Despite the long hours and high-pressure environment, the best mates powered through and proudly represented their Muslim community with their blockbuster win.
But this year, The Block 2022 winners are looking forward to spending Ramadan with their families and their community at Ramadan Nights Lakemba.
A Greenacre local, Oz has spent his fair share of time on Haldon Street and loves celebrating Ramadan with his friends and family.
“I’ve spent a lot of time here as a child and growing up through my adulthood,” Oz said.
“When you walk through Haldon Street after dark, you just see unity … people together, having something to eat, supporting small businesses.
“I just love how the greater community comes together and supports each other.”
For Oz, Ramadan is a month of celebration and bringing oneself closer to their faith.
“It’s a month of sacrifice and focus, but also a month of cleansing your soul and seeking forgiveness,” Oz said.
“I absolutely love Ramadan, obviously for the main significance around it, but also because it’s amazing to see the greater community get together to experience Ramadan as one.”
Ramadan Nights Lakemba will transform Haldon Street into a global food bazaar every night until April 20, from dusk until 3am.
If you want to say hello to Omar and Oz, they will be hosting a meet and greet event on Wednesday, March 29, from 6pm.
“Come down to Haldon Street and enjoy the delicious food on offer … we hope to see you there,” Oz said.
