Dewakan Kuala Lumpur

Dewakan sits on level 48 of the Naza Tower in Platinum Park, a ten-minute walk from the Petronas Twin Towers. The space holds two stars in the Michelin Guide and is ranked no. 55 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

The room runs smart, contrasting with the often informal nature of modern South East Asian dining in the capital. While most restaurants in the city centre rely on the visual pull of the nearby towers, Dewakan’s height renders the skyline secondary to the plate. The cooking focuses on local ingredients treated with a technical precision that separates it from the more casual creative spots in Suria KLCC. You choose this table for the singular clarity of its perspective on the region’s flavours, which feels more deliberate than the high-traffic dining rooms found at the base of the park.
