BREAKING THE FAST IN İSTANBUL Iftar—the breaking of the fast—is truly something else in İstanbul. Iftar in İstanbul is sharing. It is joy; it is one of the loveliest ways to give thanks. Great tables are set up and a vast array of delicious foods is eaten with merry conversation. Home to various cultures for millennia, İstanbul offers almost unlimited options for iftar. One of the most popular cuisines during Ramadan is Ottoman cuisine. Based on hundreds of years of culture, this cuisine is noted especially for its olive oil-based dishes served cold, meat dishes, and desserts. Hünkar beğendi—“Sultan’s delight,” lamb stew served on a bed of eggplant puree, tandoori-cooked meat, dolmas and baklava are the first options to come to mind. Kebabs, too, are delicious—a feast ranging from döner to shish kebab and lamb to chicken awaits you. İstanbul is a hub of world cuisines, too. In addition to the balanced, light delicacies of the French and Italian cuisines, exotic options from East Asian cuisine and the fantastic flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine await you with hundreds of options. İstanbul’s flavor parade continues from iftar until the start of the next fast. Enlivened with shows, festivals, and celebrations, İstanbul’s streets give you the option to continue your feast with such delicacies as streetside snacks to regional favorites from all over Turkey. İstanbul becomes a true capital of flavor during Ramadan. You’ll hardly be able to get enough of İstanbul during iftar!
