Mehfil ~e~ Iftar : From Jama Masjid to a Shahi Dastarkhan

It’s the holy month of Ramzaan and Delhi’s streets leading up to Jama Masjid are a riot of lights colors festive gaiety and obviously food!! And this year as in the previous years we are ready to host you….in the brightly lit market alleys of Old Delhi and into the holy courtyard of Jama Masjid….for a cultural experience like no other!

As the evening prayers progress you are awestruck by the scenes unfolding around you and watching the transforming colours and lights of the grand mosque after which we head out to the evening’s food destination the ‘Shahi Mehfil Restaurant’ our hospitality partners at a stone’s throw away from Jama Masjid.

We settle down for the ‘Shahi Iftaari Dastarkhwaan’ feast menu which has been curated from the finest kitchens and ‘khansamas'(chefs/cooks) of some of the oldest families of Old Delhi as well as Iftar foods inspired from other parts of India. Platters of traditional meat & a few vegetarian delicacies to be washed down with suitable Iftaar beverages will then be laid out for us in the traditional ‘sitting-on-ground’ dastarkhwan style where with the feast you are treated with tales from our ‘jhola’ of stories so that you learn more about the traditions associated with Ramzaan!

All of this done with the blend of DBF’s unique fun anecdotal storytelling with photography and food opportunities.
