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 Islamic holy month of Ramadan started on 24 March 2023 in South Africa, and in house and walk in guests will be able to enjoy a sumptuous and delicious buffet for the entire 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 carefully curated menu during the month of Ramadan,” commented Hyatt Hotels South Africa’s country head, Asif Raza.
As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Hyatt South Africa are getting into the spirit of this auspicious month, launching an Iftaar and Suhoor offering for the duration of the fasting period.
I attended the launch last night at Hyatt House in Melrose, Johannesburg and you can view my TikTok video about this event here or below.
The buffet offering will be available to inhouse guests and local patrons at all properties in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Last year, the Hyatt Regency Cape Town, ran with an Iftaar buffet that proved to be a huge success.
“We were encouraged and pleased by the response we had last year and felt that it was necessary to continue with this offering again and build on it,” explained Asif Raza, Cluster General Manager for Hyatt South Africa.
“With two more properties added to the portfolio, we are now pleased to offer guests Suhoor and Iftaar at all three properties and look forward to sharing their Ramadan experience with them.”
Raza promises guests a tantalizing buffet menu.
“Our food and beverage team led by recently appointed specialty chef, Asif Mughal, have curated a delicious yet versatile menu that will include Arabic, Indian, Pakistani and South African dishes in the form of salads, hot and cold starters, main meals, desserts and traditional Ramadan beverages,” said Raza.
