Hello,

As the sacred month of Ramadan draws near, evenings will be defined by bustling bazaars—epicentres of meals steeped in tradition and street food aplenty. The day’s breaking of fast or Iftar is typically spent surrounded by loved ones with a decadent spread at the heart of the occasion. As such, dining venues across the country have prepared banquets to help those end a day of fasting with only the finest gastronomy.

If you’re looking to book a restaurant for a special occasion, check out the Tatler Dining Guide 2024 to discover some of Malaysia’s best dining experiences.
