Quick, healthy filling meal. The Wrath of Khan is my favourite (especially with the sliced up pickled pink things). The salads are great. Keep up the great work!
Went to Shwarma Khan twice for lunch while visiting Winnipeg. The service was friendly and prompt and the chicken shawarma plate and wrap were delicious (two separate meals). The pita chips on the plate were really good, as was the beet salad. Really good value.
Sooooooo good, super friendly staff, really accommodating and helpful since we were new to the menu. Good portion. Good real good. Got a falafel plate and they made the falafel fresh. Can't wait to go back, one of my new favourite places. Nice change for once.
Been meaning to try this place for a while now and am I happy I did. Great place to grab a quick bite or even take your meal to go. I got the Beef and Lamb plate, the plates give you a lot more so you get to try a little bit of everything! The rice is enjoyable and not super heavy. The meat is flavourful, but not moist or juicy and a bit more on the dry side. I chose the Tabbouleh salad (parsley, bulgur wheat, red onions, cucumbers, tomatoes and spices), along with the beet and apple salad, a unique combination but works well. The hummus and tahini sauce were both delicious, very flavourful! The potatoes were lightly seasoned which was great, because everything else is full of flavour. My only complaint is that my food was barely warm and I ate it like 32 seconds after I got it. I for sure enjoy my food more when it's hot. Also, the hot sauce wasn't actually hot, so that was a bit disappointing, but other than that this is a great place! Staff is super friendly, it's in a great area of the city and of course the food is good! You just might want gum for after, cause the garlic tends to stay in your mouth.
Good quick food. Falafel patties are very tasty. Shawarma and falafels can be made into platters or pitas. The tahini and garlic sauce portions are generous and extra delicious when slathered on your whole meal. We like the salads as well, especially the tabbouleh.
Unreal tasty and authentic. Meat is juicy, toppings are delicious, guys are sweet and friendly. Definitely recommended eating in the Exchange.
Really good food!! So glad i tried it, i have been dying to go back again!! I would recommend this place to anyone :)
I enjoyed their side salads.
Favorite place to eat hands down. The fact that all the sauces and meats are prepared from scratch and that they toast the shwarma before they serve it puts them miles above the competition.
I've had shawarmas from basically everywhere you possibly can in the city. Although Baraka is a close second, Shawarma Khan is the best. They get the edge as their additional toppings that you can add to the shawarma take it to a whole new level. They have several salads. beans/chickpeas and tortilla chips that you can add and I would highly recommend you do so. Sadly, you can't get these additional toppings at the Bomber games so their shawarmas at IGF are nowhere near as good. The shawarma itself is probably better at Baraka on Main, but the additional toppings Shawarma Khan offers makes it my favourite shawarma in the city.
I was craving for a different kind of dessert after a heavy lunch somewhere at the Exchange District and happened to just walk in at Shawarma Khan. I never thought they serve dessert at this place. It was one of the best home made Baklava I've ever tasted.Be back to try their shawarma's.
Super yummy! We get Shawarma Khan from Skip the Dishes fairly often and it's always so good. The garlic sauce is delicious, the chickpea salad is fresh with cucumber, tomatoes and onion, and the pita chips are crispy, flavorful, but sometimes over- salted.
So tasty...so...soooo tasty.. I went right at noon, peak of the lunch hour, and sure enough there was a line of probably 10-12 people ahead of me, but the shawarma pros got me through within about 10-15 minutes and still had 15-20 minutes left on my parking to sit and enjoy it. I ordered a regular (they also offer a large size) chicken shawarma wrap, with all the fixins and you know that moment when you get exactly what you're craving....it's just about euphoric. That's what happened. And the added slight crunch of the panini pressed wrap...oh man...like something out of a movie. And all for what..like, $6? That's what I'm talking about....
Yup...i'll be back.
Shawarma Khan has ruined all other falafels. I finally made my way to Shawarma Khan today. I wasn't expecting much, as most of these kinds of places (in my opinion) really focus on making the meats taste good, but come up with a generic falafel to appease the non-meat eaters. That was so far from the case here.
I really went in expecting not to like it (should have known better, given that the place was PACKED). As I watched what looked like a very small portion of falafel being crumbled onto my wrap, I wondered if it would be filling enough. I needn't have worried. The wrap was large, and literally bursting with flavor. The falafel was really tasty, the sauces were delicious, the pickled jalapenos and banana peppers added just the right kick. I had the hot sauce, but I didn't notice it specifically and it definitely wasn't so hot it was fiery. The real star, though, in my opinion was the pickled turnips. I am not a turnip fan. I actually despise them, but I can get on board with anything pickled, so decided to take a chance. The depth of flavor in these was so incredible. Yes, it was a pickle, but it had a savoury, rich and salty flavor that I've never had in a pickle before. I have to assume that comes from the flavor of the turnip itself, which has me wondering if I have given turnips a fair shake.
Needless to say, I loved it (and can we talk about those pita chips?? Thank goodness I heard the man in line before me order, or else I never would have thought to get them...they alone are worth the trip...which is a little far in the cold, but definitely walkable once the spring weather decides what its doing). My one beef, if I had to have one, was that the act of grilling the wrap caused the foil wrapper to stick to the pita, so I had to pick off little bits of foil while eating my meal, but that's a small price to pay. Oh, and speaking of price, it's a little on the high side for fast food, but the quality, freshness and over-all amazing flavor make it worth-while.
Just writing this review is making me hungry for more, so it definitely won't be long before I'm back!
Bigger than my head. I stumbled into shawarma Khan this afternoon after googling for the nearest joint to my hotel. I'd been up since 3am and it was about 1230, hasn't really eaten, and I honestly wasn't coherent. The guys behind the counter were courteous and friendly, hooked me up with a killer beef+lamb wrap, complete with ludicrously purple picked radishes, and this thing was bigger than my head. It has given my back my soul today, and I needed to share the glory with everyone else. give this place a shot, it's pretty damn good 5/5 would feast upon again
Decent prices for a good meal. Shawarma Khan is fast, easy, and fresh in the downtown area. While I'm never going to choose shawarma over sushi just by personal preference, I can still appreciate the freshness this place puts out. It's tasty and actually fairly good for you considering. The beet salad is delish and the chickpeas are good. The beef is very very good, great spices, and the chicken is very flavourful. Even the fried portions don't feel greasy so you can feel good about what you're eating.
If you're into this kind of food, I would highly suggest it!
Its a shawarma baby. Not the best shawarma I have had & no where near the worst I have had. They are good I had the wrath of khan wrap it was a bit much I could only really taste the falafel, not that is a bad thing I love falafel but for close to half the price could get the falafel wrap. I would definitely come back hear again.
Best shawarma ever.. Confused about the negative reviews here.
This was my lunch spot when I worked in The Exchange District. The staff are extremely friendly and the food is addicting!
My go-to: Chicken shawarma plate. Rice, potatoes, double chickpea salad. Extra hot sauce and dressing! Try it!
Unreal Food.... First and foremost your taste buds must be gone if you think this place in bad. I have been to this place for sure a dozen times and never once have I been disappointed. Not many places in this city where you walk in with a line up out the door and the owner yells "Stay... it will only be 5 minutes" and it is..... Every staff member does a great job. The foods is full of flavor and freshness. Great Job!!!!!
Nice!. A visit to the exchange district took me and my falafel-snob friends into Shawarma Khan. We liked it! A 9 out of 10 from the falafel snobs. Khan is a nice dude too in fact, all the staff were very friendly and they even threw in some complimentary pita chips. Yum. The place was spotless too.
I tried this place for the first time yesterday. I love the location, it is such a great area. I ordered the beef/lamb plate and it was pretty good. I never had shawarma before, so I had no idea what to expect. The feel of the restaurant and food quality, in my honest opinon, is very much like a food court, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I thought it was ok, except that the servers seemed kinda stingy when serving the meat. It was as though they were counting each little piece. The salads were different, especially the chickpea one which I really enjoyed. Overall, the dining experience is not bad here, but nothing I would rush to again.
Great location, great price, great food. Tried this restaurant for the first time, thought it would be expensive, it is not. I was shocked at how reasonable the prices were...$5.99 for chicken shawarma and it was sooooo good! I've never had pickled turnip on a wrap before - the combination of ingredients was perfect! I'll be back for sure...bonus: all the Bomber pics. Love the Bombers and now love the shawarma :)
Loved it!!. Very tasty food!! I had the chicken shawarma plate and it was amazing!! Apples in the beet salad was a new one for me but it worked so well! The parsley salad is very tasty and the chicken was tender and very tasty. The tzaziki sauce is very garlicky but it was to die for! And of course meeting Obby Khan was a lot of fun. I will be going back very soon.
We had a birthday party for 30 people and had Shawarma Khan cater for dinner. The family was a bit skeptical but were quick to love the great taste of everything from the beef/lamb, chicken shawarma to the bean salad and roasted potatoes. Everyone had plenty to eat and we had enough for leftover for a few of us. Here’s a tip heat up left over shawarma in a dry pan on medium flip the wrap(s) after 5 minutes and crisp up the sides, worked great! We also had to order gluten free and citrus free dishes, Obby and the crew were able to accommodate and everyone left happy and full.
2nd time and I must say the food tasted better this time :)
Obby! Obby! Obby!. They have some really good toppings you can get added to your shawarma, it's a damn shame they are so expensive to add though. That is my only complaint, as the shawarmas are delicious and very filling. If I want to pop in somewhere quick and get some food to go, this is my go-to place. It is also super cool to see Obby Khan, very friendly and genuinely interested in every customer that walks through the door.
Good wraps. The wrath of khan was awesome but the salad not so much left a funny aftertaste. but would come back for another wrath of khan! i would pay $5 bucks extra for a chance to try and tackle khan :)
I love the beef & lamb wrap with lettuce,jalapeños,and pickled beets laden with Tahini and hot sauce. The side salads are all amazing! I work downtown and have eaten at Shawarma Khan once a week for the past 3 weeks! Highly recommend the Chick pea salad!
This place is awesome! Although tamed down just a little bit from the traditional shawarma, Kahn puts out a very good and shawarma for under $10. The hot sauce isn't overbearing, but leaves a nice warm glow in the back of you throat. I recommend this spot to anyone who want's a good Meditaranian meal.
Wasnt bad but it wasnt that great!. Went to Shawarma Khan for the first time, I dont want to knock it, it was tasty but it could of been a little better, more sauce and more garlic, I added hot sauce to my chicken shawarma which I couldnt taste at all...they put it on the grill to crisp up the pita which was good but my chicken was pretty bland, all I tasted was onions. It was terrible but nothing really stood out.
Really good shawarma! People are comparing this place to baraka but Shawarma Khan definitely is more flavourful than Baraka! Didnt like the side dishes but the shawarma itself is delish! Obvi that's why the line is always ridics at bomber games
The best place for lunch in the Exchange! I eat here almost every week (and sometimes even twice a week...) with the girls from work. The flavours of the meat, sauces, etc. all go together so well, and the pickled turnips add that extra tangy crunch.
Love it!! All the ingredients are fresh, the portion size is good and the pickled turnips are delicious!
I'm a fan. I really enjoy the pickled beets, lamb and falafel they offer. Everytime I have gone my food has always been fresh, flavourful and enjoyable. I guess it's a little pricey, but it's nice if you want something tasty and quick for lunch. I personally have no issues with the price and am most certainly a repeat customer.
Really good but not the best. Food quality =8
Service = 8
Ambience = 4
Value = 8
If you like a veggie cuisine this joint is really good. In terms of the shwarms this place would be good to really good, but is a monster fail in terms meat portions. Maybe 3 oz./pita. Although tasty. Perhaps a double up on the chicken or lamb/beef would be a good option for an upcharge?
All in all........a la aahhnold "ill be back".
Good lunch spot. I've been to Shawarma Khan for lunches quite a few times. It's always well priced and pretty filling, though I would recommend the large size if you are hungry. I like mine pretty hot, so I usually get some jalapenos and extra hot sauce to spice it up more. Only down-side that I have experienced is once in awhile the wrap can be a bit on the cold side
I had no idea what shawarma was before coming here. I'm very impressed. Great food, great staff, and good value. Only beef is the location as it relates to parking. I drove around the block a few times. Totally my favorite place in the exchange
Best Shawarma West of the Rideau Canal. Everything is tasty and fresh with authentic Middle Eastern flavours. There isn't a better place for Shawarma west of Ottawa!
AMAZING shawarma's and salads. I was a little nervous going after some reviews, but SO glad I went. Wrath of Khan, chicken platter, tabbouleh salad, and the beet and apple salad were all amazing. The baklava was to die for. Can't even say enough about this place. Obby works the till which is nice to see and he's super personable (and easy on the eyes ;) Will definitely be back
The Best!. Delicious food, great atmosphere, amazing people. Top notch every time.
Best falafel and shawarma in the city bar none!!
Just had a chicken Shwarma. Tasted great, got a large which filled me up. Obby served us and the service was awesome!
Great job. I was very impressed by the restaurant. We went at lunch today and despite the long line up, it went quickly, and we managed to find a seat for our group of 8 (more luck than anything). Staff were quick to prepare, and Obby served us at the register. We used a coupon from the Show and Save book for 25% off. I had a Chicken Schwarma and it was fantastic. The hot sauce wasn't too hot for me, and I especially liked that they grilled the schwarma before giving it to you. Some in our group had the plates, and everything looked and tasted fantastic. Definitely going back!
Delicious food. Especially liked the flavors in the beet/apple salad. Shawarma was delicious. Linda was very helpful in suggesting items to try.
Best vegetarian option at the new stadium. The title says it all.
And Obi's a really affable character - gotta love him.
I Liked it. I really liked it. Everything was fresh, the place was clean and it was inexpensive. I have been here twice and I would be back.
AMAZING!!!!. We love this place! Even though the restaurant is small, we usually take our food to go. I would eat there every day if I could! However, I'm dropping in there after work quite frequently for the hummus and pita bread with the pickled turnip. It's amazing! I did not eat hummus before Obby made me try it. He's so awesome!
Pure Heaven Deliciousness!!!!. I will NEVER tire of eating at Shawarma Khan. The Wrath of Khan is pure heaven. It make me happy every time I eat it. Pure gold! And the extra pickled turnips make it even better! The service is always great and nothing makes your Wrath of Khan better then getting it wrapped with love by Obby Khan himself! He definitely knows how to wrap a girl's Shawarma!
YUM-MY!. I have been to Shawarma Khan many times and the food is delicious!
Best food in Winnipeg!. Hands down the best place to eat in Winnipeg!! Obby Khan knows what he's doing and he does it well! The food at Shawarma Khan is absolutely delicious and the best part is the ingredients are fresh and healthy, while still full of flavour. The portions are huge-you definitely get your money's worth. I have taken numerous friends here and they all left in love with the food! When you walk in, the first thing you notice is how clean the restaurant is. There is tons of light and the food is the main focus. Fresh, smells great, and tastes even better :) There is a dish for everyone, lots of variety, and I'm happy to try them all!
Love It!. Ever since i started going there for lunch a few months ago i have yet to be disappointed. I have had the Wrath of Khan, the Big Bird - i haven't had the plates yet because i am so hooked on the shwarmas. The food is delicious and the portions are great, too. I would recommend Shwarma Khan to anybody.
The best shawarma plate I've ever tasted and the shawarma wrap was massive.
Go for lunch there about once a week. Awesome food! Also helps to see the face of the business working the line or till. Fast and friendly.
Food is fantastic and definetly beat the old burger and fries, plus you don't feel like a bag of crap after eating it. Chicken shawarma with some chickpea salad. Fantastic
Awesome!. I just had lunch today at Shawarma Khan and it won't be my last! The service was friendly, the food was delicious and I even got to meet Obby himself... SUPER nice guy! Go there... you won't be disappointed!
First time but not the last. Flavour was awesome, will be back for more!!!
Massively Awesome. For under $10, you get a massive portion of juicy and filling chicken and veggies stuffed in to a pita shell and grilled. Its almost too much food for a lot of people, but you get your money's worth.
If you like a bit of a kick, ask for the hot sauce! Its not overwhelming and adds a nice mix of heat and flavour!
Great food. Went there for lunch and had the falafel plate - the food was all great! The falafel was nice and crispy outside and had lots of flavor. I didn't try the hot sauce but did have the tahini and loved the humus. Obby was there and took the time to say hi and take a picture!
A friend and I went for lunch to shawarma khan today and it was amazing, so delicious, flavourful and tender. Obby himself works the till and knows if your a first timer or a regular. This place is perfect for lunch or dinner and worth every penny! Enjoy!
Just came back from lunch and had the most amazing experience! Got to meet the owner himself, Obby, who was working cash, cleaning tables and even conversing with me and my coworker. Super friendly, the food is delicious, super fresh and quick to grab!! We work downtown and would definitely come back again! Kudos.
Best Shawarma EVER!!!. Since Shawarma Khan has opened it has been my 'go to' restaurant in the area. I work downtown and I eat there an average of 2-3 times/week. The food is healthy, filling and fantastic and the prices are great. My favourite things are the pickled turnip (yum!) and the apple and beet salad. If you haven't gone there, you MUST!
Try it if you haven't!. Been here a couple of times now. The vibe and atmosphere during the day is great. When the owner is around it's just full of life :)
The food is delish and needs to stick around the exchange forever. Definitely a must-try. Yay meats
Ordered catering from here for an event I was hosting. I chose their option 1 @ 10$/person. That got everyone a shawarma and a large helping of garlic roasted potatoes. It was tasty and the service was fast and friendly. Thomas made ordering a breeze and I felt confident in my order. Will definitely order again.
Was craving a Shawarma plate so I stopped in and tried the "Trio". It was delicious. The service was great and the store was clean.
5 stars if more meat was provided.
Chickpeas salad and beet & apple salad were really good, especially the beet didn't have bitter taste. Chips were really tasty too. The falafel balls were ok.
I popped in for lunch today, for the first time in ages (maybe a year?), and everyone recognized me and said hello. It totally made my day. Such a cool place, amazing staff and awesome food!
Shawarma Khan never disappoints!! Their food is always fresh and very delicious! Obby and all of his staff are so friendly. This is the best shawarma place in Winnipeg! It’s the real deal! MICU thanks you !!
Fantastic. From pickled cucumbers multiple options on hot peppers. Hummus and garlic spread to a great pita(thin so it doesn't overpower a bread taste in comparison to the sandwich tastes). Then the sides were the bonus. The beets and green apple salad was amazing. Highly recommend this place.
It’s a typical Middle East flavour restaurant, you get all kinds of shawarma wraps like beef, chicken and falafeel. You can definitely fulfill your hunger as they serve big portions. I was not very happy with the taste as I have tried shawarma before and it was amazing.
LOVE ALL the food, however the PITA chips with the garlic OR hummus is a delicious grab and go snack. It's right beside the register. You can't stop at one chip! In fact, you'll find yourself running in to grab one to go for a pick-me-upper I promise YOU ‼💥
