If you are planning a special dinner in Kuala Lumpur, Dewakan offers something beyond a skyline backdrop. Chef Darren Teoh’s restaurant puts Malaysian ingredients at the centre of the meal, including produce that may be unfamiliar even to local diners.
The restaurant sits on Level 48 of Naza Tower and holds two stars in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Kuala Lumpur & Penang. It is a place to consider when you want dinner to be the main event, rather than a stop before something else.
What makes Dewakan different?
Dewakan says most of its produce comes from Malaysia. Michelin highlights its use of fermentation, ageing, seasonal fruit and herbs, along with dinnerware made by local artists.
The appeal is in seeing familiar ingredients used differently and getting to know others you may not have tried. Ask the team where an ingredient comes from or how it is prepared. You do not need to be a food expert to enjoy that conversation.
What kind of food can you expect?
In a July 2018 FirstClasse report, writer Natalie Khoo described an eggplant preparation brushed with keluak paste, with mushroom and candlenut foam. The same article covered a sweet leaf sorbet served with nam nam.
Those are past dishes, not a current menu. They give a useful sense of the kitchen’s approach: vegetables, leaves and local fruit can take the lead, rather than simply accompany a more expensive ingredient.
A tasting menu is a sequence of dishes chosen by the kitchen. Think of it as following a story through several courses, rather than ordering a starter, main and dessert yourself.
Come with someone who enjoys trying new things. If either of you strongly prefers choosing individual dishes, discuss the format before making a reservation.
A setting for a special evening
The high floor brings city views, while the private dining room shown below has timber walls, softly lit shelves and a long table. For a celebration, ask which seating options suit your group instead of assuming every table has the same outlook.
