Authentic Mardin & Mesopotamian Cuisine in Toronto

Welcome to Mardin Restaurant, located at the vibrant intersection of Keele & Finch in Toronto.

As a family-owned and operated establishment, our mission is to bring the rich culinary heritage of Mardin and the unforgettable flavors of Mesopotamian cuisine to the heart of the city.


If you are searching for authentic Mesopotimian food in Toronto, traditional Mardin dishes, or a cozy Middle Eastern restaurant near North York, you’ve come to the right place.

Our Story – A Family Tradition of Taste

The soul of Mardin Restaurant is the Genç Family, who spent many years running successful restaurants across Türkiye before bringing their experience, passion, and tradition to Canada. For them, food is more than a meal—it is culture, memory, and hospitality passed through generations.

Our kitchen is guided by the talented Chef Fatima, whose mastery of traditional Mardin recipes ensures that every dish is rich, authentic, and full of flavor. Leading our dessert section is Mehmet, known for preparing beloved classics— from trileçe and künefe to other Middle Eastern sweets—fresh daily with exceptional craftsmanship.

Their sons, Harun and Herdem, continue the family legacy by welcoming guests with warm service, friendly hospitality, and genuine care.
