Our story

The same saj. The same zaatar.

Al-Malik Bakery started as a family saj — the same round griddle used on village rooftops from Beirut to Nablus. We opened in Scarborough so the neighbourhood could get manakeesh the way it is meant to be: stretched by hand, topped generously, and eaten within minutes of leaving the heat.

Zaatar is mixed in-house. Cheese is a salted akkawi blend that stretches without turning rubbery. Meat is seven-spice, onion, and tomato. Dough rests overnight. That is the whole method.

We bake for breakfast queues, Friday family tables, iftar trays, and anyone tired of sandwiches. Come in, ask at the counter, or take a mixed tray home. The saj runs until we lock the door.

Al-Malik is not a café with a bakery case. It is a bakery with a saj, a stone deck, and a counter that smells like thyme and ghee.

What we hold to

The table rules

✦

Baked when you ask

Manakeesh is not a holding-cabinet item. If the saj is on, yours is being made.

✦

Levantine recipes

Lebanese, Palestinian, and Syrian baking — zaatar, kishk, sfeeha — without fusion gimmicks.

Feed a crowd

Trays and boxes for gatherings. Ask at the counter what we can bake that day.
