Ramadan Food Trail Returns to London's West End with Halal Iftar Deals
Ramadan Delights, London's celebrated Iftar experience dedicated to supporting local businesses surrounding the Ramadan Lights display, is set to make a triumphant return to the capital's West End. This vibrant culinary initiative will run from February 16 to March 20, 2026, bringing a month-long food trail to the heart of London during the holy month of Ramadan.
Exclusive Sunset Dining Experiences
As part of the broader Ramadan Lights programme, participating restaurants around Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, and Haymarket will offer exclusive sunset set menus, special discounts, and halal-friendly options for those breaking their fast during Ramadan. The food trail is curated by The Aziz Foundation in partnership with Heart of London Business Alliance, ensuring a diverse range of halal and vegetarian-friendly food options for visitors.
Iftar, the time when Muslims break their fast after fasting from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan, will be celebrated with exceptional culinary offerings across multiple venues. From sunset onwards, visitors can enjoy specially curated Iftar set menus featuring everything from traditional Middle-Eastern cuisine to contemporary favorites like steak, pizza, chicken bites, and burgers.

In a significant development for 2026, Ramadan Lights London has officially appointed its first charity partner: Centrepoint, the UK's leading youth homelessness charity. Founded in Soho in 1969 by Reverend Kenneth Leech, who opened the doors of St Anne's Church to homeless young people near Coventry Street, Centrepoint has been helping thousands of young people annually for over five decades through education and employment support.
The Aziz Foundation and Centrepoint are collaborating on long-term impact initiatives, including mentoring programmes, employability routes, and expanded access to professional networks. Their shared goal is to create sustainable pathways to independence and opportunities for young people facing homelessness.
Community Building and Cultural Celebration
Rahima Aziz, BEM, Trustee of the Aziz Foundation, emphasized the programme's evolution: "This year's programme marks an important evolution - from launching central London's first interfaith art exhibition to establishing our inaugural charity partnership with Centrepoint. Each initiative has been designed to bring people together in meaningful ways and to strengthen human understanding across communities."
She continued: "Our 2026 campaign message, 'Share The Light,' reflects a universal call to generosity and hope. It invites people of all faiths and backgrounds to participate in a celebration that belongs to the whole city. We are grateful to the local groups, cultural partners, and businesses who have worked with us to ensure that Ramadan Lights London continues to reflect the heart and spirit of this incredible city."
The Ramadan Delights food trail represents more than just culinary offerings - it's a celebration of community, cultural exchange, and charitable giving that brings together Londoners and visitors during the holy month of Ramadan.
