Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is a "month of blessing" marked by prayer, fasting, and charity. Muslims believe that during the month of Ramadan, Allah revealed the first verses of the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam.

At many mosques during Ramadan, about one thirtieth of the Qur'an is recited each night in prayers known astarawih. In this way, by the end of the month the complete scripture will have been recited.

Muslims practice sawm, or fasting, for the entire month of Ramadan. This means that they may eat or drink nothing, including water, while the sun shines. Families get up early for suhoor, a meal eaten before the sun rises. After the sun sets, the fast is broken with a meal known as iftar.

Fasting serves many purposes. While they are hungry and thirsty, Muslims are reminded of the suffering of the poor. Fasting is also an opportunity to practice self-control and to cleanse the body and mind. And in this most sacred month, fasting helps Muslims feel the peace that comes from spiritual devotion as well as kinship with fellow believers.

Mumbai’s famous food street, Mohammed Ali Road, gets crowded and noisy during Ramzan. But, there’s a certain fun in tucking into a plate of kheeri kebab andmalpuawhile being pushed and shoved. We couldn’t resist the temptation and made a trip to get our fix of iftar food. Here’re some of the must tries 

Chicken Tandoori and Chicken Tikka 

As soon as you enter Mohammed Ali Road, the aromas wafting from the kebab stalls will pull you. Start with some charred Chicken Tikkas and Tandoori Chicken.

Khiri Kalegi at Bismilla Stall

Make your next stop at Bismilla stall for some khiri (udders) kaleji (liver) roasted on charcoal or fried.

 Where: Bismilla stall, Mohammed Ali Road
 Price: Khiri Kaleji Rs 80 (per plate)

ITS IN MY HAND MUTTON KHICHDA ...

Khichda

 Towards the end of Mohammed Ali road, you will find a man sitting with a huge vessel of Khichda. The concoction of mutton, lentils, rice and spices is the ideal meal after the kebabs.

 Eid is the best time to visit this place when many make shift restaurants come up just beside the Mosque. Tandoori chicken, chicken masala fry, mutton bhuna, kebabs or chicken baida roti——everything is delicious out there.
