Delicious halal options to satisfy every iftar craving

The time of Ramadan is here again, and if you’re fasting or have friends who are doing so, you’ll want to have plenty of halal options to break fast at during this month—or perhaps even to share a meal with loved ones at any time of year.

Iftar is the evening meal that Muslims partake in as they end their daily fast during Ramadan, and there are several restaurants in Singapore that offer special Iftar offerings during this time. Ahead, we round up places from a variety of cuisines to break fast at for all flavour palates.
