Search "iftar buffet Sharjah" during Ramadan and most of what comes up is five-star hotel spreads priced well past AED 100 — impressive once, hard to justify every evening of the month. A lot of Sharjah residents want something closer to home: a proper iftar that doesn't need a special occasion to justify it, on a menu they already trust the rest of the year.
How Ramadan works at Taier Al Monal
The kitchen doesn't switch to a separate "Ramadan menu" — iftar and suhoor draw from the same biryani, karahi, handi and live tandoor BBQ menu served the rest of the year, just timed around sunset and pre-dawn instead of a regular lunch or dinner service. Exact Ramadan hours shift with the moon sighting each year, so contact us close to the start of the month for that year's confirmed iftar and suhoor timings.
What that means on the table
- Dates and a light starter to open the fast, ahead of the main spread
- Chicken and mutton biryani, karahi and handi as the main course
- Live tandoor BBQ — tandoori boti, seekh kabab, malai boti — the same counter used for the regular weekday and weekend buffet
- Fresh naan and tandoori roti, straight off the tawa
- A dessert finish — gulab jamun, kheer and other classics
Group iftar and majlis-style bookings
Ramadan is when family and community iftar gatherings peak — a majlis-style group iftar for extended family, an office iftar for colleagues, or a larger community gathering. These run through the same catering tiers as any other event: Gathering (50–150 guests) for a family or office iftar, scaling up to Celebration and Grand Occasion for larger community iftars, with the same live counters and halal menu as the rest of the year.
Suhoor, for the other end of the fast
Because the à la carte kitchen already runs late into the night the rest of the year, suhoor service is a natural extension rather than a special add-on — a full pre-dawn meal rather than a limited late-night snack menu. Confirm the year's specific suhoor window when you get in touch, since it shifts with sunset and dawn times across the month.
Why come here over a hotel iftar
A hotel buffet is priced to cover a banquet room and a once-a-year audience. A restaurant that runs the same live BBQ and biryani kitchen all year is priced for a family that wants to do this most evenings of Ramadan, not just once — and it's halal by default, not by special Ramadan menu.
