Inspired by cooking at an early age, Toorab Gohozar and his sister Sakina Noori grew up in Afghanistan. They were inspired by watching their uncle cook, a chef to former President of Afghanistan Mohammad Najibullah Ahmadzai. This motivated the brother and sister to pursue a culinary career.
Seeking a better life, the siblings escaped the war in Afghanistan and arrived in Canada in 2006. This is when their Canadian and culinary journey began!
At first, they worked at a Greek restaurant and, at the same time, started a catering business called Sakina Catering, which focused on authentic Afghan food. After years of success in both the catering and restaurant business, it was time to bring both of their passions together and open a restaurant featuring 100 per cent Halal Afghan and Greek food.
