Tandoori Khazana: Authentic North Indian Dining on Victoria Street

Tucked inside Victoria Hotel at 89 Victoria Street, Tandoori Khazana has built a reputation as one of the go-to spots in Singapore for authentic North Indian cuisine. Formerly known as Kebab Curry Library, the restaurant has carried its tandoori roots forward under a new name while keeping the same focus: classic kebabs, rich curries, and dishes cooked in a traditional tandoor.

A Menu Built Around Tradition

The menu at Tandoori Khazana moves through a full arc of North Indian dining. It opens with soups like Mulligatawny and Chicken Manchow, moves into salads and cooling raita, and then into a dedicated chaat section covering Indian street-food classics such as pani puri, aloo chaat, papdi chaat, and samosa chaat. From there, appetizers split cleanly into vegetarian options — peanut masala, vegetable samosas, paneer pakora, hara bhara kebab — and non-vegetarian dishes such as chilli chicken, alongside Indo-Chinese leaning plates like gobi manchurian and paneer chilli.

The restaurant also serves a full range of tandoori grills, vegetarian and non-vegetarian mains, fresh breads, rice dishes and desserts, plus a beverage list that includes beers, wines, spirits and cocktails.

What Regulars Keep Coming Back For

Across customer reviews, a handful of dishes come up again and again. The butter chicken is consistently singled out as tender, rich and flavourful, often mentioned alongside the garlic or cheese naan as a pairing that keeps people coming back. The mutton biryani also draws strong praise, with reviewers describing generous portions of succulent mutton and layered, well-balanced spicing — for at least one regular, it's the best version they've tried.

The tandoori platter is another highlight, offering a mix of well-marinated, juicy meats straight from the tandoor. On the lighter, shareable side, the peanut chaat and chicken kathi roll are both called out as worth ordering, especially for anyone looking to sample the street-food side of the menu.

The Dining Experience

Reviewers consistently mention attentive, warm service, with staff who are happy to walk newcomers through the menu and answer questions patiently. The setting itself is simple and modest rather than lavish — the focus at Tandoori Khazana is clearly on the food and the welcome, not on an elaborate interior.

The restaurant is set up for both dine-in and takeaway, with online reservations available for anyone planning ahead. Given its location inside Victoria Hotel, it's a convenient stop for hotel guests as well as visitors exploring the Bugis and Victoria Street area.
