Nefertiti Restaurant & Cafe

Nefertiti Restaurant & Cafe brings the flavors of Egypt and the Mediterranean to Singapore's historic Arab Street, located at No. 47 Arab Street in the Rochor district. Named after the famous Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, this restaurant has been serving the Kampong Glam area for quite some time, offering a diverse menu that extends well beyond traditional Egyptian and Middle Eastern cuisine.

The restaurant operates with generous hours: 12:00pm to 11:30pm Monday through Thursday, 12:00pm to 2:00am on Fridays and Saturdays, and 12:00pm to 11:30pm on Sundays. This extended schedule makes it a convenient option for late-night dining, particularly on weekends when the Arab Street area comes alive with visitors exploring Singapore's Muslim heritage quarter.

While Nefertiti offers authentic Egyptian and Mediterranean dishes like Wraps, Kebabs, Mandi Rice, Assorted Grilled Meats, Baklava, and Turkish Coffee for traditionalists, Executive Chef Amr Elgohary has deliberately expanded the menu to include Western favorites such as Fish and Chips, Fajitas, Pizzas, and Pastas. This approach provides alternative options while maintaining high quality across all offerings.

The menu spans Pizza, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Egyptian cuisines, with prices ranging from $4 to $11, making it accessible for casual dining. Reviewers particularly recommend starting with the Nefertiti Mixed Mezza Platter, which provides a sampler of various Mediterranean appetizers. The Kunafa, described as "an amazing dessert made of baked cheese in sugar syrup," receives special mention, along with the Nefertiti Seafood Fried Rice which reviewers call "beyond amazing."

Customer reviews on TripAdvisor show a 3.0 rating based on 13 reviews, with mixed feedback suggesting inconsistent experiences. The restaurant's location near Sultan Mosque places it in the heart of Singapore's most culturally significant Muslim neighborhood, making it a natural dining option for those exploring the area's rich heritage and vibrant street life.
