Ramadan evenings in Dubai often feel like a tour of the world on one table. Families gather after sunset, plates fill quickly, and conversations stretch long past the final dessert. This year, one Iftar experience is leaning into that global spirit with a collaboration that brings two culinary cultures together in a single setting.
At Purani Dilli, located within Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road, the new “Iftar from Two Worlds” concept pairs North Indian and Moroccan cuisine in a buffet designed for sharing. The idea feels timely. Dubai diners increasingly seek experiences that blend familiarity with discovery, especially during Ramadan when tradition carries deeper meaning.
Two chefs anchor the collaboration. Head Chef Mohammad Afzal Qureshi represents Purani Dilli’s North Indian roots, while Moroccan Head Chef Abderahim El Kamri brings decades of experience from luxury kitchens across Morocco and beyond. Together, they have crafted a menu that respects heritage while encouraging culinary exchange. Different regions. Shared warmth.
The Iftar opens with dates, Ramadan juices, and comforting soups including Moroccan harira and lentil soup. From there, guests move through hot and cold mezze, kebabs, and starters that showcase the spice palettes of both regions. It is generous without feeling overwhelming.
On the main buffet, Moroccan slow-cooked lamb ouzi, chicken couscous, and fragrant tagines sit comfortably beside butter chicken, mutton korma, dal makhani, and biryanis. Fresh naan and roti arrive warm from the oven. Spices tell their own story.
Dessert continues the conversation between cultures. Kunafa and baklava share space with rasmalai and panna cotta, while umm ali and festive pastries round out the experience. Sweet endings matter.
What makes this Iftar stand out is not only the menu, but the intention behind it. Ramadan in the UAE often becomes a meeting point for diverse communities. This collaboration mirrors that reality, showing how different culinary traditions can coexist naturally on one table. The pricing at AED 139 per person keeps it accessible, making it suitable for family gatherings, friend meetups, and corporate Iftars alike.
Inside Purani Dilli’s warm interiors, the setting feels intimate and inviting. Conversations flow easily. Plates refill often. The atmosphere remains relaxed.
In a city known for grand Ramadan tents and large-scale buffets, this experience offers something slightly different. A quieter cultural exchange. A shared table built on flavour.
“Iftar from Two Worlds” is available throughout Ramadan at Purani Dilli, Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road. For reservations, guests can contact +971 56 414 2213 and plan an evening where Indian and Moroccan traditions meet!
