The stunning KLCC view
Though the floor it’s on is labelled as 99, Alva KL is actually located just above the 56th floor. So you’ll be almost exactly at eye level with the Petronas Twin Towers. Touted as one of the best views of the KL city skyline, you’ll be able to catch sights of the TRX Tower, Petronas Twin Towers, and KLCC!
The gorgeous interior
Inspired by modern contemporary, Alva’s interior invokes a classy, luxurious feel. With plush leather and suede sprawling throughout the restaurant, it’s the perfect place for an intimate candlelit dinner date. Marble furnishings are also spread throughout the restaurant, and you can catch a peek at Alva’s unique negative space sign right over the bar, displaying liquor and the like with an artistic flair.

Alva’s reasonably priced, thank goodness, and pork-free menu is sure to delight. Alva’s passionate team of chefs craft and curate quality dishes. Combining flavours, colours, and aromas to tantalise your palate.

For something meatier, their Grilled Lamb Skewers are a super juicy and unctuous affair that’s sure to make you salivate. Served with a toum (Lebanese garlic sauce) spread that’s seriously herbaceous and flavourful, the tender meat paired with aromas of garlic and slight piquant flavours of the sauce is a flavour bomb.
Try also their unique lotus root chips, something that many a Chinese person is used to seeing in Chinese New Year open houses, yet, at Alva KL, they’re an elevated and light fare that’s super crispy and satisfying to bite into.
The sippable drinks
Alva’s curated cocktail menu presents some classics, like Long Island Iced Teas and Cosmopolitans, however, the real stars of the show and centre stage among the sea of cocktails are actually the series of original cocktails from Alva’s very own bar. Stars like the Citrus Sunset, a floral and tangy blend of French vodka, elderflower, and orange marmalade.

Or even the Flamingo Dancers, a tropical and local twist with American rum, jackfruit, and tamarind. This cocktail will surely transport you to Malaysian beaches with every refreshing sip, a tropical breeze lightly wafting upon your cheeks.
Affordable sky dining
Aficionados of sky dining are surely familiar with the equally sky-high prices, especially at locales as gorgeous as Alva. However, their menu offerings are instead affordable and super wallet-friendly. For as low as RM20 for a main, their offerings range between price points of RM12 to RM138. If you’re looking for a cheaper sky dining experience, Alva’s got you. And if you’re looking for elevated fare, Alva’s got you too. There’s a little something for everyone!
