At Iftar in Western Sydney, food is more than just a meal – it’s a story of family, tradition, and love. Founded by mother-and-son duo Rita and Jeremy, this vibrant Middle Eastern restaurant brings generations of cherished recipes to life, reimagined with a fresh, modern twist.
Inspired by the women who shaped her, Rita’s cooking is deeply rooted in heritage. Drawing on the flavours and techniques passed down from her mother and mother-in-law, every dish carries a sense of history while embracing contemporary creativity. For Jeremy, Iftar is a tribute built in honour of his mum, whose passion and warmth define the heart of the restaurant.
The menu celebrates both tradition and innovation. From their signature brekky board featuring creamy labne, zesty flavours, and perfectly cooked fried eggs, to their much-loved woodfired sourdough, crafted over 72 hours, each plate is designed to be shared and savoured. Standout fusion dishes like wagyu kofta dumplings and lamb shawarma tacos showcase the restaurant’s playful approach, blending Middle Eastern roots with global influences.
But beyond the food, it’s the experience that makes Iftar special. Step inside and you’ll find warm hospitality, a lively atmosphere, and Rita’s unmistakable touch in every detail. Whether it’s the welcoming smiles or the joy of watching guests enjoy her cooking, the spirit of family is ever-present.
At Iftar, every bite tells a story and every visit feels like coming home.
