Eid feasts

Islamic festival banquets

Eid feasts are celebratory meals marking the two major Islamic holidays: Eid al-Fitr (ending Ramadan's month of fasting) and Eid al-Adha (the Festival of Sacrifice).

These communal gatherings typically feature lamb, rice dishes, sweets, and regional specialties.

Families prepare elaborate spreads and share food with neighbors and the less fortunate: We spent all morning cooking for the Eid feast.
