Calgary Shawarma

Maybe it’s a Calgary thing, but unless the food is handmade by the best chef in the Middle East, under no circumstances should a falafel sandwich cost $ 8. With a drink, I paid over $ 12. In Toronto, $ 12 gets you a falafel platter with all of the fixins, a side of pita, and a drink. The falafel was OK – the man microwaved something in the back after I ordered and smashed the falafels into my sandwich which was kind of off-​putting since I look for crunchiness in a falafel, not a pile of spiced mush. It tasted pretty good though, I must say.
Someone needs to spend an hour cleaning and updating this place, because an hour is all it would take to make this place look so much better. Perhaps this is a reflection of laziness.
All in all, this place is ridiculously expensive and the food is just better than average. If I didn’t live around the corner I don’t know if I’d come back.

I love shawarma so I stopped by here to pick up a regular chicken shawarma. Service was quick — it was after lunch hour and as I was waiting for my order, I noticed how dirty the front area was. Maybe these guys are too busy to clean the grubbiness off the cooler windows, the counters, the till area, the garbage cans. This was more than a few days worth. They do use plastic gloves and seem to keep the prep area reasonably clean. I ordered all the toppings except onions. Second bite in, I bit something hard — a piece of bone! A few more bites and some more bone. I finally threw the rest away. I have never had chicken shawarma that contained bone! I don’t recommend this place.

I loved it! I just came by to buy something quick to get back to work and I found this pleasant surprise. It is a very good shawarma place, looks clean and opens late.
I got a mix shawarma (chicken and beef) with all the vegetables and no spicy sauce, and it was simply terrific.
Totally recommended.

Food is tasty n fresh. Service was good
I would recommend if you are in or near downtown.

They’ve got 2 locations, this one being their DT flagship one.
One of my corporate tech clients were quite pleased with their quality and catering service during the busy Christmas holidays.

I had a beef wrap. Bread was fresh meat was perfect loaded with fresh veggies. Somewhat spicy. Service was prompt and helpful when choosing the food since this was my first time here. I would definitely recommend this place. Much better that McDonalds or subway.
