IFTAR Turns Up The Heat With The Return of Ramadan Nights From 18 February

  • Written by Times Media


Iftar returns to IFTAR, with the Western Sydney favourite opening after dark for Ramadan 

  • IFTAR introduces Ramadan Nights with a new evening service and dedicated Ramadan menu
  • An after-dark dining experience built for post-sunset feasting and sharing 
  • Positioning IFTAR as both a daytime favourite and a night-time destination in Western Sydney

IFTAR brings back Ramadan Nights with a refreshed evening service and dedicated menu, designed for post-sunset feasting and shared tables. 

Traditionally operating from 7am to 3pm, IFTAR will extend into the evening throughout Ramadan, welcoming families and friends to gather for iftar and dine together. The return of Ramadan Nights further positions IFTAR as both a daytime favourite and a night-time dining destination for Western Sydney. 

Led by founder Jeremy Agha, the Ramadan Nights menu brings a contemporary lens to Middle Eastern classics, created for long-table dining, shared plates and celebratory feasting. 

New highlights introduced for Ramadan Nights include: 

  • Dates, sweet and comforting to break the fast 
  • Lentil soup, warm and nourishing 
  • Kibbeh nayeh, finely prepared and traditional 
  • Lamb shish, grilled and tender 

Alongside the shared spread, new highlights for Ramadan Nights include burning cheese, beef tartare and sambousek cigars. These sit alongside a generous shared spread designed for iftar, created to be enjoyed communally from start to finish.

The return of Ramadan Nights reinforces IFTAR as a destination for iftar at IFTAR, evolving the venue from a daytime café into a night-time dining destination for Western Sydney. 

“Middle Eastern dining has always been about coming together at the table and sharing food. Ramadan Nights allows us to bring that experience into the evening in a way that feels generous, social and welcoming,” says Agha. 

The name IFTAR, meaning the breaking of the fast in Arabic, carries both cultural and personal significance for Jeremy. It reflects memories of breaking fast together at home with his mother, Rita, whose recipes and approach to food have shaped the foundations of the menu and the spirit of the venue. 

“IFTAR can’t be spelt without the letters of her name. There’s no IFTAR without Mum. It’s as much her story as it is mine,” he says. 

Having grown up working alongside his family in their traditional Lebanese bakery in Guildford, Agha carries a deep sense of flavour, hospitality and connection into IFTAR, values that sit at the heart of Ramadan Nights. 

Ramadan Nights launches Tuesday 18 February. Reservations are now open via Seven Rooms. For more information, visit @iftarsydney.
