Halal hotel buffets in Singapore
1. J65 at JEN Singapore Tanglin ($29.50++ to $118++)
Halal-certified J65 is situated in a real fancy part of Singapore, Tanglin, but JEN is actually the less fancy hotel under the Shangri-La Group (the other being the infamous 5-star hotel Shangri-La itself). You get great service, food, and ambience under Shangri-La management for more wallet-friendly prices-at least for their day buffets.
The pricing for lunch/high tea versus dinner varies greatly at JEN; their regular weekday lunch buffets start from $29.50++ per adult diner while their dinner buffets go up to $118++ per pax.
Go for their dinner buffet on Wednesdays to indulge in a lobster feast ($118++) with Boston lobster, lobster bisque or porridge, lobster thermidor, and more.
J65 Buffet | Availability | Adult price |
International Lunch Buffet | Weekdays; 12 pm – 230 pm | $59++ for 2 adults ($29.50++ per adult) |
International Seafood Dinner Buffet | Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday; 6 pm – 930 pm | $88++ for 2 adults ($44++ per adult) |
Deepavali Seafood Feast Buffet (18 Oct – 9 Nov 2024) | Friday, Saturday, and Deepavali Public Holiday; 6 pm – 930 pm | $98++ for 2 adults ($49++ per adult) |
High Tea Buffet | Weekends and public holidays; 1230 pm – 3 pm | $88++ for 2 adults ($44++ per adult) |
Lobster Rock & Roll Dinner Buffet | Wednesday; 6 pm – 930 pm | $118++ per adult |
Seafood Mania Dinner Buffet | Friday and Saturday; 6 pm – 930 pm | $98++ per adult |
Child pricing is half of the adult price and applies to children aged 6 – 11 years old.
I find the branding for JEN to be more vibrant and youthful than Shangri-La, which also means it feels more accessible.
The restaurant also has more versatile seating arrangements, including booths, high tables, and regular seating to accommodate all group sizes and occasions. You won't feel out of place at JEN-so make your reservation and dig in.

2. Landmark 1-for-1 buffet at Village Hotel Bugis ($37.75++ to $46.25)
[embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/C_2JfMyt-OU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link[/embed]
Landmark is one of those restaurants with a perpetual 1-for-1 offer on their buffets, so go ahead and divide all their prices in half. That puts their lunch buffet at about $45 and their dinner buffet at just over $50 (weekdays) / $55 (weekends), GST included.
By way of food, Landmark offers a salad bar, "goreng goreng" station with fried delights like spring rolls, a live meat station, pastas, soups, seafood, local classics like carrot cake, Indian food like tandoori chicken, and of course a dessert section with assorted cakes, kueh, ice cream and the like.
Relatively speaking, I don't think Landmark has very premium dishes - you're not going to get a whole poached salmon or oysters on ice here. However, you do get a solid range of buffet staples for an affordable price.
Landmark buffet | Adult price | Child (3-7 years old) price |
1-1 Lunch (Mon – Sun) | $75.50++ ($90.52 nett) | $15++ ($17.82 nett) |
1-1 Weekday dinner (Mon – Thu) | $84.50++ ($101.31 nett) | |
1-1 Weekend dinner (Fri – Sun, PH & eve of PH) | $92.50++ ($110.90 nett) |
Lunch: 12 pm – 230 pm; Dinner: 630 pm – 10 pm

3. The Buffet Restaurant at M Hotel ($39++ to $79++)
[embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/DBipfvFTIJP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link[/embed]
This isn't your average intercontinental hotel buffet restaurant. The Buffet Restaurant at M Hotel is a halal-certified buffet that that fuses Asian flavours and cuisines with their hotpot dinner buffets.
They're currently serving up two main types of buffet: an all-you-can-eat Nasi Padang lunch buffet experience, and a hearty hotpot buffet for dinner.
The hotpot buffet dinner (themed "Celebration of Flavours" from Oct 1 to Nov 14) features fresh seafood like blue swimmer crab and premium meats like sliced beef roll, sliced lamb roll, and prawn tobiko paste on tube.
Simmer these in your choice of flavourful broth: Chicken Broth, Signature Collagen Broth (add $9++), Singapore Soy Laksa, Spicy Thai Tom Yam, and Wild Mushroom.
Embellish your hotpot experience with free-flow Trio Steamed Egg, Sambal Squid with Petai, and Slow-Roast Beef Brisket in Chinese Bao from their live station. To end on a sweet note, dig in to Chilled Peach Gum Cheng Teng Soup, assorted kueh, and ice cream.
Here's the interesting part about The Buffet Restaurant at M Hotel-it's a hotpot buffet by night and a nasi padang buffet by day.
The nasi padang buffet lunch line-up includes Sup Buntut (oxtail and vegetable soup), Beef Rendang, Udang Sambal Petai (shrimp and sambal beans), and Gulai Kambing (lamb curry).
And what's a buffet without dessert? Indulge in desserts such as Pulut Hitam and traditional kuehs.
The Buffet Restaurant buffets | Timing | Adult price |
Nasi Padang Lunch Buffet | 12 pm to 230 pm | $39++ (weekdays) / $49++ (weekends) |
Weekday Hotpot Dinner Buffet | 6 pm to 930 pm (Sun to Thu) | $69++ |
Weekend Hotpot Dinner Buffet | 6 pm to 930 pm (Fri and Sat) | $79++ |

4. Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road ($52++ to $88++)
Some of us don't trust the wisdom of the masses and look towards authorities on food to tell us what's good. If that sounds like you, check out Ginger at ParkRoyal on Beach Road, which won Best Halal Casual Dining Restaurant at the Epicurean Star Awards 2023 and the Alfresco & Biophilic (Asia) category at the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards 2021.
Tuck into top-quality nosh from their halal-certified kitchen and 5 halal-certified live food stations, with dishes like Australian lamb chop, Boston lobster (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only), and Singapore Chilli Crab or White Pepper Crab on the menu.
At Ginger, it's not just the food that's stamped with awards. Its enchanting ambience is meticulously crafted by award-winning Singapore-based Australian designer Emma Maxwell, featuring timbre flooring, marble table tops, and rattan fans.
This restaurant excels at blending natural elements and luxe finishes, highlighted by Kerrie Brown's floral-themed wallpapers and textiles that celebrate local flora.
Sounds good? The best part is that prices start from just $52++, which is a steal when you consider the quality of food and their classy ambience.
Ginger Buffets | Timing | Adult price | Child price (6 – 12 years old) |
Lunch Buffet (Mon to Sun) | 12 pm to 230 pm | $52++ | $26++ |
Flavours of Taiwan – A Night Market Feast (Mon to Thu, now till 31 Oct 2024) | 6 pm to 10 pm | $78++ | $39++ |

5. 21 on Rajah at Aloft Singapore Novena ($52++ to $78++)
[embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/DAaW0TbNUfr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link[/embed]
When I think of 21 on Rajah, I'm taken back to a night when a large group of us had dinner there and my friends stuffed their faces silly with crayfish. 3 guys in our group wiped out the entire batch in 1 go!
The staff graciously replenished the food so that my dining companions could continue their gastronomic indulgence.
We'd chosen 21 on Rajah because we were looking for a halal-certified buffet that was good for big groups (ours was over 20 people) and still affordable.
Having dined there and emerged with a happy belly, I would recommend 21 on Rajah as a value-for-money halal buffet option. It's not going to be as extravagant as the buffets over at the ParkRoyal hotels, but it certainly filled us up that night with quality food at reasonable prices.
Buffet Type | Days & Time | Price per adult | Price per child (6-12 years old) |
---|---|---|---|
Weekday Lunch | Monday to Friday, 12 pm to 3 pm | $52++ | $26++ |
Weekend Brunch | Saturday and Sunday, 12 pm to 3 pm | $68++ | $34++ |

6. Carousel buffet at Royal Plaza on Scotts ($64++ to $108++)
Award-winning halal-certified restaurant Carousel is one of the most well-known halal buffet restaurants in Singapore. Its spread is massive, with over 100 mouthwatering dishes to leave you spoilt for choice.
Seafood options include Sakoshi Bay Oysters, Boiled Maine Lobster, and Whole Atlantic Salmon served with Chives, Sour Cream and Honey Mustard, while carnivores will be happy to sink their teeth into roasted chicken and slow oven-roasted beef prime ribs.
Lighter dishes include tapas like spicy eggplant and chickpea harissa, on top of my personal favourite in any buffet: a mezze platter of red pepper pesto, hummus, black olive tapenade and more on tortillas and pita bread.
You'll also get a sumptuous spread of Asian classics like sushi, mutton and chicken tandoori kebabs, stir-fried mud crab, and more.
I like to judge a buffet by its dessert selections, and Carousel doesn't disappoint with a large selection of sweets -anything from creme brulee and pistachio financier to bread and butter pudding and a premium ice cream parlour.
Here's what this lavish spread will cost you:
Weekdays | Weekends | ||||
Carousel buffets | Adult | Child | Adult | Child | |
Lunch (12 pm – 2 pm) | $75++ | $38++ | $82++ | $41++ | |
High Tea (3 pm – 5 pm) | $58++ | $30++ | $64++ | $35++ | |

Buffet dining in a garden? Peppermint makes it happen, mingling lush vibes with a farm-to-table feast. Their Urban Farm’s homegrown herbs, edible flowers, and vegetables (over 60 varieties altogether!) go right into their teas, infused water, salads, aromatics and other food. How cool is that?

9. Atrium Restaurant at Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium ($94++ to $118++)
Atrium Restaurant is Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium's halal-certified buffet restaurant. It's especially Muslim-friendly because of its prayer room located just 1-minute away from the restaurant.
In my opinion, this buffet is one of the most value-for-money halal buffets in Singapore — if you have the right credit card. Pay with a DBS,Citibank, or Maybank credit card to get 50per cent off Atrium Restaurant's buffet! Otherwise, the full prices range from $94++ for weekday lunch to $118++ for weekend dinner:

Christmas will start early at Atrium Restaurant-from 18 Nov 2024, enjoy a festive buffet with dishes like Tuscan lamb stew, creamy parmesan and shrimp risotto, grilled cranberry turkey sausage, and more.

Halal high tea buffets in Singapore
10. Royal Palm at Village Hotel Bugis ($37.75++ to $50++)
Growing up, I remember high teas were often endless buffets. These days, I'm often disappointed to learn that yet high tea establishment has obliterated its buffet in favour of a tiered afternoon tea set.
Here's the good news: That isn't the case for the high tea at Royal Palm at Village Hotel Bugis.
Tuck into as many afternoon tea bites as your heart desires and your stomach can, well, stomach-crab, oven-baked oysters with cheese, Wagyu Beef Burger, Chicken Fajitas Pepper Wrap, assorted sushi, and more. No high tea is complete without dessert. At Royal Palm, you get your pick of cakes, macarons, croissants, and pastries.
For dinners at Royal Palm, expect more of all that good stuff along with Middle Eastern dishes like Mandi Rice with Chicken, Mediterranean Chicken Wrap, Charcoal Grilled Fish, and various lamb, chicken or beef kebabs on skewers.
There's another thing you're going to love about this buffet-both their weekend dinner and high tea buffets are 1 for 1!
Royal Palm buffet | Price for 2 pax | Price for 1 pax |

Another Muslim-friendly high tea buffet, Tiffany Cafe & Restaurant offers their high tea only on weekends from 3 to 5pm.
This high tea doesn't feel like your typical high tea with petite finger sandwiches and bite-sized mini quiches. Instead, it feels more like a lunch or all-day brunch served during afternoon tea hours.
Go ham at the DIY sandwich bar, build-your-own salad bar, and DIY kueh pie tee station before tucking into laksa, satay, roasted leg of lamb, and other succulent cuts of meat.
Tiffany Cafe is all about empowering you at their afternoon tea buffets because they've got yet another DIY station-their DIY Waffle Bar with condiments. All this is on top of cakes, Tiffany Durian Pengat, and raisin scones to set the high tea mood.
