Our Story
A Journey of Culture and Flavor
At Ottawa Kabab, we are passionate about sharing the authentic tastes of the Middle East with our customers. Our story begins with our owner, Mamown Srdah, who grew up in Syria and has always had a deep love for the rich and complex flavors of his culture’s cuisine.
In late 2021, Srdah took over Ottawa Kabab, which had previously been an Iraqi-owned restaurant. With his extensive knowledge of Syrian cuisine, Srdah set out to create a menu that showcased the best of his country’s dishes while also featuring Lebanese and Iraqi favorites.
From our sizzling Iraqi kabab to our hand-crafted middle eastern appitizers, each dish is carefully crafted using traditional recipes passed down through generations. We use only the freshest ingredients, including herbs and spices imported directly from the Middle East, to ensure that every bite is bursting with flavor.
With the addition of Huthaifa Al Aridi, our co-founder and pastry chef, our menu also includes an extensive selection of mouth-watering Middle Eastern sweets. Al Aridi brings 25 years of experience in making traditional sweets like Knafeh and Baklavas, which are now available for our customers to enjoy.
Our restaurant is a culinary oasis for those seeking a true taste of the Middle East, with dishes like creamy hummus and crispy falafel that will transport your taste buds to the vibrant streets of Baghdad, Beirut, and Damascus. We prepare our food with love and care, using traditional recipes passed down through generations. Come and indulge in the rich flavors of our culture at Ottawa Kabab!
