For Winnipeggers looking for authentic halal cuisine, Next Stop Cafe has been a destination on Pembina Hwy for years. Our menu pulls from Persian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern traditions — every dish is fully halal-certified, made from scratch, and served the way it would be in a kitchen back home.
What "halal" really means at Next Stop Cafe
Halal isn't just about how the meat is sourced — it shapes how we cook. We use certified halal suppliers for every protein on our menu. We keep our kitchen free of pork and alcohol-based ingredients. And our chefs handle every cut with the care that halal preparation demands.
Signature halal dishes
- Joojeh Kebab — saffron-marinated chicken, charcoal-grilled, on butter-saffron rice.
- Koobideh — hand-minced lamb and beef kebab seasoned with onion, sumac, and salt.
- Ghormeh Sabzi — slow-braised herb stew with lamb, kidney beans, and dried lime.
- Baghali Polo with Lamb Shank — dill and fava bean rice with fall-off-the-bone lamb.
- Mezze platter — hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, falafel, and warm pita.
More than just kebabs
People discover us through kebabs, but the menu runs much deeper. Daily Persian stews, vegetarian platters, breakfast plates, Mediterranean mezze, fresh juices, and a growing dessert menu all share the same standard: halal, fresh, and made in-house.
