After a day of fasting, there's nothing better than gathering with friends and family over a hearty meal that warms the soul and belly. Singapore is home to plenty of halal-friendly spots, and these restaurants curate some of the best iftar feasts each year, heaving with everything from quintessential Ramadan dishes, to roasted meats, premium seafood selections, delectable sweets and nourishing soups to replenish your energy.

In recent years, these iftar buffet spreads have gotten creative as well, whether it's incorporating East Asian flavours, doing a Balinese culinary deep-dive, or showcasing some of the finest varieties of dates. Here are the best places in Singapore to gather and break fast after the sun sets. And hey, you don't have to be observing Ramadan to join in – there's always room at the table for friends who just want to share some love during the season.

6 iftar buffets in Singapore you don't want to miss

1. Permata Singapore

Get into the spirit of Ramadan at this Nusantara restaurant within a historic building in Kampong Gelam. Permata can be found within Gedung Kuning or the ‘yellow mansion’, which was given its name by the Johor’s Sultan's son in 1864. This year, expect to pull up once again to a hearty Nusantara feast. The restaurant is also offering one-for-one deals throughout the season. Visit six stations and load up on seafood and greens, appetisers, desserts and grilled meats. Go traditional with dishes like tulang merah (bone marrow), lontong goreng and nasi kerabu ulam, or switch things up with the seafood lemak casserole and ayam masak merah enchiladas. The DIY stations provide a touch of fun, as you get to assemble your own bubur (congee), kueh pie tee, and even the rarely seen laksam – a rolled rice noodle soup originating from East Malaysia. 

Address: 73 Sultan Gate, Singapore 198497
Availability: From February 1 to March 20
Expect to pay: $108 for two adults for the iftar buffet

Must-tries include the kambing panggang sambal goreng (slow-roasted lamb smothered with sambal sauce), bebek betutu (slow-roasted duck wrapped in banana leaves), and the be siap basa guling (spit-roasted chicken marinated in a traditional Balinese spice paste). You'll want to save space for other Southeast Asian classics too – the black pepper and chilli mud crab are not to be missed, alongside the wok hei-laden Penang char kway teow and Filipino braised oxtail kare kare.

3. Ginger

Ginger's Ramadan spreads are always a breath of fresh air, whether it's a full-on K-style feast in 2025, or this year's East Asian buffet. For Ramadan 2026, the restaurant is taking advantage of the overlapping CNY and Ramadan period to put out a spread that involves everything from mouth-numbing Sichuan spice to lip-smacking meat skewers. Tuck into dishes from all over East Asia, starting with free-flow mala abalone and assorted Xinjiang-style lamb skewers, dusted with a quintessential spice powder blend, of course. Then, sink your teeth into hearty rougamo (Chinese-style 'burgers') from Shaanxi, which you'll have to assemble yourself at the DIY station. The feast continues with wagyu beef dipped in pickled mustard soup and Shanghai noodles in a pumpkin seafood broth. 

Address: 7500 Beach Rd, PARKROYAL on Beach Road, Singapore 199591

4. StraitsKitchen

This halal-certified buffet restaurant at Grand Hyatt Singapore returns for its second Ramadan after the hotel’s revamp, bringing an iftar spread of Middle Eastern dishes, Malay, Chinese and Indian cuisine. Think mezze staples like baba ghanoush, hummus and pita bread to start, before you attack the barbecue stations, which have plenty of udang bakar, daging lembu panggang, satay and otah to go around. The Ramadan-exclusives are not to be missed as well, with a shawarma station and selection of soups to warm the belly – from kampung chicken soup, to Malaysian oxtail soup and mutton soup. The buffet is also well-stocked with other Asian delights, like popiah, rojak, tandoori-grilled dishes, biryani, and even roasted duck and Hainanese chicken rice. But all eyes will likely be on this year's Date Bazaar, featuring tons of premium date varieties, like Ajwa, Mabroum, Safawi, Sukkary Al Qasim, Deglet Nour and Medjoul.

5. Asian Market Café

The name says it all – this halal-certified restaurant in Fairmont Singapore specialises in Pan-Asian flavours, spanning Japanese cuisine to Peranakan delights. For Ramadan this year, the menu is split into different iconic neighbourhoods in Singapore. Start your meal light at 'Joo Chiat' with seafood on ice, sushi and a range of salads, before travelling to 'Serangoon' for a DIY bowl of laksa or a hearty serving of chicken shawarma and other spiced, roasted meats. A live grill station fires up satay to snack on between bites, while the soup section features two nourishing soups – Indonesian oxtail and a Ramadan-exclusive bubor lambok with mutton bone marrow. The highlight though, is the slow-roasted spiced whole lamb, which you'll definitely want to get a serving of, alongside some carbs like pineapple fried rice, mee goreng mamak and more. End the meal with fruits from 'Pasir Panjang' and desserts from 'Geylang', which includes a colourful assortment of Nyonya kueh.
