The Story of Grillades Torino: A Halal Culinary Journey
Grillades Torino began in 1997 when Charbel Assaad, then running a fried chicken joint, joined forces with Khalil to create a groundbreaking concept: healthier, flame-grilled meals that anyone could enjoy. Their vision revolved around serving chicken, beef, and sausages grilled to perfection, with one defining commitment — all dishes would be 100% halal. This inclusive approach allowed people from all backgrounds and cultures to savor “fast good” food that combined quality, flavor, and speed.
The first Grillades Torino branch opened in Montreal’s Aile de la Mode shopping center. The concept’s popularity soared, fueled by the unique combination of fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and the cultural inclusivity of halal dining. Within six years, Grillades Torino had expanded to 10 branches. Today, the brand boasts 31 locations across Canada, with ambitious plans to continue its growth nationwide and into the United States.
What sets Grillades Torino apart is its unwavering dedication to quality and inclusivity. Each meal reflects a balance of traditional grilling techniques and modern convenience, offering customers fast, delicious, and wholesome food that meets diverse dietary preferences. Grillades Torino is not just a franchise — it’s a celebration of flavorful, inclusive dining.
