The beautiful Ramadan month has just rolled in last week, and we're already seeing plenty of good food around. ? Of course, nothing compares to your favourite home-cooked food for Iftar, but sometimes, you just don't feel like cooking because of your busy schedules and having little time to prepare anything. ?

Don't worry, we feel you. ❤️ That's why we're here to help you. How about taking a break and eat out instead? ? Here's our top picks for the best Ramadan specials in KL!

1. Hei Sushi

One of the most affordable places to get sushi, Hei Sushi just never fails to disappoint. This time around, they’ve decided to take it up a notch and introduce their Ramadan specials. ?

From 13.90, you definitely won’t leave the restaurant without feeling hungry with its all-day long menu like the Cheese Katsu Curry Udon, or the Yakitori. If you want to keep away from rice, there’s always another choice. Go for the Cheesy Dry Ramen set or the Tenzaru Cha Soba. Lower calories, but equally good! ?
