The short answer

Shivam Restaurant: what visitors should know first

Go if you want Gujarati food, or if you need Jain meals made without onion and garlic. Its site says pure vegetarian but does not mention egg, so we tag Jain on request and Indian, not Pure Veg.

Why it matters

Why Shivam Restaurant is worth your time

Gujarati and Jain food is harder to find in Singapore than South Indian vegetarian food, which makes Shivam useful for families from western India. Our sources describe the restaurant's own offer of Jain meals without onion and garlic, alongside its general Gujarati and North Indian menu.

The restaurant's address is given as 87 Syed Alwi Road on its own site. One other guide lists a different street number on Race Course Road, so check the address on a map before leaving, as with any listing.

How to experience it

The site lists a Gujarati thali, North Indian dishes, Indo-Chinese and fusion vegetarian dishes. It also offers vegetarian bento boxes and Diwali mithai boxes, and catering that includes Jain and Gujarati options. Start with the thali if you want a spread, and ask the staff which dishes suit your family.

The restaurant says it offers Jain food with no onion and no garlic. Treat this as made to order: phone ahead, state your requirement clearly, and ask about root vegetables as well, since the site only mentions onion and garlic. The kitchen is not described as Jain only, so it is not a strictly Jain kitchen.

The site calls the restaurant pure vegetarian but does not mention egg, so if egg is a concern confirm it with the staff. Syed Alwi Road makes it easy to combine lunch with shopping at Mustafa Centre.

Plan with confidence

Small checks that make a better meal.

  • Phone ahead for Jain dishes
  • Confirm the address on a map
  • Ask about root vegetables as well
  • Check egg use with the staff
