Pita Basket Cafe

I’ve driven by the Pita Basket Café a few times and on an afternoon that I was hungry, I pulled in to check it out. I ordered a regular size beef donair and it was pretty darn good! They don’t skimp on the beef or fresh veggies. They grill press your donair if you like and the price is on par with many other similar restaurants. The interior has ample seating if you’d like to stay and eat in. You also can order on-​line on
before hand for extra convenience. Overall, I had a positive experience here!

Average. I live and breath good shawarma. It was ok. If you are looking for yummy Jerusalem Shawarma in County hills or shawarma palace in Falconridge. Nothing here can compare.

I ate here yesterday to see what all the people are bragging about. Food was mediocre, the lady who prepared my donair was cheap with the lettuce and the meat she put in, kept picking a few off the donair although already on it. She wrapped it terribly. The male cashier was very friendly. Average price, i would go elsewhere to get more bang for my bucks.
Also the salads were average $ 6 and barely anything on the plate!

WOW !!
Joyce and I went here after a long day of travel and store /​site visits. It was close to the hotel and Joyce was kind enough to let me have what I was craving.
Small place, seats 25 people. You order at the counter — everything looks amazing !! We ordered Lamb Kabob plate (which came with Pita, rice (which I choose not to have), turnip, pickles, humus and tabouli, the Chicken Shawarma plate which also came with the same, Babaganoush and a Kebbi and a small spinach & feta pie — oh gosh — went to heaven. Everything was so delicious !!
Garlic sauce — yummy ! How do they do that’s ?
Service was fantastic ! I will for sure return !

I ordered a falafel sandwich, and the falafels were pre-​made and cold. Unfortunately pre-​made falafels are the norm for Calgary, but most places at least heat them up on the grill for you.
The rest of the ingredients were decent; however, the cold (and dry and dense) falafels were a dealbreaker for me.

Another really tasty sampling of goodies at pita basket. I tried sone falafel — fairly standard, a little on the oily side but overall pretty tasty. Taztiki dip was nice and not too overpowering. Chicken pita wrap… Omg.. This is where it gets good. To quote my bf this pita made pita pit or extreme pita look like rubbish. Absolutely packed with meat and topping such as garlic aoli, parsley, hummus, tabouleh etc. They had a large selection of options to put on it.
Plus I got a large take home container of baklava for 8 bucks. Really good price for the quantity. Same with the pitas they were huge. Falafel balls they were slightly larger than other places but not by a lot.
The place was a bit on the dingy side and I think for me it’s more of a takeout place from now on once having eaten inside.
But the food is quite good, reasonably priced, and this marks my 2^nd visit which is very rare for me. In fact I should make a list of the places that have been solid enough to visit more than once. Haha.
