13 delicious places in London to break your fast during Ramadan

SHAFAQNA – If you are fasting, then you already know that one of your favourite parts of the day is Iftar. After spending daylight hours abstaining from food and drink the time has now come to break fast, relax and basically eat as much as you can.

But sometimes eating out during the month of Ramadan can be difficult because Iftar is late in the evening.

Fear not because we’ve got a roundup of the best and yummiest places in London that have late openings, and offer special menus for you to get stuck into.

1. Boondocks

If you’re craving an all-American spectacular feast then Boondocks should be on your list.

Take your pick from delights such as date cookies, the famous Big Stax burger, chicken and waffles and red velvet cake. Or you can go all out and get involved with their secret menu.

From 26 May to 4 June they are running a special Iftar event, with a set menu taking place at sundown every evening, make sure you book tickets in advance, as it will be popular.

 

2. Dishoom

Foodie favourite Dishoom will be serving complimentary dates and nimbu pani (lemon water) to everyone waiting for a table at Iftar.

So take your pick from the closest thing you will get to a Bombay cafe in the UK with offerings such as their famous chicken tikka, spicy lamb chops or their calamari.

 

3. Intercontinental Park Lane

If you’re after something more on the swanky side, then look no further because The Intercontinental on Park Lane has you covered with its special Middle Eastern menu.

The menu will be constantly changing and will feature items such as fresh and dried fruits, cheese sambousik, shish tahouk, halal mixed meat and seafood grill, and of course a homemade dessert selection.

Make sure you book to avoid disappointment.

 

4. Tarshish

If you fancy Turkish cuisine then head down to Tarshish for your feast on mezze, fancy kebabs and their famous steaks.

Just remember to save space for the warm baklava.

 

5. HS & Co

Steak, steak and more steak. Also a few options such as the falafel and halloumi burger. This is what is on offer here in Stratford, where you can tuck into an Irish steak cooked in their Josper Grill.

And in case you were wondering what a Josper Grill is, it is one of those super fancy cooking machine contraptions aimed to make steaks as delicious as possible.

There is also a special Ramadan menu with items such as slow cooked BBQ beef ribs and their famous breakfast burger.

 

6. Brioche Burger

Yes, this is where you will meet your match.

Get stuck into a range of burgers, and definitely order a portion of the chilli fries.

 

7. Mamounia Lounge

This place is all about food, drinks and of course shisha.
