Break the fast
Hot food the minute the sun goes down.
Community iftars, campus iftars and office iftars share one problem: a lot of hungry people at exactly the same moment. A truck cooking to order at the curb meets them there.

Ramadan runs about a month, so there are many nights to choose from, and weekend nights are the busiest. Four to six weeks ahead is a good time to send your dates, with a backup night in mind.
A suggestion based on roughly 6 weeks of notice, not a deadline. Nothing is booked until you confirm.
Ramadan iftar & suhoor nights
During Ramadan the fast ends at sunset, and the time shifts a little each evening. Ramadan falls in winter through the late 2020s, which means an early iftar, often before 6:30 pm in the DC area, which suits weekday gatherings at masjids, universities and workplaces.
Suhoor is the pre-dawn meal, and suhoor nights near the end of Ramadan have become a social event for students and young families. Late-night service depends on the date and the location, so ask us about it rather than assume. For iftar, we time the window to open right at maghrib.
Event ideas
Families break the fast with the water and dates you set out, then walk straight to the window for a hot plate after prayer.
Student groups host open iftars for friends of every faith. A fully halal truck keeps the menu simple to explain.
Offices that want to include fasting colleagues schedule the truck for sunset, so nobody eats lunch-hour leftovers at their desk.
Marinated chicken with fresh vegetables and garlic sauce.
Seasoned lamb, fresh vegetables and cool sauce in pita.
Grilled chicken, peppers, onions and melted cheese.
Hot, crisp golden fries.
Cold bottled water.
