Downtown Winnipeg's Family-Run Thai Restaurant

Shaba Thai Cuisine is a cozy, hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant on Portage Avenue where the focus is on flavourful home-style cooking rather than fancy decor. Our small family team prepares authentic Thai curries, stir-fries and noodle dishes alongside Thai street-food favourites such as Pad Kapow, Khao Soi and Thai fried rice, plus Thai iced tea, Thai iced coffee and bubble tea. Guests keep coming back for the massive portions, reasonable prices and staff who are happy to walk you through the menu.

We are minutes away from the University of Winnipeg, Central Park, West Broadway and the Exchange District, making us a convenient stop for students, downtown workers and families across the West End. Vegetarian and vegan diners are always welcome: many dishes are meatless by default, tofu and vegetable options are available throughout the menu, and we gladly adapt recipes on request.

What Winnipeg Diners Say About Us

"This is the best Thai food I've had in Winnipeg! The portions are so big and the flavours are so, so good! We had the crab rangoons, green curry, coconut rice and the pad Thai. The service was amazing and the lady that runs it is the kindest woman ever. Definitely coming back!"

- Shaina S., Google Review

"Massaman curry internationally has something of a reputation for intense, borderline euphoric flavour. The curry I had more than lived up to this lofty standard. One of the most sensational things I've eaten in a very long time."

- Vernon L., Google Local Guide

"Best Thai food I've had in years. Every dish was amazing. Would definitely recommend the pad siew and the Tom Kha soup. I will definitely come back to try more dishes."

- Dan K., Google Local Guide
