In Turkish culture, food is far more than nourishment—it’s a celebration of life itself. Every religious holiday, birthday, and family gathering becomes a culinary experience rich in meaning and connection. At Mama Fatma, located in Mississauga, Ontario, we carry this tradition across borders to create authentic, memorable celebrations infused with warmth, heritage, and exceptional Turkish-Mediterranean cuisine.

ToggleDining During Religious Holidays
Religious holidays such as Ramadan (Ramazan) and Eid (Bayram) are deeply significant in Turkish culture, marked by generosity, spiritual reflection, and of course, family-style feasts.
Iftar at Mama Fatma: A Taste of Home
During Ramadan, breaking the fast at sunset—known as iftar—is a cherished ritual. At Mama Fatma, our iftar offerings begin traditionally: dates and water, followed by a rich lentil soup (mercimek çorbası), savory börek, and charcoal-grilled Adana kebab or tender lamb shank (kuzu incik). Many guests tell us that our menus evoke the spirit of home, even thousands of kilometers away.
Eid Celebrations with Sweet Traditions
Eid al-Fitr, known in Turkish as “Şeker Bayramı,” celebrates the end of Ramadan with sweets and shared meals. Our dessert trays feature handcrafted baklava, lokum, and seasonal Turkish pastries. Guests often reserve large tables for family gatherings, creating joyful moments over shared platters and Turkish tea.
