What you’re looking for this Ramadan

Iftar at sunset

The meal that breaks the fast each evening. Start with dates and water, then look for restaurants with special iftar menus or buffets — Middle Eastern, Pakistani, Afghan, Turkish, and Bangladeshi spots traditionally run the most.

Suhoor before dawn

The pre-dawn meal that sustains you through the day’s fast. Look for restaurants that open very early or stay open overnight — Dearborn, Scarborough, and East London are all known for their suhoor scenes.

Late-night halal

Shawarma carts, 24-hour grills, and late-night sweet shops keep Ramadan nights alive. Filter by rating and distance to find the best ones near you — community reviews often flag which places run special late-night Ramadan hours.

Frequently asked questions about Ramadan dining

What's the best way to find halal restaurants open for iftar?

Use Zabihah's city guides to filter by your location and sort by rating. Many restaurants extend their hours during Ramadan for iftar (the meal at sunset) and suhoor (the pre-dawn meal), and community reviews will tell you which ones run special Ramadan menus or all-you-can-eat buffets.

Are halal restaurants open late for suhoor?

Many halal restaurants in cities with large Muslim communities stay open late during Ramadan — some until 2 or 3 AM, a few 24/7. Dearborn (MI), Edgware Road (London), Scarborough (Toronto), and Lakemba (Sydney) are all known for their late-night halal scenes during Ramadan.

What is iftar?

Iftar is the meal that breaks the fast at sunset each day of Ramadan. It traditionally starts with dates and water, followed by a full meal. Many halal restaurants offer special iftar menus or buffets during Ramadan — Zabihah listings include community reviews that often mention whether a restaurant runs iftar specials.

What is suhoor?

Suhoor is the pre-dawn meal Muslims eat before beginning the day's fast during Ramadan. It's typically eaten shortly before the fajr (dawn) prayer. Some halal restaurants open very early or stay open overnight to serve suhoor — check local listings or reviews to find ones in your area.

Do Zabihah listings show Ramadan hours?

Listings show the restaurant's standard hours and community reviews. Many Zabihah users update reviews during Ramadan to note special iftar menus and extended hours, so it's worth reading the most recent reviews for any place you're considering.
