Best Shawarma Poutine in Winnipeg

(59 reviews)

When Middle Eastern flavour meets Canadian comfort food, you get shawarma poutine — crispy golden fries piled high with fresh-carved halal shawarma, cheese and our famous garlic sauce. It is the crave-worthy fusion dish St. Vital cannot get enough of, especially on cold Winnipeg nights.

About Our Shawarma Poutine

Poutine is Canada's favourite comfort food, and we give it the Al Taj treatment. We start with a generous bed of crispy fries, layer on hot shawarma carved straight from the spit, then finish it with cheese and a drizzle of creamy garlic sauce that ties the whole dish together.

Choose chicken or beef shawarma on top, add extra sauces like tahini or hot sauce, and make it as loaded as you like. It works as an indulgent side for the table or a full meal on its own — and it is entirely halal.

Comfort Food for Winnipeg Winters

There are few better answers to a cold south Winnipeg evening than a hot box of shawarma poutine. It is a favourite late-night order, a game-night crowd-pleaser and the perfect pick-me-up after shopping at St. Vital Centre.

How to Order

Grab it in-store at 160 Meadowood Drive, call (204) 306-0470, or order online for pickup. We serve shawarma poutine right up to late-night closing, seven days a week.

What Customers Say About Our Shawarma Poutine

Matt C.

Poutine Fan

"Shawarma poutine is genius. Crispy fries, juicy chicken shawarma and that garlic sauce instead of plain gravy — I dream about this dish. Huge portion too."

St. Vital Resident

"My favourite halal comfort food in Winnipeg. Perfect after a long day, and it's big enough to share (though I usually don't)."

Late-Night Regular

"Ordered it late one night on a whim and now it's a weekly habit. Fries stay crispy under all those toppings, which never happens elsewhere."
