Sharing in the traditions of Ramadan (and the joyful Eid celebrations that follow this most holy month) has always been of the deepest importance at Dishoom.

For Muslims around the world, Ramadan is a time of private worship and spiritual discipline: but also of shared meals, and the togetherness that is so dear to us. Our Meal for a Meal initiative was also inspired by an act of zakat, or charitable giving. So it is our greatest joy to be able to gather people of all faiths during this auspicious time, to break fast and commune – with a little added help from our delectable Iftar special and first-class Iftar Feast Menus.
