Craving a real donair? Al Taj - Shawarma and Grill serves halal donair meat shaved hot off the spit, wrapped in a warm pita or piled on a loaded platter with rice and salad. Topped with that signature sweet donair sauce, onions and tomatoes, it is comfort food done right in St. Vital.
The donair is a Canadian legend with Middle Eastern roots, and we honour both sides of that story. Our spiced halal donair meat roasts slowly on a vertical rotisserie, developing crispy edges and a juicy centre. We shave it thin to order and finish it with the classic sweet donair sauce, fresh onions and tomatoes.
Choose the hand-held wrap for a quick bite, or go for the donair platter with seasoned rice, fresh salad and your choice of sauces when you are extra hungry. Either way, portions at Al Taj are famously generous.
The wrap is perfect on the go; the platter turns donair into a full sit-down meal with rice, salad and sides like hummus or fries. Both are made fresh when you order and can be customized with your favourite toppings and spice level.
Visit us across from St. Vital Centre at 160 Meadowood Drive, call ahead, or order online for quick pickup. We serve donair late into the night, every night.

"Best donair I've had in Winnipeg, hands down. The meat is crispy on the edges and the sweet sauce is spot on. The platter is enough for two meals."
