Mahdi Mohajer began EdNa Catering out of a desire to bring a little taste of home to his community. With more than 15 years of experience as a professional caterer and a lifetime of experience cooking authentic Middle Eastern food, Mahdi has perfected the process. His passion for cooking began as a teenager, learning recipes from his mother and grandmother. Mahdi’s love for cooking flourished as he became a father and started preparing food for his own family. From barbecues in the park to meals cooked over a camp stove, Mahdi’s food has been at the centre of every family gathering and the root of several fond family memories.

His influence began to expand as the entire community wanted a taste of Mahdi’s sensational dishes. Pretty soon, he was cooking for crowds of 50-100 on a regular basis and decided to make his food more accessible through the establishment of EdNa Catering. To this day, Mahdi continues to serve home-cooked Middle Eastern meals to clients across the city, and his passion for cooking has never faltered.
