Twinkling lights and a generous use of mirrors transform this sprawling venue into a setting straight out of One Thousand and One Nights. While there’s no Scheherazade in sight to narrate the fabled story, the heaving buffet table surely recites its own tale.

Arabian seating arrangement

The menu at this Majlis offers a delicious mix of regional favourites, from carb-heavy Egyptian fare like koshary and fattah to Lebanese and Turkish cuisine. Guests can also expect to find some Pakistani delicacies such as jalebi (pretzel-shaped dough soaked in sugar syrup) and samosas (minced meat and/or vegetables wrapped in pastry and deep-fried or baked), plus chatni and namak para for dessert.

Guests at this Iftar Majlis can sit around low tables with their loved ones to enjoy a traditional Arabian seating arrangement while indulging in a wide range of delicious foods.
