Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 17TH February 2026
Bombay Borough, the modern Indian eatery located in Dubai International Financial Centre, presents its Royal Iftar Feast throughout Ramadan 2026, offering a carefully curated alternative to conventional iftar dining in the city. Available daily during iftar hours, the sharing-style set menu draws inspiration from Indian comfort food and the royal culinary traditions of Lucknow, Hyderabad, Bhopal and Arcot, bringing guests together over generous plates, bold flavours and a warm, contemporary setting. Designed for both intimate gatherings and corporate bookings, the Ramadan iftar experience is available throughout the Holy Month at Bombay Borough, priced at AED 199 per person, with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options available.
Rooted in the spirit of Ramadan, the iftar menu reflects Bombay Borough’s modern interpretation of Indian cuisine, drawing inspiration from the streets and homes of India alongside the culinary traditions of its princely kitchens, known for slow-cooked preparations, fragrant biryanis and ceremonial sweets. Developed to honour time-honoured techniques while embracing a contemporary sensibility, the experience unfolds with dishes inspired by traditional iftar rituals, Indian snack culture and comforting home-style recipes, followed by heartier mains that showcase the depth and diversity of regional Indian cooking through nuanced spicing and thoughtful presentation. Concluding with restrained interpretations of nostalgic Indian desserts, the sharing-style format echoes the sense of togetherness central to the Holy Month, with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options ensuring the iftar is suited to intimate gatherings, family celebrations and corporate bookings alike.
The Royal Iftar Feast begins with an amuse and a traditional dates platter, followed by the Iftar Chip & Dip, a vibrant composition of lentil crisps, fermented chilli chutney, roasted peanuts and puffed rice papri. The Iftar plates reflect the kitchen’s focus on layered flavours and precise execution. Highlights include Moong Dal & Asparagus Fritters served with mint chutney and a delicate cheese dust, alongside the Confit Chicken Bun Tikki, featuring griddle-cooked smoky kebabs finished with masala aioli. Seafood offerings include the Aam Kasundi Grilled Seabass, paired with spiced mango mustard and coconut pepper chutney, while the Chicken Shaami Kebabs draw from Lucknowi street traditions, seasoned with mild, fragrant spices. The Arcot Lamb Chops arrive charcoal-grilled, glazed with pepper curry and served with sweet potato mash, offering depth and balance.
A palate-cleansing sorbet precedes the main course, where guests can savour Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani prepared with tandoor-grilled chicken tikka and served with burhani raita, or a Vegetables Dum Biryani featuring winter vegetables and mint raita for vegetarian diners. Accompaniments including bagara baingan, kachumber salad, lacha paratha and additional raita complete the course, delivering a generous and considered interpretation of a Nawabi-style feast.
Desserts pay tribute to ceremonial sweets through a contemporary lens. Halwa Éclairs combine badami halwa with French choux pastry and white chocolate anglaise, while the Falooda blends almond milk, sevai, rose syrup and vanilla ice cream. The Sheer Khurma Soft Serve is finished with crunchy kunafa and rose gel, followed by petit fours such as stuffed white chocolate truffles and dark chocolate rose barfi. Guests may select one beverage from Mint Buttermilk, Mango & Cardamom Lassi, or the Saffron-Pistachio Royale to complete the experience.
