Victory Restaurant stands as one of Singapore's oldest Indian Muslim eateries, serving traditional cuisine since 1910 from its historic location at 701 North Bridge Road in Arab Street, directly across from the famous Sultan Mosque. For over a century, this family-run establishment has specialized in authentic murtabak and biryani, earning its place as a pioneer in popularizing these beloved dishes in Singapore.
The restaurant's claim to fame rests on their Special Singapore Murtabak, prepared using a family recipe passed down through generations. This stuffed flatbread features fillings of beef, mutton, or chicken, seasoned with the family's secret spice blend and served with two gravy sides and cucumber. Even the smallest murtabak provides an ample meal, representing exceptional value in the heart of Arab Street. The menu also features various biryani options starting at a plate, showcasing the aromatic rice dishes that have made this style of cooking famous.
Currently operated by Mr Gazali Edikilakath, the grandson of the original founder, Victory Restaurant maintains strong ties to its heritage while planning to pass the business to the next generation. Located as a neighbor to another famous murtabak restaurant Zam Zam, Victory holds its own with distinctive flavors developed over 110+ years of operation. For those seeking authentic Indian Muslim cuisine in historic surroundings with recipes perfected across multiple generations, Victory Restaurant delivers a genuine taste of Singapore's culinary heritage.
