From traditional Middle Eastern cuisine to a spread of Korean staples, break fast at these seven best iftar buffets in Singapore for Ramadan 2025.
The holiest month in the Islamic calendar started on 2 March 2025 in Singapore and runs to 30 March. During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food and drink – even water – from sunrise to sunset. The fast is bookended by a predawn meal called suhur and a feast at night referred to as iftar.
To welcome the breaking of the fast, restaurants in Singapore are putting out iftar buffets for Ramadan 2025. Asian Market Cafe and 21 on Rajah offer bubur lambuk, a spiced lamb porridge traditionally served in mosques here during the fasting month. Straits Kitchen’s iftar buffet opens with mezze like hummus and finishes with dates from the Middle East and North Africa. Swensen’s Unlimited introduces ayam bakar and kambing soup to its smorgasbord of food. Peppermint taps a MasterChef Indonesia judge to present flavours from the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country.
Other restaurants look beyond the traditional confines of halal food for their iftar buffets. The halal-certified Ginger has over 30 Korean dishes including seven types of fried chicken, a DIY bibimbap station, seafood pancake, and tteokbokki. Restaurant Espoir only uses halal-compliant ingredients for its Singapore-inspired Spanish fare, which ranges from laksa seafood paella to pandan churros. Discover out below.
