📋 Tips for Eid Dining
- •Book early — Eid is the busiest day of the year. Popular restaurants fill up fast, especially for lunch and dinner. Make reservations at least a few days in advance.
- •Plan for peak hours. Expect crowds between 11 AM – 1 PM (post-prayer brunch rush) and 6 PM – 9 PM (dinner). Off-peak times mean shorter waits.
- •Call ahead for group reservations. If you're celebrating with a large family, call the restaurant to arrange seating. Many places can accommodate groups of 10+ with advance notice.
- •Order sweets in advance. Mithai shops and bakeries get extremely busy on Eid. Place your order a day or two before to guarantee your favourites.
- •Consider catering for home gatherings. Many halal restaurants offer Eid catering packages and family platters — perfect for hosting at home without the stress.
