Gulf Weekly Perfect way to celebrate

IT is evident from the fasts, the prayers, the reverence and the greetings that Ramadan has set in.

 

Apart from that, what you also see is a warm and celebratory mood that is manifest after sundown, and this, is the beauty of Ramadan.

 

It is not just the holiest month for the Muslims; it is also one of the happiest. It is that time of the year to spend time and celebrate with loved ones.

During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn until dusk and the fast is broken at sunset with the most important meal known as the Iftar.

 

Apart from its religious significance, Iftar is the perfect way to celebrate the deep bonds of friendship and love amongst kith and kin.

Traditionally, families used to break their fast at home in the midst of their loved ones and friends, with a special dinner.

 

But now, for most people it has become a delightful occasion to break their fast, as well as savour the different delicacies offered by hotels and restaurants.

It is a delightful occasion for the families to come together and enjoy a sumptuous Iftar buffet in the perfect surrounding.

 

With the onset of Ramadan in Bahrain, restaurants offer Iftar delicacies – endless variety of appetisers, main courses and deserts. And, these specialties are more appealing only when combined with the apt surroundings.

The décor, the lightings, the fragrance, the people, all play an important part in making a ideal Ramadan evening.

 

Through the month of Ramadan, Silk’s Restaurant at Mövenpick Hotel has a lovely mix of creativity and tradition.

Apart from the array of delicious dishes for Iftar Buffet, it is the ambience and décor the restaurant that draws the people to it.

 

This year too, Silk’s is beaming with its new look for Ramadan. As you walk in, what catches your eye is the décor of the restaurant.

 

Clayware and lights dominate the special Ramadan settings. The entrance is lit up with coloured lanterns, which is a traditional way to welcome Ramadan.

 

The entire restaurant has lights placed in beautifully designed clayware of different sizes and shapes that give the restaurant a special and warm atmosphere. Every table is beautifully decorated with gold and burgundy table linen, which is set off by the candles lights.

 

The Iftar Buffet at Silk’s has never tasted and looked better! The buffet has flavours and tastes from different regions, right from the Middle East, Arabia and the Mediterranean.

What makes the Iftar Buffet more delectable is the interesting display of the food; for instance, the dry fruits are displayed on different sized and shaped clay dishes.

And the ever friendly restaurant staff dressed in special and traditional outfits complete the spirit of Ramadan.

The novelty of the decorations and atmosphere that you find at Silk’s is an ideal way to have your most important meal of Ramadan, in the midst of friends and loved ones.
