Quick filling meal. Decent prices. Lots of tables available but they are small. Tasty rice and chicken, lettuce was wilting, dessert was flaky, some extra foods and candy for sale at front of store. Sells Turkish Delight.

Great place for shawarma and other middle eastern dishes. Prices and portions are fair, food was freshly made. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back to try other dishes. Also ask for the hot sauce, has a good kick to it.

Every time I go they are amazing only today they decided to give me burnt shawarma after I drove there for 1 hour to eat from there. I could not even eat it the much bitter it was from the burn. I will not go there for a period of time for sure but I hope the manager or someone sees my comment because I am someone who always get shawarma from there and I have decided not to go there for a while
Imagine if it was someone new.

Great food. Friendly staff. Had the Arabic Shwarma but forgot to take a picture. We shared our meal and it was enough. Not fancy but clean. Washroom was a little dingy but didnt really affect our enjoyment. Prices were reasonable.

We went there for a quick dinner. Very tasty beef donairs with a perfect thin wrap. Tabbouleh salad and Falafel balls were also very good. Service was good, the only thing I would note is the cleanliness of the place. It needs to be better.

For some reason today there is not even a single item we liked. Starting the wrap bread was way thick, beef felt like so so dry, there was heavy sauce though but felt nothing. Not sure why suddenly today felt so bad in tasting, felt ate tasteless wrap.

Summary:
Pros: Good Food, Courteous staff and attractive ambiance.
Cons: Value of money is questionable. Fries needs extensive improvement.
So today we decided to try the middle eastern restaurant in town. The weather was pretty nice and the parking outside was full so for a minute i was like perhaps it’s not a good idea but when we walked in, it was not packed. Once you enter, you can pick the menu before seating down. Once done with the menu, you order there and pay upfront. The guy on the counter is pretty courteous and will call the name of the item and you can pick it up from the counter.
The shawarma was great, sauce was even better but fries were a total turn off.
If someone from Les Saj is reading this, do something about it. The fries were thick and probably frozen when they were fried in hot oil. The outlook was nice but they still needed time for the inside to be better and cooked.
All in all, it was a good experience. If you haven’t been there yet, give it a shot.

Just ate there and was very grossed out.
Washroom was filthy when I went to wash my hands,
Chicken shawarma was dry and tasteless, garlic sauce had little flavour and to top it all off my daughter's shawarma has a long hair in it 🤢🤢🤢🤢 I couldn't finish my food after this. Neither my husband or daughter. Honestly, I feel like puking atm.
This spot used to be one of my favs not anymore.

My wife and I went to Les Saj for the first time today. I must say, I was very impressed. Best Sharmwa I have eaten in Winnipeg. I’ve been to a few hot spots before and have not been impressed. I was here, and it all started with the quality of the meat. I had the mixed donair , I recommend for any meat lover like myself, my wife got the chicken shawarma, both were excellent. The gentleman who I assume was the owner was very courteous as was rest of staff and we were served promptly. Establishment was very clean and everything tasted homemade and fresh. Definitely would recommend and will be back to try other items and a mixed donair ;-)<br/>

Arabic shawarma was authentic with very good bread, excellent chicken, complete with pickles and garlic sauce. Fatoush was quite lacking but alright if you think of it as a tossed salad with Arabic croutons. Fries were great, and service was very friendly!

Had the beef donnair plate. 1st served cold. I mean cold! Second time hot. Beef way too peppered. Pepper is all you can taste shaved super thin to give the illusion of a bigger portion.<br/>Fries were the reconstituted coated garbage served by kfc. Paid the 35 buz for two and will never be back. Was 6.15 and only 1 other couple in the place. Cant see it surviving with places like baraka and halifax donnair a few months from coming to town.

Very nice shawarma. Worth checking out. <br/>Prices are reasonable and a family of four can have a nice evening out.<br/>Very pleasant and friendly staff.

I ordered take out of the lamb kabob with rice and fatoush salad that comes with a flat bread with I believe a red pepper oil on it. I love lamb and pretty sure this was just ground beef. A bit too much salt but very flavorful and I'm sure this is not a consistent thing. The rest was great as well. I would have preferred the salad to be a bit more and in the separate side of the container instead of the garlic sauce as there was a lot. Picked were good and wished for more turnip pickles. People were extremely friendly and pleasant. Will definitely come back!

Ate here last night with my date. Got the mixed platter to share and was not disappointed.Lots of food for 2 people.The beef shwarma was incredible,juicy and flavorful.Definatly my favorite in the platter.The chicken skewer was really good to.The chicken shwarma was a little dry but the spices were good,and it was late at night so the shwarma rotisserie had been cooking all day.The only thing I wasn't really impressed with was the lamb kebab.It was very dry and cold and seemed to be precooked.The service was casual but decent. Saw the table next to us complain about the hookah smoke from a other patron,that was pretty funny as we are accustomed to places that do hookah,although we do not partake it does not bother us as long as the establishment has proper ventilation.Would go back soon but probably just stick to beef shwarma unless it's early in the day.

Great food in the St James area of Winnipeg. Friendly staff, good variety. Owner was very friendly, came and asked us personally how the food was. Can’t wait to go back. Delicious food spot.

Great food, clean restaurant, employees are very friendly. They explained everything and let us sample food before we decided what we wanted. A little pricey but overall very good. Highly recommend the lamb kabob.
Chris Holmes
Food is good, but they don’t ask you what you want on it, so you get all the toppings whether you want them or not. Other than that they are quick and somewhat accurate with orders.

Finally got to visit this place last Saturday. Walked in around 1pm. Ordered the Beef Donair, but they advised it was sold out. So that was disappointing. So I got the Beef Shawarma instead and my son ordered the Shish Tawouk platter. <br/>I found the Shawarma was way too saucy, so the next time I'd probably ask for the sauce on the side. My son's platter was outstanding though. The staff were super friendly and the food came out pretty quick. Will definitely give this place a try again.

We just had dinner at Les Saj tonight. I had Falafel and my boyfriend had the beef donair. Everything was very tasty! The staff are so incredibly welcoming and kind. We will definitely be back.

Excellent service<br/>Food is fantastic! Really tasty altho small portion.<br/>The only thing i dont like is their exhaust. You will smell like a trapped smoke when you leave. <br/><br/>Over all I do appreciate this kind of business. :)

This is my second time here . The food is good - not bad but not great either - just good . Portion sizes are a bit smaller compared to other places for the price . Friendly staff . Not a fan of the garlic sauce though - it's a bit sour and not as good as Barakas.

Stopped in for lunch one afternoon around 2pm and the place was almost empty. The chicken shawarma and Turkish coffee were amazing! Everything seemed very fresh and the service was fantastic! I will definitely be back!

I'm a fan of greasy spoon places, but this restaurant takes it to a new level. When you think donairs, I primarily think of fresh veg with some delicious donair meat. The beef donair at this restaurant offered neither. The saj style of cooking seems unique, but is not enough for me to try their other dishes. It is too bad as the staff were amazing, and were very helpful. But I guess it's telling when a restaurant is empty on a Friday evening. Save yourself the trouble and check out the other handful of Middle Eastern restaurants in Winnipeg

I've had the food here a few times since Les saj open, I'm here to tell you that it's my favourite middle eastern food in the city. Hot and fresh schwarma and the zataar is to die for. <br/><br/>Very friendly staff

Delicious, fresh food and a friendly casual atmosphere. Shawarma wrap is delicious, and the food presentation is very nice. Everything is very fresh, made to order and authentic
