Marinated halal beef, slow-roasted on the spit and shaved to order — our beef shawarma wrap delivers deep, savoury Middle Eastern flavour in every bite. Finished with tahini sauce, fresh vegetables and pickles in a warm pita, it is a St. Vital favourite for lunch, dinner and late-night cravings.
Great beef shawarma starts with the marinade. At Al Taj - Shawarma and Grill we season halal beef with a traditional blend of warm spices, then stack it on the vertical rotisserie where it roasts slowly in its own juices. Carving thin slices to order keeps the meat tender and full of that unmistakable roasted shawarma flavour.
Each wrap comes rolled in soft pita with nutty tahini sauce, tomatoes, onions, parsley and pickled turnips. Like everything on our menu, you choose the sauces and toppings, so your wrap is exactly the way you like it. Add fries or hummus on the side to make it a full meal.
Finding authentic halal beef shawarma near St. Vital Centre is easy — we are directly across from the mall at 160 Meadowood Drive. Locals from Meadowood, Dakota and River Park South count on Al Taj for generous, freshly made beef shawarma at a fair price.
Walk in and order at the counter, call (204) 306-0470 for pickup, or use our online ordering to skip the wait. Open late every night of the week.

"The beef shawarma is seasoned perfectly and never dry. You can tell it's carved fresh — this is real shawarma, not the frozen stuff."
