Ramadan 2023 is here. That means the joyous and glorious celebration of togetherness through meals is also here. Traditionally, the Ramadan fast is broken with dates and water followed by a light meal. However, over the years, Iftar, the night feast that marks the breaking of the fast, has taken a more celebratory mood as families, friends, and colleagues gather together to partake in delicious dishes in grander venues like hotels and restaurants.
Here are the offerings of hotels and restaurants that will make your Iftar with your loved ones all the more special.
