The late nights with overcrowded tables and numerous festivals await another year for those who normally end their fasting days during Ramadan with iftar in a mosque, gather at home with friends and family, or in one of Seattle’s many halal restaurants. For the second year running, Iftar takes place mainly at home, with fewer people and unfortunately fewer ceremonies.
The smaller or simpler gatherings should not mean that the meals should be less varied or special, but that is not always easy when combined with daily (pandemic) life.
This week marks the halftime of Ramadan and it is the best time to get a little help from the Bullpen. Whether you’re constantly falling back on the routine or just struggling with ideas on how to get food to the table, these five Seattle area caterers, restaurants, and Instagram popups have you covered with their Iftar boxes.
While non-fasting may be disappointed that Pakistani restaurant Kirkland put its Lahori Nashta breakfast plates on hold during Ramadan, those in search of a big, simple iftar meal to order the same day will be , spoiled.

As one of the vendors in Tukwila’s Spice Bridge Food Hall, this company is a collaboration between Mwana Moyo from Tanzania and Batulo Nuh, a Somali who grew up in Kenya. Together they cook dishes that cross the borders between their East African home countries and contain the aromatic spices of Zanzibar that they import. During Ramadan, they offer prepackaged meals for $ 35 that include an appetizer, appetizer, and dessert from the menu for two. The menu changes every week – – They’re only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays – but offer appetizers like Sambusa, Bhajia, and Mahamri, a choice of vegetarian, fish or goat dishes ($ 3 extra for coconut fish), and a dessert.

This Kurdish-Iraqi Everett bakery made a name for itself with, among other things, pillow-soft samoon bread, fluffy pitta and aromatic za’atar manakish, but also brings a selection of sweets from their ovens every day and makes various or custom-made dessert boxes that sweeten every iftar meal. Choose from rich chocolate dates, baklava with light green pistachios, smooth, sweet Kanafa, or the special date-filled klecha pastry that is an Iraqi Eid tradition.
While there’s no real eatery in the Seattle area that serves Bangladeshi food, this Eastside caterer offers pick-up Ramadan packages every Thursday – orders must be placed by Wednesday noon – which means you have two more chances to get this to obtain.
