Star Café is a restaurant at 33 Chander Road in Little India, Singapore, carrying a 4.4 rating on Google.
In a neighbourhood that takes its food as seriously as this one, a good restaurant is judged less on décor than on turnover, and busy tables usually point to a short, confident menu worth ordering from. Expect homestyle cooking served quickly and without fuss, rice and curries at the heart of things, and spice treated as seasoning rather than spectacle. Vegetarian eating runs deep in Little India, so meat-free dishes are often a kitchen's strength rather than an afterthought. Regulars tend to time their visits around the lunch and dinner rushes, when the fresh pots come out and the room is at its liveliest.
For an easy, unpretentious meal a short stroll from the Serangoon Road bustle, Star Café sits in one of Singapore's most rewarding corners to eat well.
