Our chicken shawarma wrap is the dish that put Al Taj - Shawarma and Grill on the map in St. Vital. Halal chicken is marinated in Middle Eastern spices, stacked on the vertical spit and carved to order, then rolled in a warm pita with creamy garlic sauce, crunchy pickles and fresh vegetables. Grab one across from St. Vital Centre or order ahead online.
Chicken shawarma is the heart of Middle Eastern street food, and at Al Taj we prepare it the traditional way. Boneless halal chicken is marinated overnight in a house blend of spices, garlic and lemon, then slowly roasted on a vertical rotisserie so every layer stays juicy while the edges crisp up. Each wrap is carved fresh when you order — never pre-cut, never sitting under a heat lamp.
We roll the chicken in a soft pita with rich garlic sauce, pickled turnips, cucumbers and tomatoes, and you can customize every wrap with your choice of sauces, toppings and spice level. Pair it with fries, hummus or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Generous portions, fresh-carved halal chicken and quick counter service make this the go-to lunch near St. Vital Centre. Whether you are on a work break, shopping at the mall or grabbing a late-night bite in south Winnipeg, the chicken shawarma wrap is fast, filling and full of authentic flavour.
Dine in at 160 Meadowood Drive, call ahead for pickup, or order online for takeout. We are open late seven days a week, so a fresh chicken shawarma wrap is never far away.
