One of my favourite places in Winnipeg. Just in 3 weeks, I've been here 3x. Not counting since they opened. Pretty much had most of their menu items. Would highly recommend to everyone. Love the atmosphere and decor. Willing to always wait for warm and fresh food. Some of their menu tends to be on the salty side, so if that's not for you just let them know! Definitely order Mhammara (my go to appetizer), and a side order of Bayd manakeesh if only cuz... you always want more bread to Dip into the Mhammara (though all their manakeesh are delicious). Same with a their desserts, I'm partial to their Knafeh and Basbousa. For drinks, the Hibiscus and Lemonade Mint tea? ... It's a Green drink on their menu... it's late and I just wanted to gush about food! And of course their Chai Karak Dallah is perfect with the sweet desserts. For the main... hmm, Koshary abd Sawani Kofta are so good... but.. everything in their menu is bomb. But ya. Enjoy. As for photos... please, after the waiting and my state each time I come here, I just want to dig in. Just visit and take better photos than me. XD

Great deal to get all day Arabic breakfast by Doordash delivery just for only 20 dollars in first order! The sage tea is so fragrant and refreshing. Helps me to re-energize and rejuvenate. The falafels are so divine. The rest of the dishes are damn excellent. I think this cafe will be more of a hit if they have all day Mediterranean buffet.

Their food was good. They served a complimentary tea. I really liked the kunafa dish. Drinks were refreshing. As people with kids also visit so i recommend to have a separate place for the hookah. So that others dont get bothered. Overall good experience. But the sound of their work was too much. Felt like they had a fight and throwing and breaking dishes. Or might be frustrated bcz of work. Other than that it was okay.

The Arabic coffee with cardamom, kunefe, and helva were absolutely delicious! Baklava was not as expected. The fans are strong enough that even as a family with a child, we weren’t bothered by the shisha smoke at all. Such a nice place!

I went with my friends to this restaurant, it is different then other Middle East restaurants ( which have almost similar dishes and taste of food). At this place you will find variety of food items from starters to main course . Service is fast, and food is very delicious . Cost of the food is also affordable, must try . I love Palestine and Palestinian food

Very cute, super delicious Arabic food restaurant. I love the colorful decoration of the place. It was small and cozy with about 10 tables. The food serving portion was generous for the price. Lots of options to choose from and the food was served fresh and quick. Between two people we ordered 4 dishes and 2 drinks. All together only costing us 50. It was a lot of food and we couldn't finish it. Definitely recommend.

This place is truly authentic and very nice. The dine-in area is spacious and inviting, and the service is warm and attentive. We were delighted to receive free soup and dessert, which were both delicious. The food is authentic and delicious. I highly recommend trying the makloubeh; it was a perfect blend of flavours and textures.
