Where to Enjoy Iftar Ramadan: Ismaya Group Presents Curated Ramadan Set Menus
The holy month of Ramadan is a time for reflection, restraint, and togetherness. As fasting comes to an end each day at sunset, families, friends, and colleagues gather to share iftar Ramadan, marking the moment with a meaningful meal and conversation.
Welcoming this sacred period, Ismaya Group introduces a series of Ramadan dining programmes across several of its restaurants. Through carefully prepared menus, the group highlights Indonesian flavours, traditional cooking techniques, and communal dining concepts designed to suit both intimate and large-group iftar gatherings.
Participating venues include Social House, Social Garden, and SEMAJA, each offering a distinct interpretation of iftar Ramadan while maintaining a consistent focus on comfort, balance, and cultural appreciation.
Understanding the Meaning of Iftar Ramadan
Iftar is the Arabic term for breaking the fast and refers to the meal consumed at sunset, following the Maghrib call to prayer. During Ramadan, iftar is more than a daily meal; it represents gratitude, patience, and shared experience.
In many cultures, iftar Ramadan is traditionally enjoyed together, making restaurants a popular setting for gatherings that range from family dinners to corporate events. Ismaya Group’s Ramadan programmes are designed with this social aspect in mind, offering menus intended for sharing and conversation.
Iftar Ramadan at Social House and Social Garden
Social House and Social Garden present Iftar Done Right, a Ramadan dining concept that focuses on familiar Indonesian flavours prepared with attention to detail and balance.
The menu begins with Asem Asem Iga Semarang, featuring US prime beef ribs cooked in a lightly sour and aromatic broth, served with rice and chilli sauce. The dish offers a gentle introduction to the meal, suitable after a day of fasting.
Seafood selections add variety and contrast. Barramundi Bakar Sulawesi is served with a fresh chilli accompaniment, while Udang Gulai Aceh provide depth through a rich, spiced curry sauce.
Completing the selection is Cumi Bakar Jimbaran, paired with Balinese sambal matah for a clean and fragrant finish.
Main Course Highlight
The main course features Rendang Wagyu Padang, prepared using Payakumbuh-style slow cooking. Wagyu beef cheeks are simmered until tender and served with coconut cassava, crispy potatoes, and red chilli sauce. The dish reflects a classic Indonesian flavour profile that is both filling and familiar.
