Mr Teh Tarik Cartel is a family-friendly halal seafood restaurant that has grown from a single outlet to over twenty locations across Singapore, specializing in authentic local zi char dishes with their signature curry fish head, BBQ stingray, and fresh satay being among their all-time customer favorites. As part of the extensive Mr Teh Tarik group established since the early days of Singapore's food scene, this brand focuses on delivering traditional Singaporean flavors in a comfortable dining environment suitable for families and groups.
Their comprehensive menu combines classic zi char seafood preparations with beloved local dishes including halal-certified Indian and Malay specialties such as Roti Prata, Chapatti, Nasi Lemak, Curry Chicken, and Mutton Briyani, alongside their famous beverage selection featuring Teh Tarik, Kopi Tarik, Ice Teh Limau, and Ice Bandung that have become customer staples. The restaurant has earned recognition for serving curry chicken with a thicker, full-flavored profile compared to typical watery curries, with their coin prata being a popular accompaniment.
With locations including SAFRA Choa Chu Kang where members enjoy 10% discounts, and some outlets operating 24 hours to serve the late-night dining community, Mr Teh Tarik Cartel maintains accessibility and convenience while preserving authentic local flavors. Their commitment to halal certification ensures Muslim families can enjoy traditional zi char dining experiences, while their extensive operating hours and multiple locations make them a reliable choice for both casual meals and family gatherings across Singapore's diverse neighborhoods.

This was our first visit to your restaurant, and unfortunately, it will also be our last. The service experience was disappointing:
- All the staff appeared tired and lacked energy, with no engagement with customers.
- We ordered three dishes, but only two were served. After waiting almost 20 minutes, we asked about the missing dish (satays) to confirm if the order had been taken. The service staff simply nodded her head to indicate that the order was taken.
- We waited another 15 minutes and asked again. Only then did the service staff check with the kitchen and realize that the dish had not even been prepared. The restaurant was not even crowded at that time, with only three tables occupied.
We decided to cancel the order. Throughout this experience, there was no apology or acknowledgment from the staff regarding the mistake.
To improve your business, I strongly suggest training your staff in basic customer service skills — especially in communication, attentiveness, and taking ownership of mistakes. A simple smile would also go a long way, as customers come here to enjoy a meal.

The food was acceptable, but the service from most of the female servers was extremely poor. We had to call them directly, even when they were standing right in front of us, before they would attend to our table. One server, wearing a tudung, behaved unprofessionally by walking with an exaggerated posture while taking orders. This is unacceptable and reflects badly on the establishment. Management should address the conduct of the female servers, as their attitude is disappointing. The only exceptions were the male server, who was very polite, and the table cleaner, who was equally courteous.

Went here on Friday night around 10 PM. The crowd was reasonable and the place was okay. We ordered fried rice, hotplate chicken, and Hokkien noodles. The rice and noodles were tasty, but the hotplate chicken was just average. Service could be improved; there were two female servers who didn’t seem very proactive. They appeared more focused on their phones and chatting with each other than attending to customers.

The food selection and price are reasonable, except for the consistency of the satay sauce. At times it's thick and tasty, but today it was watery and lacked taste. This isn't the first time.

Just got a takeaway of their Beef Fried Rice. I wanted an extra portion of their belacan chilli, but was told I needed to pay extra for it. The price of the fried rice is already $9+, yet they can't spare an extra packet of chilli?

Overall, the food was very nice. However, the drinks were served in very thick disposable plastic cups. I would prefer if they were served in normal glasses unless we specifically ask for takeaway.
This place is very similar to Rasa Istemewa at CCK Park, which I am very sure most of the residents here also missed. It's also a really good supper spot.
I rated this 4 stars because we had to pay $1.20 for every top-up of the satay peanut gravy. The taste is really good though.

The food was tasty and well-cooked. The satay was delicious, and the sauce is one of the best I've had. The seafood hor fun had that authentic wok hei, was yummy, and as good as the non-halal versions. The teh tarik was also shiok!

It's a nice place to chill. I had a nice Teh O Iced, whereas my friend had a Limau I Hot. Both were good. The ambience here was not bad – well-ventilated and cool. Service here was prompt and could be friendlier.

Wasn’t expecting much, but the food quality here is delicious! The seafood fried noodles come with real fish, sotong, and prawn, none of the fishcake nonsense some places serve. The taste of the stir-fried food we ordered is top-notch and well-seasoned.
