Spending quality time with close friends in a restaurant or café is something people look forward to during the month of Ramadan. While there are many restaurant options in Jakarta, breaking the fast at a fancy restaurant in an upscale hotel has its own charm, especially when it is done with a big group. Alinear has listed five hotels in Jakarta offering iftar package below.
1. JW Marriott Hotel Jakarta
Through its newly revamped Sailendra restaurant, JW Marriott Jakarta is spoiling you by partnering with Pagi Sore, a renowned Padang restaurant in Jakarta. Having learned that Padang food is by far one of the most sought-after cuisines for breaking the fast, Sailendra with Pagi Sore highlight rendang daging (dry beef stew), gulai ayam (chicken curry), ayam pop (chicken dish), and dendeng batokok (spicy beef jerky).
