Ramadan is a time of togetherness – a month in which families come together and a month in which you bump into old friends at Tarawih who you shamefully haven’t been in contact with since last Ramadan!
Iftaar is a great excuse to get together with friends or family and for that (of course!) you’ll be needing a good restaurant to eat at. For the last 2 years that has been difficult because of the pandemic, but Alhamdulillah restaurants are now all open for indoor dining, so your Iftaar meet-ups can resume!
I’ve come up with a 2022 list of restaurants for you to visit for Iftar this Ramadan. You’ll find that I’ve tried to include a variety of cuisines and have included restaurants from all corners of London.
The criteria to be included in my list was simple:
(1) good food
(2) no alcohol served, and
(3) a place to pray closeby.
If you prefer to cook Iftar at home, then you’ve got to get your hands on our 2021 Ramadan e-Cookbook. Full of recipes from our favourite bloggers, chefs and restaurants, and all the money raised goes towards building classrooms in Pakistan!
