During Ramadan, falafel balls are sometimes eaten at iftar, the meal that breaks the daily fast. Iftar begins after sunset, when Muslims end the day’s fast with food and drink.
The meal often starts with dates and water, following a widely observed tradition associated with the Prophet Muhammad, before continuing with larger dishes. The exact foods vary by region and household, and falafel may appear as a snack, appetizer, or part of a wider spread.
Suhoor is the pre-dawn meal eaten before the fast begins, so it is the opposite point in the fasting day. Brunch is not a Ramadan fasting term, while Seder refers to a Jewish ritual meal, most notably during Passover.
