Summer BBQ & Picnic in Canada

Okay, be honest—have you ever stood at a summer BBQ, plate in hand, and thought… Does this need a serious flavour upgrade?

Yeah, we’ve all been there.

That’s where Tezmart comes in. Born from the rich culinary traditions of South Asia, we’re your go-to online grocery store in Canada, stocked with everything from sizzling BBQ meats to juicy mango drinks, buttery-soft naan, and tongue-tingling spices.

So whether you’re grilling in the backyard or picnicking lakeside, this guide is your one-stop flavour bomb.

Let’s unpack Tezmart’s must-haves for the ultimate summer BBQ and picnic party.

Make your BBQ's a Hit with Tezmart

Sizzling Hot BBQ Meats

Let’s kick it off with the main event: wholesome and flavorful BBQ meats. We’re not talking about bland hot dogs—we mean spice-loaded, pre-marinated BBQ items that smell like summer the second they hit the grill. You just have to take them out of the freezer and let them cook over a microwave or a pan. They’re ready in minutes. Each piece is soaked in traditional flavours that transport you straight to a backyard in Karachi or Lahore.

Here’s what you can expect:

Pre-marinated frozen chicken tikka that brings the heat.
Smoky, juicy, frozen Seekh kebabs are ready to hit the grill.
Flavour-packed chicken skewers are straight from the desi playbook.

Want more than meat? We’ve got vegetarian and BBQ-friendly options, too. Browse the full BBQ collection here.

Spices That Bring the Heat

You could have the juiciest meat on the grill without the right spices. It’s just... meat. Spices are where the magic happens. Ours are handpicked from iconic South Asian producers and packed with the intensity that makes your taste buds do a double take.

Stock up on essentials like

Tandoori masala for that smoky orange glow.
Chaat masala to sprinkle on grilled corn (trust us—life-changing).
Classic BBQ spice rubs with desi flair.

Frozen Naan

This isn’t your average flatbread—it’s naan with personality. Soft, pillowy, slightly chewy, and baked with a whisper of char, it’s the perfect match for anything grilled. Whether you're wrapping kebabs, mopping up sauces, or using it to build next-level sandwiches—naan is your new MVP.

Tezmart’s lineup includes:

Soft garlic naan that can be enjoyed it self or with curries.
Traditional tandoori naan, perfect to scoop up with curries and kebabs.
You can find different Oven baked naan varieties also.

Lychee nectar (aka summer in a bottle).
Guava punch is sweet, tangy, and picnic-perfect.

Creamy, Dreamy Ice Creams

A good sauce doesn’t just add flavour—it amplifies it. These aren’t your store-brand dips. These are zesty, garlicky, spicy drizzles that turn every bite into an adventure. Toss 'em on wraps, kebabs, grilled veggies—you name it.
