If you’re looking ahead and planning where to bring your family for a well-deserved post-fast meal, we’ve done the homework for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an iftar buffet?
An iftar buffet is a dinner spread served after the sun sets during Ramadan, and is meant to serve Muslims who are breaking their fast. Dishes featured are usually from Malay cuisine, and sometimes extend into Indian, Middle Eastern, and festive desserts.
Do I have to be Muslim to attend?
Nope! Iftar buffets are open to everyone. It serves as a social gathering space for families, friends, and even colleagues regardless of religion.
What time do the buffets usually start?
Doors open a little before sunset (around 6.30pm) to allow people to settle in their seats and prepare to break their fast. People only start eating when the sun has set.
How early should I arrive?
It's best to arrive early to get to your seats and understand the buffet layout, and be on time for the communal breaking of fast.
Do I need to make a reservation?
It's highly recommended to make a reservation, especially if you're looking at hotel buffets. Because of the high demand, it's unlikely you'll be able to get a walk-in seat, especially in big groups.
