The other day we had the pleasure of meeting the famous brand chef from Famous Dave’s, Jean Strauss. I will always remember what he had said – “if it’s anything less than 5 hours, then it is NOT B-B-Q.”
My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous iftar experience at Shangri-La Hotel in Abu Dhabi. We arrived a few minutes before the prayer sounded to break the fast. I had a few minutes to settle in and enjoy the amazing view this hotel has to offer – across the waters you will see the Grand Mosque in all it’s glory with the sun setting in the background.
This Ramadan, they are hosting their Grand Iftar Buffet inside at the Sofra-bld. Hosts awaited the guests to arrive in the lobby and accompanied them to the Sofra bld up to their seats. I was especially looking forward to this Iftar as it was specially crafted by 2 Michelin-starred Executive Chef Mansour Memarian!
Last week, we were guests at an iftar gathering at Market Kitchen. It was hosted by chef Suzanne Husseini who curated the menu and placed final touches on each of the plates. For AED 200 pp, guests can indulge in a specially curated iftar menu.
