EDMONTON — Imran Kayesh remembers the smell of lightly marinated chicken and fish sizzling on a grill inside a packed restaurant in Bangladesh just before sunrise during Ramadan.
He's already set his sights on Middle Eastern, Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants and a coffee shop in Edmonton that plan to serve halal food until midnight, through to sunrise or 24-7. Tasnim says there's also a popular Korean fried chicken joint in Calgary that's scheduled to stay open later, and some businesses have also created space for Muslims to pray.
"You're starting to find halal food in a lot more places in Canada than you would have found 10 years ago and definitely more than 20 years ago," he says.Smith says Canadians who don't mark Ramadan, including those who work graveyard shifts or have remote jobs with international companies, also appreciate being able to get fresh, savoury South Asian and Middle Eastern meals and desserts at odd hours.
