Delicious new campus diner hidden in LinX

Titas's Forn opened in LinX Lounge, offering a wide variety of meals, including vegan, gluten-free options.

A new food place opened up in the LinX Lounge that caters to all different diets. 

Titas's Forn is a family-owned restaurant that has recently opened up at Humber Polytechnic North campus. 

"It's a family business," said Paul Iskander, director of ancillary services at Humber. "It's like a father, a mother, a daughter, and a son, and I like the family more than the corporate."

They serve a wide variety of food options for everyone's food needs, but no one's here because it's hidden in Linx Lounge, and not a lot of people go there, or no one knows that it's there.

The food options include chicken shawarma, chicken souvlaki, sandwiches, salads, veggie chow main, lentil soup, veggie burger and steak. And they have vegan and gluten-free options available.

"That's one of the major points that you guys choose when you choose a restaurant, but in the school, then make sure it can cater to everybody," Iskander said.

For instance, they want to make sure they don’t take away from other businesses by making sure everything that is being offered at Humber has a chance to succeed at Humber Polytechnic. 

"So, for example, he can't serve pizza because we have pizza pizza," Iskander said. "He can't serve Mexican because we already have a Mexican place. He can do bubble tea, for example, because we have a bubble tea place." 

Architecture technology student Rose Akbas said she discovered the diner when she went to LinX to shoot pool.

"I got a chicken shawarma," she said. "It was really good. I liked it a lot." 

Abdula Saeed and Syed Ahmed, both Mechatronics engineering students, have been coming to LinX Lounge since the beginning of the semester to hang out, shoot pool and play table tennis with their buddies, and they have seen restaurants being switched out. 

When they saw Titas, they knew they had to try it, and both decided to order the chicken fajitas.
