Hyatt high tea
“I want to taste everything!” was my first thought.

How We Rate Buffets?

Probably you are asking how can you trust us with the rating? Let’s just say we are 100% foodies with a rare condition called – honesty. If something doesn’t meet our expectations we share our thoughts, because there is no time for bull****. Our buffet reviews have six criteria, scaling from 0 to 10. These are atmosphere, food offer, presentation, service, food taste and value. If I would say picking the best buffet here in Kuala Lumpur is an easy job I would lie. The offer is huge and various. After all, we can easily title KL as a buffet metropolis. So, I hope we helped you a bit with our selection. Shall we?

Mandarin Oriental Mosaic Buffet

The Mandarin Oriental Mosaic buffet menu is enormous and is, in fact, one huge mosaic of food. We have to start with their sweets tucked away in a separate room, just to warn you not to look at them before you give a chance to the savories. If you give in, we guarantee you’ll have to return to the Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur. Worth mentioning is the largest seafood selection in town and plenty of vegetarian dishes. Naturally, you’ll find Malay, Indian and Chinese stations, soups, BBQ, a roast station, a live pasta station, a selection of western food, a noodle soup station, and more. 

Seafood
Lobster, flower crab, yabbies, prawns, scallops?

Grand Hyatt – High on Sugar

A walking distance from Mosaic restaurant is the Grand Hyatt with a trendy THIRTY8 restaurant. Here they serve some sort of hybrid between high tea and buffet. We simply enjoyed their signature afternoon tea buffet with savories on call and sweets on display. Here we must applaud them for delicious food, plus the 360-degree view from the 38th floor is just a cherry on top. On top of that, there were plenty of options to choose from.

Sizzling Sundays BBQ @ Man Tao, Hotel Stripes

Only on Sundays, one can enjoy the intimate BBQ buffet by the pool on top of the Stripes Hotel at Man Tao. As expected, the atmosphere is very relaxing, spiced with western-style dishes. Food options are adequate enough for any fussy eater, although you can revisit the favorites anytime. We couldn’t get enough of their cute mini burgers paired with roasted root vegetables. Here we must add that meat-free options were slightly lacking, albeit the BBQ is about the sizzling meat. Certainly, this Kuala Lumpur BBQ buffet offers a different spin and is all about the enjoyment of life.

Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara Buffet 

Kwee Zeen restaurant at Sofitel Damansara Hotel certainly shines for Sunday brunch; at least we witnessed that. On other days lunch and dinner buffet are open for the voracious public, where you’ll find a worldwide array of dishes with an emphasis on French delicacies. With that being said, cheese and bread lovers will adore the selection, which is the biggest as we experienced. We loved the gluten-free corner and healthier options like prawn guacamole and roasted green asparagus, to name a few. Sofitel Damansara Buffet is certainly one of the best buffet options here in KL!

Aloft Kuala Lumpur Buffet Review

The Nook restaurant’s contemporary design serves as a vibrant background to the dishes from all corners of the world. Our favorite part of this Aloft Kuala Lumpur buffet was the light appetizers and Malay classics. The savory offer is big, especially when it comes to the Italian classics. However, the dessert section has room for improvement. Keep in mind that the buffet offer is changing and available for breakfast and dinner.

Majestic Kuala Lumpur Buffet Review

This Kuala Lumpur buffet has the most comfortable seats. To be more specific, the sofa is the one you will refuse to leave after the “all you can eat” experience. What we can say about the food is that savories outperform sweets. We were particularly pleased with a wide array of Pan-Asian dishes, especially Japanese soups and Indian open kitchen. For those looking for western flavors, we can calm you that you’ll find the most beloved classics like pizza, pasta, and so on. The sweet finish was most enjoyable with cakes and bowl desserts. Majestic Kuala Lumpur Buffet is a classic!

Royal Chulan Hotel, Bunga Emas Restaurant

Bunga Emas Restaurant has to be the best option for tasting genuine Malay cuisine. Given the modest number of dishes, we were able to try all and are happy to report that everything tasted great. Most of all, we remembered the Rendang Daging at this Kuala Lumpur buffet. The best thing is that the food had a homemade feel to it, plus the Malay food tag added a mysterious oriental charm to the experience. That is especially true for the local desserts, which couldn’t be more different from Western sweets.

Conclusion

And we are at the end of our best buffet in Kuala Lumpur article. I hope we helped you a bit with your choice for the next buffet in this all-you-can-eat city. However, in pandemic times, some outlets don’t offer buffet options, so please check before your reservation. However, if you are a high tea lover like us, than check our best high tea in Kuala Lumpur article.
