Iftar Review: A grand feast under the stars

After a vibrant Dubai World Cup, here’s another reason for you to return to the Meydan Hotel: an exquisite Iftar experience under the stars featuring authentic Middle Eastern, Asian, and European dishes.

OUMSIAT, set amidst the Courtyard surroundings of the Meydan Hotel, is inviting guests to dine in a starry evening atmosphere, thanks to the twinkling canopy lights.

We tried the enormous Iftar buffet featuring over 30 salads, 6 live cooking stations, 18 buffet stations showcasing the best of Middle Eastern and international gastronomic highlights, as well as 24 mouthwatering desserts, and Ramadan juices . Suffice to say, we left impressed.

On our visit, the weather was quite unusual for late March; it was chilly as it was breezy and one would require a jacket if their outfit was worn keeping in mind the summer of Dubai. However, if you visit now, that should not be the case as temperatures have only soared in April.

Moving on from our forecast, and putting the focus where it belongs, the Iftar at OUMSIAT is a grand affair, visible from its setting and display of the seating arrangement and lights. It also features an indoor seating arrangement, but you wouldn’t want to miss the outdoor lights and vibe, which is also complimented by traditional Arabic music.

Dh199 per person inclusive of Iftar buffet and local bottled water, Ramadan Juices, Soft Beverages
