Lahore Tikka House started with Alnoor Sayani, a Ugandan immigrant of Pakistani descent, who came to Canada through England at the age of 15, with nothing to his name. In 1996, he opened Lahore Tikka House with just a few tables, yet it quickly became the hub for the South Asian community, serving authentic and delicious Halal food. Since its beginning, Lahore Tikka House has transformed into a neighbourhood landmark.
