PASAJ is temporarily closed
Dear Friends,
It is with profound sadness that we share the news of a devastating fire at PASAJ that occurred on October 13, 2025, at 1:00 AM. The fire has completely destroyed our kitchen, rendering our restaurant inoperable. As a result, we are temporarily closed until further notice.
PASAJ is our heart and soul, our baby, our everything and this loss has left us heartbroken and in shock. We are still processing this tragedy and working to assess the full extent of the damage. At this early stage, we are uncertain about our next steps, but we are committed to keeping you informed as we navigate this challenging time.
We are deeply grateful that no one was injured in the fire, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to the firefighters and first responders who worked tirelessly to contain the situation.
While we face this difficult moment, we warmly invite you to visit our sister restaurant, Simit & Chai, ( 787 King Street West, 1114 Queen Street East) which remains open and operating as usual. Your continued support there means the world to us as we begin to plan the path forward.
We will provide updates on our website and social media as soon as we have more information about our reopening plans. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time. We look forward to welcoming you back when we are able.
With gratitude,
Dee & John
