Under the T2 central skylight, Andes by Astons serves steak fast
Andes by Astons in Terminal 2 sits airside after security, close to the main central dining zone, so you can eat without backtracking far from most T2 gates. It’s the halal offshoot of the Astons chain, so the menu leans hard into grilled meats, chicken chops, and sides you’d recognise from mall outlets across Singapore.
Mains typically run in the S$12–S$20 range, with chicken sets at the lower end and beef steaks toward the top. Portions are bigger than most airport food court stalls; a single main with two sides usually fills one hungry adult. That price point lands cheaper than many sit-down spots in T2 but higher than the basic food court downstairs.
Menu staples include black pepper chicken, chargrilled chicken, and sirloin or ribeye steaks, each coming with two sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, mac and cheese, onion rings, or fries. Sauces tend to be on the sweeter, crowd-pleaser side, closer to family casual dining than serious steakhouse territory. If you want something lighter, grilled fish or salads appear on the board but get fewer orders.
Service works counter-style: you order, pay, and collect a buzzer, with food usually landing in 10–20 minutes depending on the rush of T2 departures. Most guests turn the table in under 35 minutes, so a one-hour layover is enough time if your gate is already assigned in Terminal 2. You won’t get full table service pacing; this runs closer to a fast-casual chain.
Opening hours generally mirror main T2 traffic, roughly breakfast through late evening, often around 10:00 to 22:00, but check on the day since timings can shift with terminal refurb schedules. If you’re price-sensitive, skip drinks here and grab water from the nearby convenience store instead; that alone can shave S$3–S$5 off the bill.
Practical tip: if your boarding pass shows a bus gate in T2, eat at Andes by Astons before you head down; there’s far less real food choice once you drop to the remote holding areas.
