Riverside Indonesian BBQ at Plaza Singapura has established itself as one of Singapore's most beloved Indonesian culinary destinations, drawing consistent crowds to the Kopitiam food court on the sixth floor. Located at #06-15/20, this popular hawker stall operates daily from 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM, serving authentic Indonesian barbecue dishes that have earned a stellar 4.7 out of 5 rating with over 100 reviews on food delivery platforms. The restaurant's strategic corner location within the bustling Kopitiam ensures high visibility, with characteristic long queues during peak lunch and dinner hours serving as testament to its exceptional food quality and generous portions.
The signature dish that defines Riverside Indonesian BBQ is their legendary Ayam Panggang (Grilled Chicken Set), featuring a perfectly grilled chicken drumstick or thigh glazed in their proprietary sweet and savory dark sauce that draws inspiration from traditional kecap manis. The .50 complete set includes a tender, char-grilled chicken piece, fluffy omelette, fresh cabbage (additional /bin/bash.80), and a generous portion of aromatic rice drenched in rich curry sauce, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. The smaller .30 version provides exceptional value with rice, soup, omelette, and a large chicken thigh, while grilled fish options cater to seafood preferences. Each dish showcases the distinctive black sauce that has become Riverside's signature, combining sweet, savory, and slightly smoky notes that perfectly complement the perfectly charred meats.
Beyond exceptional food quality, Riverside Indonesian BBQ excels in customer service and convenience, offering flexible dining options including dine-in, takeout, and delivery through popular platforms like Foodpanda. The restaurant maintains halal certification, ensuring accessibility for Singapore's diverse Muslim community while appealing to food lovers from all backgrounds. Phone orders can be placed at 68831440, while the central Plaza Singapura location provides easy access via multiple transportation options. Customer reviews consistently praise the tender, flavorful chicken, generous portions, reasonable pricing, and efficient service, with many declaring it among Singapore's finest Indonesian BBQ destinations. The combination of authentic flavors, consistent quality, and strategic location has made Riverside Indonesian BBQ an integral part of Plaza Singapura's diverse dining landscape.
used to be my top fav which serves super tender grilled nice chicken. Not here for quite awhile and today i was near.
However this trip was bad as the chicken given was dry and tough.
Not sure if its just this piece of entire batch but this sucks for sure.
Luckily favour wise its still good.
Maybe will come back 1 more round to try, lets see.

The food at the stall is always one of my go-to at this food court. Food is tasty & delicious. Sauce is super sweet. So ask for less sauce if you r watching out for your sugar intake.
My disappointment came from it being a take away this time round. The rice just doesn’t taste right when doing take aways here. Rice became soggy & wet.
Portion was generous and the drink is nice. Just doesn’t work the same as eating there.
When dining in, there’s even a bowl of soup, which is nice to balance the sweetness of the sauce. The rice also wouldn’t taste soggy.
I’ll not hesitate to order there if I can dine in. But I’d rather choose something else to take away in the future.

The food is not bad but the lady serving the food has very bad attitude and always mixes up the order. She also callously tosses the plate and soup onto the tray based on whether she likes you. The difference in attitude is obvious. Hopefully management can do something about it since I have been patronising this place for more than 10 years and would hate to see it get a bad rep.

Had the ayam & ikan panggang set (chicken and fish), very enjoyable. Fish was nice and crispy but not dry. Very flavorful
Gary Lim
Been having it since the old foodcourt . One of the best cheap bites in Plaza Singapura
Kenshin
One of my to go places (food) whenever I am at plaza sing. I ordered take out this time as was rushing for time. The portion they gave was very generous maybe too much rice!
The food is usually great, ordered my usual set 1 and added vegetable. Prices had went up over the years though.
Joshua Gee
Chicken thigh is well marinated. Curry is aromatic.
Queue can be rather long but it’s worth it. Options in PS can be really limited unless you are willing to splurge.
To go meal when near that vicinity.

Riverside Indonesian BBQ at Plaza Singapura serves up hearty, flavorful grilled dishes at affordable prices. The grilled chicken set is a standout—juicy, well-marinated meat paired with rice, curry, and veggies. Portions are generous, the black sauce is deliciously sweet and savory, and the sambal adds a nice spicy kick. A reliable spot for satisfying Indonesian fare in the heart of Orchard.

Ayam Bakar Set $7.02 (UP$7.80)
Never falls! Always come here look around the other food stall think think, I'll end up still coming back to this stall
My go-to order, grilled chicken that came with those dark sauce and curry sauce all over my rice too.
Love the Sambal chilli that came with it that you can even bite onto the anchovies.
Cabbage was yummy and also came with a sunny side up
Used the fairprice App to pay and you get 10% discount

What's great?
Grilled chicken and curry, and chilli and sweet sauce on top of rice. heavenly combi.
What's to improve?
Skip the fish. Skip the sotong, too little
Visit again?
Of course, have eaten this for the past dunno how many years already!
Maybe try the fried chicken and curry chicken?
Prefer this branch and the Somerset branch. Don't like the Jurong east one.
ah siao
Stall has been here for like 20 years.
One of my favorite/ the oldest riverside indo bbq. Of cos, price has been increasing as well, cost $7.02 with fairprice app 10% discount.
The chicken is sweet and salty, well marinated.
Chili is mild spicy, with Ikan Billis. I asked for more.
Curry sauce is not thick/heavy, with strong panda fragrance.
Cabbage is soft and nice.
Soup is sweet and peppery.

For what it's worth, this stall has been around since more than a decade ago, when I was still in school. For them to have survived this long, does mean something.
They may not be the best Indonesian restaurant around, but the Indonesian grilled chicken set is definitely value for money.
Their black sauce, coupled with the curry sauce, is an amazing combination. Add some signature sambal chilli sauce, and you have yourself the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and umami.
I normally add extra vegetables, and I'd get the ayam panggang + sotong panggang set. Add a homemade lime with plum juice, and you have a good lunch meal washed down.

The legendary Riverside Indonesian BBQ has been my staple at Plaza Singapura’s food court since my school days, and I’m glad it stood the test of time, getting through several renovations over the years.
Ayam panggang, ikan panggang, sotong panggang, everything is great! More than a decade ago the egg was served as a huge omelette, which became a small omelette slice, and now it’s a runny sunny side up (which I prefer)
Prices have gone up slightly but portions still large as ever. Very reasonable to be paying under $10 for such a delicious hearty meal in a CapitaLand mall. I’ll be back!
Thao Nguyen
I ate here so many times and i have to say that i am totally addicted. In my opinion, fish tastes better than chicken, problably because i love fish. The black sauce and the chilli sauce is the hightlight of the dish, not even mention the creamy curry sauce with coconut smell. Remember to tell the auntie to deep the fish/chicken 2 times in the black sauce to increase satisfaction, but i forgot about that😂

What to eat at plaza singapura?
The choice is simple. Riverside indonesian bbq.
Located within the foodcourt at level 6 of the mall, this stall has stood the test of time, for more than 2 decades at the same spot.
Back in the days, patrons needed to add vegetables to have a complete meal but today, something has changed. No the taste of the bbq chicken is still good, in fact very very good. What has changed is the omelette had been replaced by sunny side up. Vegetables are now included by default, probably a good balance meal now.
So if you are at plaza singapura, find a seat at the foodcourt and indulge in this amazing indonesian food, which my indonesian friend had introduced me years ago.
