Time it right
Iftar is at Maghrib — check today's prayer times for the exact minute. Aim to be seated 20–30 minutes early at popular spots, or order delivery before the pre-iftar rush.

Your questions, answered
Where can I break fast (buka puasa) in Singapore?
Options range from halal buffets and hotel iftar spreads to nasi padang institutions and hawker centres near mosques. Book buffets ahead during Ramadan — tables at popular spots go fast, especially weekends.
What time is iftar in Singapore?
Iftar is at Maghrib — around 7:10–7:25pm in Singapore depending on the date. Check daily prayer times for the exact minute; restaurants near mosques fill up just before.
Are iftar buffets halal-certified?
Many are MUIS-certified, others Muslim-owned or self-declared — it varies by venue, including hotels. Every listing on Humble Halal is labelled with its status; confirm certification on MUIS HalalSG when it matters.
Can I cater iftar for a group or corporate event?
Yes — halal caterers offer iftar packages for offices, mosques and events during Ramadan. Order 1–2 weeks ahead; Raya-adjacent dates sell out first.
