Firangi Superstar, the modern Indian restaurant along Craig Road known for its cinematic flair and fearless flavours, ushers in a new chapter with a refreshed menu of creative debuts and beloved returning favourites. Inspired by India's diverse culinary regions, each dish here is vibrant, layered, and imaginative, offering thoughtful vegetarian alternatives for most plates to cater to all dietary preferences.
Papi’s Jammed Gun 4/5
Papi's Jammed Gun ($29) pairs wagyu beef tartare with crispy papdi, finished with caviar, grated egg, and Firangi's signature gunpowder spice for a punchy, umami-rich bite. The vegetarian version swaps in beetroot tartare and Moai Caviar, delivering the same savoury depth without the meat. It is an excellent introduction to their modern Indian approach.
Big Baller Peperoner 4.2/5
A playful reimagination of the classic paneer Manchurian, the Big Baller Peperoner ($28) features a golden-brown burrata sphere atop tangy, umami-packed Manchurian chilli sauce. The combination of creamy indulgence and bold spice makes this fusion dish both comforting and exciting.
This is Also Not Aloo Gobi 3.5/5
Firangi's twist on the traditional cauliflower-and-potato Aloo Gobi ($18) swaps in bite-sized Romanesco Cauliflower over a spiced potato foam, finished with crispy potato strips and a dusting of aromatic spices. While visually appealing, it leans more subtle in flavour compared to the other bolder offerings.
The Nut Kraken 4.2/5
Octopus cooked pollichathu-style, marinated in spices, wrapped in banana leaf, and grilled to smoky perfection – is served over a sweet, smoky gravy with banana leaf oil and crispy coconut chips for texture. The Nut Kraken ($32) strikes a nice balance between spice, smokiness, and freshness.
The Bengal Bake Off 5/5
My highlight of the night, The Bengal Bake Off ($108), features tender seabass baked in salt dough with a creamy Kasundi marinade. The mustard's bright tang, mellowed by cream and lifted with aromatic banana leaf oil, brings depth and layers of flavour that linger beautifully on the palate. A smart, brilliant pairing that elevates the dish to star status.
Back In The Saddle 4.5/5
Naan 4.2/5
A returning crowd favourite, Back In The Saddle ($21 per 100g) is Tandoori-spiced lamb cooked until tender, infused with confit garlic and fragrant curry leaves. The sauce is rich and flavourful – perfect for scooping up with Firangi’s signature naans, which have a satisfying chew and char.
Rasmalai “Tres Leches” 4.2/5
The Rasmalai "Tres Leches" ($16) is an inventive dessert that sees layers of cake soaked in rose-saffron cream, topped with pistachios and served with a scoop of saffron ice cream. It's a fragrant, floral twist on the Latin American classic.
Banoffee Fritters 4.5/5
A playful nod to local goreng pisang, the Banoffee Fritters ($14) feature churros-style crunch with crisp spring roll pastry filled with banana mousse, coated in dark spiced chocolate, and plated with crushed Parle-G biscuits for extra crunch. Comforting, nostalgic, yet refined.
Firangi Superstar’s refreshed menu keeps its signature flair intact while adding clever new creations that span the spectrum from playful to elegant. Whether you’re here for a bold, spice-laden main or a quirky dessert that channels local flavours, this cinematic Indian dining experience continues to deliver both style and substance.
