About Us

Founded in 2016, Tayybeh began as a community initiative creating meaningful opportunities for newcomer Syrian women to share their culinary traditions and build new lives in Canada. Since then, Tayybeh has grown into an established Vancouver restaurant, catering and hospitality company, known for authentic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, generous hospitality, and a strong connection to community.

Inspired by Syrian family recipes and culinary traditions, Tayybeh serves individuals, families, businesses and organizations through restaurant dining, corporate catering, weddings, conferences, private celebrations and community events. Our approach combines delicious, freshly prepared food with thoughtful service and the warmth of Middle Eastern hospitality.

As Tayybeh continues to grow, our purpose remains unchanged.

Our mission is to empower newcomer women by creating meaningful employment, supporting financial independence and social integration, while celebrating and sharing Syrian culture through food.
