From seed to plate, the farm brings a new dimension to Ramadan dining, delivering ingredients that are vibrant, flavorful, and lighter on the planet.

As the sun sets, guests gather outdoors on the Skafos terrace to break their fast with an Iftar buffet. Tables are welcomed with traditional dates, roasted nuts, and refreshing juices such as jallab and laban, followed by a generous spread of cold and hot mezze, vibrant salads, and garden greens enhanced with herbs harvested just steps away.

Live cooking stations bring the evening to life, featuring traditional Lamb ouzi and shawarma alongside BBQ grills, manakish, pasta, and carving stations. A wide selection of Arabic and international dishes is prepared using smart cooking methods and zero-waste principles, while plant-based options and modern interpretations of classic favorites ensure something for every palate.

As night falls, Skafos transitions seamlessly into a relaxed Suhoor by the Creek, offering a refined set-menu experience designed for sharing and reflection. Freshly squeezed juices, bakery baskets, hot and cold mezze, comforting mains, and desserts such as homemade cheese kunafa and gooey chocolate cake are served.

To further enhance the evening, guests can unwind with a selection of premium shisha, enjoying the rich aromas and soothing flavors in the serene creekside ambiance, making their Ramadan gathering even more memorable. After your meal, take a leisurely stroll along the Al Seef promenade, soaking in charming views and vibrant atmosphere. On weekends, fireworks illuminate the creek, adding a magical finishing touch to the night

This Ramadan, Terrace by the Creek at Skafos, Canopy by Hilton Dubai Al Seef, redefines what it means to gather at the table, honoring tradition while embracing a more sustainable way to dine.
