One of the restaurants that me and DEAR went during the early days of our dating-ship (got such word meh? haha) was Nabins restaurant located at Arab St. If i can remember correctly, they started out wiv only one unit at 27 Bali Lane. Nabins serves Middle Eastern cuisine such as Hummus, Falafels etc but they also have western snacks like fries, calamari rings etc. I like the ambience of the restaurant, very cosy fine dining area. But the downside, this restaurant serves alcoholic drinks too :S that is why it is not Halal certified.
Think early this year or late last year, we happened to come across another Nabins outlet at 32 Sultan Gate. Its like those big old 2 storey houses near the Kampong Glam area. Oh lala!..i totally loved the ambience of the new outlet. 1st level was the bedding seats. Its like a huge sofa/bed. It feels like a King n Queen sitting on the bedding..haha..2nd level was more of sit-on-the-carpet-floor kind..its great for gatherings. They even have a stage. Think on weekend nites they have some belly dancers performing..heheh...subsequently, the 1st outlet at Bali Lane extended. From one unit, now it became 2-3 units. U can choose to sit at the fine dining area, sit on the floor, sit outside..
The first time we went there, we tried the mushroom soup (sorry pic unavailable..forgot to snap), onion rings & seafood platter that consist of Fries, Calamari Rings, Scallop (or was it nuggets?) and some other stuffs (pic below). Not bad! Price range for the food is from S$5 for single dish or snack to S$70+ for platters (will explain later y is it so expensive!) So juz check out the pics ok.

The 2nd time we went, we tried this dish – Mandhi Roasted Lamb(MRL). Sumtg like your Briyani!..portion was HUGE!..ok..its meant for 2 people. Served in a round serving tray wiv some fries or wedges, some green stuffs (like salad but its more of cucumber,onions, carrots or cherry tomatoes). And also Potato Boat (which DEAR called it “musiboat”..haha). Its baked potato wiv cheese i think. We totally fall in love wiv MRL. Its yummylicious! Another time we tried MRL at the Sultan Gate outlet but i was disappointed coz its juz not the same as the one at Bali Lane. Rice tasted abit uncook and the gravy..well..its juz different..but the other time we came wiv Ilah & Esa and the recent visit there to break our fast, it tastes better J
