Best Shawarma Nachos in Winnipeg

About Our Shawarma Nachos

The Shawarma Nachos are a Habibiz Cafe original — a dish born right here in Winnipeg that you won't find on any other menu in the city. The concept is simple but brilliant: take the irresistible, shareable format of loaded nachos and rebuild it entirely with Middle Eastern ingredients and flavours. Instead of tortilla chips, we use house-made crispy pita chips that are lighter, crunchier, and hold up better under a mountain of toppings. Instead of ground beef or pulled pork, we pile on freshly carved shawarma meat — seasoned with our traditional Palestinian spice blend and shaved straight from the rotating spit.

Every plate is built to order. The pita chips come out of the fryer golden and hot, then get layered with generous portions of shawarma, a blend of melted cheeses, diced fresh tomatoes, crunchy pickles, and drizzles of our house-made garlic sauce and optional hot sauce. The result is a dish that's perfect for sharing during a hookah session with friends, as an appetizer before your main course, or as a satisfying late-night snack during our extended hours. At $10.99, it's one of the best-value shareable plates in Winnipeg — and every ingredient is 100% Halal-certified.

Why Our Shawarma Nachos Stand Out

What makes Habibiz Cafe's Shawarma Nachos truly unique is that no one else in Winnipeg makes them. This is our creation, designed specifically for the way our customers like to eat — communal, flavourful, and fun. The pita chips make all the difference: they're sturdier than tortilla chips so they don't get soggy under the weight of the toppings, and their subtle Middle Eastern flavour complements the shawarma instead of competing with it. We also use freshly carved shawarma rather than pre-cooked or reheated meat, which means every plate has that signature juicy, well-seasoned texture straight off the spit. Whether you're here for the hookah lounge, a casual dinner, or a late-night craving, the Shawarma Nachos are the dish that turns first-time visitors into regulars.
