The month of Ramadan is here. It's the holy month of fasting for every Muslim around the globe, which starts and ends with the appearance of the new moon. And this year, it falls from the 23rd of April to the 23rd of May.
With the ongoing COVID-19 curfews in Colombo, it's not possible to go out and indulge in an Iftar meal with your family, and thus we're bringing this list of restaurants that deliver Iftar packs to your doorstep amid curfew.
*We'll be updating this list as the month goes on. If you're a restaurant delivering Iftar meals and interested in getting featured on YAMU, drop an email to ads@yamu.lk or call at 0753761761 (Dinesh).
