As the sun begins its descent into the horizon during Ramadan, the employees at Lávash Café in Clintonville ready themselves for the dinner rush. Ramadan is the Muslim holy month, marked by daily fasting from dawn to sunset, ending with the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Fitr. For Muslim-owned restaurant Lávash Café, Ramadan — which began March 10 and ends April 9 — brings a faithful crowd ready to break its fast after sunset with the cafe’s Mediterranean fare, including falafel, kebabs and shawarma, co-owner Jamal Latif said. Suhoor is the pre-dawn meal prior to the beginning of the daily fast during Ramadan, though Latif said his crowd is often seeking iftar, or the breaking of the daily fast. ————————————————————————————— 📸 An employee at Halal Munchies drizzles white sauce over chicken and lamb platters on Feb. 28.
