Shakira's has operated since 1995, initially establishing themselves as meat suppliers providing fresh chilled products to restaurants, businesses and markets across Singapore. Their tagline "Ini Barulah Dam Briyani!" announces their signature dish, authentic dam biryani prepared according to traditional methods that set them apart in Singapore's competitive biryani landscape.
In 2008, the business expanded significantly, rebranding as Shakira's Butchery and Wedding Services to reflect their diversification into comprehensive event catering. This evolution positioned them to provide complete wedding packages encompassing dais setup, DJ services, catering menus and bridal services under one organisational umbrella. Their dam biryani became a popular choice for wedding feasts and special functions, prepared at scale through their central kitchen facility.
Located at Tampines Mart, the restaurant serves walk-in customers seeking their signature biryani alongside their continued supply business. An online shop enables home delivery, addressing customers preferring to enjoy their food at home. The business trajectory from wholesale meat supplier to full-service restaurant and wedding caterer demonstrates successful vertical integration, controlling ingredients from sourcing through final preparation. For eastern region residents seeking authentic dam biryani or families planning Malay weddings requiring comprehensive services, Shakira's delivers decades of experience across both immediate dining needs and major life celebrations.
