Prata is one of those classics that can capture the hearts of both young and old.

Nothing feels more rewarding than to treat yourself with a plate of piping hot and crispy prata. If you have a soft spot for crispy prata, we have rounded off 15 places for crispy prata for you to enjoy with your friends.

If you stay in the Central area you would have probably either tried or heard of Sin Ming Roti Prata. They offer a variety of sweet and savoury prata such as banana prata, strawberry prata, mushroom cheese prata, and sardine prata, and their best-seller would be their Coin Prata ($4.50) which comes in six pieces. The exterior is perfectly crisped and it has a fluffy centre. Pairing it up with sugar will bring the dish to another level. There’s prata for everyone to choose from and do note that their curry has a spicy kick to it.

Mr and Mrs Mohgan’s Super Crispy Roti Prata is a legendary prata place in the middle of Joo Chiat. Expect long queues when you drop by. Their Crispy Plain Prata ($1.30) lives up to its name. Despite being really crispy, it surprisingly retains a soft and fluffy interior so you’ll get the best of both worlds. You might also want to try their Cheese Prata ($2.50) or Egg Onion Prata ($2.40) for more variety in your meal.

A hidden gem would be Crispy Roti Prata. Tucked away in a coffeeshop called Ubi 350, satisfy your craving with their Plain Prata ($1) that delivers a crispy and buttery exterior. Eat this with sugar if you have a sweet tooth like me. For those who prefer savoury dishes, get their Cheese Prata ($1.80) or Egg & Cheese Prata ($2.30)—cheese never disappoints, and combining it with fluffy eggs makes it even more delicious.

The crispy and not too oily Plain Prata ($1.30) from Casuarina Curry is a crowd-favourite. It’s crispy and not too oily. A popular item here would be their Chocolate Prata ($3.50), which is well-liked by kids and teenagers. It is served in an arch shape and drizzled with a generous amount of chocolate sauce and sprinkles. For even more indulgence, get the Ice Cream Prata ($4.50)—the ice cream adds not only more sweetness, but also its soft texture which will contrast the crispy prata wonderfully.

Enaq joined the hipster prata bandwagon with their colourful Milky Gems ($2.80) prata. Filled with condensed milk and M&M’s, you’ll get a mouthful of sweetness paired with the crispy prata. While it’s a prata to try, the cream of the crop here is actually their Plain Prata ($1.40), which requires a minimum order of two pieces. Served piping hot, the thick and dense prata has a good balance of crispiness and fluffiness. Each plate is served with sambal chilli and fish curry.

Mohamed Javed Indian Muslim Food’s crispy and buttery prata is so good that they earned the title of Best Prata at the Halal Awards 2022 in Singapore. The golden-brown Plain Prata ($1.20), accompanied by a slightly sweet and buttery taste, melts in your mouth. Another highlight is the Coin Prata ($4), whose crispy crust and soft insides create a pleasant contrast of textures.

Midas serves up what is possibly the most unique prata on this list. It is undeniably crispy when you bite into it, and yet it is produced by baking the dough, rather than the usual method of frying it. The Golden Baked Roti Prata ($1.40) comes in two flavours, Plain and Spring Onion, and is best with the stall’s fragrant curry, which is a Thai-Indian rendition prepared with 13 ingredients, including pure chicken broth.

Another 24-hour eatery on this list, Julaiha Muslim Restaurant has been around since 1998, and continues to offer up great crispy prata. Their Plain Roti Prata ($1.20) has everything you need from crispy prata—crisp on the outside, soft on the inside—but with slightly more doughiness than most. For something more exciting, you can try the Tissue Prata ($2.50) or Cheese Egg Prata ($3).

Ga-Hock Roti Prata frequently draws long queues to its stall, but it is said that the made-to-order prata are still churned out quickly and excellently. Many have noted that the crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside prata go especially well with the fish curry. Options here include the classic plain Prata ($1.50) and the Prata Double Egg ($2.70) for that extra egginess. Those who enjoy sweet prata can opt for the Prata Strawberry ($2.50).

Niqqi’s The Cheese Prata Shop is primarily known for its cheesy prata, but a reason why they taste so good is their wonderfully crispy textures. Dishes such as the Kaya Cheese ($4.50) and Tomato Cheese ($4.50) prata combine cheese, prata, and other ingredients in creative ways, and are said to consistently have a crispy finish. The fact that this is yet another 24-hour eatery is a plus, too.
