Ramadan Iftar Specials and Buffets 2027

Ramadan begins with the new crescent moon of the ninth Islamic month and moves about 11 days earlier each year. Some Canadian mosques follow the Fiqh Council of North America's calculated calendar and others wait for a local moon sighting, so the first fast can differ by a day between communities.

Iftar is the meal that breaks the daily Ramadan fast at sunset, traditionally started with dates and water. Suhoor is the meal eaten before dawn. Restaurants that serve iftar open their buffets or set menus at sunset, which comes later each evening through the month.

In recent years many GTA iftar buffets have charged roughly $25 to $40 per adult, with higher weekend prices and reduced prices for children. Set iftar menus at full-service restaurants can cost considerably more.

For popular buffets and set menus, yes. Seating starts at sunset, so every table fills at the same time, especially on weekends, and some restaurants cap the number of iftar seats each night.

Eid al-Fitr is the first day of Shawwal, the day after Ramadan ends. Like the start of Ramadan, its date can differ by a day between communities that use calculation and those that use a local moon sighting.

Not yet. As of November 13, 2026, no restaurant in the cities we cover has published a Ramadan 2027 special on its website, app or social channels. Specials are added here with their price, dates and source once a restaurant announces one.

37 regular deals (all you can eat, dinner specials and more) run during Ramadan, for example Osmow's: Daily Specials for $12.99 ($12.99), Casa Grecque: Kids Meals $9.95 With Drink and Ice Cream ($9.95) and Calcutta Cricket Club: $6 Kati Rolls & $6 Draft Sundays ($6). They are everyday or weekly offers rather than Ramadan promotions, so check each one's conditions.
