2018 Iftar options in Dubai

Ramadan in Dubai has changed over the past few years. It’s no longer about the big, fancy tents with extravagantly priced iftars any more (not that they aren’t still around). Most eateries now have iftar menus either in a buffet set up or with set menus. Either way you are definitely spoilt for choice!

This time around we bring you a few Iftar options that we’ve tried including traditional menus along with a few different cuisines as well, ranging from simple cafes to fine dining. Here’s our list of iftar options around town.

Also, don’t forget to follow us on Instagram to view our experiences through Stories and our Iftar Highlights.

Note: Keep an eye on this page because we will keep updating it as we experience more iftars in Dubai.

Ramadan Nights by Dish, a Pop-up Iftar

Ramadan Nights is a pop-up space that serves a culinary Iftar experience. Dish Catering has taken over an Al Quoz warehouse and transformed it into a makeshift restaurant with Moroccan themed furniture and tables lit with candles. It’s a cosy, somewhat romantic setting and definitely something different to try out this Ramadan.

Ethiopian themed Iftar at Gursha

A new authentic Ethiopian restaurant that is very promising. This is Gursha’s first year presenting an Iftar to customers. It’s simple and hearty, maybe not to everyone’s taste as some items are quite tangy and some relatively bland. Either way it is definitely something to consider if you want to try something different (whether during Ramadan or any other time really). Traditionally, the style of eating is with one’s hands so don’t be shy about doing so.
