In a city obsessed with hunting down the next big food craze, Singapore’s real magic often lies in the places nobody is talking about yet. Tucked above the bustle of our colourful Little India, Gully Restaurant & Garden is one of those under-the-radar gems locals stumble upon by accident. The quiet rooftop hidden on Level 5 of the Holiday Inn Singapore is the kind of spot you only hear about through word-of-mouth—yet it serves delicious modern Indian street food in a breezy poolside garden with stunning city views. Here’s what we know about Gully Restaurant & Garden.
Is this Little India’s best hidden rooftop food gem?
The five-star reviewed restaurant turns a quick meal into a mini Indian escape far from the usual tourist traps. Diners can expect to tuck into delightful small plates and hearty Indian bites that reimagine chaat, kebabs, and tandoori flavours—instead of the classic heavy curries.
The beautiful indoor dining room channels the narrow alleys of Indian with vibrant colours and a social, tapas-style menu designed for sharing. Interestingly, diners have described the high-quality meals as a sensory-rich journey through India’s diverse food culture, with bold spice profiles, and playful textures.
Menu highlights include signature tacos such as Smoked Paneer and Chicken, garlic naan bread, a range of curries, and unique desserts like Gulab Jamun. These go excellently paired with special cocktails, wines, and spirits.
Meanwhile, there’s an alfresco Gully Garden where tables are set around the pool and bar. This makes it a relaxing spot for sunset sessions and late dinners as Little India’s neon glow flickers in the distance.
Wonderfully, Gully Restaurant is open daily from lunch to late dinner, and it’s quietly becoming a favourite in Little India among those who know of it.
