Does anyone know which restaurants will stay open during Ramadan (even for discreet take-away)?

I know most places are routinely shut until iftar, but there HAVE to be a few restaurants that offer take-away service during the daytime. I wish the government would let eating establishments make their own rules in this regard -- stay open if you want, close until iftar if you choose to. I feel like it's enforced fasting for EVERYONE, Muslim and non-Muslim alike.

All or most of the major hotels will have at least one restaurant open during lunch. You should also be able to go to some of the food markets (like Carrefour) and buy food during the day to take to your office and eat discreetly (ie., not in front of fasting Muslims). You cannot eat in any public place during the day. We're guests here and must honour the traditions. Last year I just fasted myself during the day and was not any the worse for having done so.

Dear, I am afraid there would be no open restos during the Holy month of Ramadan at specifed fasting hours. You can eat discreetly at your own homespace, or bring your own meal and eat in your office pantry depending upon your management. I kindly suggest that you just adhere to this in respect to the Islam religion. ANyway, it will only be for a month. Have a nice day.
