Iftar at Shangri-La Hotel Qaryat Al Beri

Shangri-La Hotel Qaryat Al Beri Abu Dhabi invited us to celebrate Ramadan at the Grand Iftar hosted at Sofra bld. This luxury hotel presented this Grand Iftar Buffet throughout Ramadan at its popular all-day dining restaurant – Sofra bld. Last week we joined in for the lavish buffet evening where the menu was prepared under the guidance of 2-Michelin-star Executive Chef Mansour Memarian, this Grand Iftar was served from sunset until 8pm.

With authentic Middle Eastern delicacies from across the region, the highlight of the iftar is the large Ouzi station in the heart of the buffet spread. Chef Mansour BenAli hosted us the same evening and was gracious enough to give us a brief tour across the whole spread. Thanks to all our readers and followers for enjoying and taking an interest in all the instastories we posted live from the evening that day.

 

     

 

The food was in abundance.  Harira soup was delicious. Grilling corner was, as usual, serving our favorite seafood. The interesting part was the soup and Ouzi station on both sides of the Buffet hall.  We also enjoyed a range of traditional Ramadan favorite includes a selection of teas, coffees, and juices. In desserts, we enjoyed strawberry swiss rolls and coffee opera other than Umm Ali and Ice-cream. Beef Brisket, Vegetable Gratin, Roasted Chicken and Hot Mezzeh were luscious.

 

     

 

Logemat was my favorite Emirati sweet, and I was lucky to find it there. Ix grill, lamb kabab & kofta were been prepared fresh and hot. Indian specialty was immense too with lamb curry, butter chicken, Daal & eggplant masala. Fish & Lamb Tagine and couscous were my all time favorite on their Moroccan special round station. Seffa medfouna (Vermicelli Rice and Fish) is the dish to gain my attention at this Ramadan spread in Moroccan corner this time . There is a live preparation counter for Arabic sweet Keshta; this is the first time I witness its preparation, and it was so fascinating.

 

     

 

All in all, it was a very well organized and sorted Iftar Buffet which is indeed one of the biggest in town. I would highly recommend the readers to enjoy this spread at Iftar with friends and family.
