Bumbu Restaurant

I had hold a dinner with my family for our 2 visiting overseas relatives from Oman on 12/9/2026 at Bumbu Kandahar restaurant. The restaurant was unquiely decorated with antiques with a taste of Peranakan. A family friendly orientated environment. Our guests have commended that the food served were delicious, sumptous and plentiful. Food portions were good. Pricing were reasonable too. Staff were attentive and polite. Sincere thanks to Ms. Hui Jie, my guests left the restaurant happy after the dinner. Compliments to the chefs. Thanks again.

Personable and dedicated service staff who made the entire dining experience very comfortable and homely. Overall, the dishes in terms of quality, portion, and price point are pretty good, I enjoy their chicken dish the most. Beef rendang and Nonya Chap chye are not bad, steamed seabass is average (and quite highly priced for the portion size). Desserts are not great, wish the menu is more extensive too.

Bumbu has always been our go-to place for meetups because it’s halal, the food is decent, and the ambience is charming. I’ve always liked their tahu telor and beef rendang — both were usually rich and flavourful. However, when I visited recently, I noticed that the flavours weren’t as strong as before. It’s a little disappointing since this place used to be consistently good. That said, because of its nice atmosphere and good track record, my friends and I will probably give it another try the next time we meet.

Came for lunch without booking on a weekend, managed to snag the last available table! Please do make booking if you plan to come on weekends! The place is so quaint! A lot of Peranakan inspired interior decor. Two of us had the beef rendand, chap chye and ayam buah keluak. White rice is free flow! The beef rendang was tender and spot on for flavour. The chap chye was ok. The ayam buah keluak is lighter in taste compared to other buah keluaks I had. No pork peranakan dishes as this place is Halal. The decor is really nice!

Great peranakan food in Kampong Glam! It really brings back my memories about food in my hometown. Really love the beef rendang, green curry chicken, and bihun. Lovely interior ❤️

Really comforting dishes and all the dishes are really done well! My favourites for tonight were their Tauhu telor, fried meesua, soft shell crab.. Will definitely come back to try more! Restaurant atmosphere was really nice too and staff were efficient and friendly. Definitely somewhere great to bring friends, families and colleagues :)

came here for a corporate lunch with indonesians - food was delicious! will say the desserts were just average & less sweet than options elsewhere. overall satisfactory meal :)

Thank you to the Bumbu team and Ms Cheng for allowing my friend and I to order a variety of dishes but in half portions. My friend was visiting Singapore for the first time and I wanted her to be able to try a variety, but knew we would not be able to finish the full portions. Bumbu kindly accommodated our request and we had a great experience. My friend loved the coffee chicken in particular.
