Diwan

Diwan is located in the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto and offers an innovative take on the cuisines of the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. The restaurant serves a sharing-style menu, and all dishes are 100 percent halal-certified. Occasionally, special dishes are also offered that are inspired by the culinary traditions of the cultures showcased in the museum's exhibits. The atmosphere in the bright, modern dining area combines contemporary design with comfort and historic splendor. Especially noteworthy are the intricately carved and painted wooden panels on the walls, which date from 1799 and once adorned a private house in Damascus. From mid-May through September, the restaurant offers the option to enjoy food and drinks on the terrace when the weather permits. This outdoor space is considered one of the most beautiful in Toronto. Currently, Diwan is temporarily closed due to renovation work and a change of catering provider, while the adjoining Courtyard Café in the atrium remains open.
