“I’ve never had anything like this before — it’s so fresh, modern, and still packed with real South Asian flavour. The way they’ve fusioned everything is honestly genius. You can taste the tandoori, but it’s lighter, quicker, and just hits different. And their sauces... I won't say much, just come try it out trust me.
/ˈjē/
noun
A term of respect in South Asian languages, used to convey warmth, honor, or familiarity. Commonly placed after a name or used independently.
Example: “Ji, what can I get you today?”
how did ji come to be?
South Asian food’s always been a hit in Canada — but let’s be real, it’s usually heavy, greasy, and takes forever.
Ji was started by a young entrepreneur who grew up loving the flavours but wanting something lighter, quicker, and more modern.
The idea? Keep the strong tandoori bases and bold spice, but skip the extra oil, cream, and wait time.
We reimagined the classics into something you can crush on a lunch break or grab between breaks — no food coma, no compromise.
Everything is made fresh, with signature sauces, real ingredients, and South Asian soul — served with Canadian speed, style, and inspiration.
Stay Social, Ji!
