Song of India was fine without being 'WOW'. Lovely space, good cooking, service was a little patchy at times particularly as it got busier. Was it Michelin star quality, I will let others decide...

The food was amazing. Staff was attentive and ambiance was nice. There was a wide range of dishes available, although the dish we wanted could not be prepared. There was also a bit of confusion with our reservation. They cancelled it a few hours before saying they were fully booked. We called and were told to come in earlier if we still wanted a table. The restaurant wasn’t full at all so I’m not sure why we had to come in earlier. Overall, a delicious meal.

This restaurant is located in a beautiful colonial building. The food was very delicious, good choice of set menus, nice selection of wines and service very quick attentive. I wish they had an alfresco seating to soak in the atmosphere.

Most overrated Indian restaurant ever!! - too small portions in set menu - barring 2-3 items, food was average - too pricey for what they give you

The food on our recent visit was superb and beautifully presented, as usual. Service, too, is always quick, friendly and attentive. Although we return here on a reasonably regular basis and so have favourite choices, we still find ourselves enticed by dishes we have not tried from the extensive and varied menu. This time I ordered black cod from the starter menu, which was exquisite.

Food was very good with some novel dishes not normally seen on Indian Restaurant menus. The Ginger lamb was an example and was excellent. Service was a bit over attentive as we were asked by several different staff whether we liked the food. Premises were over air-conditioned to the extent that even the food got cold. Access to premises not safe with marble steps that were perilous after rain.

It was a wonderful experience. The servers Prasad and his team were most courteous and helpful. They helped us choose the right dishes. The ambiance was nice but can definitely be improved. The food was delicious and we did not have to wait long. We were two of us so the quantity was just right to satisfy our hunger. The pricing is pretty steep though. Being an Indian I am rarely impressed by Indian restaurant and usually avoid them. Yesterday was our new year so we wanted to get some Indian food and we were not disappointed. Loved the experience and will look forward to going back in the future. But for larger groups, it can be a very expensive meal and while the serving will feel small.

We tried one of the tasting menus. It was a nice meal but we expected something really special which wasn't delivered. The flavour combinations of the starter were just too subtle and didn't really work. May be we should've gone a la carte.

Simply superb dinner. Probably the best Indian restaurant in Singapore. The Cod Tikka was out of this world and we ordered it two times. Even the vegetarian dishes was so nice and we finished every bit of them.

Great experience. Nice ambient, very good food, good service. Chef Mural is very elegantly playing with the Indian flavours and is getting the best out of them. I would highly recommend this restaurant to an Indian food lover.

Above average Indian food and service (for an Indian restaurant). Not sure if it's worth a Michelin star though! I'm sure the wine list helps with that

The athmosphere and service was good. Some of the food was excellent (like the almond soup and salmon) and some we would state as average indian food (like the tandoori chicken we thought was nothing special).

Disappointed as usually good experience. A/C was spoilt and was hot and muggy inside restaurant so we didnt feel like eating spicy curry, which we usually like. Waiter had to be looked for several times to order wine. There were small flies around the buffet area.

The service and the environment is impeccable. The taste of the food has been reformed to cater the preferences of the Singeporean. Everything is within expectation except that the odor of the lamb is a little bit heavy. Overall its a good experience.

The food was great, all the spices and flavours hit the spot. Chef was extremely nice and came out to greet every table to see how the experience was. Staff are nice. Good value for 1 Michelin star.

The service was excellent. We all selected tasting menus. The food was unimaginative and uninspiring but well cooked and flavoured. The interiors look a bit dated and the lighting is too dim. I think we walked away thinking that this was a slightly better than average North Indian restaurant with an overpriced menu.

We went on a Saturday afternoon and had the buffet. Spread wasn't fantastic but for that price and place it is still reasonable. We enjoyed the food especially the fresh naan. Ambience and service was good.

Food was very good. However, the wait for the food was fairly long. The restaurant should consider measures to speed up the service so that customers are not kept waiting unnecessarily long for food, especially when they are hungry. Waiting should not exceed 20 minutes.

A upmarket Indian restaurant that needs little introduction. Great ambience, elegant surroundings in a colonial bungalow and amazing food that keeps you returning. What more can you ask for?

Food is ok. Staff is reasonably friendly. Our table probably didn't have a good location because there was always someone passing by, making it very distracting to have a conversation - dampened the experience a bit.

Song of India is a pleasant experience, if you want a quiet peaceful Indian meal out. They have really delicious desserts, especially the Rasmalai is a must try.

Great Indian food in a very posh setting. The diversity of the menu is also very impressive and the staff is very warm and inviting.
