A Warm Welcome to the Arab Kitchen

Food connects us in many ways: through community, heritage, culture, memory, and identity. At Daymi, food is a universal language that transcends borders, bringing people together. Situated in the heart of Toronto, Daymi offers a modern take on Middle Eastern cuisine, blending traditional flavors with contemporary sensibilities.

The term “Daymi” means “hoping your hospitality and generosity lasts forever”. It is an expression often used after having a meal, to express gratitude for being welcomed into someone’s home, and is a testament to the timeless values of hospitality and generosity in the Lebanese culture.

Inspired by family recipes, each dish evokes the warmth of home-cooked meals, where the grandmother holds a central place at the table. Daymi’s culinary experience is more than just flavor—it’s a celebration of vibrant colors and rich flavours that honor the Middle East’s cultural essence while appealing to modern tastes.

The brand’s visual identity reflects this balance between old and new, with bright tones like ruby red, emerald green, and sapphire blue paired with sleek, modern typography. The design draws inspiration from Arabic calligraphy and intricate weaving techniques, creating a unique blend of tradition and contemporary style.

From eco-friendly packaging to artistic calligraphy and bold illustrations, Daymi offers an immersive, forward-thinking experience. It’s a hip, trendy space where the food tells a story, inviting guests to experience both the nostalgia of home and the excitement of something new—a place where Middle Eastern tradition meets modern life.
