Halal steakhouse Tomahawk King to close in September, citing rising costs

The Tomahawk King halal steakhouse in Singapore plans to close its Changi Road location by September 20, citing the rising costs and challenges in the local F&B industry, according to the restaurant's Instagram announcement on August 17. The establishment, which began as a food court stall in Tampines, has seen numerous milestones in its eight-year journey, from first dates to family celebrations.

Despite its success, the restaurant acknowledges that the current realities of Singapore's F&B landscape have made the business unsustainable. Tomahawk King, known for its halal-certified steaks and Japanese wagyu, is part of a larger group of restaurants that includes Charr d and Gyusei, both of which will continue to operate. The closure marks a difficult goodbye for the restaurant as it has been a significant part of many customers' lives, witnessing their relationships grow and their families expand around its tables.
