Wie ändern sich die Essenszeiten im Ramadan?

For those not fasting, Ramadan does not change the flow of the day: breakfast houses, tradesmen's restaurants and cafés work as usual. In big cities lunch is like any other day's.

The evening is different. The hour of iftar is known to the minute, and at that moment every table sits down at once; the minutes just before are the busiest and just after the quietest. Restaurants usually offer a fixed-price iftar menu.

Sahur is the meal before dawn; in some neighbourhoods places serving it stay open. There are also records belonging to this month: pide, güllaç and dates are the three things most looked for.
