In a city like Singapore, where good food is everywhere, it takes something truly distinctive to stand out. The Prince, located on Peck Seah Street, does just that. This modern Middle Eastern restaurant blends centuries-old tradition with contemporary flavour—delivering bold, vibrant dishes that are both comforting and refined.

Previously known as Fat Prince, the restaurant has stepped confidently into a new identity. Today, it’s one of the most compelling destinations for Middle Eastern food in Singapore, offering an elegant space to unwind, eat well, and reconnect—with others or just yourself.

Here’s why The Prince deserves a spot on your must-visit list.

Creamy labneh, velvety hummus, and smoky baba ghanoush—served with warm, pillowy bread that’s made for scooping.

1. Mezze Worth Lingering Over

A Middle Eastern meal is about more than just food—it’s about generosity, warmth, and a table made to be shared. At The Prince, that spirit starts with a mezze selection that’s as thoughtful as it is delicious.

There’s no fluff here—just genuinely good plates. Labneh is creamy and tangy with black garlic and a subtle chilli flake heat. The baba ghanoush is smoky and silky, balanced by harissa tomato and parsley. The hummus is impossibly smooth, topped with crisp garlic and black sesame for depth and crunchdinner alc.

All of it is made to be scooped up with warm pita or flaky Yemeni malawah bread, and the result is something deeply satisfying. This is how you open a meal: not with noise or novelty, but with balance, care, and flavour that builds.

Where candlelight flickers, conversations flow, and every seat feels like the best one in the house.

2. Dishes Designed to Be Shared

What sets The Prince apart from other Turkish restaurants in Singapore is how it honours tradition while staying playful and creative.

You’ll find familiar ingredients—za’atar, toum, tahini—but arranged in ways that feel exciting. The halloumi arrives sizzling, glazed with truffle honey and za’atar for a salty-sweet finish. The fried cauliflower, a guest favourite, is golden and tender, served with shallot and lemon aioli. Every small plate is a standalone hit, but they really shine when shared around the tabledinner alc.

From flame to table—our skewers are grilled to perfection and packed with spice, smoke, and serious flavour.

Then there are the skewers. The beef skewer is paired with cumin chermoula; the lamb, with mint tzatziki; the chicken, with creamy garlic toum. Each skewer is grilled to perfection—flame-kissed, tender, and packed with flavour—arriving as a generous duo that’s perfect for sharing or doubling down on your favourite.

If you're ready to commit to a main, the whole roasted chicken for two is a showstopper, scented with lemon and za’atar and served with green salad, crispy marble potatoes, and spiced chicken jus. The braised lamb shoulder, gently sweetened with apricots and almonds, is rich without being overwhelming.

3. A Beverage Menu That Breaks the Mold

Whether you’re in the mood for a strong cocktail, a light spritz, or a no-proof sipper, The Prince has you covered. The beverage program is refreshingly inclusive—each drink is labeled as Full Proof, Half Proof, or Zero Proof, allowing you to match your mood with ease.

Try the Sumac 75 if you want something bubbly and bright, or the Three Magi Fizz for a tart-sweet combo of pomegranate, rosé, and sour plum. The Shvil Alexander, made with rum, cacao, chai, tahini, and oat milk, is smooth and indulgent.

Not drinking? The Nadir Mojito is as crisp and cool as any cocktail, with mint, lime, and aloe-grape cordial, while the Heenarita blends turmeric, ginger, and cucumber for something earthy and refreshing.

This is easily one of the most considered drinks menus you’ll find at any Turkish restaurant Singapore has to offer.

4. Dessert That Feels Like a Reward

Too often, dessert is where restaurants phone it in. Not here.

The Prince offers sweets that are grounded in tradition but full of surprise. The baklava ice cream blends almond and orange honey into a scoop that tastes like summer holidays. The ricotta knafeh is golden, warm, and gently floral. The rice pudding is cool and creamy, topped with cherry and coconut sorbet for contrast and liftdinner alc.

It’s dessert that knows how to finish strong—without ever feeling heavy.

5. A Space That Makes You Want to Stay

Stepping into The Prince feels a bit like being transported somewhere else. The interiors are warm and layered—desert-toned walls, cream and taupe seating, rich textiles, and softly glowing lanterns set the mood. It’s chic but unpretentious, inviting but elevated.

During the day, The Prince is bathed in sunlight—bright, open, and easy. It’s the kind of place where lunch can linger. But as night falls, the mood shifts. Candles flicker to life, the music settles into a low, steady rhythm, and the space takes on a quiet intimacy. It feels slower, warmer, like the evening’s just getting started.

It’s the kind of room that makes you slow down. Order that extra skewer. Say yes to dessert. Stay for one more cocktail.

Final Word: A Dining Experience You’ll Want to Repeat

The Prince doesn’t need gimmicks to be special. It offers something rarer: consistency, comfort, and just enough curiosity to keep you coming back. In a city full of choices, this modern Middle Eastern restaurant has carved out a space that’s completely its own.

If you're looking for Middle Eastern food in Singapore that delivers both heart and finesse—or just a night out that feels like a little escape—The Prince is calling.
