A whole year has passed, and Ramadan 2025 in Singapore is just around the corner again. This means that it’s also time to plan your sahur and iftar meals. If you’re alternating between home-cooked food and dining out (like the rest of us), here’s our guide to the top halal buffets, steakhouses, and other restaurants for quick inspo.

From its humble beginnings as a hand-drawn cart in the 1920s to becoming a beloved downtown fixture, Sabar Menanti has been passed down through 3 generations. To this day, it continues to draw snaking lines of diners eager to gorge on authentic and flavourful Minangkabau dishes like the slow-braised Beef Rendang and the twice-cooked, extra creamy yellow curry Ayam Bakar.

Sabar Menanti’s menu reads like a greatest hits collection filled with Singapore’s favourite dishes. From rich-brown, peanutty Tahu Telur to a full-flavoured, vibrant green Sambal Goreng, the cosy, no-frills ambience of this restaurant makes it an ideal choice for iftar, especially if you’re in the area and need to pop by for a quick, yet satisfying meal.

Legends of the intense care that goes into producing this meat are aplenty — so grab your folks, order the Heavenly Meat Board, and try the buttery-smooth, marbly meat for yourself.

The elegant yet relaxed atmosphere also makes Charr’d great for a special iftar gathering with family or friends this 2025 Ramadan in Singapore. Don’t miss their signature sauces, like the black pepper or chimichurri, which add an extra layer of smoky flavour to every bite.

If you catch yourself hankering for Thai food this Ramadan, Siam Kitchen’s tantalising buffet needs to be on your radar. From the tangy Tom Yum soup to the creamy Green Curry and crispy Pandan Chicken, the spread bursts with options and flavours. 

Splash out a little extra for their premium buffet, which includes grilled halal seafood like the Grilled Stingray with Sambal Sauce. It’s an easy-to-eat fish slathered with a generous amount of spicy and briny sambal — just the way a stingray should be eaten!

Wrap up your Ramadan iftar meal with some mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream fresh off the dessert station.

Mutiara Seafood is the legendary Jumbo Group’s foray into halal seafood, and the results do not disappoint. Their Signature Chilli Crab is a must-try, with its sweet, spicy, and tangy sauce clinging to succulent crab meat. Don’t make the mistake of not dipping their fried Mantou buns in the sauce. The Black Pepper Crab, on the other hand, is robust and peppery. 

The generous portions offered in this restaurant make it a top choice if you’re rounding up the whole family for a food coma-inducing Ramadan iftar meal.

21 on Rajah’s 2025 Ramadan halal buffet is a feast for the senses. This year, they’re offering a wide array of Mediterranean-Asian dishes that cater to every palate.

Flips N Dips is the go-to spot for halal-certified Western comfort food that hits all the right notes. The Western cuisine here is affordable and well-portioned, but it’s only when paired with the stall’s signature, Malay-inspired sauces that the dishes truly shine.

Have you ever had a Crispy Chicken Cutlet where each bite of the skin crackles with the coconutty goodness of Lemak Chilli Padi? Or perhaps a plate of Fish and Chips brimming with the tangy flavours of masak merah (spicy tomato gravy)? If you shook your head, it’s time to give Flips N Dips a shot.

Tiram is a fresh face on the block, but it’s already carved out a niche for itself as the go-to halal cafe for fresh, high-quality oysters served in a variety of styles. Order some Fresh Oysters chilled on ice for a clean, briny flavour. Alternatively, you could also get the Single Shot Bloody Mary oyster which brings together the natural fishiness of the mollusc and a delicious, tangy kick that’ll linger for a while.

Wash down your iftar meal with a Dancing Blue mocktail which packs a savoury aroma if you want to feel like a million bucks for just a fraction of the price.
