In-Person Iftar: Where Montreal’s Muslim Community Goes to Break Fast During Ramadan | Eater Montreal
"This newly-opened Concordia-adjacent restaurant features Nahid Aziz’s family recipes in a gracious setting with furniture and furnishings brought from India and Pakistan. “We want to provide a nice experience for those breaking the fast,” says Aziz, and the Iftari menu reflects that generosity, with recipes from both countries. Diners can expect dates and Rooh Afza, an herbal, fruit, and citrus drink often enjoyed when breaking the fast on arrival before snacks like onion bhaji, dahi balla, pakoras, fruit chaat, and main dishes of haleem and biryani. Finally, ChaïShaï’s signature cheesecakes, adorned with jalebi or gulab jamun, along with rasmallai and kheer sweetly finish off the meal." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
