Rang Mahal at Naumi Hotel and Amrith by The Song of India have both been reported in October food guides with Diwali menus (a thali buffet from $58++ and a $68++ set, respectively), but neither menu was on the restaurant's own website when we checked on 21 October, so we have left them out until the details are confirmed. Rang Mahal's 2026 Mythical Gardens mithai collection is on sale (collection until 2 November, with 10% of net profits going to the Breast Cancer Foundation).
Every price and date was read on 21 October 2026 from each restaurant's own channels: Shahi Maharani's Deepavali 2026 guide, Spice Mahal's Sunday buffet page and menu posters, Gully's promotions page and Diwali menu PDF, the SanSara Diwali Feast page on Millennium Hotels, Tiffin Room's SevenRooms booking page and official menu, Raffles Grab & Go, and Grand Hyatt's StraitsKitchen page. Festive menus can change at short notice, so confirm when you book.
Deepavali falls on Sunday, 8 November 2026. Because it is a Sunday, Monday 9 November 2026 is a public holiday, which gives most people a three-day long weekend from 7 to 9 November. Restaurant festive menus mostly run in the week around it, from 26 October (Tiffin Room) or 2 November (Shahi Maharani) to 8 or 9 November.
Of the restaurants that had published 2026 details by 21 October, the cheapest is $48++ per adult (about $58 nett): Shahi Maharani's Diwali Gastronomic Week lunch buffet at Raffles City from 2 to 6 November, or Spice Mahal's Sunday buffet lunch at The Plaza, which falls on Deepavali Day itself (8 November). Spice Mahal's weekday thali buffet is cheaper still at $30++, but it is a regular menu rather than a Deepavali one.
Yes. StraitsKitchen at Grand Hyatt Singapore (10 Scotts Road) is halal-certified and has a Deepavali buffet on 7 and 8 November 2026, lunch 12pm-2.30pm and dinner 6pm-9.30pm. Grand Hyatt has not published separate festive prices; its regular weekend rates are $72++ to $90++ per adult, so ask for the Deepavali price when booking.
Gully ($60++ vegetarian set, 1 October-30 November), SanSara ($88++ vegetarian set, 4-8 November) and Tiffin Room ($128++ vegetarian menu, 26 October-8 November) all run a separate vegetarian Diwali menu. The buffets at Shahi Maharani and Spice Mahal also include plenty of vegetarian dishes such as paneer, dal and vegetable curries.
Yes, especially for 7 to 9 November. SanSara requires a reservation for its Diwali Feast, Spice Mahal and Shahi Maharani recommend booking, and Tiffin Room charges the full set price or $50 per person for late cancellations (within 24 hours, or 48 hours on Fridays and Saturdays). Weekdays such as 2 to 6 November are easier to book and, at Shahi Maharani, $10 cheaper per adult.
