Cover New York Italian-American diner Sabato's at Kimpton Naluria, Kuala Lumpur

Located within the heart of Tun Razak Exchange, the iconic Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur will leave you spoiled for choice when it comes to dining options

One of the most highly anticipated hotel openings of the year was the arrival of Malaysia’s first Kimpton, Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur. Connected to the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), the hotel enjoys one of the city centre’s most prime locations, with easy access to the shopping mall and a wealth of surrounding food and beverage offerings.

That said, there is little reason to venture beyond the hotel to experience Kuala Lumpur’s exciting culinary landscape. Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur is home to four distinct dining concepts, ranging from local and western cuisine with a twist and an Italian-American 1970s joint to a coffee shop celebrating locally-roasted beans as well as a spice-themed rooftop bar. With such an eclectic lineup, guests are undoubtedly spoiled for choice when it comes to dining and drinking at Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur.

Tuai + Till

This isn’t your typical hotel dining spot. Guided by a farm-to-table philosophy, Tuai + Till takes on two distinct personalities after breakfast, reflected not only in its offerings but also in its decor and overall dining experience.

Tuai, which means “harvest” in Malay, celebrates the flavours of the region, with local and Peranakan-inspired dishes ranging from otak-otak to slow-braised beef rendang. On the other side, Till takes a more Western approach, serving familiar bistro fare with a contemporary touch, from poached salmon bouillabaisse to Wagyu steak frites.

Once a month, look forward to the heritage all-you-can-eat feast that happens on the final weekend of every month. Together, the two concepts offer a dining experience that feels varied yet cohesive, bringing together local heritage and modern comfort under one roof.

Four Siblings is the country’s first and only spice-themed cocktail bar, putting cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, star anise and other aromatic spices at the heart of its concept. The distinctive South American flair carries through every aspect of the experience, with spices used to add depth, fragrance and unexpected layers to the drinks.

Sabato’s is Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur’s signature dining space, and the first and only 1970s retro-inspired Italian-American dining experience in the country. The restaurant is decked out in bold red tiles and playful details, with a disco ball adding a touch of retro glamour to the space, celebrating music with a vinyl record jukebox, the place to be for special occasions.

Start with small plates such as meatballs with gravy before moving on to larger sharing mains, including spicy rigatoni pasta and chicken parmigiana, which bring together comforting Italian flavours with a distinctly New York-inspired character. Other tantalising signatures include the Godfather’s Meatballs, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Grilled Malabar Snapper, and Knickerbocker Glory.

To round out the meal, Sabato’s new cocktail menu invites guests into a spirited love story in 1978, a clandestine moment told one drink at a time. Each cocktail captures a chapter of the night, from the first encounter to the inevitable goodbye. Playful, provocative and steeped in nostalgia, the menu brings Sabato’s retro Italian-American world to life through contemporary cocktail craft.

Look forward to the Sabato's Social Club, a daily Aperitivo hour from 6pm-8pm. Its theme, which changes monthly, features bottomless beverages and a curated bite.

Celebrating the best of Malaysian coffee culture, Rise & Grind proves that you don’t have to choose between local flavours and artisanal coffee. The café brings together both in a distinctly Malaysian setting, pairing speciality drinks with familiar local-inspired treats.

Coffee made with locally-roasted beans pairs with freshly baked favourites such as Pandan Kaya Swiss Rolls and Teh Tarik Madeleines add a comforting taste of home. The result is a café experience that blends the craft of modern coffee with the flavours and ingredients that make Malaysia’s food culture so unique.
