We were so thrilled to have the opportunity to cater Ramadan Iftar at Simon Fraser University, something we hadn’t gotten a request to do with them before. We’re privileged to have an ongoing catering contract with SFU and this was our first time going off of our typical Tayybeh x SFU menu. It was heartwarming and exciting to create a custom Iftar menu for this occasion. 

Hosted by The Centre for Comparative Muslim Studies and the Islamophobia Legal Assistance Hotline, this community Iftar was free for registered attendees.
