The whole atmosphere of the tent brings in a feel of the middle eastern traditional life and culture. The scrumptious buffet not only promises but actually delivers the best when it comes to the variety and number of dishes which cater to every tastebud. The Layali Ramadan Tent comes alive for iftar and suhoor as it presents over 100 different dishes to visitors both inhouse and those coming in just to dine.

From sunset to 9pm will be the special iftar followed by the suhoor celebrations after 10pm. Iftar will be a buffet whereas suhoor will be an à la carte.
