Best Lamb Shawarma Wrap in Winnipeg

About Our Lamb Shawarma Wrap

Uses time-honoured Palestinian marinade with sumac, cumin, cardamom. Slow-roasted on vertical spit until perfectly tender and caramelized. At Habibiz Cafe, our Lamb Shawarma Wrap reflects generations of culinary tradition passed down through the Zeid family. The lamb is carefully selected, then marinated overnight in a proprietary blend of sumac, cumin, cardamom, allspice, and fresh garlic. This extended marination allows the spices to penetrate deeply, producing meat that is intensely flavourful from the very first bite to the last.

Once stacked onto the vertical spit, the lamb slowly rotates for hours, self-basting in its own juices while the outer layers develop a gorgeous caramelized crust. When you order, we shave thin ribbons of this perfectly cooked lamb directly into your wrap, ensuring maximum freshness. Combined with our house-made garlic sauce, crunchy fresh vegetables, and warm flatbread, every Lamb Shawarma Wrap is a 100% Halal masterpiece served right here on Portage Ave.

Why Our Lamb Shawarma Wrap Stands Out

What sets our Lamb Shawarma apart from others in Winnipeg is the quality of the lamb and the authenticity of the preparation. Many restaurants use pre-formed lamb logs, but at Habibiz Cafe we stack whole cuts of marinated lamb onto our spit daily. The result is a noticeably different texture — tender, juicy, and naturally layered rather than uniform and processed. The Palestinian spice profile featuring sumac and cardamom gives our lamb a distinctive flavour that you will not find at typical shawarma shops. Customers who have tried lamb shawarma across Winnipeg consistently tell us that ours tastes like the real thing — because it is.
