As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, communities around the world come together to break their fast and share in the blessings of Iftar. This sacred time is more than just a meal—it’s a cherished tradition of unity, gratitude, and reflection. Whether you are observing Ramadan or simply want to experience its rich cultural and communal significance, we invite you to join us for a special Iftar and Workshop event on March 3rd at Manakeesh Café!

What is Ramadan and Iftar?

Ramadan is a sacred month observed by Muslims worldwide through fasting from dawn until sunset. In Türkiye, fasting during Ramadan is a deeply rooted cultural practice. Even those who do not fast often join in the spirit of the month, participating in Iftar gatherings, enjoying the festive atmosphere, and coming together with family and friends. It is a time of increased socialization, where communities strengthen their bonds through shared meals and meaningful conversations.

Iftar is the evening meal that marks the end of the daily fast during Ramadan. It is a moment filled with joy, delicious food, and the warmth of gathering with family, friends, and the community. Traditionally, the fast is broken with dates and water, followed by a variety of flavorful dishes that reflect the diversity of Ramadan celebrations across cultures.

A Special Evening of Culture and Creativity

Our Iftar and Workshop event on March 3rd is designed to provide an immersive experience where guests can enjoy a delightful Iftar meal while also engaging in a unique hands-on cultural workshop.
