Ramadan 2015: 5 Best Iftars in Dubai

Junoon, The Shangri-La Hotel

One of the most liked restaurants in Dubai is Junoon, an Indian restaurant whose roots lie in New York.  Of course, four continuous years of Michelin star at its original New York outpost has rubbed off on its Dubai branch and it is apparent in its special Iftar menu. The Indian restaurant is serving a delicious platter of modern chaats, kebabs, biryanis and curries, including goat kebab, black dal and tender chicken tikka and crispy eggplant chaat. Make sure to savour their mango tapioca pudding with pistachio meringue and pomegranate.

Dh220. Sunset to 9:30 pm

Delphine, The H Duba

This year Delphine has decided to make Iftar even more special by invoking different seven flavours of the Arab world each night of the week. Guests will break their fast with sharing-style mezze delivered to the table. Later, visit each of the cooking stations to savour authentic tastes from each region - Emirati (Sunday), Moroccan (Monday), Syrian (Tuesday), Turkish (Wednesday), Egyptian (Thursday), Lebanese (Friday), and Iranian (Saturday).

Dh160. Sunset to 8:30 pm. À la carte suhoor follows until 11:30 pm

Asateer Tent, Atlantis The Palm

The Asateer Tent @ Atlantis The Palm has always been a classic Iftar favourite. Located along the beachfront and providing gorgeous views of the Arabian Gulf, it features over 100 traditional Arabic dishes from North Africa, the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula. The stunning ambience includes a Royal Majlis and seven exclusive Majlis areas with 46” large plasma screens, complimentary wi-fi, play stations and private prayer rooms for both men and women. Don't miss out on gems from executive chef Ali El Bourji. Signature dishes include a shawarma Fattah station, chicken musakhan (Arabic chicken wraps), lobster tagine with couscous and slow-cooked lamb shoulder with Oriental rice and Emirati lamb thareed.
