It doesn’t matter what time of the day it is, but don’t you just love having a crispy, fluffy piece of prata? The best way to find out if the prata is good is to eat the kosong (plain) one! There are many factors that affect the quality of prata. From the dough, to the flipping, to the introduction of oil and even to the temperature of the frying pan. We’ve tracked down 15 popular prata stalls in Singapore for you!
Mr and Mrs Mohgan’s Super Crispy Roti Prata
Mr Mohgan has been making prata for more than 30 years. He makes his own dough, cooks the curry and flips the prata all by himself. Moderately thick and pan fried till a beautiful brown, the pratas here are fresh and SUPER CRISPY. They have 3 types of curry – mutton, fish and dhal. Let them know in advance which curry you will like to have, upon ordering. If not, you will be given dhal which has the right consistency.

Opening Hours: 6.30am to 1.30pm. Closed on Tuesday & Wednesday of the 3rd week of the month.
ENAQ
Each piece of plain prata costs $1 at Enaq. The dough is made daily before being pan-fried till a golden brown. The prata carries a buttery aroma, is wonderfully crisp on the outside, and fluffy inside. It’s not as oily as the prata(s) you get elsewhere. The prata tastes even more heavenly when you dip it into the special sambal chilli and curry.
ENAQ

Phone: 6899 0842

R K Eating House
This humongous and value-for-money Tissue Prata ($5.50) is good for 3-4 people. You can choose to top it with strawberry or chocolate sauce, maple syrup or honey. The tissue prata is really crispy. The prata dough is kneaded to perfection before it was cooked to a perfect golden brown.
R K Eating House
Address: 1 Kensington Park Road, Singapore 557253
Opening Hours: 24 hours daily.
Sin Ming Roti Prata (Faisal & Aziz Curry)
Owner Haj Mohammed used to run his stall at Cluny Court in the 80s before making Sin Ming his new home. As age is catching up, Haj is now assisted by his son, Almali Faisal. Using a secret recipe passed down from Haj’s father, the prata recipe has been tweaked a little by reducing the amount of sugar used. This makes his prata crispier.
Sin Ming Roti Prata (Faisal & Aziz Curry)
Address: #01-51, Blk 24 Sin Ming Road, Singapore 570024
Opening Hours: 7am to 6pm.
Rahmath Cheese Prata
The owner, Mr Ali, learnt the art of prata-making from a friend many years ago and opened his first shop in Ang Mo Kio. He moved to Toa Payoh 11 years ago. Rahmath is the name of his grandfather. From the signboard, we know that cheese prata is their signature item but we prefer their plain and egg prata. The portion is generous and the outer layer is more doughy and soft.
Rahmath Cheese Prata
Address: 74 Lorong 4 Toa Payoh, Singapore 310074
Opening Hours: Tue-Sun 6am to 4pm. Closed on Mondays.
Al-Ameen Eating Corner
We ordered a whole load of prata for breakfast, including prata kosong, egg prata and prata with egg and onion. The prata is not super crispy, but more on the doughy side. What we enjoyed is the coin prata with mutton curry. The prata dough is shaped into a circle and pan fried till it is crispy. The mutton cubes were tender, not gamey and accompanied by a shiok curry sauce.
Al-Ameen Eating Corner
Address: #01-11, 35 Marsiling Industrial Estate Road 3, Singapore 739257
Opening Hours: 24 hours.
The Prata Place @ Springleaf
Springleaf has a tranquil vibe, and sitting here with a plate, or many plates, of prata and a cup of teh tarik from The Prata Place may just be the perfect start to a nice morning. The Plain (Kosong) Prata is absolutely delicious! It arrived piping hot and is crispy on the outside, while fluffy on the inside. Plus, it is not oily at all. They certainly managed the heat well.

Opening Hours: 7am to 12midnight.
Sixth Avenue Briyani Specialist
With more than 28 years of history, this stall still lives up to its reputation for serving very good Nasi Briyani. However, you’ll have to make do with their prata in the mornings as briyani is only sold after 10.30am. We tried their plain prata and egg prata ($2.70 in total). Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, the prata here hits all the right spots.

Mobile: 8152 4561
Opening Hours: 6.30am to 10pm daily.
Casuarina Curry Restaurant
Prata enthusiasts would flock here for their signature mushroom cheese prata. Casuarina is located near the Lower Pierce Reservoir, so you may occasionally stumble upon monkeys playing along the perimeter of the reservoir. The plain prata goes for a dollar a piece. For $2, you get to enjoy a gratifying meal with simple, tasty curry.

The Roti Prata House
There are many supper spots along Upper Thomson, and this prata stall is always packed on weekends. Instead of the usual savoury prata, we opted for a dessert prata featuring two contrasting flavours – sweet and savoury. Their usual plain prata is crispy, but the Milo Cheese Prata ($4) is a tad soggy and too soft.
The Roti Prata House
Address: 246 Upper Thomson Road, Singapore 574370
Phone: 6459 5260
Opening Hours: Mon-Thu & Sun 7am to 2am. Fri 24 hours, till Sat 12 midnight.
Niqqi’s – The Cheese Prata Shop
As its name suggests, this Indian-Muslim supper spot is famous for its cheese prata. We ordered a Double Cheese ($4.50) prata and was impressed by the creamy richness of the melted cheese enveloped within the crispy prata skin. Each bite was gratifying, especially when you’re a cheese lover! The egg prata ($1.50) was prepared very well too. Each mouthful was filled with eggy goodness.

Opening Hours: 24 hours daily.
Mr. Prata
The Italian prata ($8) was generously filled with mutton, mushroom, capsicum, onion and cheese. Some bites were creamier while others gave a good crunch. We actually thought we were having pizza instead. Those with a sweet tooth can go for the French & Ice Cream Prata ($5) where the traditional prata is filled with banana slices and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.

Thasevi Food – Famous Jalan Kayu Prata Restaurant
The Paper Prata ($1.80) and Prata Bom ($3.30) are rumoured to be famous, so we decided to go for these. The former was super crispy and as thin as paper, no kidding! The latter, on the other hand, was thicker and less crispy but we enjoyed its fluffiness and the sweetness from condensed milk and butter.

Opening Hours: 24 hours daily.
Thohirah Cafeela Restaurant
Looking for a 24hours eatery around the North/North-East area? Thohirah Cafeela is here to satisfy that hunger pang of yours no matter what time of the day it is. Their extensive menu features Halal items with Chinese, Thai, Indian and even Seafood flavours. We had a fluffy egg prata ($2) which contained a super generous portion of egg.

Address: 258 Jalan Kayu, Singapore 799487
Opening Hours: 24 hours daily.
Al-Azhar
There are many eateries along Cheong Chin Nam Road which open till the wee hours, and Al-Azhar is the one that’s always bustling. We had the plain prata at $1.10 per piece, egg prata ($1.80), and cheese prata ($3.20). The prata is alright, but we guess the quantity of items offered by Al-Azhar makes up for its quality. However, the curry accompanying the prata is good and well-packed with Indian spices.
