Celebrating Eid in Knightsbridge

Award-winning fine-dining Turkish restaurant The Mantl, at 142 Brompton Road, has one of the most impressive menus around, featuring dishes packed with authentic flavours. Order the mezze and a mixed grill for the table for the ultimate banquet and make it a family Eid celebration to remember.

For something extra special, why not embrace the elevated and sophisticated décor and famed cuisine of chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten at abc kitchens, located within The Emory. Its intimate private dining room is the perfect space for you and up to 10 guests to enjoy the vast menu. The mouthwatering black truffle pizza and the roasted cauliflower with turmeric tahini, red zhug, pistachio and date molasses are particularly good. What better way to celebrate the end of Ramadan?

For a sweet finish, order a box of Hafiz Mustafa’s assorted premium pistachio baklava or head to Cafer Erol for its honey almond roll Turkish delight.

It would be rude not to peruse the endless selection of stores along the Brompton Road, where you’ll find something for everyone on your gift list.

Barely in need of an introduction, the iconic Harrods is the ideal one-stop shop for, well, pretty much anything your heart desires. We recommend continuing the feast theme by heading to its indulgent Food Hall to pick up a fresh smoothie or a box of indulgent chocolate almonds from the Chocolate Hall as a gift to bring on family visits.

For hard-to-find luxury designer brands, Designer Exchange on Brompton Road is a must. This modern space welcomes clients who are looking for unique designer pieces to buy and sell, including rare pre-loved items. Think couture Chanel handbags, last year’s Loewe outerwear and this season’s most sought-after gems. If fine Italian craftsmanship is your preference, look no further than Piazza Castello. Offering everything from timelessly minimal tailoring to printed dresses, this Italian fashion house is the ideal spot to find a gift for those with a keen sartorial eye.

For the finest fragrance, discover the Marshoud 4 collection in White, Black and Blue from Atyab Al Marshoud. One of the oldest in the perfume industry, this artistic, luxury fragrance brand creates a distinct aromatic experience using traditional Middle Eastern techniques, including hand-blended pure essential oils.

Treat the family to an Eid Day surprise with tickets to the Paradox Museum, conveniently located opposite Harrods on the Brompton Road. Bringing together the worlds of science, art and human perception through its 50 interactive exhibits, you could find yourself defying the laws of physics in the Zero Gravity Room or hanging upside down by your legs from a Tube station information sign – it’s a seriously fun way to spend the day and capture some truly memorable snaps for the family album too.

After a day of dining, shopping and fun, immerse yourself in one of Knightsbridge’s finest hotel spas. Discover the Vitality Pool and Relaxation Rooms (with separate areas for men and women) at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park before heading up to one of the hotel’s stunning Art Deco suites, or discover The Lanesborough Club & Spa’s ladies’ and gentlemen’s saunas and steam rooms before enjoying dinner at The Lanesborough Grill.
