Eating out in Ramadan is always a risk, especially with Iftar. The restaurants are crowded, food doesn’t come at the right time, there’s no room for special customisation, and it can get much more expensive for absolutely no reason. That’s why a lot of people prefer eating at home, but truth be told, there is a lot of fun in eating out with friends or family, this is why we’re telling you today about the top restaurants to eat at in Ramadan from our personal experiences.
Located in City Star mall in 6th of October, Zack’s takes a large portion of the mall’s outdoor area to accommodate its many customers. For very affordable prices, you can choose from a host of chicken sandwiches, pastas with fried chicken, or their chicken pizza topped with a whole lot of cheese.
Nile Ritz-Carlton’s oriental restaurant boasts a set of unique dishes on its menu. You’ll have a truly upscale experience at this restaurant through its service, decoration, food presentation, and of course, taste.
