Our Story
Family-owned and operated, we have been in the halal meat processing and distribution business for well over 30 years. Originally founded as a local halal butcher, our predecessor company provided halal meat, fish and groceries to the numerous small meat stores that serviced the GTA’s growing Muslim population.

About Us - Our Story
After 20 years of operating as a small butcher shop, our business transformed into a larger enterprise in response to a customer’s request to fill a void in the Halal Food Services Marketplace. The request came from a large chain restaurant that was looking for an alternative to their current supplier. They faced many issues with their current halal supplier and came to us with a list of specific requirements that would address these issues.
Given that these specific requirements were a significant departure from our existing halal meat business and would require extensive capital investment, we took the necessary time to thoroughly review whether we could satisfy these needs. After spending months researching and visiting various farms and abattoir facilities across Canada, we found a facility that could meet our client’s requirements.
Over the coming months, we and our client worked closely with the supplier to calibrate their processes and procedures to ensure that it met these stringent specifications both from a food safety perspective and a halal perspective.
It was through this experience that Amir Quality Meats was born and we gained an appreciation for the fact that there were no other Muslim-owned and operated certified halal meat suppliers servicing the food services industry with this level of customer service, attention to detail, and food safety standards. We have successfully used this customer-centric approach to build our business over the past 30 years. Serving our community brings purpose to not just our operation, but our lives.
