Salaam guys!

I’m thinking of hosting an iftar with mediterranean food insha’allah in July for about 16 adults and 6 kids between the ages of 2-8.

So far my menu looks something like this:

Iftar

  1. Spanakopitas
  2. Puff Pastries with Keema
  3. Rainbow Sandwiches
  4. Fruit Chaat

Dinner:

  1. Maklooba
  2. Adana Kabab or Koobideh
  3. Eggplant Dish - Borani Banajan I believe.
  4. Chicken Skewers
  5. Taziki sauce and salad of some sort.

Dessert:

  1. Baklava

How does this menu sound? Would you take out anything? And does anyone have a good tried and tested recipe for Maklooba and Adana Kabab or Koobideh?

Thanks!!!

i would definitely add greek salad with feta cheese and meeze platter. grilled turkish koftas can do as well .

In my opinion, no need for koftas when there are already 3 meat dishes on the menu. I think menu looks good because you have a rice dish and you have items which can be eaten with bread. You have a veggie dish...meat components...and grain. I don't think you need to change anything. I recently developed a liking for stuffed grape leaves and if you know how to make them...I'd maybe substitute one of the stuffed pastry items with that because you have 2 stuffed pastries. Or u can replace one of them with a bowl of hummus with pita wedges. But even if you don't do this...I still think it's a lovely menu.
