Khana Shana

Our Story

Our journey started on the other side of the globe when two teenagers fell in love, got married, and decided to make Canada their home. Thirty years of expertise in the hospitality industry, combined with thirty years of ardent love for cooking and entertaining, instilled a strong passion for food into us and our children too. Soon enough, we were raising three young cooks in our home, as well as a Canadian daughter in law and even a cat who have, over time, developed a sincere taste for our ethnic cuisine.

It is that passion that created an aspiration to serve beyond our own table. Hence the concept of Khokha Eatery came about, where we hope to take you on a culinary adventure to experience the true colours of our ethnic heritage in both food and ambiance. The experience at Khokha Eatery draws its influence from the generous, warm hospitality of our Pakistani origin, the rich culture of the region, authentic customary cuisine, as well as indigenous casual street food bringing to you a palette of flavours and art in a modern and urban setting.

We believe in celebrating food and diversity by presenting a fusion of elements from the East and West, bringing the community together. Come see what it is all about – we invite you to experience the flavours and culture of Pakistan.

I tried the halwa poori (weekend lunch special) yesterday and it was heavenly! It came with two fried breads and good portions of each of the halwa (sweet), potatoes, and chickpeas. Lots of food for the price! I also ordered the chai and it was milky and flavorful! I will definitely be going back.

Authentic Pakistani food is an awesome addition to Barrhaven. The flavors were exquisite, the service was friendly, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Their Chapli kabab and chicken khokha roll are a must try.
