Our story

Three reasons downtown picks Shawarma Xpress

01

A halal shawarma counter in the heart of downtown Winnipeg

Shawarma Xpress is built for quick service in the city centre. From our food court counter in CityPlace, connected to the downtown skywalk, we feed office workers, downtown residents, shoppers and University of Winnipeg students looking for a fast, satisfying lunch or early dinner. As a local, independent shawarma restaurant, we are a better-value alternative to chain fast food near Portage Avenue, the Exchange District, the RBC Convention Centre and Canada Life Centre.

02

Made-to-order shawarma wraps, donair plates and falafel

Our halal shawarma menu centres on the Chicken Shawarma Wrap, the Beef Donair Shawarma Wrap and a Falafel Wrap for vegetarians, alongside Shawarma Plates with rice, salad and grilled meat, the Donair Plate and our popular Chicken Momo dumplings. Add hummus, extra garlic sauce, tahini or a fresh salad, or make it a combo meal. Every order is made fresh, and the halal directory Zabihah lists our wraps, platters and calzones as fully halal.

03

Quick lunches, late nights and catering for Winnipeg

Grab a quick shawarma lunch between meetings, order an office team lunch, stop in during weekend shopping downtown or pick up dinner before a game at Canada Life Centre or an evening at The Forks. We serve Winnipeg by dine-in, takeout, delivery and catering trays for events and meetings. We are open Monday to Thursday 10 AM–11 PM, Friday 10 AM–2 AM, Saturday 2 PM–2 AM and Sunday 2 PM–8 PM. Call (204) 998-7736 or find us at CityPlace.
