This Ramadan, Birmingham's culinary scene comes together as a host of restaurants support the Muslim community.
They're not just extending their hours; they're also introducing special menus tailored for Suhoor and Iftar, the meals that mark the beginning and end of the daily fast.
As the sun sets, the act of breaking the fast becomes a shared gesture of unity and gratitude, reflected in the diverse flavours and scents that fill these restaurants .
Amidst the festive atmosphere, many Muslims will cook traditional food at home, while others might choose the convenience of delivery or the experience of dining out at local spots offering Halal options. Halal food adheres to Islamic dietary laws, ensuring a broad selection that includes fruits, vegetables, poultry, beef, lamb, seafood, and beyond.
