Le Steak by Chef Amri
Le Steak by Chef Amri is one of the few halal restaurants that serve up steak. As such, when I heard of it's setting up at Jalan Kayu, it has been on my must-try halal food places. For those who know Chef Amri will know that he is a Celebrity Chef on Suria Channel. Besides being known for his charming persona, Chef Amri is known for his creativity in making healthy yet tasty dishes. It is not difficult to spot Le Steak, especially on weekends when there is a queue. Le Steak is a casual restaurant suitable for family dining and group gatherings. You can also make a booking with Le Steak if you would like to book the venue for an event. They also have private dining room that you can make reservations. They however, do not take reservations for normal dine-in.
Opened by French-trained celebrity chef Amri Azim, this restaurant offers gourmet steaks and ribs at affordable prices. For steaks, go big and order the Australian M6 grade wagyu beef ($45) but if you’re looking for more cheaper options, try the Angus beef sirloin steak ($14.90) or burger ($12.90) that come with two sides. Apart from grilled meat, the restaurant also whips up pastas and grilled fish dishes that start from $7.90 while its dessert menu consists of lemon curd tarts ($4.90) and Belgian waffles ($8.90). And on Fridays and Saturdays only, the restaurant offers freshly shucked oysters at $18 for half a dozen shells. One of the reasons that sparked my fascination with finding the best steak in Singapore is my father, who is a steak-enthusiast himself. His favourite cut is ribeye and when it’s done a perfect medium, he becomes one happy carnivore. So whenever he recommends a steakhouse, I’m more than game to try it out.
Just a few days back, he had a craving for steak (big surprise) and suggested we head down to Le Steak by Chef Amri. He told me it’s great value and when I saw the price listed on the menu, I had to agree. We already knew we wanted ribeye steaks, so we placed our order with the waitress within less than a minute after seating down and in about 10 minutes, two beautifully grilled slabs of meat were staring us in the face.
Hopping around Singapore to find nice and yummy food to eat. Let me introduce Le Steak. Their famous dish is Steak. Don’t worry about the price. Their price are reasonable and affordable.Chef Amri very friendly. He still walk around to talk to customers to ask for feedback. This is a Halal restaurant.
The Meat
The first impression this PS Ribeye (I believe PS stood for pan-seared) created was stunning. Firmly set, the piece of meat boasted a tantalising brown that any meat-lover would drool over. This was further accentuated with deep-set grill marks, egging me to just dive right in. The plating was entirely without frills, with the steak accompanied only by thick-cut fries and a ramekin of black pepper sauce.
Upon cutting into the steak, I could see the tenderness respectfully giving way and revealing a brilliant pink. Unfortunately, they gave me a medium-well when I asked for medium. While this is a mistake that usually ends up with me sending the steak back, the quality of the meat was good enough for me to soldier on. As I cut out a bite and put it into my mouth, the meat immediately cooperated with my palate. The steak was juicy and well-rested, with the full flavour of beefy goodness delighting all the taste buds in my mouth. I tried the second piece with the black pepper sauce and it was a delicious combination of flavours. The beef still shone through while peacefully mingling with the tasty enhancement. The fat was well-rendered, adding awesome salty magic to the meat.
Food
The food was prepared very nicely and it came with a sauce too. We finished the food with satisfaction. The dessert was extra-ordinary. We were really delighted to see flower petals on our dessert. It was a kind of real delight for us.
We will give 5 out 5 for Food.
Service
Service was really good. The waiters are very attentive and they were very fast to serve what we need. They were serving us without asking. Since we shared the Lamb Rack, the waiter served us extra plates without any request. Even the waiter gave us bigger plates without any demand. Initialy we were served smaller plates. This is what we are looking for as a customer.

Everything Else
Like their plating, the setting is simple and sincere. It reminded me of an American diner but with a little more class, I guess. The service was prompt and reasonably friendly, especially when you consider that no service fee was charged. The washroom was actually very well-kept or maybe it was still early in the day.
Should You Try It?
Diners looking for great value steaks are definitely encouraged to give this establishment a shot. While I understand that prices have gone up from $16.90 to about $21.90, I still find lots of value in this. If the steak was prepared a proper medium, I would not think twice about eating here.
Nevertheless, I might give their ribs and USDA Prime cuts a shot next time.
