In 2014, Imran and his cousin, Jad, purchased Golden Pita – a successful Lebanese restaurant in the Burnaby area. Founded in 1996, Golden Pita is one of the few traditional Lebanese restaurants in the Vancouver area, and certainly the only one in Burnaby.
Both Imran and Jad come from the corporate world: Imran with experience in marketing and Jad with experience in accounting. With a bursting passion for food and the urge to start something new, the cousins left the corporate life to purchase Golden Pita.
“We bought the restaurant because we loved the food. Since day one our goal has been to preserve the exceptional quality food and service at the restaurant,” says Imran.
