Irama Dining Kuala Lumpur

October 2, 2025

Took a foreign friend to Irama for dinner and decided on the set meal for 2. RM128++ and came out impressed with the quality and service. This is a place to gatekeep for good Malay cuisine while the price is still affordable to dine and give a good experience to foreign friends. Old building put to good use with decent clean deco. Food wise? Everything served was great.

Not Worth the Hype – Proceed with Caution Despite the flood of glowing reviews, allow me to clarify what many conveniently leave out. This establishment charges RM15 per vehicle for parking—even if you're dining in. There’s no in-house parking, and the available spaces are extremely limited. I made a reservation a week in advancd (which included a fee), and not once was it mentioned that there’s a strict 2-hour dining limit—not in their messages, not on their Instagram. This crucial information was only revealed 8 minutes before our slot. A baffling approach to customer transparency, to say the least. The food? A mixed bag. A few dishes were decent, others bordered on forgettable. At this price point, inconsistency isn’t just disappointing—it’s unacceptable. What truly ruined the evening, however, was the appalling customer service. I asked the floor manager—politely—if the 2-hour limit was still being enforced since one of the dishes I PRE-ORDERED arrived late. His response? A smug, dismissive “Oh, but you came late.” Uncalled for, unprofessional, and frankly, embarrassing for a place positioning itself as premium. We didn’t argue. We left, having barely enjoyed 1.5 hours of this so-called "dining experience”. For a bill that crossed 1K I expected at the very least—basic courtesy. If you’re planning a visit, either lower your expectations or hope for a miracle. Because clearly, consistency and hospitality are optional here.

Best lava cake ever! The fish is extraordinary. The chicken is juicy despite its being roasted and fried.(Which is a bigggg ❤️) The food is superb. Not over-flavored and tasty. Close view of KL tower. (Full view) Decent authentic Malay foods dining experience! Acceptable charges for valet parking. Good ambience for dining for duos. Overall 9.5/10👍

Beautiful place. There's an upstairs and downstairs- downstairs is more suitable if you're coming with people with mobility issues, but the decor and view is much nicer upstairs. The restaurant isn't huge and number of tables are limited so I'd recommend you make a reservation before going. Food is good. I wouldn't say it's the best Malay food I've ever had but it's definitely tasty. Special shoutout to the kerabu. The drinks are definitely on the sweeter side. Parking is RM15, roadside, and pretty limited. Good place to come for celebrations/ to bring guests, but would this be my first choice for a regular old weekend family lunch? Probably not.
