If you're searching for the best halal restaurant in Winnipeg, your options are wider than they've ever been — and that's a good thing. Within that scene, Next Stop Cafe on Pembina Hwy has earned a loyal following by doing one thing consistently: serving authentic Persian and Mediterranean food, fully halal, with no shortcuts.
What makes a halal restaurant truly halal
Many restaurants label individual dishes as halal. Fewer build their entire kitchen around it. At Next Stop Cafe, every protein on the menu — chicken, lamb, beef — is sourced from certified halal suppliers. We don't carry pork, alcohol-based ingredients, or any items that compromise the standard. The kitchen, the prep, the storage — all halal end-to-end.
What to order on your first visit
- Mixed grill platter — koobideh, joojeh, and barg kebabs over saffron rice. The best way to taste our range.
- Baghali polo with lamb shank — slow-cooked lamb on dill and fava bean rice. Comfort food at its peak.
- Falafel plate — for vegetarians or anyone craving fresh Middle Eastern flavours.
- Ghormeh sabzi — Iran's beloved herb stew, served with rice.
- Saffron-pistachio milkshake — our most-ordered dessert.
Why locals keep coming back
Three things show up in our reviews again and again: portion size, flavour depth, and warm service. Our portions are generous because Persian hospitality demands it. Our flavours run deep because we marinate for 24 hours and cook everything from scratch. And our team treats every guest like an old friend.
Convenience matters too
- Open 7 days a week — early breakfast through late dinner.
- Free parking on site.
- Online ordering for takeout and delivery.
- Catering for offices, weddings, and private events.
- Reservations available for groups.
