Ramadan Kareem to everyone. This year the holy month of Ramadan started on 6th May. It is a month of fasting, prayers and celebrations. Ramadan is the time I look forward to Iftar.
Iftar is the meal with which Muslims break their daily fast during Ramadan. Traditionally the fast is broken with dates and water before prayers, followed by Iftar. Nothing can match a delicious Iftar at home but there are many restaurants and hotels offering sumptuous Iftar buffets and set menu.
Here’s a roundup of some of the Iftars that I tried this year:
