Where London Is Breaking Fast This Ramadan
Ramadan is a month of reflection, prayer and community, observed by Muslims across the world. From dawn until sunset, those fasting abstain from food and drink, gathering at sundown to break fast with iftar — often beginning with dates and water before a shared meal.
In London, restaurants across the city mark the occasion with considered iftar menus, generous spreads and spaces designed for coming together. Whether you’re breaking your fast, hosting friends and family, or simply looking to understand the rhythms of the month a little better, here’s where London is gathering at sunset this Ramadan.
The Wellington Lounge at InterContinental Park Lane
At InterContinental London Park Lane, award-winning chef Ayesha Kalaji has created a Ramadan menu served in The Wellington Lounge from 18 February to 18 March. The feast opens with sorba and savoury mezzes — Teta’s pink turnip pickles, laverbread falafel, Nabulsi cheese — before moving into generous sharing dishes including makmoura. Desserts follow, with chocolate, mahleb and raspberry bringing the meal to a close. A contemporary take on Middle Eastern cooking, grounded in tradition but shaped by seasonality.

Bacchanalia
At Bacchanalia, iftar arrives as a considered addition to dinner rather than a separate sitting. For £20 per person, guests begin with dates, halva, Turkish delight and kefir before continuing with the restaurant’s à la carte menu. The experience closes with golden filo custard, a delicate final note that folds tradition into Bacchanalia’s maximalist Mayfair setting.

Little Baobab
London’s only Senegalese restaurant is hosting weekly Ramadan Nights, bringing West African flavours to the iftar table. Expect a buffet of Fish Fataya, Lamb Thiou, Jollof Rice and spinach stew, alongside Café Touba and traditional Attaya tea. Taking place on 19 and 25 February, and 5 and 12 March, tickets are £35 per person, with 15% donated to charity.

Ta’mini Lebanese Bakery
At Ta’mini’s Kensington and Russell Square bakeries, iftar begins simply: dates, lentil soup, fresh pitta and fattoush. From there, guests choose a manakish or wrap before finishing with something sweet — perhaps a Kunafa Kaak. Priced at £25 per person and served daily from sunset until 8pm, it’s a relaxed, neighbourhood option rooted in Lebanese tradition.

The Mayfair Chippy
The Mayfair Chippy in Knightsbridge is marking Ramadan with a four-course menu that blends its classics with Middle Eastern touches. After dates, lentil soup and lemon-mint water, guests enjoy a mezze-style course before choosing from platters including fried cod and prawns, Middle Eastern shepherd’s pie or chermoula-marinated seabass. A selection of miniature puddings — strawberry trifle, lemon tart, chocolate mousse — rounds things off. £48 per guest, available daily after 5pm.

Iftar Supper Club at Aram by Imad
Imad Alarnab hosts three Iftar supper clubs at Aram’s private dining space in Somerset House (25 February, 5 and 12 March). The evenings unfold with generous sharing mezze, slow-roasted lamb shoulder with fragrant rice, and Mnazeleh — chickpeas and aubergine spiced with cumin and tomato. Dessert? A crisp filo, pistachio ice cream and glaze. A portion of ticket sales will be donated to charities, including Action Syria and Choose Love.

The meal opens with fruit chaat, dates and rose sherbet, followed by kebabs and comforting dishes like Chicken Kali Mirch and Yakhi Pulao. Phirni, scented with cardamom, closes the evening — a menu shaped by memory as much as tradition.
