Best murtabak in Singapore
While roti prata is highly regarded as one of Singapore’s beloved national dishes, murtabak is almost just as popular. For the uninitiated, it’s like prata, but stuffed with savoury minced meat and egg, served with curry gravy. There are also murtabak manis, though these are less commonly found here. Whichever it is you’re looking for, here’s our guide to 11 best murtabak stalls in Singapore.

Open around the clock daily, Julaiha Muslim Restaurant is a supper spot you should definitely try. The 10-minute walk from Tai Seng MRT Station is worth it when you finally dig into their murtabak, which reviews have commended for its consistent quality.

Many customers order the Mutton (from $8) version, that’s said to be crispy on the outside, with a filling of tender, richly flavoured meat. Another good option is Chicken (from $8), accented with onion. Otherwise, you can try their Sardine (from $7), which goes well with their spicy curry dip.

Crowd favourite Zam Zam Restaurant is one of the oldest restaurants in Singapore today, since their founding in 1908, with more than 7,000 Google reviews to their name. They’re open from 7am to 11pm every day, so you could have their murtabak for breakfast and supper.

Most murtabak come with standard fillings of mutton, chicken, and such, but at Zam Zam, you’ll be able to order one filled with Deer (from $12) meat, which is said to have a richer, meatier flavour. If you want a more classic choice, go instead for Mutton (from $7), Chicken (from $6), or Tuna (from $9).

7. Mr & Mrs Mohgan Super Crispy Roti Prata

One for the Easties, Mr & Mrs Mohgan Super Crispy Roti Prata is renowned for their popular crispy prata, with waiting times easily surpassing an hour on weekends. Lesser known, but no less tasty, are their murtabak options, of which they have two. Be sure to head down early as they sell out really quick.
If you didn’t know, Mrs Mohgan is the only one running the stall now, after her husband passed away early last year. Nonetheless, her Mutton ($8) murtabak is still well-reviewed, and stars the same crisp dough as their famous prata. Otherwise, opt for Sardine ($7) if you prefer something with fish.
Address: 300 Joo Chiat Road, Tin Yeang Restaurant, Singapore 427551
Opening hours: Sun-Tue 6:30am to 1:30pm, Thurs-Fri 6:30am to 1:30pm

On the pricier end of things is Casuarina Curry, which has gained recognition for being one of the best prata places in Singapore. Reviews suggest they fare just as well in their murtabak. Within their extensive menu, a standout item on Casuarina Curry’s Chef’s Innovation series is Ultimate Power Murtabak (from $10.50), which comprises spiced tandoori chicken, mozzarella, and portobello mushroom.

Otherwise, their most popular, classic murtabak are Mutton (from $8) and Chicken (from $8). You can also top up $1 to add cheese in your murtabak, or $2 for both cheese and mushrooms.

11. Smile Murtabak

For those of us with a sweet tooth, there’s Smile Murtabak, which specialises in using premium ingredients to make sweet murtabak. Unlike the roti prata-like savoury versions, these sweet murtabak are more similar to min jiang kueh.
Try their Ondeh-Ondeh Special, where a thick pandan pancake is stuffed with palm sugar and coconut flakes. Alternatively, go for their Original Choco-Cheese, for pancake spread with melted chocolate and cheddar cheese. Both of these are now priced at $5.95 each (U.P. $7.45) for fun-sized portions.

For durian lovers, they also have Durian murtabak, with prices from $6.65 (U.P. $8.15) for a fun-sized portion. This murtabak stars creamy durian flesh, in your choice of D24 or Mao Shan Wang, sandwiched in a charcoal pancake.
