By Update No Comments

The entire Yafa Cafe team would like to wish you a happy new year! There are many restaurants in Winnipeg. We can’t tell you how much we appreciate your support and your decision to dine with us.

Chai karak, spiced tea, winter menuNew Winter Menu

To show our appreciation, we’ve just launched our new winter menu. As always, in 2020, we will continue to offer the community an exciting menu of Arabic street food. We continue to brew speciality coffees and teas, whip up healthy salads and bake sweet desserts.

Resolutions

Every year at this time we like to make some New Year’s resolutions to help us do even better in the upcoming year.

Delivery Services

A year ago, one of our resolutions was to partner with Skip the Dishes and Uber Eats. That was very successful and we now have many customers who order our food through them.

We also made renovating the café a priority in 2019. First, we revamped the kitchen so we could bring you even more great food and coffee. In the summer we brought in new custom made tables. In addition, we installed Moroccan tiles and added upholstered leather seating. To make everyone feel welcomed, we made our café to be a comfortable space.

Now we’d like to share two of the resolutions that we’ve made for 2020.

More Vegetarian Plates

The Yafa Cafe is increasingly creative with its vegetable dishes. Flavourful, colourful seasonal vegetables all taste wonderful when cooked in Arabic style.

The winter menu lists 25+ plates that are very affordable and designed for sharing. They are all brimming with complex flavours that many wouldn’t expect from vegetarian food.

Koshari

Take Koshari-it is one of Egypt’s quintessential street food staples. You can find it being sold by vendors on most street corners. The satisfying and naturally healthy mix of lentils, white rice and pasta is topped with a spicy tomato sauce and garnished with caramelized onions and boiled chickpeas. A Middle Eastern spice mix added to the sauce brings out all the deliciousness so the combination becomes an incredibly satisfying vegan dish. It couldn’t be simpler, more delicious or affordable! Everyone in Egypt enjoys it as it’s very flavoursome. The differences are where it’s eaten and the quality of the ingredients used.

We use only the best grains in our Koshari and other dishes. The vegetables are always grown locally whenever possible. All the food freshly prepared every day by our team of chefs. They thoughtfully come up with delightful, different and delicious flavour combinations.

Live Music

When you walk in through our doors we want you to experience all the warmth and magic of Arabic culture. We want you to feel welcome and we love familiarizing you with our culture. Music is an important part of it so every Friday and Saturday night we will feature local musicians playing Arabic classics on stringed Oud instruments. These traditional tunes are very beautiful and nostalgic-we invite you to sit back and enjoy the music as you dine on delicious dishes from Yafa’s kitchen.

On nights that we feature live music we require a minimum purchase of $15 in order to support our ongoing commitment to top quality entertainment). We also host many community events throughout the year. We love being part of the community here in the city and like to promote community causes whenever we are able.

Final Words

Our goal is to be a great restaurant not just an average one. It won’t happen overnight but we are always working hard at it. So, stop by to try our new winter menu. Come in for the warm vibes as you enjoy great Arabic food while learning a little bit about our culture at the same time.

Help our restaurant thrive!
