Lagnaa...barefoot dining is an Indian restaurant in Singapore set across three levels on Upper Dickson Road in Little India. Our kitchen prepares curries and tandoor-baked naans following the six tastes of arusuvai, balancing sweet, sour, salty, spicy, bitter, and astringent notes.
On our second floor, guests remove their shoes for floor seating. Diners can select their preferred chili heat levels from one to ten, with higher tiers featured on our spice ladder challenge. We are closed Mondays.
Lagnaa Barefoot Dining delivers a genuine, welcoming experience right from the start. The owner and staff are friendly and warm, making you feel right at home.
There was a welcome puff.
If you’re unsure what to order, trust their recommendations. They hit the mark completely. The mushroom curry is rich, fragrant, and deeply flavorful, while the methi naan is fresh, warm, and cooked to perfection, making it the ultimate pairing to mop up every bit of sauce. Lagnaa is 3 levels, 2nd level is where the barefoot dining happens.

My favourite. I’ve lost count of my returns to Lagnaa; it’s the first place I tell anyone about in Singapore. Curry lovers are in heaven here, yet K7 and Curry Mummy look after all my guests so closely that the spice-shy always eat just as well. Everything is cooked by arusuvai, the six tastes, so each meal touches sweet, sour, salty, spicy, bitter and astringent; I find them all in silky koli under a crown of curry leaves, dark rich lamb masala, dal sharp with cumin, saag soft with chickpeas and naan blistered from the tandoor. I love sitting where I can hear the kitchen and watch Little India drift past the open front. For the challenge-minded, there’s the spice ladder of fame, climbed one level at a time. Level 6 was a joy. But Level 7 was an achievement: a chicken curry days in the making, so concentrated it had blackened around the top of the bowl, two hours of tears and sweat with the crowd urging me on when I nearly surrendered, almost out of body and still delicious to the last scrape. That meant a second named peg on the wall and a proud place among some 160 survivors. Finally, thankfully, a mango lassi. And to soothe the hours ahead? A pot of their creamy yoghurt, to go. What a remarkable place.

I was alone in Singapore and was not in the mood for Singaporean or Chinese or any variation of that, so search the web for hidden gems in Singapore and there it was Lagnaa.
I didn't bother to order, I told the person I wanted to try as much as my body could handle. after the question on how much heat (chilly) I could take, I told them a 3 out of 10, actually I was just a 2.
5 different dishes, each a bit different but all of the amazing. the chef even sent a special chocolate as a desert.
what to say, I would return here any day.

2nd time dining here. Did the level 6 challenge previously and the flavours were great! Really amazing!
At level 6, you can feel the heat, but the flavours were there. The chilli, and layers were great. I also had the chicken koorma, a little bit of spice, delicious garlic naan… enjoyed it all!
It’s really nice to see a lot of people on a weekday, visiting, having beers and enjoying the food.
Chef is friendly, and takes the time and effort to make sure everyone feels welcome and taken care of.
Service staff are very attentive and caring.
