Halal Dining for Ramadan

Buffalo State Dining Services will offer the following options for students observing Ramadan:

Suhoor bags will be available at the desk in the Bengal Kitchen. Suhoor is the meal before starting fast in the early morning. For one swipe, you will receive a bag of food to take with you for the next morning. The bag will consist of soy milk, juice, an oatmeal cup, a box of Cheerios or Rice Chex, a bagel with butter, an apple, and two hard-boiled eggs.

Iftar meals consisting of halal chicken and rice with vegetables will be available for dinner through the Boost mobile app. Iftar is the meal for breaking fast at sunset. Please choose the halal option on Boost, and we will have your order ready for pickup. You must swipe upon receiving your meal. More information about the Boost mobile app is available on the Dining Services website. Please text questions about the Boost app to (716) 800-4164.

After spring break, True Burger will offer halal burgers. Halal chicken will always be featured in Tu Taco, and we will always have a Boost option of a halal meal that can be noted as dine in or out.

On Friday, April 21, we will celebrate Eid-al-Fitr in the Bengal Kitchen with featured recipes from Zubair Mohajir, an award-winning executive chef and owner of Wazwan Chicago. The menu will include halal tikka masala and Chettinad chicken.

A very special thanks to the staff of Residence Life and to Chartwells resident district manager Glenn Bucello and his team for helping raise awareness about Ramadan and providing to-go bags for our Muslim students.
