Should I bring something to eat?

So I am used to when I bring something to someone else’s house for dinner, but I’m unsure whether I should and if so what. I started a new job a few weeks ago and two of my staff are Turkish and Muslim. They invited my family over for dinner tonight. I know that Ramadan, but that’s pretty much the extent of my knowledge. Usually I would bring cookies, brownies, or some kind of dessert (which I best cook), but I do not want to see something they do not eat. I have to told that they do not eat that we eat in the lounge to share. So what is the proper etiquette in this situation?

Just to make sure you do not bring anything inappropriate, I would call them and ask if you can bring anything.
