5 best Middle Eastern restaurants in Singapore

"For authentic Persian fare, head over to Shabestan at Mohammed Sultan. The restaurant offers an extensive repertoire of kebabs, rice dishes, charcoal- grilled meats, and comforting stews filled with ingredients such as lamb and braised duck. Leave some room for dessert — must-try items include saffron ice cream, baklava (a sweet filo pastry layered with nuts), and faloodeh shirazi, a frozen dessert composed of rose water, vermicelli noodles, and mint."
