Food Hospitality
Ramadan Iftar – the main meal of the day during the holy month plays an important role. It is kind of an event where family and community members gather to end their day’s fast and connect religiously and socially over some yummy food and drinks. The Iftar tables are a scene to watch out for as they have a full-course meal consisting of the soup, appetizers, salad, and main dishes.
Let’s take a look on Iftar tables from around the world. Get ready for a gastronomical journey.
