Ramadan in Dining

At UC Davis, we’re all about traditions and value everyone’s observances. We know that food is a big part of Ramadan.


Community members observing Ramadan have additional meal options available during the fasting period. Ask any dining staff member who will be happy to assist you.


If you are observing this month, we hope the experience is joyful and meaningful.
