Eminami operates as a halal Vietnamese restaurant at 46 Kandahar Street, Singapore 198898, in the heart of Kampong Glam near Sultan Mosque, bringing authentic Vietnamese cuisine to Singapore's Muslim community since opening as Bistro Eminami on March 3, 2023. The restaurant is owned by Emina Abdullah, a Muslim Vietnamese native who moved to Singapore nearly eight years ago with a mission to introduce authentic halal Vietnamese food to the local dining scene. Her personal connection to Vietnamese culture and Islamic dietary requirements ensures that traditional Vietnamese flavors are preserved while maintaining strict halal certification standards.
The restaurant specializes in authentic Vietnamese dishes with their signature Classic Pho Bo (4.90) being a standout item, featuring beef soup that is meticulously simmered overnight with over 25 ingredients to achieve the complex, rich flavors that define traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Other popular menu items include their crowd-favorite Beef Patty Banh Mi (2.90), Skewered Chicken Dry Noodles (3.90), and Prawn Yam Salad (3.90), alongside authentic Vietnamese coffee that provides the complete cultural dining experience. The menu showcases the diversity of Vietnamese cuisine while ensuring all ingredients and preparation methods comply with halal requirements.
Operating daily from 10 AM to 10 PM (closed on Mondays), Eminami has established itself as a popular destination in Kampong Glam's vibrant food scene, offering both dine-in experiences and delivery services through their website. The restaurant's strategic location in the culturally rich Kampong Glam district, combined with authentic Vietnamese flavors adapted for halal dining, has made it a unique addition to Singapore's diverse culinary landscape. Eminami successfully bridges the gap between traditional Vietnamese cuisine and Islamic dietary requirements, providing Muslim diners and Vietnamese food enthusiasts with an authentic taste of Vietnam in a comfortable, culturally sensitive environment.
