Ridgeway Plaza’s Ketkoot to Bring Halal Iraqi Chicken to Downtown Toronto
By Halal Food Pass Team · October 17, 2026
Ketkoot Iraqi Chargrilled Chicken, the halal chicken restaurant at Ridgeway Plaza in Mississauga, is reportedly planning its first downtown Toronto location in the Yonge and Dundas area.
The planned expansion would bring Ketkoot’s Iraqi-style chicken to diners in Toronto’s downtown core. As of October 17, 2026, an exact street address and opening date have not been verified for this article.
Its menu centres on chargrilled chicken, with individual meals, pulled-chicken wraps, sliders and larger sharing orders.
The restaurant is part of the food scene covered in our Ridgeway Plaza halal restaurant directory. A downtown location would give people who live, work or study in central Toronto another way to try Ketkoot without travelling to Mississauga.
Where is Ketkoot opening in Toronto?
The planned restaurant is reportedly coming to the Yonge and Dundas area of downtown Toronto.
A specific street number has not been verified for this article. The Toronto location’s opening date and service hours also remain unconfirmed, so diners should check the restaurant’s official announcements before planning a visit.
What is on Ketkoot’s menu?
According to Ketkoot’s official menu, its chicken is marinated for 36 hours before grilling, with hot and mild options available.
The existing Mississauga menu includes:
Chargrilled chicken boxes: Chicken portions served with rice, seasoned fries and sauces.
Musahab wraps: Pulled chargrilled chicken with garlic sauce and pickles in pita.
Pulled-chicken sliders: Chicken served in small buns, with options for individual meals and sharing boxes.
Jumbo wings and family meals: Larger combinations of chicken, sliders, wings and sides.
These dishes describe the current Mississauga offering. The Toronto branch’s final menu and prices have not been confirmed for this article.
Is Ketkoot halal?
Ketkoot’s official website states that its chicken is 100% halal and hand-slaughtered using the zabiha method. The restaurant also says its existing kitchen contains no pork, lard or alcohol.
Halal Food Pass’s Ridgeway Plaza listing separately records halal confirmation through direct contact with the restaurant.
That record applies to the existing Mississauga branch. Details specific to the upcoming Toronto location, including its sourcing and preparation, should be confirmed with the restaurant when available.
Halal Food Pass editorial view
Our take: Ketkoot’s planned downtown expansion is worth watching because it could introduce more Toronto diners to the Iraqi food scene found at Ridgeway Plaza.
Its focus on chargrilled chicken, Musahab wraps and pulled-chicken sliders gives the restaurant a recognisable identity. A location around Yonge and Dundas could make that menu more accessible to students, office workers and visitors who rarely travel to Mississauga.
For halal diners, the details that will matter most are clear halal information, consistent preparation and value for money. The Toronto menu, pricing and service will determine how well the concept translates to its new neighbourhood.
We see this as a promising opening to follow. The opportunity is to bring a distinctive Ridgeway Plaza restaurant to a wider audience and give downtown diners another Iraqi food option to explore.
This is an editorial assessment of the planned expansion. Halal Food Pass has not reviewed the Toronto location.
