Yantra appetiser with very crispy chips and assorted vegetables strips, dipped on mildly spicy sauce.

No more boring food:) One of the WOW dishes when it is served. Isn’t it adorable? Crispy chaat sets on chairs with leather from edible mango slices. I love this chair, food for the eyes and happy tummy!

Yantra Chair Chaat at S$16*.

Featuring from left to right.

Spiced minced chicken kebabs on sugar cane sticks, having all the taste without extra grease. My favourite among the three appetisers.

Yantra Ganderi Kebabs at S$28*.

Kashmiri lamb chop, meat khandvi rolls, coconut foam, goat cheese salad with delights of authentic Indian food. A little disappointment as there’s a slight gamy smell in lamb.

Yantra Grazing Goat at S$45*.

A simple appetiser spiced with three lemon zest flavoured chicken tikka.

Yantra Teen Nimboo Ka Chicken Tikka at S$36*.

Signature curry leaf and tasty pepper crab separated by filo sheets and perfect with chargrilled prawn. Look at the generous amount of crab meat below! Savoury good with curry leaf fragrance!

Yantra Verqui crab at S$32*.

Yantra fine wine collection – Bodegas Muga Reserva 2012. Pleasing rioja vanilla and fruit aromas with terrific sense of earthiness.

Piquant lamb curry slow cooked to tender and kept warm in ceramic jars. It tasted marvellously with briyani.

Yantra Martabaan ka meat ar at S$45*.

Palatable cottage cheese cooked in garlic flavor spinach. The cottage cheese gives a moist texture and the garlic spinach gives it great enhancement. I love to spread this yummy on my favourite garlic naan.

Yantra Palak Paneer at S$28*.

Aromatic rice bursting and cooked with chicken. My nose starts to eat once the cover is opened. Biryani is another staple Indian food that I love.

Yantra Chicken Biryani at S$40*.

Yantra assorted naan with more than 10 flavours to choose from. And my favourite is garlic naan.

Mashed brinjal wonderfully infused with irresistible smoky flavour and carefully spiced, simulate one’s appetite. However you might not like this if you are not a fan of brinjal.

Yantra Baingan Saraf at S$30*.

Black urad lentils simmered overnight giving mild and earthy flavour. As the taste of black urad lentil is strong, I would recommend to eat with naan or rice.

Yantra Dal Makhani at S$32*.

Fusion tiramisu with coffee flavoured milk dumpling in a cheese cake. Good for the sweet tooth however lacking in coffee fragrance.

Yantra Gulab Jamun Tiramisu at S$19*.

I never guess that I am able to pop an ice cream stick at fine dining restaurant. Here at Yantra, homemade Indian ice cream served on ice cream stick. It stands out with an intense mango flavour, creaminess and being less sweet.

Yantra Malai Kulfi at S$20*.
