"Endorsed as the pioneer for South Indian curry fish head, the joint has achieved many accolades since starting out in 1969. The signature Fish Head Curry ($22/$27/$32) packs a punch with the seamless fusion of its tangy curry, tender fish head, pineapple bits and okra."

Gregory Leow

"The curry spices are properly fried with no hint of a powdery texture and it is the spiciest among all the fish head curries on this list. The taste has a robust savoury flavour which is tamed with just enough tamarind to give it an extra dimension."

The Ranting Panda

"Fragrant, fresh fish, manageable spiciness, and the myraid of other ingredients in this hotpot, makes it amongst the best I have had in a long while."

Derrick Tan

"The fish head is cooked in an array of aromatic spices and the fish is still soft and moist. The fact that this dish is still on the menu for the past 24 years shows how this dish is being celebrated as an iconic Singapore dish."

Nathanael Chan

"Started in 1969, Muthu’s Curry offers a spicier take on the popular fish head curry that we all love. They specialize in curry and are famous for their authentic and flavourful curry."

Prianka Ghosh

"One of Singapore’s most famous restaurants for the dish, they serve their succulently spiced food on banana leaves with sides of basmati rice and papadums."

Lindsay Moceiwai

"Serving their fish head on banana leaves with a side of basmati rice and crispy papadum, it’s clear that Muthu’s Curry’s swanky Dempsey branch still upholds the good ol’ traditions of Indian cuisine."

Tracy Chang

"The fish head was fresh, tender, juicy and aromatic throughout; the creamy, luscious curry broth had penetrated it entirely. The curry packed just enough spice and heat–not so much to make my shins sweat."

Li Rong

"How can you not order the Curry Fish Head when at Muthu's?! If you don't already know, Muthu's Curry is the pioneer of Curry Fish Head in Singapore!"

Arin Tan

"The curry spices in this are properly fried till perfection. Spicy lovers, this dish would be one of the spiciest fish head curry you’ve ever tasted! And it’ll be worth every sweat."
