Location: Lot 7 . 01 . 04, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, 168, Jln Bukit Bintang, Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Serai at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur is the flagship outlet of the Malaysian fine-dining restaurant group that specialises in elevated Malay and Indonesian cuisine. Located on Level 6 of Pavilion Elite at Lot 6.01.02, the restaurant presents traditional regional dishes in a refined contemporary setting, with dark wood furnishings, batik-inspired accents, and attentive service that together create an atmosphere more formal than the typical mall dining experience.
The menu is anchored by two signature dishes: the Daging Salai Masak Lemak Cili Api, featuring smoked beef in a rich, fiery turmeric-coconut gravy, and the Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak, river catfish cooked in fermented durian paste. Other highlights include Rendang Daging, Ayam Percik, and various sambal-accompanied rice sets. The kitchen sources ingredients with care — the tempoyak is house-made, and the salai (smoked) meat is prepared traditionally. Desserts such as pengat pisang and serawa durian provide a proper Malay finish to the meal.
Serai Pavilion operates from 10am to 10pm daily. The restaurant is halal-certified and is considered one of the more accomplished Malay fine-dining options in the city. Reservations are recommended for dinner and weekends. Pavilion Elite is accessible via the Bukit Bintang MRT station.
