Ramadan Iftar Snacks and Sweets: Homemade Ideas for the UK
During Ramadan, the table at iftar and the snacks around suhoor matter. If you want homemade sweets and savoury snacks to share, this guide shows what works and how to order for the month and for Eid at the end.
Snacks and sweets for iftar
A simple Gujarati snack tray is easy to put together:
- Chevdo, a crunchy mix with roasted almonds and peanuts, goes well with tea.
- Nankhatai and Karachi biscuits pair with chai after the fast.
- Magaj or Methi Pak gives a small, rich sweet with nuts and ghee.
Keep portions small. Sweets in this style are rich, so a square or a biscuit with tea is plenty.
Sharing with family and neighbours
Sharing food at iftar is part of the month. A box of homemade sweets is a thoughtful thing to bring to an invitation or give to a neighbour. You can order for yourself and for gifts together and choose the delivery date for each order.
Planning for Eid
Many families order their Eid sweets before the final days of Ramadan. Because everything is made fresh to order, please allow about 10 days and order earlier in the last ten days. See our Eid guide for the biscuits and sweets that suit Eid.
Order every month
If you buy the same sweets each month, switch on “Repeat monthly” on a product to save 5%. You choose the date and can cancel any time, up to 10 days before delivery.
Common questions
When does Ramadan start?
Ramadan moves about eleven days earlier each year and depends on the moon, so check the dates for the year before you order.
How long do they stay fresh?
In an airtight container, our sweets and biscuits are best eaten within 4 weeks.
