Once a year in Ramadan, we gather around the glass-topped tables of Special Ostadi in Bur Dubai. There are six or maybe nine of us, coming from New Dubai, Sharjah, Satwa and Abu Dhabi. As we side eye our phones for the maghrib prayer to signal fast’s end, we’ll turn our attention to the photos on the walls and inventory the defunct currencies under the glass on each table. Someone will ask if the Sultani kebabs (Dh57) are still available and have been ordered, before someone else straggles in late, blaming non-existent traffic at the one time of day in the only month of the year when the roads are nearly always empty.
