The Islamic holy month of fasting, Ramadan has begun. People of the Muslim community observe strict fasts for the day and in the evening enjoy with a delicious serving of traditional food recipes. Called the Iftaar, it is a meal eaten post-sunset, when people break their fasts. These meals are a scrumptious mix of non-veg delicacies, from spicy kebabs, shawarmas, soups to a sweet malpua. There are some areas in the city which have stalls and hotels offering the Ramadan specialities.

While the Muslim community people do go and have their meals, there are many others who enjoy on gorging on this deliciousness. If you are a foodie, then you must visit some of the bylanes in the city which have been popular for their Ramadan food for quite some years now. Let us look at some of the places in Mumbai which you must visit if you are a true non-veg lover and absolutely relish the Ramzan special menu.
