How to Book a Restaurant Table in KL and Selangor with Grab Dine Out

At a glance: If you live or dine in the Klang Valley, you can reserve a table at participating restaurants right inside the Grab app with Grab Dine Out’s Book Table feature. There’s no need to call ahead or download another app. You’ll earn 150 GrabCoins for every successful booking. You can also save with 25% off your total bill on your first visit to any Grab Dine Out restaurant.

Why book through Grab Dine Out?

Grab Dine Out brings the whole dining-out journey into one app:

  • Discover: search by occasion, cuisine, ratings, discounts or walking distance, and check menus, photos and verified reviews before you go.
  • Book: reserve a table instantly at participating restaurants.
  • Save: use Dine Out discounts when you pay in-store, with no pre-purchase needed.
  • Earn: collect GrabCoins to spend across Grab, from rides to food delivery.

Step by step: how to book a table

  1. Open the Grab app and tap Dine Out.
  2. Tap the Book Table tile, or look for the Book a Table button on a restaurant’s page.
  3. Choose the number of pax, date, preferred time and seating section if one is offered.
  4. Submit your booking.
  5. Check your email for the confirmation. Your reservation will also appear under Upcoming Bookings on the Dine Out homepage.

Changing or cancelling a booking

Plans change, especially in KL traffic. Find your reservation under Upcoming Bookings or Activity History, then open the booking confirmation page to edit or cancel. Changes are subject to each restaurant’s terms. Cancelling early is always appreciated, because it frees the table for another diner.

Good to know before you book

  • Deposits: some restaurants ask for a deposit to prevent no-shows. This is most common for set menus, large groups, specific days or special occasions. If one applies, you’ll be prompted during booking.
  • Multiple bookings: you can make more than one reservation in a day, but each must be more than 1 hour apart.
  • Participating restaurants only: look for the Book a Table button. Not every Dine Out restaurant takes reservations yet.

How to save when you dine

Grab Dine Out deals are redeemed when you pay in-store:

  • First-visit discount: 25% off your total bill at your first visit to any Grab Dine Out restaurant, with no minimum spend and no discount cap. Pay cashless with GrabPay Wallet, PayLater, a linked GX Account, or a credit or debit card.
  • Everyday discounts: around KL you’ll find offers such as 10% to 20% off the total bill at spots ranging from hand-pulled noodle shops to nasi lemak favourites.

If you are comparing reservation apps in Malaysia, Eatigo is another option for off-peak dining discounts. Its deals are tied to selected time slots, so discounts may be higher when you dine outside busy lunch or dinner hours. Grab Dine Out works differently: you book participating restaurants through Grab, then redeem available deals when you pay in-store. Choose Eatigo when your schedule is flexible and the time-based saving matters most; choose Grab Dine Out when you want table booking, Grab payment options and GrabCoins in one app.

  • PayLater top-up: pay with PayLater for an extra 20% off, capped at RM10. This is limited to two redemptions per month and can be stacked with restaurant discounts.

How reservation app coverage differs across Malaysia

Coverage varies by platform and city. Grab Dine Out’s Book Table feature currently focuses on participating restaurants in the Klang Valley, including Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, while its dining deals are available in more Malaysian cities. Eatigo is also useful for selected restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Bahru, especially when you are looking for time-based, off-peak discounts.

OpenTable and Chope may have more limited coverage in Malaysia than in some other countries, so restaurant listings can vary by city and date. If you are dining in Kuala Lumpur, check Grab Dine Out and Eatigo first, then compare the restaurant’s availability, booking terms and discounts. In Penang or Johor Bahru, search by restaurant name across the apps, since the best option depends on which platform the venue actively supports.

FAQ

Is Book Table available outside the Klang Valley?

Grab Dine Out’s Book Table feature currently focuses on participating restaurants in the Klang Valley, including Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. However, Dine Out deals are available in more Malaysian cities, including Penang, Johor Bahru, Ipoh and Melaka. Coverage can vary by restaurant and date, so check the Grab app for the latest listings.

How many GrabCoins do I earn per booking?

Do I have to pay to make a reservation?
