Ramadan is finally here! A full month of restraint, patience, and late night feasts. As the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, Muslims around the world anticipate its arrival every year. In 2023, the Ramadan month begins on 22 Mar and is expected to end on 21 Apr.

This sacred month is often spent with family and friends, especially when it’s time to break our fast. Even preparing food in the evening is a serious matter. What are we eating? Are we buying desserts from the Ramadan bazaar? Who’s cooking the rice?

For many Malaysian families, a Ramadan hotel buffet is an annual activity; a treat to celebrate this special month. Many pick hotels as their buka puasa spot of choice not just for the delicious food, but for the amenities offered. It’s a lot easier to find the hotel’s spacious prayer room than it is to walk across a whole mall and climb 2 escalators just to find that its prayer room can only fit 5 people.

If you’re looking for the perfect buffet for you and your loved ones, keep reading. Here, I bring to you the 10 best Ramadan hotel buffets in KL sure to leave you in a food coma.
