The holy month of Ramadan is a time of spirituality, sharing and generosity. At Hotel Mandji in Port-Gentil, we welcome this blessed period with the greatest respect and sincere hospitality. Who are the guests we receive? Gabonese families, business travellers, members of the Muslim community of Port-Gentil and all those who wish to share a moment of togetherness around universal values of brotherhood and solidarity.
What does Hotel Mandji offer during Ramadan? Every evening, at the time of breaking the fast, our restaurant transforms into a warm gathering place where tables are set with elegance. The first dates and traditional milk mark the beginning of Iftar, followed by the call to prayer broadcast in a dedicated space set up within the hotel. Our team ensures that every detail is respected so that our Muslim guests feel fully welcomed.
A generous and authentic Iftar buffet
When and where does Iftar take place? Every evening during Ramadan, from sunset, our restaurant welcomes guests around a sumptuous buffet. Our chef has composed a menu that pays tribute to the culinary traditions of the Muslim world while incorporating the local flavours of Gabon. On the menu: creamy harira, chicken and almond briouates, vegetable samosas, grilled lamb skewers, royal couscous, chicken tagine with olives and preserved lemons, Gabonese-style grilled fish, and a selection of fresh mixed salads.
Sweet treats to break the fast
How do we complement this feast? With a selection of oriental pastries and homemade desserts that delight the palate: honey and pistachio baklava, gazelle horns, sesame chebbakia, date cream, chocolate mousse, fresh seasonal fruits and mint tea served in the purest tradition. Every bite is an invitation to a culinary journey, a bridge between African and Eastern cultures that enriches our community in Port-Gentil.
A dedicated prayer space and adapted schedules
Where can our guests pray? Hotel Mandji provides a clean, comfortable prayer room oriented towards the Qibla. Prayer mats and copies of the Quran are provided. Our service hours are adapted throughout the month of Ramadan: the Suhoor breakfast is available from 4:00 AM for those who wish to eat before dawn, and dinner service is extended to welcome Iftar guests until 11:00 PM.
A spirit of community and sharing
Why choose Hotel Mandji for Ramadan? Because we firmly believe that hospitality is a universal value. Every Friday evening during Ramadan, we organize a community Iftar open to all, where families from Port-Gentil are invited to share a meal in a fraternal atmosphere. These special evenings include Quranic recitations, intercultural exchanges and moments of sharing that strengthen the bonds within the Port-Gentil community.
