Break your fast or simply enjoy the Ramzan specials around Mumbai. Head to Mohammed Ali Road, Bohri Mohalla or even Yari Road, Kurla or Jogeshwari to dig into items you won’t otherwise easily find. Here’s where you should go for an iftar fix in Mumbai.
10 Places To Get Your Iftar Fix in Mumbai
Firoz Farsan
Tucked in Bohri Mohalla, Firoz Farsan is a small farsan shop dishing out its family recipe of Patrel Biryani. You may be familiar with patra or aluwadi, the shop adds the patra into buff meat and serves this no-rice biryani. You can grab a small portion or pack it by the kilo to take home too.
Price: INR 50 onwards
Haji Tikka Corner
Another spot in Bohri Mohalla, Haji Tikka Corner is busy serving baida roti, kebabs, chicken rolls and more. The shop is one of the most popular ones in the neighbourhood, and offers quite a large variety of items. Dig into their Boti Kebab, Chicken Achari Kebab and Baida Roti
Price: INT 70 onwards
Jilani Fast Food Corner
Walk down from JJ Junction and you’ll spot Jilani, a shop that’s almost always busy during iftar. If there’s one place to grab Naan Chaap (also known as chicken naan sandwich), then this is where you must try one. Jilani’s Kasturi Chicken Sandwich is the most popular naan chaap here and is generously flavoured with kasuri methi. Another must-try here is their Mutton Roll and Baida Roti.
Price: INR 100 onwards
Seekh Paratha Inn
Yari Road is another neighbourhood that’s buzzing during the month of Ramzan. Hop around the food stalls here, but make sure you stop at Seekh Paratha Inn. The obvious favourite here is the seekh kebab served with a fried paratha and some onion and chutney. We recommend the Mutton Seekh Kebab here, although the Chicken Seekh is quite juicy too.
Price: INR 160 onwards
Janata Tawa & Grill
Make a trip to Kurla and enjoy your iftar around this neighbourhood. We recommend making a stop at Janata Tawa & Grill for their Chicken or Mutton Rolls, Chicken Tikka Burra and Mutton Lajawab, both of which you can enjoy with hot rotis.
Price: INR 250 onwards
Yari Zaikaa
Another spot on Yari Road, located next to the Versova D-Mart, Yari Zaikaa is a small restaurant that otherwise serves up great meals but also offers a few special items during the month of Ramzan. Head here for the Buff Pav, which has tawa-fried buff stuffed in pav. You can also order their kebabs and gravies for a complete meaty experience.
Price: INR 50 onwards
Sarvi
An old Mumbai classic joint located right across Nagpada Police Station, Saarvi is famed to dish out Mumbai’s softest Buff Seekh Kebabs. If you’re looking for quality seekh, this spot is probably the best place to visit. But apart from that you can also try the Masoor Pulav and Aab Gosht here.
Price: INR 35 onwards
JJ Jalebi
Head to any part of the city of Ramzan, and you’ll find a JJ Jalebi stall there. While the original is at JJ Junction, you can also check out its franchise stalls in Kurla, on Yari Road and in Jogeshwari too. Get the mawa jalebi here, a richer jalebi if we may say so, this jalebi is a mix between jalebi and gulab jamun and absolutely worth the calories you’ll gain.
Price: INR 280 per kg
Taj Icecream
Mumbai’s only sancha icecream, this shop has been serving creamy scoops since 1887. Located in Bohri Mohalla, Taj icecream has got a facelift in recent times and is now an air-conditioned ice cream parlour. Get their oldest flavour, Mix Fruit or sta seasonal with a scoop of Alphonso Mango.

Shabir’s Tawakkal Sweets
With several stalls around Mohammed Ali Road and Bohri Mohalla, find any one that’s the nearest to you and satiate your sweet tooth. Known for their phirni - regular, kesar and mango - Tawakkal Sweets has one of the best phirnis in the city. However, their Mango Malai, which tastes like mango rabdi, steals the show. You can also pack some malpuas to take home.
