Akasa is a modern Indian restaurant located at CapitaSky in Tanjong Pagar, in the heart of Singapore's CBD. The restaurant describes itself as reimagining what a luxury Indian restaurant in Singapore can be, merging the flavours of India's royal kitchens with the energy of the city skyline. Its name, "Akasa," refers to the sky and the ether — the space where all elements meet — which the kitchen takes as its guiding philosophy, drawing on soul-stirring North Indian traditions from the smoky tandoors of Old Delhi to the elegant Dum cooking of Awadh.
Under the leadership of Chef Akhilesh Pathak, the kitchen turns out signature dishes such as the AKASA-E-Lobster Masala and the Akasa Signature Mutton Curry, alongside a strong vegetarian and vegan programme built on farm-to-table sourcing and dishes free from heavy creams or artificial colours, such as Punjabi Kofta Curry and Jackfruit Potato Bhuna Masala. Akasa is also positioned as a leading vegan restaurant in Singapore, serving plant-based dishes like Multani Soy Chaap, Dal Tadka and Palak Lessoni with the same bold-spice philosophy as the rest of the menu.
Akasa caters to weekday business lunches, romantic dinners with terrace skyline views, birthdays and family gatherings with dedicated Kids' Spice-Free menus, plus catering for weddings, home parties, and religious events with Sattvic or Jain requirements. The restaurant also runs a Boutique Buffet concept with live gourmet stations, and a Happy Hour featuring Masala Mixology cocktails paired with Twilight Tapas.
On Google, Akasa has built up 183 reviews, with guests frequently singling out the butter chicken and mango lassi.
At CapitaSky in Tanjong Pagar, right in the heart of Singapore's CBD, Akasa positions itself as a rethink of what a luxury Indian restaurant can be. The name itself — "Akasa" — refers to the sky and the ether, the space where all elements meet, and that idea runs through the kitchen's approach: taking the soul-stirring recipes of North India, from the smoky tandoors of Old Delhi to the elegant Dum traditions of Awadh, and giving them a modern, elevated treatment.
Under the leadership of Chef Akhilesh Pathak, the menu is built around dishes described as "every plate is a canvas." Signature offerings include the AKASA-E-Lobster Masala and the Akasa Signature Mutton Curry, alongside guest-favourite classics like the butter chicken, which comes up again and again in reviews, and a mango lassi that reviewers repeatedly single out as among the best they've had.
Vegetarian cooking isn't an afterthought at Akasa — the restaurant describes it as a legacy, built on farm-to-table sourcing of seasonal produce and a deliberate move away from heavy creams and artificial colours in favour of natural sweetness and spice. Dishes like Punjabi Kofta Curry and Jackfruit Potato Bhuna Masala showcase this approach. On the fully plant-based side, Akasa positions itself as a leading vegan restaurant in Singapore, serving dishes such as Multani Soy Chaap, Dal Tadka and Palak Lessoni with the same bold-spice, no-shortcuts philosophy applied across the rest of the menu.
Akasa's CBD location makes it a natural fit for business lunches, and its weekday set lunch is designed to be swift and elegant, aimed at professionals looking to impress colleagues or close deals without derailing the rest of the workday. In the evenings, the restaurant leans into romance, with terrace tables offering skyline views that make it a popular choice for anniversary and Valentine's Day dinners. Family gatherings are also catered for, with dedicated "Kids' Spice-Free" menus and large sharing platters designed to bring the table together, plus custom decor and hosting support for birthday celebrations.
Rather than a mass-produced buffet format, Akasa runs what it calls a "Boutique Buffet" concept, with live gourmet stations where chefs prepare fresh chaats, naan and rotis in front of guests, a Tandoori Trail of hickory-smoked kebabs and tikkas, and a rotating selection of slow-cooked signature curries such as Dal Dhaba. Once the sun sets, the bar shifts gears with a Happy Hour built around "Masala Mixology" — cocktails like the Akasa Iced Tea, Espresso Martini, and Botanical Cocktails featuring gin infused with cardamom — paired with Twilight Tapas such as sea bass tikka and white pomfret masala.
Akasa also brings its cooking off-site, offering catering for weddings and galas with grand buffet layouts, vegetarian catering for religious events like Satsangs and Pujas with Sattvic or Jain requirements accommodated, and smaller-scale catering for intimate home parties.
Akasa is located at 79 Robinson Road, #01-03 CapitaSky, Tanjong Pagar, Singapore 068897, open Monday to Saturday for lunch (11:30am–2:30pm) and dinner (5:30pm–9:30pm), with delivery available from 11:30am to 9:30pm. With 183 Google reviews and consistent praise for its butter chicken and mango lassi, Akasa has built a solid local following since opening in the Tanjong Pagar CBD.
