HABIBIZ
About HABIBIZ
Habibiz is Winnipeg's premier authentic Middle Eastern restaurant and hookah lounge. There are 2 locations. One near Polo Park, and the other in The Exchange. The cafe is a vibrant, culturally immersive destination known for its rich Palestinian and Arabic cuisine, welcoming atmosphere, and the unique distinction of being Winnipeg's only alcohol-free hookah lounge.
Owned and operated by Canadian-Palestinian brothers Ali Zeid and Sammy Zeid, Habibiz Cafe was born from a desire to celebrate their Palestinian roots. The brothers opened their first cafe at 1373 Portage Ave, creating a space that combines their culture and heritage with modern Canadian life. "What happens at Habibiz Cafe today, I did not envision this," Ali has reflected. "It came with our modern life living here in Canada with our culture, our roots — we combined it."
The culinary experience centres on Winnipeg's most celebrated shawarma — including the viral crispy chicken shawarma and succulent lamb shawarma wraps — alongside handmade falafel, creamy homemade hummus, fresh tabbouleh, sambusa, kebabs, rice plates, and a full selection of hookah flavours paired with Arabic coffee and sage tea. Every dish is 100% Halal-certified.
