Iftaar Party - A shared thaal at sunsetĀ
Embedded Files
Like Ramazan, Iftaar meals are special, not just because of the food, but because of the sense of togetherness they create. The thaal fills with familiar aromas, shared conversations, and a quiet feeling of belonging that stays long after the meal ends.Ā
For us, Alefiya and Husain, Ramazan has always held a special place. Each evening, after sunset and namaz, we would gather around the thaal with friends to break our fast together. Those moments were never rushed. There was laughter that spilled across the thaal, stories that carried on between bites and the comfort of knowing that everyone belonged exactly where they were. These are some of our fondest memories of Ramazan.
This is what we invite you to experience with us.
This is what we invite you to experience with us.
A wholesome, nourishing and deeply satisfying iftaar meal - cooked with care and meant to be shared. We arrive as individuals and we leave as a group that has eaten together, talked together and quietly formed new connections.
The thaal welcomes everyone - whether you come solo or with friends. By the end of the meal, new friendships often find their way to the thaal.

We meet at our home in Thane at 8:00 PM.
The evening begins the way iftaar always has - with a classic welcome drink, a familiar Ramazan staple that signals itās time to pause, sit, and be present.
Before we move to the thaal, we ease into the evening with a simple, light-hearted game. Nothing competitive - just something to spark conversation, break the ice and help everyone settle in. Itās our way of warming up the room before warming up the appetite.
As we prepare to serve the thaal, we continue to share small cultural stories and traditions around iftaar and Ramazan - the meaning behind the sequence of food, the rhythm of the meal and why it has always been meant to be shared.
The thaal is then served, and the meal unfolds slowly.
Together, we enjoy 10 thoughtfully planned courses, beginning with Mithaas (a dessert) and followed by Kharaas (a savoury appetizer) - alternating through the meal, just as it is traditionally done.
Each dish is curated to balance flavour, texture and portion, allowing the meal to feel indulgent yet light, familiar yet surprising. The menu features Ramazan favourites prepared the Bohri home way, including the much-loved Bohri Mohalla OG Chana Bateta salad, reimagined with our own homemade touch.
There is no rush at the table. The focus is on sharing, conversation, and enjoying the meal together - one course at a time, one story at a time.

Each dish has been chosen with care, keeping Ramazan in mind ā food that comforts, nourishes, and brings people together. What follows is meant to be enjoyed slowly, one course at a time, as it has always been at our table.Ā
