Grilled Fresh Since 1996: Riverside Indonesian BBQ at 313@Somerset

September 15, 2026
Summary: Nearly 30 years of smoky, grilled goodness. Riverside Indonesian BBQ at 313@Somerset serves its legendary Ayam Panggang and other charcoal-grilled favourites, freshly cooked right before your eyes.

Nearly Three Decades of Indonesian Grilled Flavour

Riverside Indonesian BBQ first opened its doors to the public in 1996, and many long-time Singaporeans will fondly recall its original restaurant that once stood opposite Clarke Quay, along the same stretch now home to Cafe Iguana and Brewerkz. While that original restaurant has since closed, the brand lives on across multiple food court locations islandwide, including 313@Somerset.

The 313@Somerset outlet is located on Basement 3, and is Halal-certified, making it accessible to a wide range of diners looking for a satisfying, smoky meal.

Watch It Grilled Right Before Your Eyes

Part of Riverside's appeal is the theatre of it all: chicken, fish, and squid are grilled fresh right in front of customers, ensuring every order arrives hot, fragrant, and expertly charred. If you're hunting for the genuine article, keep an eye out for the brand's signature “RS” logo on the signboard — several similar-looking Indonesian BBQ stalls exist at various food courts, but only outlets bearing this logo are authentically Riverside.

Ordering is simple: point to the set number on the display window, pay, then find a seat — though be warned, seating can get tight during peak lunch and dinner hours.

Pro Tip: Head down slightly before or after the typical lunch and dinner rush if you'd rather not compete for a seat — the basement food hall at 313@Somerset tends to fill up quickly during peak hours.

What to Order

The star of the menu is the Ayam Panggang (Grilled Chicken Set), featuring a perfectly grilled chicken drumstick or thigh glazed in Riverside's proprietary sweet and savoury dark sauce, inspired by traditional kecap manis. Every set comes with rice, a side of curry, a sunny-side-up egg or omelette, and fresh vegetables for a complete, satisfying meal.

Beyond chicken, the menu extends to grilled fish and grilled squid (sotong), both prepared with the same attention to authentic Indonesian spicing, plus a comforting curry chicken option for those craving something a little different.
