Ramallah Cafe — Restaurant in Winnipeg

For my experience, the place looked great on the inside and out with a very modern look. They were very clean and they had a great selection of middle eastern food.

For those doing Hookah/Shisha, They can either do Shisha in the front of the restaurant or they have a big dimly lit room with sofas perfect to chill with a friend or group of friends. The room can fit around 10 people.

I came here at around 12 midday with two friends and as we entered the place it was a bit warm to comfortably chill in with friends, but turns out we might have been the first customers of the day to dine in the restaurant so the owner had just turned on the air conditioner. The place became cozy and cooler after the air conditioner was turned on, and the experience became perfect.

They had great genuine Shawarma. The best I have tasted so far in Winnipeg. The beef Shawarma I ate was amazing. The place also served Halal chicken and beef which was a great thing since my friends would only eat Halal.

From my observation this is a very popular for their food as there were plenty of Canadians who took out food from here while I was there.

Their Hookah/Shisha experience was great and they provided individual mouth tip for each person, and they had more than 10 flavours to choose from.

I would definitely return here for their Shawarma, and their Shisha. I recommend this place for their...

My favorite is the "Saturday brunch" which has become the everyday brunch $19.99 for this brunch includes tea (you have options, black or green and they add fresh mint leaves that they grow there), 5 items (falafel, hummus, labneh, cheese plate, pickle plate) and the in house fresh made shrak bread This is a vegetarian meal. I did inquire and they do have a number of vegan options as well. Another favorite special is the whole chicken. $20 includes a whole chicken, rice (its not plain white, its flavored), hummus and garlic sauce as well as the shrak bread. The portions are very generous.

The hummus and the falafel was excellent. Everything else was good. Service was exceptionally friendly. The food type is Palestinian. The pistachio baklava was delicious as well. I'd skip the peanut butter smoothie. The strawberry Banana smoothie was better.

I like going there when its quiet. I don't prefer when people are smoking hookah. They don't have a section where you can eat without dealing with the smoke if there are smokers nearby. There are 3 sections to the restaurant now. All 3 allow hookah smoking and is it very popular. On a late Sunday night the place was packed.

Take out is an option.

Now that I've been here a few times I will say some servers are far better...

UPDATE: I recently had a negative experience with Ramallah restaurant, where I received a burned shish kabab and undercooked chicken shawarma. However, I'm happy to say that the restaurant reached out to me and offered to make things right. They delivered me new food with good quality, which was a vast improvement from my previous order. I appreciate the effort that the restaurant made to address my concerns and ensure that I had a better experience. The new food was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Now I can say “costumer satisfaction” is their top priority. Thank you Ramallah!

Today I’ve ordered shish kabab and mix shawarma and was really disappointed to receive a burned kebab, the chicken shawarma also needed more cooking! The kebab was so overcooked that it was super-dry and had a bitter taste. This was particularly disappointing as I had been looking forward to trying this dish. I understand that mistakes happen, but I hope that the restaurant will take steps to ensure that this doesn't happen to other customers in the future. Overall, I would be hesitant to order from Ramallah again based on my experience with the burned kebab and it made me so sad as I was their...
