Yafa cafe is amazing! The owners have all a cafe could ask for, loving caring huge hearts, a friendly warm environment, a twist with their amazing cultural aspects and fascinating tasty food and drinks !!! I strongly recommend this place to anyone and everyone!
Oh and the art work on their display stand is outstanding;)
Very nice and brand new place with Mediterranean homemade food, drinks and Hookah. You can eat drink and work in an amazing environment.
The owner Rafe is such an amazing warm-hearted Arabic man from Ottawa.
Highly recommend.
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.
The Best Restaurant in the Peg! Hands down! The Makloubeh is out of this world (especially the beef variety)! Other good recommends are the Foule & Eggs, and Beef & Lamb Kebab. I’ve been around the Winnipeg eatery scene for decades and nothing stands close to my memory to this beautiful gem of eats!
Delicious food! Really beautiful atmosphere and extremely friendly service. Excellent meatless and vegan options as well. Can’t wait to return!
The Makloubeh was delicious and the portion size huge - easily three meals for some. Beef shawarma was very very dry, as other reviewers had commented. The staff is very friendly, and the service style is definitely cafe, so don't expect restaurant service.
Ordered takeout from Uber Eats and picked up in-store. Great service and atmosphere, has the sense of being a local hangout. Great music. I'm avoiding indoor eating during the pandemic but wanted to stay longer. Chicken shawarma had fresh and tender meat and great portion size. I don't live in Winnipeg but it pops out driving down Portage and I'll definitely order again. Piles of fresh desserts in store and the baklawa looked amazing.
I wanted to check this place out because it's so beautiful on the outside. But it is equally beautiful on the inside, and the music had me vibing the whole time. The food though...mm mmm mmmm. So delicious! We had the hummus with naan and the spinach and cheese "pizza" type thing. Everything was so fresh and flavorful! I'm the type to usually find something I like and stick with it, but there was so many dishes I can't wait to try. We will definitely be back!!
Best Middle Eastern food in town! Must tries in Mains- Koshary, Musakhan. In desserts- Basbousa, Om Ali. Drink- Hibiscus tea, their hot chocolate is to die for, with an extremely rich and creamy texture!
The ambience and the decor are perfect and feels like you're transported.
Very accessible by bus too.
Will definitely be going back multiple times to try everything on the menu.
