Bombay Borough, the all-day Indian bar and eatery in DIFC, is set to celebrate the holy month of Ramadan with its exclusive Iftar of India experience. Running from February 28, 2025, to March 28, 2025, from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM, the specially curated menu takes guests on a gastronomic journey through India’s vibrant Ramadan markets, offering a modern interpretation of time-honored flavors.

Embracing the spirit of reflection, generosity, and togetherness, Bombay Borough’s Ramadan offering is designed to blend tradition with innovation. Diners can enjoy a thoughtfully crafted selection of dishes that bring together hyper-local Indian flavors with global influences. Each course has been meticulously designed to capture the essence of Ramadan while reimagining traditional favorites with contemporary techniques.

The experience begins with an array of small plates, inspired by the bustling streets of Jama Masjid in Delhi, where guests can enjoy the Acai Bhalla Chaat, a refreshing take on the traditional dahi bhalla infused with acai berry chutney. Other appetizers include the Kale & Shallots Pakoras, crispy fritters served with chili garlic thokku and date ferment, as well as the Chaap Kheema Samosa, featuring pulled mock meat layered in crisp pastry with a tamarind glaze. For meat lovers, the Jama Masjid Chicken Bhujia, a street-style crispy chicken popcorn with chili garlic thokku, and the Lamb Samosa with kheema masala and mint hollandaise offer bold and savory flavors.

Moving on to the Kebabs, inspired by the culinary traditions of Lucknow and Kolkata’s Zakaria Street, the Corn Kakori brings a vegetarian twist to the classic seekh kebab with crispy corn. The Pasanda Paneer Kebab, marinated in coconut and yogurt, is paired with cashew chili aioli, while the Jackfruit Boti Skewers present a unique cedarwood-smoked preparation. For those craving rich meaty flavors, the Hazratganj Lamb Chops, an Awadhi-style preparation using Australian lamb, and the Akbari Gate Chicken Roast, marinated in burhani spices and finished with brown onion butter, are among the standout offerings. Seafood lovers can indulge in the Seabass Mahi Roast, a Chilean seabass dish roasted in kasundi mustard and served with coconut mayo.

Before the main course, diners are treated to a refreshing Sorbet, including a Date Coke infusion, preparing the palate for the feast ahead.

The main course presents a rich assortment of biryanis from Hyderabad’s Charminar, including the Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, a traditional Nizam-style mutton biryani accompanied by cumin raita. Vegetarian options feature the Nizam’s Pulao, a Le Creuset-cooked rice dish with winter vegetables, fried garlic, and cashews. Another highlight is the Shikampur Chicken Korma, a slow-cooked Hyderabadi delicacy with chicken meatballs in a rich, spiced gravy, while the Deccan Vegetable Salan, prepared with tamarind and chili koora, offers a vibrant vegetarian alternative. Each main course is accompanied by Bagara Baigan, Dalcha, Pickle, and Papad to enhance the meal’s authenticity.

The meal concludes with indulgent desserts, inspired by Mumbai’s renowned Mohammad Ali Road. The Halwa Paratha reinvents the traditional sweet with a paratha cannelloni filled with walnut halwa and cardamom-infused baked milk. The Aflatoon Choux, a fusion of French pastry and Indian flavors, features a delicate choux filled with rose crème. For an extra touch of indulgence, diners can enjoy the Petit Fours, including the Soan Papdi Kunafa Bar, a delicate blend of Middle Eastern and Indian flavors.

A selection of beverages is available to complement the meal, including the refreshing Watermelon & Rose Sharbat, Lychee Cucumber Cooler, and an assortment of lassis, such as Aam ki Lassi, Namkeen Lassi, and Mint Lassi.

With its sophisticated ambiance and dedication to culinary excellence, Bombay Borough offers a Ramadan dining experience that brings people together in a celebration of culture, faith, and indulgence.
