Following the success of the offering last year, Hyatt Hotels South Africa will offer its Ramadan Iftar Buffet menu once again across its three properties in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
The holy month of Ramadan starts this week and in-house and walk-in guests will be able to enjoy the buffet for the duration of the month.
Last year around 1 600 guests booked for the Iftar buffet at the Hyatt Regency Cape Town, Hyatt House Johannesburg Sandton and Hyatt House Johannesburg Rosebank.
“Based on the interest and success of the Iftar buffet last year, we have decided to continue with the offering, giving guests a variety of options in a carefully curated menu during the month of Ramadan,” commented Hyatt Hotels South Africa’s Country Head, Asif Raza.
“The Iftar buffet is extremely popular in Hyatt properties in the Middle East and other parts of the world, and this is something we would like the South African market to enjoy and participate in as well.
“This year we also encourage corporates and businesses to do group bookings for their staff with the Hyatt sales team on hand to assist with any corporate or group bookings as a new addition to the pricing structure for the buffet offering,” added Raza.
Hyatt Hotels SA Speciality Chef, Asif Mughal, along with Chef Ofentse Morake and Chef Byron du Bois, spent many weeks conceptualising the menu and presented this to media, content creators, influencers and guests this week.
“We decided to go with a Middle Eastern, Sub Continental and Mediterranean feel on our menu, having taken into consideration all the feedback we received last year,” said Mughal.
“There is something for everyone on the menu, from the starters to the mains with some traditional dishes accompanying authentic street food and nibbles.
“The beverage offering also sees traditional yet refreshing options on the menu,” concluded Mughal.
The Iftar buffet menu will be available to inhouse guests and local patrons at Hyatt’s halaal-certified restaurants.
“We’ve spent resources and time in ensuring that we deliver food and beverage offerings of the highest standard and quality and I am really proud of what the team has developed, and invite everyone to celebrate their Ramadan with us,” concluded Raza.
