Iftar in Colombo 2018.

The month of Ramadan is here. So, if you are looking for places to break fast during this holy month, here is a list of restaurants in Colombo serving up Iftar snacks, meals and buffets.

Mövenpick Colombo

Movenpick's dedicated Iftar buffet offers one of the best spreads in the city. We actually tried it and made the classic mistake of filling up on just the starters. While the starters are great, you really need to save space for their mains. Offering everything from slow cooked lamb rice, some of the best kanji we've had in a while, an excellent selection of meats and even a very comeprehensive Lankan spread. The buffet is priced at Rs. 2990, starts at 6.15 pm and will be available until the 14th of June.

Arabian Knights

Arabian Knights’s iftar set menu is excellent, valued at Rs. 1350. It includes kanji, hummus, chicken tikka, beef kofta, mini chicken burger, saj bread, shawarma, Damascus chicken, fish patties, sheesh tawouk, and even their popular beef samosa, along with a drink of Faluda and a caramel pudding as the dessert. 

Agra

You’ve got the option to choose between two set menus, each priced at Rs.600 and Rs. 1800 respectively. Category 1 comes with dates, kanji, samosa, Chinese roll, and fruit juice, while the Category 2 has dates, kanji, biriyani, samosa, fresh fruits, and lassi.

For more information or reservations, call 0114723333 or 0777256303.
