About Us
From a shared love of authentic Middle Eastern cooking to a neighborhood favorite, our mission has always been simple: bold flavor, honest ingredients, and hospitality that feels like family.
Our Restaurant
Serving Winnipeg Authentic Shawarma
Al Taj Shawarma was built on a love for authentic Middle Eastern flavor and the craft of slow-grilled, hand-cut meat. From the first sizzle on the spit to the final wrap, every dish is made with care, tradition, and quality ingredients. We believe great food is more than a meal — it's something to be shared with family, friends, and everyone who walks through our door. Step inside and you'll feel the warmth of our kitchen and the aroma of fresh-grilled shawarma. Whether you're here for a quick wrap or a full platter, every plate reflects our commitment to flavor, quality, and genuine hospitality.
