This venue seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern luxury, offering guests an unforgettable dining experience during the holy month of Ramadan.
Ambiance and setting
Upon arrival, guests are greeted by the majestic architecture of Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, inspired by the grandeur of the Ottoman era.
Al Sultan Majlis is thoughtfully designed to reflect the rich cultural heritage of the region, featuring intricate décor, plush seating, and ambient lighting that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
As soon as you step in, a grand illuminated sign reading “Ramadan Kareem” stands at the forefront, adding a warm festive touch. The vast outdoor area is adorned with string lights, creating a canopy of glowing lights against the twilight sky.
In the background, elegantly arranged dining tables with white chairs are set for guests, and decorative archways with lights add to the ambiance. Palm trees frame the scene, enhancing the traditional Middle Eastern aesthetic. There are also covered seating arrangements for guests who would like a bit of privacy.
Culinary delights
The iftar buffet at Al Sultan Majlis is a lavish spread that caters to a wide array of palates. Traditional Middle Eastern dishes take centre stage, with an emphasis on authentic flavours and high-quality ingredients.
