The establishment is located in a shophouse along 738 North Bridge Road.
It began operations in 1948 and was founded by a man named Isrin who hailed from the West Sumatran city of Pariaman.
Some popular dishes on the menu are beef rendang, sambal goreng, and ikan bakar (smoky grilled fish).
According to the National Library Board’s Infopedia, Warong Nasi Pariaman is believed to be the oldest surviving stall in Singapore that serves nasi padang.
In 2021, it was one of the seven “mini-museums” launched in Kampong Glam by the National Heritage Board in an effort to tell the stories of local shops with at least three decades of history, reported The Straits Times.
