Planning an iftar menu for a group
From breaking the fast to dessert, everything you need to host.
The three moments of iftar
A good iftar often follows the same rhythm:
- Breaking the fast: dates and water, often followed by a warm soup, such as lentil soup.
- The meal: fresh mezze to wake up the appetite, then a generous main course, for example mandi rice with chicken or beef.
- Tea time: oriental sweets and fruit, after prayer.
Would you like lentil soup or dates? Mention it in your message and we will see together what we can provide.

After a day of fasting, people often eat less than they expect. For a group, 3 mezze and a main course are plenty; add dessert if you are spending the evening together.
What time to have it delivered?
The time to break the fast shifts by a few minutes every day. We agree a delivery time with you before maghrib, so everything is set up when your guests arrive.
For associations, mosques and companies
For a community iftar of 150 people or more, delivery is free anywhere in Belgium. Organising several evenings? Say so in your request and we will quote for the whole of Ramadan. Companies receive an invoice in their name.
