I have been coming to this restaurant since it first opened, about 15 years ago, and I've loved it the same then and now. The food is all house made including the pitas, which you won't find anywhere else in Winnipeg. The chicken and beef are always hot on the spit and the falafel is one of my favorites. Something I've recently started eating there that isn't on the menu is a loaded pita pie, next time you're there give it a try. They also have a few excellent options for vegans as well.
The staff are very friendly, although usually really busy, and the place is very inviting. The prices are very competitive, especially considering the quality.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try some authentic Lebanese shawarma or other middle Eastern style cuisine. Good eats!
Nothing beats their chicken shawarma. The sauce is the best! Worth the drive down Main and they make their own pitas. Busy place! Crazy not to drive there.
Delicious food, I love their garlic sauce! Awesome flavor! Busy place but fast to serve food. Lots of customers come and go like for every minute. Friendly staff is a plus (gave my niece free baklava) We will definitely go back!
This place is a go-to. Consistently amazing, everything on the menu is top notch. Great people in this family owned business. Make their own pitas, sauces and more in house. If you haven't tried it, not sure what you're waiting for, if you have, smart!
I've been dying to try this place forever as the reviews are so impressive and I can't believe I waited so long. I had a very difficult time trying to decide what to have and I ended up with the chicken shwarma platter. It was outstanding and delicious and huge! It was a two meal portion for me. The line moves really fast and the staff are super friendly. I can't wait to go back and try more menu items!
One of my go to spots. Big portions, fair price and delicious. I can never decide between their platters or pitas. Their tabbouleh is fresh and flavorful. The real game changer for me is the garlic sauce and hot sauce, I get extra, can never have enough. Great for takeout.
No matter where I am I will always come back here. Quality food. Decent prices (seriously Reasonable for the portions you get which are large ). Genuine people. It’s worth the trip, no matter where you are in the city. The food is amazing.... I can’t express it enough.... amazing!
This food is always excellent but you can’t always get a table to sit (lunch). Worth it to eat from the car though. Sauces on point ! Excellent
Amazing chicken shawarma! Both their garlic and spicy sauces are super addictive. Also the rice is fantastic! I can’t think of anything I’ve ever NOT enjoyed at this place. Definitely a must try!
Nice place on Main. Went here for a shawarma and it was pretty good! Fast service and a nice atmosphere as well. The shawarma was a bit drier than I'd like, I should've asked for extra of that garlic sauce everyone raves about!
Mmmm! This place was recommended and it didn’t disappoint!
If you arrive during lunch, plan to wait in line (it’s a good sign) and know what you want to order!
I opted for the chicken shawarma, with extra garlic sauce. It was awesome! The pita wrap was fresh and incredibly tasty.
Their pita pockets are big (see photo for reference), at a good price, and most importantly, delicious. I tried every filling of their fatire and they are all great, soft and pillowy too. Their baklavas are the best I have had. Everytime I am in the neighborhood I stop by to pick up something. Friendly service too.
I LOVE BARAKA!! I got the chicken platter and the beef platter and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! The portion was huge! I had so much left overs, but that’s not even the best part! You can really feel the family essence of the restaurant. Made me feel really warm inside. It is obvious that the workers care about each other and the family heritage :) Will definitely come back to taste more menu items 😋😋
I could not end our fantastic evening without giving thanks to Baraka Pita Bakery. We were throwing our first school community BBQ in 3 years, every year we offer a vegetarian option. This year we wanted to try something new...so we decided to offer falafel. We were not disappointed! They ended up making a very large order for us within 24 hours of the request, the falafels were so big and flavourful. Everyone asked where we had gotten them from(prior to serving) as soon as I said Baraka's, so many people smiled and offered up their favorite dish suggestions. The customer service was awesome, and they were so kind. I will definetly bring my family in, and they will be our go to for our large events. Thank you again for your kindness. Lord Nelson School wishes you continued success.
Fantastic Shawarma and Bakery!!!!!
I been going here for over 8 years now and truly the best Mideastern restaurant in Winnipeg absolutely fresh.
thankful Baraka exists !!! my favorites in the city I don't live close but its always worth the drive.
Sincerely.
Definitely my favourite place to get chicken Shawarma wraps. The delicious flavour comes from a perfect combination of everything inside the wrap, as well as the quality of it all.
Can get busy during peak hours, but it's never too bad
Been coming for close to 10 years!!!
Baraka NEVER disappoints. Sure, the prices have gone up over the years; but it’s still amazing food, and the price is worth it every single time.
The Beef Donair with extra garlic and extra hot sauce has been my favourite thing to order, but you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu.
Bought takeout for six of us. Great Lebanese food! I had a chicken shawarma wrap, wow was it loaded with flavour and lots of chicken! Excellent! Friendly, busy staff were a pleasure to do business, with and it was my first visit!
