I truly don’t believe you can find better Thai food in the city than Shaba Thai. The green curry soup is to die for, and a very very large portion. For me, it’s enough to take some home for lunch the next day! Service is wonderful and it’s beautiful to see them so busy because they truly deserve the business. Even with pick-ups constantly coming in, there was no delay in receiving our hot meals. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

My partner and I ate there for the first time and we were blown away! The food was incredibly delicious and fresh—it honestly is my favourite Thai food I've ever had. Although they were busy with takeout orders, the owner was very kind and the food came out impressively fast.
There are only four tables, so this restaurant may be better suited for takeout. However, if you haven't tried Shaba Thai yet, please do yourself a favour and order from this gem of a place.

Food was exceptionally good. Flavors are balanced and intense. Extraordinary service.

Lots of great dishes. Most dishes can be made vegan upon request.
Recommend ordering direct, rather than through Skip the Dishes, to make sure they can accommodate.

Ordered the Pad Kee Mao and the noodles were not the same as indicated in the images online. Sadly the dish was not good - tasted heavily of pepper with no other noticeable flavours and the small rice I selected was not included with the order.

So delish. So much variety. Definitely worth trying!!

My new favorite thai restaurant. Had it three times, and it did not disappoint, which is fairly surprising for a winnipeg restaurant.

Food is delicious 😋 recommend their mango salad and curry so good. Only thing is we sit beside the door it’s little cold here. Overall it’s good

Great little Thai restaurant in downtown Winnipeg. We had tom yum and tom kha as well as a fish cake starter. The owner/server is friendly and knowledgeable. The food is about as good as you can expect for Southeast Asian cuisine in the center of Canada. The place itself isn't very big and has very plain decor but it's definitely a great place if you're craving Thai food.
I ordered delivery and it was amazing. I had the red curry soup and it was so good. I wanted to order another menu item as soon as I finished it. Even the ‘ice capp’ I got was one of the best I’ve ever had. I’ll eat from here all the time, guaranteed. Thank you!

Shaba Thai has completely captured my heart (and taste buds)! From start to finish, our experience with this incredible restaurant was nothing short of spectacular.
We ordered takeout and were blown away by the quality, care, and flavors that came with each dish. The Beef Pad Thai was an absolute revelation…. every bite was perfectly balanced, bursting with vibrant flavors and textures. It’s easily the best I’ve had in the city, if not ever.
The Tom Kha Soup and Tom Yum Soup were in a league of their own. These soups aren’t just food; they’re experiences. The depth of flavor in each spoonful warmed the soul, with a perfect blend of comforting richness and tangy brightness. I genuinely believe they might be some of the best soups I’ve ever had in my life.
The summer rice rolls were so fresh, light, and beautifully presented, and the accompanying peanut sauce was the perfect complement—creamy, nutty, and packed with flavor.
Not only was the food unforgettable, but the service was just as impressive. The person who handled our pickup order was so kind, welcoming, and attentive, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. It’s clear that this restaurant values their customers as much as their craft, and that extra care shines through in every detail.
Shaba Thai is, without question, one of my absolute favorite Thai restaurants in the city. You’ve set a standard that’s second to none, and your passion for what you do is evident in every dish you serve.
Five stars aren’t enough to express how much we loved it. If I could, I’d give you 100 stars! Keep doing what you do because it’s truly magical.

Excellent food, and quick, kind service. I wouldn’t recommend bringing a date though, it’s not the best looking place (unless your date is super hungry or blind). But for the food, I’d definitely go back or order again!
