Dining Above the Clouds: Orbit Buffet at KL Tower

Ever dreamt of dining with a view that literally moves with you?

At Orbit Revolving Restaurant on KL Tower, that dream becomes real and not just real, but revolving. Sitting 282 metres above ground, this sky-high spot serves up local and international buffet spreads with a side of breathtaking city views. Whether you come for lunch, high tea, or dinner, this is a KL experience that hits different.

The View is The Vibe

Not gonna lie, we’re not just here for the food (although it does deliver). The main event is the 360-degree view of Kuala Lumpur, constantly shifting as the restaurant slowly turns while you dine. It’s the kind of spot where you don’t even need to stand up to get a photo of the skyline; just sit, eat, and wait for the towers to glide into view.

Orbit is part of the KL Tower experience, so if you time it right – say, around sunset – you’ll see the city change from golden hour glow to twinkling lights. Trust us, it’s pure magic.

What’s On the Menu?

Depending on the time of day, you’ve got three buffet options to choose from:

• Lunch: A mix of hearty local and international dishes. Great for business catch-ups or tourists on a midday break.

• Hi-Tea: Expect a lighter bite, pastries, local kuih, and savouries. Chill afternoon vibes with tea and city views? Yes, please.
• Dinner: This one’s the star. Seafood, pasta, roasted meats, and beautiful desserts that look as good as they taste. Dinner at Orbit is a whole event.

Menus rotate pretty often, so there’s always something new to try. From creamy pastas and sushi to rendang, satay, and fresh ulam. Don’t skip the dessert table either. Their cakes and gelato are sweet ending to a high-flying experience.

Tickets Prices & Combos

You can also book combo packages that include access to KL Tower’s Observation Deck or Sky Deck, which makes the whole trip all the more worth it.

ADVERTISEMENTS

Pro tip: Booking platforms like Klook often offer discounts of up to 30%, especially on weekdays.

Also, if you’re celebrating or just want a guaranteed front-row seat to the view, you can reserve a window table for an extra RM58. Totally worth it for the ‘gram’.

More Than Just Dining: Sky Terrace, Glass Box & HEMISFERA

If you’re already at KL Tower, don’t just eat and leave. There’s so much more to explore – and it’s all sky-high.

First, head over to the Sky Terrace and Observation Deck. Here’s where you can really take in that panoramic KL skyline. And for the brave ones? Step into the Glass Box, where you’ll be standing inside a transparent cube sticking out from the tower. It’s both terrifying and thrilling at the same time, perfect for your next profile pic.

Then there’s HEMISFERA, KL Tower’s luxurious sky hall. It’s a popular venue for weddings, events, and glam parties, the kind of space that makes you feel like you’re in a movie.

Facilities That Actually Make Sense

One of the things we love? Orbit (and KL Tower in general) is surprisingly convenient for all types of visitors.

There’s a surau on-site for Muslim guests, clean restrooms, fast elevators (you’ll be 300 metres up in under a minute), and staff who are friendly and helpful. The vibe is smart casual, so you can dress up a little but no need to go full black-tie. Just make sure you don’t come in flip-flops or beachwear.

What’s New & What’s Hot

Orbit is always switching things up. Some of the latest updates include:

• Seasonal dishes and local favourites are served up on the buffet line.
• New window seating options with advance bookings.
• Combo deals that bundle dining + deck access for less hassle.

Best of all, the place still feels fresh, a mix of retro KL charm and modern dining.

So, Is It Worth It?

Honestly? Yes.

Orbit at KL Tower isn’t just about food; it’s an experience. You’re dining above the clouds, watching the city go by, soaking in the skyline from a revolving floor. Whether you’re planning a romantic night out, celebrating a birthday, or just ticking it off your KL bucket list, it’s one of those rare places that lives up to the hype.

And the best part? It’s right in the heart of the city.

Quick Travel Tips Before You Go

• Book early, especially for weekends or dinner. Window seats go fast!
• Check Klook or TablApp for promo prices.
• Bring a light jacket because the air-conditioning and altitude can make the venue a bit chilly.
• Plan to spend at least a couple of hours, especially if you’re exploring the Observation Deck and Glass Box.
• Snap your pics, the put your phone down. This is one of those places worth enjoying in the moment.

If you’re planning a trip to Kuala Lumpur, make sure KL Tower Orbit Dining is on your list. Whether you are coming for the buffet, the views, or just the bragging rights – it’s an experience that totally elevates your travel story.
