We recently checked out some of their dining destinations and put together a list for you of our picks as well as some epic happy hour deals and set lunch offers at some of our favourite spots at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands for Indian, Chinese, Singaporean, French, and Japanese cuisine.

Be sure to wash it down with a refreshing Lychee Lemongrass Fizz.

Punjab Grill
Experience the robust flavours of Punjabi cuisine in a chic setting at Punjab Grill. We love that they have just as many vegetarian dishes as meat dishes, making this a great place to visit with diners who have different tastes and diets. The set lunches are particularly good value with multiple courses including Saag Paneer, Lamb Kofta Truffle Kebab, and Fish of the Day grilled in a tandoori oven. They also have a special Impossible Meat menu for a protein-packed, plant-based spread. If you are making a booking for a group, request for the private dining area, where you can get front row seats to see the chefs in action at the stunningly designed hand-beaten copper Tandoors.
