A well-stocked bread station follows, featuring brioche and ciabatta served with chilled butter \u2014 perfect for easing into the feast.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"848\" data-end=\"1312\">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.

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 \u2014 from mango atchar to mint chutney and crisp poppadums \u2014 allows diners to customise each bite.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1853\" data-end=\"2166\">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 \u2014 perfect for rounding off a generous meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2168\" data-end=\"2494\">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.
