Ramadan is almost upon us and with this auspicious occasion being so popular in Dubai there are not a few but tons of restaurant’s and hotels doing Iftars and Suhoor’s. Knowing how much people love to have a good meal after a long day of fasting I did a round up on some of the place’s you could try this Ramadan.

Saraya Tent, Armani Hotel – Elegantly styled tent at the pavilion of Armani hotel is the sophisticatedly style tent where you can experience a daily changing Iftar and Suhoor menus as well as a la carte shisha’s. Classic Arabic flavours from around the region share the table with inspired signature dishes from Armani hotel Dubai’s five award winning restaurants all set against the reflective backdrop of the Dubai Fountain. Now this will surely be one of a kind Iftar to remember.

Mint Leaf Of London, DIFC – If you fancy some Indian food which is ligh on the stomach and isn’t too greasy or oily Mint Leaf Of London is the place to be.
