy beetroot-infused buns.

From Mural’s signatures, you have the glorious butter chicken pot pie presented with much flair in a claypot sealed with a flaky pastry. The staff serve it by cutting open the pastry to reveal the deliciously rich butter chicken curry inside. Don’t skip desserts; the traditional gulab jamun, which tends to be overly sweet, is remade into a cheesecake for the right balance of sweet and creamy. Book here.

Spring has inspired chef de cuisine Mirko Febbrile to create the restaurant’s first tasting menu for the year.

Another standout dish is the Topinambour, where a silky smooth sunchoke puree is crowned with home-cured sardines and charcoal-smoked Alaskan king crab. Book here.
