Welcome to Al Taj - Shawarma and Grill, a locally owned halal Middle Eastern restaurant in St. Vital, Winnipeg. Al Taj was created to bring authentic shawarma and grill favourites — prepared halal — to the St. Vital and south Winnipeg community, with marinated chicken and beef cooked fresh on vertical rotisseries every day.
Our chicken and beef shawarma wraps, donair platters and falafel sit beside signatures like the Al Taj Special Chicken Wrap, Mixed Grill platter and shawarma poutine. Each dish is prepared with traditional Middle Eastern spices, fresh toppings and your choice of sauces — with generous portions and honest prices, every time.

We get takeout from here often. The shawarma is fresh, delicious, and ready quick. Portions are very generous so there’s always enough for leftovers.
Highly recommend. We really enjoyed the chicken shawarma wrap, beef shawarma platter and falafel with hummus and garlic sauce.
Authentic Middle Eastern flavours right across from St. Vital Centre — traditional shawarma and donair alongside Canadian favourites like shawarma poutine. Excellent experience.
Our first visit was an absolute delight! Friendly service from the moment we stepped inside — and the food was bursting with flavour. Highly recommend this spot.
Authentic flavour!!! We got the Mixed Grill platter — delicious and a great amount of food. Perfect halal option for a quick, satisfying meal after shopping at the mall.
