If you love buffets because you can help yourself to unlimited servings, you will love XW Western Grill. This halal-certified restaurant offers free-flow side dishes with any order of main dish. There are currently 3 outlets, but I expect there will be more in the future.
This concept reminds me of Javier’s Rotisserie & Salad Bar, but with halal-certification.
The side dishes arrive first. You can choose from 24 side dishes, this is just half of them. The side dishes are freshly-made upon order and they arrive at my table piping hot.
For main dish, you can choose steak, chicken, seafood, baked rice/spaghetti, burgers or spaghetti. I chose one of the super combo, Chargrilled Chicken Chop & Fish [S$18.80]. The chicken is tender with crispy charred marks from the grill. The fish, which is cod, has that metallic distinctive of frozen fish.
They ran out of Cucumber Mint Cooler [S$4.80] so I ordered a Milo Dinosaur Float [S$4.80] instead. It comes with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream which really beefs up the creaminess.
With free-flow side dishes and wallet-friendly prices, I can see why XW Western Grill has become the go-to restaurant for many Muslim families.
The place is always crowded during lunch and dinner hours, weekdays and weekends. Do go down early or call to make a reservation.
