www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, June 24, 2016 | 12 n i s s e n i Bus Oakville Renovations are in the air at AromA Kitchens & Baths By Katelyn Dingman Remodeling your home is often a challenging task. With so many design options, retailers and contractors from which to choose, the remodeling process can become overwhelming. As a one-stop-shop for all of your home renovation needs, staff at AromA Kitchens & Baths help clients complete their renovation from start to finish. Customers have access to nearly 7,000 square-feet of showroom dedicated to bathroom and kitchen accessories, including cabinetry, tiles, bathtubs, toilets, sinks and faucets "We noticed that people, especially in the Oakville community, wanted to be able to come to one place and purchase everything rather than going to 10 different locations," owner Preety Mistry said. AromA Kitchens & Baths staff work closely with customers, designing their dream space and assisting them with product selection, including elegant designs that are functional and appealing, and mid- to low-end designs for individuals that simply want to finish their space for a quick sale or for rental purposes. In addition to providing service to Ontario customers, AromA Kitchens & Baths Inc. staff also work closely with custom home-builders in Oakville. Mistry and her husband Hetal are armed with more than 20 years of bathroom and kitchen design experience. Hetal, with a background in architecture, and Mistry, with several years of interior design experience, made the decision to branch off on their own four years ago, creating AromA Kitchens & Baths Inc. Starting solely as a bath and kitchen company, the couple decided to expand their business last year, renovating the design centre from 3,000 square- feet to more than 6,000 square-feet. and providing customers with entire home renovation options. AromA Kitchens & Baths' highly qualified team of professionals includes several designers and contractors that provide service throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

Bringing the taste of the Mediterranean to Oakville By Katelyn Dingman After living in the Mediterranean for three years, longtime Oakville Montfort restaurant owner Rebecca Shoufany recently brought the taste of home back with her. "I left the country (Israel) when I was eight-years old so I thought it would be really nice to go back and learn about the culture and the food," Shoufany said. Revamping the menu just in time for summer, Shoufany, who has owned the original Oakville Monfort Mediterranean Cuisine location since 1992, has introduced a variety of new Mediterranean inspired dishes. Her inspired palate motivated the owner to introduce new menu items after visiting several cobblestone Mediterranean restaurants along the beaches in Akko, Haifa and other towns. "Everything is fresh. They don't use any preservatives. The meats are incredible," Shoufany said. And now Montfort staff is serving delectable meats in what has been coined the Deluxe Mixed Grill. Shoufany noted that the dish features a variety of different meats, including lamb and pork soulvaki, chicken shawarma, Montfort chicken, kafta and lamb chops, marinated to perfection and accompanied with your choice of baba ganoush or hummus, a fresh salad and a choice of home fries, french fries or rice. This dish also comes with Montfort's famous creamy garlic and curried onion sauces. Shoufany also recently introduced Kibbeh, a traditional Palestinian dish that is typically served fried. Provided to the restaurant by a close family member, Kibbeh comprises spiced beef and sautéed onions in a shell that is deepfried and served with fresh tzatziki, hummus and a fresh salad. "The Kibbeh is to die for," Shoufany said. She noted that the restaurant's chef has been creating amazing food there for 10 years along with the prep cook who has been at Oakville Montort for 15 years. Shoufany's daughter Dalal has also adopted her mother's passion for Mediterranean food, graduating from George Brown College Chef School recently and coming to work with her mother at Montfort. In addition to a revamped Mediterranean menu, the Oakville Montfort's décor is Mediterranean inspired, with what Shoufany describes as beautiful, vibrant, happy colours with fresh flowers on display throughout. "We also have a beautiful patio," she said, noting that she recently added two televisions to the interior so that customers can watch sports while they eat. Open weekdays from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. and weekends from 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. Montfort is located at 376 Iroquois Shore Rd. Oakville.
