Muhammara in Singapore: Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip, Halal
Muhammara is a Middle Eastern dip made from char-roasted red peppers, ground walnuts, and olive oil, sometimes finished with a touch of pomegranate. At Anatolia it's S$17.90, served with warm pita, and it's 100% halal. Collect it on Arab Street or get it delivered across Singapore, usually within the hour.
Most people know hummus and baba ghanoush. Muhammara is the one that surprises first-timers, sweet, smoky, and a little tangy all at once, with walnuts giving it body instead of the usual chickpea or eggplant base. It's a different texture from the rest of the dip lineup, and that's exactly why it's worth trying.
What Makes Our Muhammara Worth Ordering
- Red peppers are char-roasted, so the smokiness is real, not added from a jar.
- Ground walnuts give it a thick, slightly coarse texture, different from a smooth hummus or baba ghanoush.
- Served with warm pita, ready to scoop or spread.
- 100% halal, same standard as everything on our menu.
- Pickup is usually ready within the hour, and delivery mostly lands within the hour too.
Taste and Texture
Smoky first from the roasted peppers, then a nutty depth from the walnuts, with a background sweetness and a light tang from the pomegranate. Some call it a muhammara sauce because it's thinner and more spreadable than a typical dip, somewhere between a dip and a condiment. It has more texture than hummus, less smooth, more rustic.
What's In It
- Char-roasted red peppers
- Ground walnuts
- Virgin olive oil
- Pomegranate
- Warm pita bread on the side

How We Make It
Peppers are char-roasted until the skin blisters, then blended with ground walnuts and olive oil until the texture turns thick but still has some bite from the nuts. It's made fresh in-house, not a bought-in paste thinned out with oil. We don't publish a step-by-step muhammara dip recipe here, this is the version we serve, made the way we make it.
How to Eat It
Scoop it with warm pita, spread it on bread as a condiment, or spoon it over grilled meat or vegetables. It works well next to a smoky main like the Chicken Shish, or alongside a fresh salad if you're building out a bigger spread.
Who It's For
- Anyone who wants a dip with more texture and depth than hummus
- Vegetarians and vegans looking for a nut-based, plant-forward option
- A halal appetizer for sharing near Bugis or Arab Street
- Anyone curious about middle eastern dips beyond the usual hummus and baba ghanoush
A Note on Nutrition
Walnuts bring healthy fats and some protein, and the peppers add vitamin C without any of it being fried. It's richer than hummus because of the nuts, so it's best treated as a shared starter rather than a solo portion.
Make It Yours
Order it on its own with pita, or add it to a mezze spread alongside our other dips. One thing to flag plainly: this contains walnuts and is prepared in a kitchen that also handles other nuts, dairy, and gluten. Tell us about any allergies before you order and we'll guide you to a safe choice.
Why Order From Anatolia
We're on Arab Street, a short walk from Sultan Mosque, Bugis, and Haji Lane. This is Turkish and Middle Eastern cooking made fresh daily, not shipped in from a central kitchen. Pickup is usually ready within the hour, delivery mostly arrives within the hour, and orders over S$100 ship free. Browse the rest of our cold appetizers or head back to the Anatolia homepage to see the full menu.
