In the heart of Mississauga, where diversity and resilience define the city’s character, one culinary story has risen above the rest—Mulham Cuisine.
More than just a restaurant, Mulham has become a proud symbol of Syrian excellence in Canada, showcasing not only the depth of our cuisine but also the spirit of perseverance, family, and cultural pride.
Founded by a passionate Syrian family who arrived in Canada with little more than recipes and determination, Mulham Cuisine is a testament to the power of heritage. What started as a dream has become a beacon for Syrian Canadians and food lovers alike. The owners brought with them generations-old techniques, an unwavering commitment to quality, and the heartfelt flavors of Damascus, Aleppo, and Homs—reimagined in the kitchens of Mississauga.
From their first catering orders to becoming one of the city’s most beloved Middle Eastern spots, Mulham’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Today, they’re not just serving food—they’re creating a legacy that uplifts our community and preserves the richness of Syrian identity.
Canada’s Top Safiha? Mississauga Has It!
Ask any foodie in Mississauga where to find the best Safiha (Meat Fatayer) in the GTA, and you’ll hear one answer again and again: Mulham Cuisine. These legendary meat pies—thin, spiced, and packed with authentic flavor—have become the restaurant’s signature dish. Crafted in traditional Syrian style and baked fresh daily, they’ve gained a cult following not just in Mississauga, but in surrounding cities like Brampton, Oakville, and even as far as Hamilton.
Whether it’s beef, high steaks, or spinach and cheese variations, Mulham’s fatayer selection is unmatched. They’ve elevated a beloved staple of Syrian street food into a gourmet highlight for events, family gatherings, and casual meals alike.
Cheese Fatayer
Fluffy, golden, and oozing with creamy goodness, Mulham Cuisine’s Cheese Fatayer is a customer favorite. Made with a blend of soft white cheeses, herbs, and parsley, these boat-shaped pastries are baked to perfection, offering a melty, savory bite every time. Ideal as part of a mezze spread or a light snack, they’re the ultimate comfort food for cheese lovers.
Spinach Fatayer
A perfect harmony of tangy and earthy flavors, the Spinach Fatayer is filled with sautéed spinach, onions, sumac, and a hint of lemon juice. These hand-folded pastries are a staple of Levantine kitchens, balancing health and taste in every bite. Topped with bursts of color and crunch like pink peppercorn and walnuts, they’re as beautiful as they are delicious.
Lahm Mjarmasheh
A heartier twist on traditional meat pies made with diced halal meat instead of ground, this Syrian favorite features a chunkier texture and bold flavor. Each pie is topped with tender meat pieces mixed with fresh tomatoes, parsley, and subtle spices, giving it a vibrant and juicy bite. Reminiscent of a Turkish pide, it’s baked to golden perfection and makes for a satisfying dish that’s both authentic and filling.
Catering That Connects People
Fresh from the oven and rich in tradition, Mulham Cuisine’s famous Safiha (Lahm Bi Ajeen) is a catering favorite made with care and authenticity. These savory mini meat pies are hand-prepared daily, topped with a flavorful blend of finely ground halal beef or lamb, mixed with tomatoes, onions, and signature Syrian spices. Each piece is garnished with pine nuts for that extra bite of tradition. Baked in large trays inside stone-deck ovens, the Safiha comes out hot, thin, and perfectly crisp around the edges. Ideal for events and family gatherings, they are commonly ordered by the kilo, making them the star of any mezze spread.
Catering That Connects People
Mulham Cuisine doesn’t just serve the community—they nourish it. Their catering service has become a go-to for Syrian weddings, Eid celebrations, baby showers, and Aqiqahs across the Greater Toronto Area. With a massive menu that includes classics like Basha w Asakro, Sheshbarak, Okra with Rice, and a wide range of grape leaves, kebbah, and stews, every dish brings people together around the table, just like back home.
And it’s not just about quantity—it’s about quality. Every meal is made with halal ingredients, traditional spices, and the kind of love only found in a home-cooked meal. From custom orders to full buffets, Mulham ensures every guest leaves full—and fulfilled.
A Sweet Taste of Syria
No Syrian meal is complete without dessert, and Mulham Cuisine delivers with an unforgettable sweets menu. From the rich, nut-filled Warbat and flaky Baklawa, to creamy Madlouka with pistachio and Namoura with Keshta, their sweets bring a taste of Syria’s sweetest traditions to every table.
Their fruit displays, often the centerpiece of catered events, are as artistic as they are delicious—another testament to the team’s dedication to presentation and detail. Every piece is made fresh in-house, turning meals into celebrations and first-time customers into loyal fans.
Aleppo’s Ramadan Specials
During Ramadan, Mulham Cuisine proudly revives one of Aleppo’s most cherished traditions with their Aromatic Sweet Date Brioche—Maarouk bl Tamer. This soft, fragrant, brioche-like bread is a beloved specialty in Syrian households during the holy month, especially in Aleppo. Filled with rich ingredients like chocolate, dates, lotus spread, coconut with raisins, each variation of Maarouk carries a unique warmth and nostalgic sweetness. For those who prefer a simpler option, Mulham also offers plain Maarouk, perfect for pairing with cheese or tea at Suhoor. Baked fresh daily, these Ramadan-exclusive treats are a beautiful tribute to Syrian culture and the spirit of the season.
Pride in Every Bite
Mulham Cuisine is more than a business. It’s a community pillar, a cultural ambassador, and a success story we’re all proud to share. They’ve not only introduced countless Canadians to the richness of Syrian cuisine—they’ve made Syrian Canadians feel seen, valued, and at home.
Their rise is a reminder of what’s possible when we stay rooted in our traditions, while reaching for new heights in our adopted home. From their kitchen in Mississauga, Mulham Cuisine is writing a new chapter of Syrian excellence in Canada—one dish at a time.
Mulham Cuisine isn’t just feeding Mississauga—they’re building bridges between cultures, one perfectly seasoned safiha and one warm bowl of sheshbarak at a time. If you haven’t visited yet, you’re missing out on one of the greatest Syrian culinary experiences in Canada.
