A Sophisticated Debut This Ramadan: Indilight Introduces a New Expression of Iftar at Fairmont The Palm

There is a particular feeling to Iftar – a moment shaped as much by reflection as by gathering. This Ramadan, it becomes the setting for the UAE debut of Indilight, a halal-certified turkey meat brand introduced through a collaboration with Fairmont The Palm.

Naturally lean and refined in flavour, turkey lends itself to a contemporary interpretation of Ramadan dining. Indilight’s approach centres on purity and balance – an ingredient chosen not only for its nutritional integrity, but for its ability to carry flavour. Its premiere reflects a broader shift in the region’s culinary landscape, where attention turns toward provenance, intention, and a more thoughtful relationship with food.

Throughout the holy month, the partnership takes form at Seagrill, where Chef Darren Andow composes eight dishes that explore turkey within the framework of familiar Ramadan flavours. There is harees, slow and comforting; kabsa, fragrant and layered; and delicately spiced preparations that balance depth with lightness. Each plate reflects a sensitivity to both tradition and the evolving rhythms of modern dining.

First presented during an intimate Chef’s Table gathering on February 24, the experience introduces the brand through texture, aroma, and shared ritual. Set against the shoreline of Palm Jumeirah, with the evening unfolding at its own unhurried pace, the collaboration signals Indilight’s arrival in the region – not as a statement, but as a presence that settles naturally into the landscape of modern Ramadan dining.
