I first heard of Les Saj from a friend who's familiar with good shawarma in the city. I've had…read moretheir shawarma before during Covid via Skip, but it's been a while so I decided to come back recently. Their signature dish is the Arabic Shawarma, which is similar to a chicken shawarma, but cut into bite sized pieces. I'm a bit wary when it comes to chicken shawarma as I usually prefer beef or lamb, but they did do a good job here. Slight bit of dryness in the chicken, but their garlic sauce more than made up for it. I believe Ramallah and Baraka are both slightly better shawarma places than here, but Les Saj is definitely an excellent option if you're in the Polo Park area.

I was in Winnipeg for work and my coworkers suggested I eat here. The food was so good I ate here…read moretwice while I was in town. The chicken was flavorful the portion sizes were very generous. The price was very reasonable. The people working were very friendly and helped make recommendations on what to order. The restaurant was clean and kept up well.

I have actually been going to this address when it was The Belgian Bakery and that goes back to the seventies. I had the vegetarian omelette this morning with a latke w sour cream, sourdough toast w mango jam and numerous cups of coffee. Yummy!!

This place has THE BEST kachapuri I ever had. I was very impressed with it. The crust wasn't…read moreoverbaked and it had the perfect blend of cheeses. The noise in the restaurant was at a higher level so keep this in mind when planning. The interior of the restaurant has a simple yet cozy feel to it. I enjoyed the interactions with my waiter. He was friendly yet not overbearing. If you order the kachapuri it will sit heavy on your stomach. You may want to order it as your main entree or share with others. I also ordered a Georgian chicken dinner but had to take it to go. They are a little more on the pricey side too. Overall, worth it though. I like the neighborhood this place is situated in. There is street parking as well and the front entrance isn't far from curbside. I enjoyed my visit here. They're open until 10:00 pm on Fridays. If I had more time in Winnipeg, I would return here. Perhaps next time? I will most likely return to Winnipeg at some point. This city surprised me in many ways.

I have been here a lot of times. Always good food and service. This last time was an exception. My…read morefriends got there before I did and they had numerous drinks before I arrived. Once I was seated and we had ordered the server proceeded to tell us they had a reservation shortly for this table. Then why didn't you say anything before I was seated and ordered or move us to another table. And the whole time I was trying to stuff food into me we were getting dirty looks from all the servers. I get that it is a pain to have people sit for a bit but we were trying to have a meal and a visit. I guess next time we will got somewhere that allows us to eat slow and relax My friend gave the server her AMEX to pay. She came back to the table and said sorry it didn't go through. How embarrassing for my friend. She used another card. Later called the restaurant and was told they don't accept AMEX. So why didn't the server say that. Instead she said it didn't go through and embarrassed her for no reason. Luckily she was with friends who understood not business clients. May be time to switch to a new favorite restaurant in my location.

+.5 for service…read more Quantity wise this place is amazing. Quality wise it's fine, not something I'd have often but it's fine. Taverna Rodos is located in Charleswood, and was quite popular when I went here recently with a friend. I had the pork souvlaki, which came with a lot of rice and even more vegetables. I'll be honest, I enjoyed the rice and veggies way more than the pork lol. The pork felt quite dry sadly, if it wasn't for the spices it would've been worse. Service is excellent. I'm sure there are other better items here given the plentiful menu options. I'm content on giving this 3-stars for now and re-evaluate if I decide to return here.

I've been wanting to try Famena's for the longest time since I started working downtown in October. Unfortunately the day I wanted to visit they were slapped with a health code violation and were shut down for almost 2 months. Famena's finally reopened in early December and I was able to grab lunch for takeout last Friday before the holidays. The number one item recommended by my coworkers was the ox tail, rice and peas. It used to only be available in selected days, but because of the pandemic the owners made it available everyday. The cost may seem a bit steep at $23, but it's worth it when you see the portion size. You'd have to be extremely hungry to finish the food off in one go...which I barely finished! The ox tail was extremely flavourful and juicy; I can definitely see where the hype is cause I've seriously never had food this filling and satisfying. Famena's is on Doordash during these tough times, but please, for the love of god, order from them directly. They deserve your support right now and are barely hanging on. I wanna try their roti next time, but moreover I really hope this place survives the pandemic cause I intend to be a regular here as much as I can and get to know the wonderful owners more.
