About Oud Restaurant
<img src="/images/places/best-halal-restaurants-singapore/oud-restaurant.jpg" alt="Oud Restaurant" className="w-full rounded-lg my-4 object-cover" style={{height: "300px"}} /> Oud Restaurant, operating from Kandahar Street in the heart of Singapore's Arab Quarter, is the premier Middle Eastern halal restaurant singapore-wide โ a specialist operation that brings the depth and complexity of Levantine and Arabian cuisine to a Singapore market where Middle Eastern halal food has historically been underserved relative to its deserved prominence. With 1,193 Google reviews at 4.7 stars, Oud occupies a specific and important niche: for diners who want oud-scented ambience, mezze platters built with genuine care, slow-roasted meats prepared with the patience the cuisine demands, and a dining atmosphere that feels authentically Middle Eastern rather than vaguely themed, Oud Restaurant is without a comparable alternative among halal restaurants in Singapore. The Kandahar Street location places Oud in ideal proximity to the Sultan Mosque and the broader Arab Quarter neighbourhood, making it a natural choice for visitors to the area as well as a destination restaurant for diners specifically seeking this cuisine type. The kitchen handles both the cold mezze section โ hummus, baba ghanoush, fattoush, kibbeh โ and the hot meat dishes with equal conviction, and the restaurant's namesake fragrance infuses the dining room with an atmosphere that is genuinely distinctive.

Customer Review
"Oud Restaurant is a genuine culinary destination. The mezze selection is the most authentic I have found outside the Levant, and the slow-roasted lamb is prepared with the patience that distinguishes real Middle Eastern cooking from its imitations. For Middle Eastern halal food in Singapore, Oud is in a category of its own."
