The Halia

Closure notice. Permanently closed

Closed on 7 April 2026.

The Halia, the European-Asian fusion restaurant that operated in the Ginger Garden at the Singapore Botanic Gardens from 2001, served its last day on 7 April 2026. The restaurant announced its closure on 8 January 2026, and news reports that week put the final day in mid-March 2026; its own later announcement gave the exact date, saying it "will officially close its doors on 7 April 2026 (Tues), our final day of service". Asked why it was closing, the restaurant told CNA and The Straits Times the decision was "due to business and operational considerations including factors beyond daily restaurant operations". No source on record cites a lease expiry, tender or redevelopment. The group's Halia Pantry at The Villa, also within the Gardens, is recorded as permanently closed from the same date.

Worth it for / Skip if

Skip if — you are planning a visit: this is a closure record, not a trading listing.

Every clause above is drawn from a named field in this venue's record — a published price, a booking route, the verified hours — and nothing else.

What it costs

No priced item is on record for this venue. Forkin publishes a price only where a dated public source carries it, so nothing is estimated here.

How to get a seat

No online booking channel is on record for this venue. Verified hours are not on record either, so call ahead before travelling.

What to expect

This venue is recorded as closed, so no current visit detail is published here.

The longer version

The desk has not published a longer read of this venue yet. This slot carries editorial assessment only, and none is written where the evidence does not yet support one.

Signature dishes

No dish is named for this venue in any source on record. Dishes are listed here only where an official source names them, so none are guessed from menus or reviews.

The official menu

No official menu is on record for this venue. Forkin transcribes a menu only from the venue's own published source, never from a review or an aggregator listing.

Opening hours

Day-by-day hours are not verified for this venue. Hours are published here only once a dated source has been read for the whole week, so a partial week is never shown as a full one.
