Firangi Superstar

★ Champagne Superstar - brunch every Saturday from 12pm to 2.30pm Firangi Superstar brings modern Indian flavours with a playful twist in a glamorous and cinematic setting. We opted for the Magnificent menu and absolutely loved it—every dish impressed, and the free-flow alcohol made the experience even better. Every item in the starter box was impressive. We ordered the Prata Waffles (+S$7) and Steak & Eggs (+S$20) for our mains. While all the cakes looked beautifully tempting, our clear favourites were the Cinnamon Ginger Cookie and the Bru Coffee Cannoli. There are 3 variations in the brunch menu: ➊ Marvelous S$68 - includes a box of starters (choice of Veg or non-Veg option), a main and refillable desserts. (Drinks not included) ➋ Magnificent S$68 + S$70 - everything of Marvelous + 2.5 hour free-flow Bauget Jouette Brut/Rose, House Red/White Wine, Brunch Time Cocktails, House Beer, Soft Drinks, and House Masala Chai. ➌ Massmajestica S$68 + S$188 - everything of Marvelous + 2.5 hour free-flow Billecart-Salmon Blanc de Blancs, House Red/White Wine, Brunch Time Cocktails, House Beer, Soft Drinks, and House Masala Chai.

Visited Firangi Superstar recently and honestly, the food was really tasty. The flavours were unique, well-executed, and you can tell a lot of thought went into the dishes. The ambience and concept are also beautifully done. However, the portions were surprisingly small and the meal never really left us feeling satisfied, especially considering the final bill came to around $110++ for two people. One thing that disappointed me was the rice portion. A small bowl of rice shared between 2 people felt way too little for the pricing and didn’t match the premium dining expectations. I was also not pleased that we were charged $6 before taxes for plain water without being informed beforehand when it was served. It would have been appreciated if the staff had clarified that it was chargeable. Overall, delicious food and a great concept, but the portion sizes and unexpected charges affected the overall experience.

I had dinner here with my son last night. The interior design was absolutely stunning, but what made our night truly memorable was meeting John. He was incredibly kind and explained the menu in great detail. He highly recommended the lamb, but unfortunately, since I don't eat lamb, we ordered a pork dish instead. The pork was a bit dry, which made me wonder if we should have just gone with his lamb recommendation. However, all the other dishes he suggested were fantastic, and even the desserts were amazing. Thanks to John, we still had a wonderful dining experience!

As someone who’s very familiar with Indian flavours, I have to say this place doesn’t quite hit the mark on the Indian scale. The flavour profiles just don’t land where you’d expect them to. That said, I also don’t think the chef’s intention was to create traditional Indian food. It’s clearly meant to be fusion. But even with fusion concepts, there’s usually still a stronger anchor to one cuisine or flavour identity. In this case, very little of the Indian essence actually came through. So instead of judging it purely as Indian food, I tried viewing it through a more Western/fusion lens instead. Ordered the lunch set: -This Is Not Aloo Gobhi – Probably one of the better dishes from the meal. Good balance of flavours overall, and I liked the creativity behind the potato foam paired with the crunchy cauliflower. Nicely textured and well executed. -Coastal Highlands – The crab cake was flavourful and enjoyable. Ironically, this was one of the few dishes where the Indian flavour profiles actually came through nicely. Well balanced and satisfying. -Bombay Elote – Essentially corn topped with Bombay sev that can be found in Indian stores. Nothing particularly unique or memorable here. It tasted alright, but felt more like a safe snack than an actual standout dish. -Baked Artichoke – Started off decent enough, largely because of the sauce carrying the dish. But after a few bites, the burnt notes became overpowering and left a lingering bitterness that got quite overwhelming. -Back in the Saddle – Apparently this was meant to be tandoori-spiced lamb, but honestly, I barely got any tandoori flavours from it. It also didn’t feel like it had seen a tandoor at all. That said, the lamb itself was cooked well. Tender, no gamey taste, and oddly enough, it ate more like a beef steak than lamb. -Banoffee Fritters – Hilariously disappointing. You get two tiny fritters that honestly felt more like a garnish than a dessert. Taste-wise, it was alright, but incredibly underwhelming considering the potential they could’ve explored. Something like a gulab jamun burnt cheesecake fusion would’ve been far more interesting and memorable. Instead, this just felt lazy and forgettable. Overall, the concept has potential, but the execution felt caught in between identities; neither bold enough as Indian fusion nor memorable enough as modern Western cuisine.

We were so pampered at Firangi Superstar with the really good attentive service, and the food was wonderful. I really enjoyed the elotes in the set lunch, and I really want a vat of the coriander mint chutney. The team also went above and beyond with celebrating my birthday with a complementary chai blondie (i need the recipe now), candle and a return voucher. All in this is definitely a place I will return to in the near future.
