Ramadan is a time for reflection and sharing, and as part of that Shangri-La, Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi is welcoming guests to break their fasts with family at the venue’s superb grand iftar buffet.
Enjoying the beautiful recitation of Athan prayers from the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque across the canal, diners can try a range of delicious dishes at Sofra bld including Ramadan juices and Arabic coffee for Dhs242 per person from sunset to 8.30pm. And if guests book their iftar meal before Monday April 19, they will receive 20 percent off the experience.
However, if staying in is the preferred option, Shangri-La Hotel is providing iftar on the go for those wishing to end their fast in the comfort of their own homes. From Dhs299, diners can select from four set menus of Middle Eastern, Moroccan, Indian and Asian fare that can be collected at the hotel or delivered straight to the front door by Deliveroo. Simply call 02 509 8507 or 02 509 8508 90 minutes before pick-up time.
For suhoor, take stock for the coming day in the luxurious surrounds of Shangri-La Hotel’s suhoor village. Head to The Pool and ESS Lounge to sample an authentic Arabic atmosphere. Nibble on kunafas, baklavas, chocolates and more from one of the dessert stations or go for a bite from the specially crafted suhoor a la carte menu and then close off the evening underneath the stars. Guests can choose between three seating options (depending on family size) at the pool and beach, in the specially social distanced Hikayat Lounge and Aladin & Jasmin Majilis. Shisha is also served.
