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.
After the success of HFD’s Iftar list last year, I’ve come up with a 2019 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 within walking distance.
A special thanks goes to the following restaurants who have kindly offered our followers 10% off during the month of Ramadan! (Burger UK, Two Buns, Affogato and Moor and Hitch). All offers are only valid from Iftar time until closing time. And not forgetting those who have made special arrangements for visitors to pray their Salah (prayers) at the restaurant.
Finally, I’ve recently released my podcast What’s on the Table and I’ve recorded an episode all about the sorts of foods to eat and avoid eating (probably a lot of the food you see below!) during Ramadan, as well as tips on using the gym during the Blessed month. You can check it out on the Apple Podcast App and on Spotify, as well as all other major Podcast apps!
Hope you find the list helpful – Enjoy, and please remember me in your duas!
