The Perfect Eid al-Fitr BBQ: Tips and Tricks for a perfect celebration

Eid al-Fitr is a time of joy and celebration for Muslims around the world. It marks the end of Ramadan, a month-long period of fasting and spiritual reflection. As a BBQ brand, we believe that nothing brings people together quite like a delicious meal, and what better way to celebrate Eid al-Fitr than with a festive BBQ?

At our brand, we believe that a BBQ is more than just food; it's an experience. It's about gathering around the barbecue with loved ones, sharing stories and laughter while savouring the delicious aroma of perfectly grilled meats.

"Planning a BBQ in the south coast with all the family", Shahid replied when we inquired about his plans for Ramadan. If you're also considering organizing an event like Shahid, we have a few suggestions that could help make your Eid celebration unforgettable.

For Eid al-Fitr, we suggest taking a traditional BBQ menu and giving it a festive twist. Start with some classic dishes like grilled chicken and beef kebabs, and then add in some Middle Eastern flavours like za'atar seasoning and pomegranate molasses. Serve them alongside some fresh salads, hummus, and pitta bread, and you have a delicious Eid al-Fitr feast.

3. Set the Scene: Decorate your outdoor space with festive Eid decorations like colorful lanterns, balloons, and streamers. You can also set up a separate area for kids with games and activities to keep them entertained.

4. Drinks: A refreshing drink is a must-have at any BBQ. Consider serving some homemade lemonade or iced tea, or try a traditional Eid drink like Rooh Afza. 

5. Desserts: No celebration is complete without something sweet. Serve some classic Eid desserts like sheer khurma, baklava, or ras malai.
