Nestled on the serene shores of Putrajaya Lake, DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside stands as a harmonious blend of contemporary elegance and traditional Malaysian motifs.
Makan Kitchen
The familiar name Makan Kitchen serves as the flagship eatery of the lakeside hotel.

The Ramadan buffet theme this year is Sajian Dulu & Kini. Diners can expect to savor a diverse spread of traditional Malay dishes from various regions around Malaysia.

Hidden Gem: Amazing Food & Views
The Ramadan buffet spread at DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside is impressive on all fronts. The menu is creative and well-designed, and food is prepared with attention to detail. Given the unique and memorable dining experience, we cannot recommend this offer highly enough!
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Besides the Ramadan buffet dinner that we introduced above, the hotel also serves Temenggor Al Fresco Dinner Buffet concurrently downstairs. Served outdoors, the menu offers fewer dishes at a lower price, so it is more suited for large bookings.
