Ramadan: London’s Best Iftar Meals For 2025

Over the next few weeks, Muslims from all over the world will be observing the Islamic month of Ramadan. Expected to take place from 28 February to 30 March this year (the dates are dependent on the sighting of the crescent moon), the holy month is marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. After sunset, people observing Ramadan break their fast during a meal known as Iftar, with many restaurants offering special menus for the occasion. Below, we highlight where to go in London for Iftar meals this year.
