Our Favourite Iftars & Suhoors From Dubai To Doha & Abu Dhabi

Ramadan always changes the rhythm of the city. Days feel gentler, nights stretch longer, and suddenly we’re all searching for places that let us slow down, gather properly, and make a meal feel meaningful.

This season, Dubai and Abu Dhabi are offering some beautifully considered Iftar and Suhoor experiences, from homegrown Emirati flavours to garden settings, fragrance-inspired majlis moments, and sharing tables designed for long conversations.

Here’s where we’re booking.

At Gerbou, Ramadan feels intimate and rooted in culture. Dubai’s go-to destination for Emirati-inspired cuisine is serving both Iftar and Suhoor set menus alongside curated delivery boxes for nights at home. Expect comforting soups, vibrant salads, Bahraini kebabs, Chicken Kabsa, Lamb Mtabban, and nostalgic desserts like Um Ali and saffron kunafa, all served in Gerbou’s warm, story-driven space. Iftar runs from sunset to 9pm at AED 320 per person, while Suhoor follows from 9pm until 3am at AED 315. The à la carte menu is also available throughout the night for those who prefer to mix and match.

Over at The Lana Dubai, Ramadan comes with a sensory twist thanks to a collaboration with KAYALI, founded by Mona Kattan. Set within Veranda overlooking Marasi Bay, the KAYALI Majlis offers a fragrance-inspired Iftar experience curated by Chef Jouni Ibrahim. The AED 395 per person set menu blends hot and cold mezze, sushi and sashimi, Arabic mixed grill, Ouzi, truffle pasta, and Middle Eastern desserts, paired with premium Arabic coffee and refreshing beverages. It’s generous, glamorous, and designed for sharing.

If outdoor dining is your Ramadan love language, Raffles Dubai delivers a beautiful garden setting for both Iftar and Suhoor. Their Raffles Garden Iftar unfolds under open skies with live cooking stations, Ramadan juices, fine teas, and coffee, priced at AED 235 per adult. Later in the evening, Suhoor takes over with à la carte dining and shisha for those who like to linger. There are also private garden cabanas for intimate gatherings, in-room Iftar and Suhoor for quieter nights, and a refined Ramadan dessert stand in Raffles Salon if you’re only stopping by for something sweet.

For those craving something refined yet comforting, one of our absolute fav, ROKA Dubai introduces a contemporary Japanese take on Iftar at AED 180 per person. The experience begins with dates, a welcome drink, and gluten-free miso soup, followed by starters like iceberg lettuce salad with caramelised onion dressing, crispy prawn avocado maki, and chicken karaage finished with gochujang glaze. Guests then choose a main, from teriyaki-glazed salmon to slow-braised beef short rib or cedar-roasted baby chicken, all served with steamed rice. Dessert is your pick from ROKA’s signature selection, rounding out an evening designed to unfold slowly around flavour and togetherness, framed by the restaurant’s open robata grill.

Ramadan isn’t just about where you eat. It’s about who you gather with, how long you stay, and creating space for connection. Whether you’re breaking fast in a garden, sharing mezze by the sea, or keeping things close to home, this season’s Iftar and Suhoor spots remind us that the best moments still happen around the table.
