Crispy Shawarma – A Shawarma Experience Like No Other
Think you’ve had shawarma before? Not like this.
What makes it unforgettable is the bread. We season it with tomato sauce, pomegranate molasses, and sumac, then crisp it to perfection on the grill. The result is a golden, crunchy exterior that delivers incredible flavor in every bite.
Inside, the shawarma remains juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Served with our rich garlic dip and wrapped in a generous 12-inch portion, it’s a meal that truly satisfies.
One piece of advice: eat it fresh and hot. Don’t let it sit. Enjoy it right away, and it might just take you to the moon.

Saturday night at Yafa Café, we had the honor of hosting a special dinner with the Tunisian Ambassador to Canada and the Tunisian community in Manitoba.
The evening brought together the cuisines of Palestine and Tunisia through a shared menu inspired by Mashwi (grilled) and seafood as a tribute to our people’s intimacy with the sea despite all odds.
There is something truly special about gathering around a table, the pure bliss of community, of stories shared, and cultures meeting through food.
We were truly humbled and inspired by the energy of this group. You were absolutely amazing, we’d love to host you again 💕
Stop by Yafa Café in St. James, an Arab restaurant at heart, connecting people across cultures and experiences through the warmth of bread and hospitality. Bring your friends and family.
