Storyline:

With the advent of Ramadan, Iraqis become more interested in serving different types of dishes for Iftar, the evening meal that Muslims break their fast in Ramadan at sunset, including Arabic and Kurdish cuisine. In the Iraqi city of Sulaymaniyah, the demand for food increases leading to the improvement of small enterprises and businesses that produce different types of foods and sweets.
