Our Journey
Ishtar’s story begins over 30 years ago in the vibrant streets of Baghdad, Iraq. Founded on dreams and culinary passion, our family ventured to Canada, bringing with us the treasured recipes that have been perfected and passed down through generations.

Today, Ishtar stands as a symbol of that enduring dream, offering a taste of Middle Eastern tradition with every bite.
