Mezza Lebanese Kitchen has expanded its footprint in Canada by opening its 20th location in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Located in New Minas, the new outlet will offer its guests authentic Lebanese flavours.

Mezza Lebanese Kitchen business development and franchising vice-president Peter Nahas said: “We are delighted to open our doors in New Minas and be part of this vibrant community.

"Our goal has always been to provide a warm and welcoming ambience where customers can savour the flavours of Lebanon and enjoy the company of friends and family."

The company added that its new Mezza Lebanese Kitchen restaurant will be the second location for the franchise operators.

The items on offer will combine traditional recipes with modern twists.

Its menu includes an extensive range of traditional Lebanese dishes such as shawarmas, flavourful falafels, authentic donairs, aromatic rice bowls, fresh salads and various vegetarian options.

Mezza added that the new location will also create 20 new employment opportunities for residents of the community.

In May this year, Mezza Lebanese Kitchen opened a new restaurant in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

Mezza’s Dartmouth location is said to be the fifth location for franchisees Nick Conway, David Little and Corey Walker.

The restaurant, located at 569 Portland Street, is spread across an area of 1,600ft², with dine-in seating for 20 guests.
