Ramadan is a time of spirituality and reflection, but it is also a time for sharing food - especially Iftar table staples such as conjee, short eats and dates - with our loved ones and neighbours. While homemade Iftar is made with plenty of love, once in a while, you just want to take a break and eat out. So whether you're observing Ramadan, or you're simply a fan of food served at Iftar tables, this list is here to help.
From extravagant Iftar buffets to snack boxes, we've got everything covered.
