Authentic Turkish · Kampong Gelam
On the corner where Beach Road meets Arab Street — 3 minutes from Sultan Mosque, 5 minutes from Bugis MRT. A family-owned Turkish kitchen serving charcoal kebabs, shawarma, meze and künefe, every day until 1:00am.
From Our Kitchen to Your Table
Arab Street food has been Singapore’s home of Middle-Eastern dining for generations — and LAYALI carries that tradition on the district’s busiest corner. Everything we serve is prepared fresh daily, and the charcoal grill burns from morning until 1:00am every night.
Every dish is prepared fresh daily by our own family kitchen — no shortcuts, no compromise.
Dine steps from the golden dome — perfect before or after an evening exploring the district.
The same grill that defines Turkish cooking — smoke, char and caramelisation in every kebab.
Most Arab Street kitchens close by 11pm. Ours serves the full menu deep into the night.
What to Order
Hand-minced Adana, shish and lamb chops over real charcoal fire — the signature of Arab Street dining.
Chicken or meat slow-roasted on the vertical spit, shaved fresh onto warm bread or platters.
Hummus, ezme, haydari and vine leaves — the perfect way to start a long Kampong Gelam evening.
Canoe-shaped Turkish pide and Arabic bread, baked to order and served still steaming.
Sizzling cheese künefe crowned with pistachio, and daily-batch baklava — Singapore favourites.
Cezve-brewed coffee and endless tulip glasses of çay — the traditional full stop.
