KOTHI: Amritsari Flavours and a Full Bar in Singapore

KOTHI brings itself to Singapore with a simple promise, right there in its tagline: 'From Amritsar With Love.' The restaurant and bar builds its menu around the culinary heritage of Amritsar, in Punjab, using authentic spices and farm-fresh ingredients across a genuinely large spread of dishes and drinks.

Tradition on the Plate

KOTHI's food ranges from slow-cooked staples like Kothi Special Mah Di Dal and Yellow Dal to tandoor-fired specialities such as Kothi Tandoori Chicken, Tandoori Soya Chaap, and Lamb Chops. Thalis — vegetarian, and non-vegetarian with either mutton or chicken — are available until 3pm, alongside breads like Amritsari Kulcha and Cheese Naan, some of which are also chef-recommended dishes on the menu.

Beyond the tandoor, the curry list runs deep, spanning Palak Paneer, Rogan Josh, Rara Chicken, Butter Chicken, Amritsari Fish, and Amritsari Special Paneer, with vegetarian options like Baingan Bharta, Bhindi Masala, and Sarson Da Saag Te Makki Di Roti sitting comfortably alongside the meat and seafood dishes. Starters and chaat cover familiar street-food style bites — Samosa Chaat, Gol Guppe, Bhalla Papri Chaat, and Bread Pakora among them — while a dessert list features Gulab Jamun, Phirni, Kulfi, and Amritsari Kulfa.

A Serious Bar Programme

KOTHI doesn't treat its drinks list as an afterthought. The cocktail menu includes house creations like Tropical Bliss, Sundari, Ruby Glow, and Blue Patiala, alongside classics such as Negroni, Mojito, and Cosmopolitan. Beer options span Tiger, Heineken, Corona, Carlsberg, and Asahi, while the wine list includes Marques Casa Concha, Jacob's Creek Shiraz, and a Moet & Chandon Brut for something more celebratory.

For spirits drinkers, KOTHI stocks a genuinely deep back bar — cognacs from Martell, single malts from Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Macallan, blended Scotch from Johnnie Walker and Chivas Regal, plus gin, vodka, rum, and tequila options. Non-alcoholic drinks aren't an afterthought either, with Masala Tea, Masala Lime, Mango Lassi, and Fresh Lime Soda offered alongside the usual soft drinks and bottled water.

Ambience and Ordering

KOTHI describes its interior as rustic charm meeting sophistication, with golden hues, handcrafted decor, and soft melodies setting the mood for dining. For anyone not dining in, KOTHI is available for delivery through both Grab and Foodpanda, and the restaurant notes there is no GST charged on food and drinks.

A Wide-Ranging Menu Built on Heritage

Whether it's a lunchtime thali, a plate of tandoor classics, or a night out working through the cocktail and whisky list, KOTHI positions itself as a place that takes both its Amritsari roots and its bar programme seriously — a combination that gives it a fairly wide appeal for both casual meals and longer evenings out.
