When it comes to celebrating Eid al-Fitr, few things feel as fitting as gathering around a generous table filled with comforting classics, bold spices and dishes made to be shared.
This year, Hyatt House Sandton invites guests to do just that with a thoughtfully curated Eid al-Fitr buffet that balances tradition, variety and a touch of indulgence — all in true Sandton style.
The spread is designed for lingering lunches and joyful reunions.
- It opens with a welcoming selection of cold beverages, including refreshing juices and creamy plain lassi, setting the tone for a relaxed and celebratory meal. A well-stocked bread station follows, featuring brioche and ciabatta served with chilled butter — perfect for easing into the feast.
- The cold selection brings colour and freshness to the table, from smooth hummus and tzatziki to a generous cheese platter and a create-your-own garden salad bursting with crisp greens, pickles, herbs and vibrant dressings. A classic beetroot salad with feta and rocket adds a tangy, earthy note that ties everything together beautifully. For a little something warm to start, hot mezze favourites like beef samoosas and chicken mini pies make a welcome appearance.
- Then comes the heart of the celebration: a comforting, flavour-packed hot selection that celebrates beloved favourites. Slow-cooked beef nihari delivers deep, aromatic richness, while butter chicken offers creamy, spiced comfort. Lamb dum biryani, fragrant with whole spices and basmati rice, sits proudly alongside lemon butter pan-fried fish, roasted herb potatoes and vegetables, and fluffy green pea pulao rice. A selection of condiments — from mango atchar to mint chutney and crisp poppadums — allows diners to customise each bite.
- No Eid celebration would be complete without dessert, and this spread does not disappoint. Guests can end on a sweet note with traditional Umm Ali bread pudding topped with pistachio, classic carrot halwa, delicate shortbread biscuits and a refreshing fresh fruit salad — perfect for rounding off a generous meal.
Priced at R495 per person, the buffet offers excellent value for a celebratory dining experience, with the added feel-good bonus that 10% of every transaction goes towards supporting the Gift of the Givers Foundation. It’s a feast that celebrates community, generosity and togetherness — exactly what Eid al-Fitr is all about. Whether joining with family, friends or colleagues, this Eid buffet at Hyatt House Sandton promises a warm, flavourful and festive way to mark the occasion — one delicious plate at a time.
