I decided to try Al Falah Restaurant after walking past and seeing how crowded it was, figuring the food had to be good. The reality was pretty chaotic, though—the layout is confusing, and it took a while just to figure out where to even place an order. When the food finally arrived, the prata was nicely crispy on the outside, but the dough itself was way too thick for my liking. The curry was also a letdown as it lacked that rich, savory fragrance you usually expect. They do serve a separate chili sauce on the side to pair with the prata, but it leaned much more toward being sweet rather than actually spicy. The one saving grace was their teh tarik, which was genuinely quite good and hit the perfect level of sweetness. Overall, it is a fine spot to grab a tea, but the messy ordering process and average food mean it didn't quite live up to the hype of the crowd.

Kitty and I were cycling in Hougang, when she developed a craving for teh tarik, We happened upon Al Falah Restaurant, and decided to give it a try, We initially ordered a kopi tarik, and a teh tarik, but the crowd was so considerable, that I decided to check their Google rating, over 4 stars, I was intrigued to see such a busy prata establishment at that hour, so I convinced Kitty to sample their prata too. We ordered one plain prata, The coffee, and tea were acceptable, but unremarkable. However, the prata was exceptionally crispy. Unfortunately, it lacked a robust flavour, and Kitty, and I were seeking more oomph. The presentation was satisfactory, but unexceptional, Despite being heavily crowded, the establishment was surprisingly clean, and not overly noisy. The ambience was lively, and energetic. What truly distinguished the experience was the service, We relinquished our seats for a family with young children, and relocated to some stone chairs in the public area. To our surprise, a member of staff promptly brought over a small table for our use, we were genuinely impressed by their thoughtfulness, and sincerity. Overall, a pleasant experience.

I ordered: Egg Thosai – SGD 3.20 Briyani with Curry Chicken – SGD 8.00 Fried Chicken – SGD 4.50 Hot Teh – SGD 1.50 Iced Teh – SGD 2.50 The hot teh was good and not overly sweet. The egg thosai was a little disappointing. I've had much better elsewhere. It wasn't crispy, and the amount of egg was quite sparse. It also didn't come with raw onions on the side, which I usually expect. The curry chicken was made with breast meat, so it was quite tough and dry. One thing I noticed was that not all of the staff seemed to understand English well, which made it a little difficult when asking questions or placing requests.

This is the perfect dinner/supper spot for all north easties! Their prata is super crispy yet not airy. They have many flavours to choose from and I'd recommend the chocolate banana for something different 🥰

prata stop at Al Falah 🫓 Tried their crispy kosong and egg prata with curry - the prata was decent, nicely layered and not overly greasy. Curry was okay, nothing too punchy but does the job. Overall, solid comfort food, but nothing that really stands out. Good for a casual prata fix, especially if you are nearby or craving something simple at night - it’s 24hrs 🌙
