Our Story

Discover the passion behind Mahdi's Haven

From Humble Beginnings

Founded in 2010 by Chef Mahdi Shah, Mahdi's Haven started as a small bistro with just 10 tables. What began as a dream to bring authentic, high-quality cuisine to our community has blossomed into one of the city's most celebrated dining destinations.

Over the years, we've stayed true to our roots while continuously innovating. Our commitment to using locally-sourced ingredients and traditional cooking techniques sets us apart in an era of fast food and shortcuts.
