Special Ramadan Iftar Menu

Our Special Ramadan Iftar Menu includes:

Dates and Soups

Break your iftar the Sunnah way with dates, then choose from our selection of Chicken Soup or Lentil Soup.

The Chicken Soup consists of chicken broth with carrots, leeks, celery, and potatoes. Brown vermicelli and mixed herbs enhance the soup’s flavour. This is a simple yet delicious option to recover after a full day of hunger.

Our Lentil Soup has a creamy texture, with cumin adding its familiar earthy warmth. Turmeric adds a subtle bitterness, while olive oil finishes it with a fruity richness. This soup has an impressive depth of flavour, perfect for vegans.

Appetisers (to Share)

Here are the appetisers in Grilandia’s Ramadan menu.

Hummus

Let's start with Hummus. This silky puree contains chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil. The chickpeas are cooked until they become smooth rather than grainy. It also has a nutty bitterness that complements the lemon juice. The olive oil further enhances the flavour.

Fattoush

Fattoush adds a nice crunch and a bit of a zing to the meal. The lettuce and cucumber provide a cool, crisp foundation while rocket leaves add a peppery bite. Tomatoes and red and green peppers add sweetness and a satisfying crunch. The real genius lies in the zaatar croutons, toasted pita pieces seasoned with wild oregano.

Kibbe

Kibbe includes fried meatballs with a shell made from lamb, bulgur wheat, and herbs pounded together into a paste. That outer layer needs to be thin enough to shatter when you bite into it, but sturdy enough to hold together the filling inside. That filling is spiced lamb mince with juicy, aromatic onions.

Cheese Sambossek

The Cheese Sambossek is a delicious counterpoint to the meat-heavy kibbe. They’re crescent-shaped pastries with a special cheese blend that contains halloumi, feta, mozzarella, and zaatar.

Main Courses

The main course section offers plenty to break fast with a group, satisfying everyone. You can choose from:

Mixed Grill

The Mixed Grill is for people who want it all in their iftar meals. You get grilled Lamb Kafta and Lamb Tekka, which are grilled until they develop a char but stay tender inside. Then there’s Shish Touk, a marinated chicken dish served over oriental rice. It is perfect for those who need the best Lebanese food in London for iftar.

Shish Touk

If you're ordering just one skewer, consider Shish Touk. These are marinated cubes of chicken fillet soaked in yoghurt, garlic, lemon, and spices. The meat is tender and flavorful all through, not just on the surface. Proper grilling gives the chicken charred edges, while the interior stays moist and pulls apart easily.

Chicken Kabsa with Pilaf Rice

Chicken Kabsa is tender, cooked chicken. The pilaf rice is flavoured with a spice blend, with fried almonds or pine nuts, adding pops of sweetness. The rice absorbs all the chicken cooking liquid and soaks up the spices, making it intensely flavourful.

Lamb Kabsa with Fragrant Spiced Rice

The lamb version of Kabsa has a stronger flavour with more aggressive seasoning. This is the option for people who prefer lamb over chicken in their iftar main. The rice beneath is cooked dark with spice, and each bite fills your mouth with bold flavour.

Dish of the Day

The dish of the day adds an element of surprise to the menu. This dish could be anything traditional, like a slow-cooked Lamb Tekka or a vegetarian main. The dish of the day rewards regular visitors and keeps iftar interesting.
