Iftar in Colombo

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.

    whats the point of fasting if you are going to feast like this for ifthar? This is unislamic and rather makes a mockery of the purpose of Fasting.

    • Lathefa says:

      Firoz I totally agree with you.

  2. ifaz says:

    All the weight you loose during the fasting period is gained again by one meal like this. should avoid.
