hef Ali is the founder of Daata Grill and has been in Canada for over 30+ years. When Ali immigrated to Montreal, his first job was as a dishwasher in a Greek restaurant. As he immersed himself in the Greek culture, Ali learned various culinary ways and styles, working his way from a dishwasher to a sous chef. With experience working in multiple Greek and Italian restaurants, Ali decided to open a grocery store in Laval, QC. Daata Darbar, a place of worship in Lahore, Pakistan, always held a place in his family’s and his heart. What better way to express this love than name his store after it? Marche Daata was founded and was the first grocery store in all of Laval to sell halal meat. During his hours home from the store, he would still spend his time cooking all kinds of meals for his growing kids. After many years of success, Ali realized he missed the culinary arts too much, as it had become his passion. He decided he wanted to open a restaurant of his own. Opening a Greek or Italian restaurant made no sense as the competition was too great, and he wanted his culture also to gain some recognition. Ali saw a missing restaurant sector in Laval – Pakistani Cuisine. Ali’s new restaurant, Daata Restaurant, was one of the first Pakistani restaurants in Laval, QC.
