The food at the Yafa Cafe is as good as any I have tried in the Middle East. Who would have thought Winnipeg would have it? Palestinian owned with stellar food quality. I have lived in the Middle East for over a decade, and I...would use this restaurant to introduce anyone to Middle Eastern cuisine. Great range of dishes on the menu. Mhammara (spicy pepper) dip and fatoush salad to start with msakhan chicken, falafel, and sayadia fish dishes as mains. So delicious! What a gem of a find in Winnipeg!More

I spotted this place as we drove by, the front really stood out and I immediately googled it. It is a really cool setting with authentic smells, artifacts and the whole family sat around the table as we walked in. The food was very tasty...and generous portions. It is inexpensive and very much worth every cent. I will recommend this place to everyone and will certainly return.More

Delicious, tasty and healthy foods. Very kind and pleasant service. I have special autoimmune needs, so am very careful about what food when I eat out. The restaurant had delicious food, and adapted the food selected so I had a filling and great meal out!...A rare treat for me. Thanks to the owners and staff.More

Ate here twice during September while flying in and out of Winnipeg - very good Palestinian food, great service, friendly people. This would be a regular haunt if I lived in Winnipeg.

This restaurant keeps fairly busy right until closing. I ordered the Grilled Beef/Lamb Kebab in a Pita Wrap. It had Onions, Peppers, Tomatoes, Pickles and Hummus. The Wrap wasn’t very filling and was a bit pricy, but it was flavourful and tasty. I would go...back to try other menu items.More

Every time I have eaten food from Yafa Cafe, I’ve been blown away by how fresh, delicious, and well portioned the food is. I try to order something different every time, and haven’t been disappointed yet. The knafeh nabulsi and the makloubeh are particularly amazing...(but you may want to bring a partner to help you out with finishing them). The food is still fantastic when ordered as delivery, nothing hits the spot on an overnight shift like a shawarma platter. 10/10 restaurant, fantastic food, great staff.More

Came to Winnipeg for a visit, noticed Yafa Cafe by the warm and catchy decorations. When I tried the food for the first time I was so happy, everything was great specially Kunafeh as if you are eating it back home. The staff and owners...are super friendly and wonderful, the place is super clean and you will always get the best quality of food. Yafa Cafe is highly recommended, I would come back to Winnipeg again just to eat there.More
