I don't understand how this place got amazing reviews. It was disappointing. I ordered the Shish and Lamb platter and I definitey did not enjoy it. Waited so long for the food even though we were the only ones there. The lamb was so dry and hard. Definitely way overcooked. The hummus wasn't very good either. The garlic sauce was so bland, and the red paste all over the flat bread was so bitter and salty. Maybe it was an off day but I don't think I'll ever go back. I've had really good middle Eastern food before and this one isn't it.

I’ll be honest, I used to love food here but recently the portions got smaller and the packaging is not suitable for takeaway at all specially the fries with those open small cups inside the plastic bag? And compared to the price for a takeout meal that was a smaller portion than what we used to have here. The donair temperature was warm to cold and not hot as usual and the customer service needs more attention in this regard when we asked them to make sure the donair is hot enough and they insisted it was hot! Quality controlling of food is major for any business especially during expanding to more than one location. All the best guys.

Great food. Friendly staff. Had the Arabic Shwarma but forgot to take a picture. We shared our meal and it was enough. Not fancy but clean. Washroom was a little dingy but didnt really affect our enjoyment. Prices were reasonable.

We went there for a quick dinner. Very tasty beef donairs with a perfect thin wrap. Tabbouleh salad and Falafel balls were also very good. Service was good, the only thing I would note is the cleanliness of the place. It needs to be better.

For some reason today there is not even a single item we liked. Starting the wrap bread was way thick, beef felt like so so dry, there was heavy sauce though but felt nothing. Not sure why suddenly today felt so bad in tasting, felt ate tasteless wrap.

Just ate there and was very grossed out.Washroom was filthy when I went to wash my hands,Chicken shawarma was dry and tasteless, garlic sauce had little flavour and to top it all off my daughter's shawarma has a long hair in it ???? I couldn't finish my food after this. Neither my husband or daughter. Honestly, I feel like puking atm.This spot used to be one of my favs not anymore.

Quick filling meal. Decent prices. Lots of tables available but they are small. Tasty rice and chicken, lettuce was wilting, dessert was flaky, some extra foods and candy for sale at front of store. Sells Turkish Delight.

Pricey but good!The chicken and donair were kind of dry but I liked the garlic sauce and portion size they offer though.I couldn't really taste the arabic spices in the meat, it was like a hint that it existed.I paid approx $17 for a mixed shawarma + diet coke, just to put it into perspective of the expense you incur at this place.Personally I think its a little pricey for their shwarma wraps.

Easily top 3 shawarma spots in all of Winnipeg. Their platters, shawarmas and fries are one of the best in town! Used to go everyday when I worked nearby, just wished it was closer to the south of Winnipeg!

We were visiting from Toronto and decided to grab a quick bite before our flight. This was hands-down the best shawarma wrap I have ever had. Great portion, fresh wrap and a perfectly made garlic sauce.
