Meet the Owner –Mohamed, the Heart and Soul Behind Alibaba's Restaurant

At Alibaba's Restaurant, we take great pride in the authenticity and quality of our Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, and that passion starts with our owner, Mohamed. With deep roots in the culinary traditions of the Mediterranean, Mohamed is dedicated to bringing the rich flavors of the region to Toronto .

Mohamed’s journey began with a love for family gatherings around the dinner table, where food was more than just nourishment — it was a celebration of culture, heritage, and connection. This inspired a dream to share those authentic, home-cooked flavors with others, leading to the opening of Alibaba’s Restaurant in 2000.

As a hands-on owner, Mohamed is involved in every aspect of the restaurant — from carefully selecting the finest ingredients to personally ensuring that each dish that leaves the kitchen meets the high standards that have made Alibaba's a local favorite. Whether it’s a special family recipe or a new twist on a classic dish, Mohamed ensures that every meal is made with love and care.

When you dine at Alibaba's Restaurant, you’re not just enjoying a meal, you're experiencing the warmth, hospitality, and passion that Mohamed has poured into the restaurant. Mohamed  takes pride in creating a welcoming space where every customer feels like part of the family.
