About Lukumades

Bringing the magic of Greek street food to Singapore, Lukumades opened its doors at 60 Arab Street in early 2024, marking the Australian doughnut chain first foray into Southeast Asia. This 100% Muslim-owned establishment has introduced Singaporeans to loukoumades - bite-sized Greek doughnut balls that have been enjoyed in Greece for centuries - now reimagined with modern flavours and premium toppings that cater to contemporary tastes.

What makes Lukumades special is their commitment to inclusivity without compromising on indulgence. The doughnuts are entirely vegan on their own, yet taste decadently rich when paired with the 18 available flavour combinations inspired by popular desserts and chocolate bars like Kinder Bueno, Twix, Snickers, and Nutella. Priced from .50 for a half tray of five balls to 2 for a full tray of 10, these hand-crafted treats are both accessible and Instagram-worthy. The menu extends beyond doughnuts to include artisanal gelato in flavours like Pistachio, Salted Caramel, and Mango Passion Sorbet at per scoop.

Operating from 9am to 10pm Sunday through Thursday, and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, this halal-certified establishment on Arab Street has quickly become a favourite among dessert enthusiasts seeking unique sweet treats in the heart of Kampong Glam.

Understanding Halal Status Types in Singapore

MUIS Halal Certified

The establishment has passed the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore's official halal audit. This is the gold standard for halal assurance — food sourcing, preparation, storage, and handling are all verified by MUIS inspectors.

Muslim-Owned

The establishment is owned and operated by Muslims. While not formally MUIS-certified, Muslim ownership provides trust as the proprietors are accountable under Islamic principles. Many popular Singapore eateries are Muslim-owned without MUIS certification.

No Pork, No Lard

The establishment does not serve pork or use lard in cooking, but may not have formal halal certification. This is common in food courts where individual stalls have different halal statuses. Always check for a displayed MUIS certificate at each stall.
