Briyani at Al Ameen


Name: North Indian Biryani Dum (Chicken)
Location: 30 Woodlands Avenue 1, The Woodgrove Food Centre
Price: $5.00
Rating: 8/10

This evening's article is about Al Ameen at woodlands. A nice place in the north to have supper and catch up with friends. It is a one stop restaurant serving all types of food. Wester, North Indian, South Indian, Seafood, etc. It is a family restaurant where you can bring your family out here for dinner too.


Good Points
The taste of the Briayni Dum is authentic. The style of presentation and cooking is also unique, and preserves the Indian culture in their food. Its as if you are really eating in an Indian store in Little India. The service is fast and efficient. The food is served really hot and fresh, unlike some places they just scoop the rice out of a big pot which could have been there since morning. Here at Al Ameen, they cook the rice and a chicken in a small pot, and served together with the pot!! The meal comes with dhal, an indian curry, and also yoghurt mixed with cucumbers and some fruits. The serving is also filling for a hungry person like me.The toilets are very clean and mordern too, hygiene standards for the toilet is great!!

Points to Improve: The place is quite packed most of the time. The ambience is very similar to urban coffeeshops. The furniture are quite old and very basic, not as appealing as the new coffeeshops which you see, such as Kopitiam or Banquet.


Conclusion: Generally a nice place to dine in, with so many varieties of food to choose from. The service is great, however the ambience could improve with the furnishings. A place I would return to for more food.!!
