Founded in 1971 by a husband and wife team who were immigrants to Canada, Mid-East Foods started out as a small Middle-Eastern specialty shop, the size of a convenience store, on the West side of Ottawa, Ontario. The Njaim couple felt it was important to stock specialty products used by new immigrants in preparing their daily meals and provided the Lebanese community with a taste of home.

​

Our local communities remain at the core of everything that we do. No matter where you come from, you can count on us to find a taste of home or venture out to a world of taste. We are committed to continue growing as your needs grow and as our local communities diversify to make Ottawa a strong community.
