Tazza Deli & Grill

Had the Chicken Shish Tauok and Beef Shawarma. Both were equally delicious with very generous portions.
The store is very well organized and clean. They have definitely marketed their products to the Bridgeland crowd while keeping flavors authentic.

My wife and I stopped in here for lunch on the weekend. We each had the regualr chicken shish and neither of us were dissapointed. The meat was marinated and flavourful, I loaded mine up with everything (except onions) and she was a little more concervative opting for just tomato and lettuce. Needless to say which ever way you go there are loads of fresh options to load up your sandwich/​wrap.
We found the «regular» size to be more than enough to satisfy us for lunch. If you are near Brideland and looking of a lunch spot, I reccomend stopping in!

Great customer service. When we told them we had dietary restrictions, they substituted sides for no charge. Would eat here again!

Let’s just say that I came to this restaurant with high expectations as the reviews I read were positive. I ordered two chicken sheish salads with two plain pitas to go and took lunch to my sister. My sister has had this salad numerous times before and loved it. Upon initial taste we found the flavours to be quite good, however, taking another glance at the salad it appeared that the chicken was quite flabby and fatty making it inedible to eat. Actually it made me want to vomit thinking about the grissly fat in my mouth. The salad was also lacking in typical ingredients like pickled turnip which normally came in the salad. The pita was also old and stale.
With much debate we decided to pack up our salads and take them back to the store to see what they were willing to do for us. An older woman, who I presume to be one of the owners, asked me what was wrong. I explained my concerns to which her response was not an apology but reasons for why certain ingredients weren’t on the salad (even though I had ordered them «loaded»). She proceeded to the cash register, presented me the money for the salads and then proceeded to wave me out the door. I am disappointed that Tazza didn’t take the opportunity to correct their mistake and salvage a customer or even offer me an alternative. Suffice to say I will not be returning and neither should you.

Always an oasis in the middle of a city thats full of bad shwarma… Tazza is always fresh and I’ve never been let down. Rock solid family running this place! No reason to go anywhere else…

I have travelled the world and never had a better baklava! Family owned and operated — the love on this block with the grocery store across the street speaks volumes for this community! Their shawarma is second to none– but that goes without saying!

There are lots of vegan options. I don’t know how most of them taste, because I always get the falafel wrap which is great. The sauce they put on it is very good.

Worst Mediterranean fare we’ve experienced in a very long time! Tabouli, tasteless; hummus, flavorless; lamb shawarma, dry and tough; veggie platter, disappointing. They were busy, so folks must like it, but if you’re looking for good Mediterranean, this isn’t it

Great food but a bit pricey for what you get compared to other shawarma places (maybe the «large» chicken shistawouk should have more than a sprinkling of chicken in it). However where they fall short in value, they more than make up for in atmosphere. Only a few tables but really cool spot. Better value would make it a 5. #morechikin

As soon as you enter you will realize this is a family owned and operated business. I ordered the shawarma sandwich with all the topings and also baba ghanoush and felafel for starter.
Baba ghanoush was fantastic, very tasty and garlicy: D However, felafel was precooked and then microwaved which made it saggy. The shawarma sandwich was okay, for sure not the best shawarma Ihave tried.
If you are in bridgeland and are looking for a quick sandwich, I highly recommend this place but do not expect anything out of ordinary.
I think I will only go back there to buy some take out baba ghanoush, otherwise other items on the menu did not look promising.

You come for the food! I have had several items on the menu and it is all Fresh, authentic and wow. Bring a friend or get it to go. You will not be disappointed.

Ive written a review already, but it was removed. Seems these people have some kind of contact or support in the Unilocal administration. I’ll try to put it delicatly and see if this review makes the cut, if it is removed again then i do believe Unilocal/​javier will be criminally liable
I had the shwarma it tasted like cat food, and looked like it, I believe they have a cat at the restaurant and I did see owner/​manager feeding it. In the hour I waited for my shwarma to finally come it was horrible, had hairs in it and dirt. I watched him sweeping up the place while he was making my shwarma, kept saying that the meat needed to warm up, as the spindle was off, I went outside for a smoke, and when i came back in it was all ready made, and I headed home to eat it and discover it was catfood&floor sweepings, I feel horribly sick, vomiting diahrea constantly, Im in the hospital emergency room waiting — stay away form this place.

The falafel wrap is amazing!!! Best I ever had!!! Tastes sooooo good! Seriously amazing and so fresh!

Very authentic, nice owners. Convenient location in Bridgeland with a small parking lot.
This is my hubby’s favorite place to get the grape leaves filled with rice. I am no connoisseur of Lebanese food but I really like the beef filled pastries (fatayar?)
Small seating area, very artisan-​type crowd. Not cheap but you get what you pay for in this case, homemade. The food does not look nor taste as though it has ever been frozen.
We never leave without a bag of goodies for take-​out.

After my first visit over the summer, Tazza quickly stole my heart and has become one of my favourite places for a quick lunch stop with friends.
With so many vegetarian options available at Tazza, I didn’t know what I wanted to try first. On my initial visit, I settled with the hummus and tabouleh wrap, which is now totally my favourite thing. Their tabouleh salad is bomb, just in case you were wondering. I also really enjoy the falafel, with most every crisp vegetables and some tahina. Pair this with an iced Guayaki yerba mate (my favourite is REVEL BERRY, featuring a bad ass revolutionary on the tall can), and I’m swooning.
Tazza is always quite busy when I visit here, and I only wish it were open longer hours so I could swing by for dinner once in awhile. If the weather’s nice, I love to eat on the lovely patio, or head across to Bridgeland Market for some Santa Cruz lemonade and call it a picnic outside with my friends.

I’ll be honest. There are so many places in this city to get a donair, shawarma or whatever rotisserie meat in a wrap on some combo plate with a dollop of hummous and some greens. But this place is different. This little place in Bridgeland boasts a stylish and comfortable space, friendly staff and the freshest, most brilliant Middle Eastern food around.
Fast food is good food when you know what you’re looking for and Tazza has a vast array of all the favourites made fresh and ready when you order it. The ordering process is convenient and streamlined, as you move along the length of the service counter. As you go down the line, you can see the display cases with the selections of fresh salads, dips and sweets.
My favourite is the Shish Taouk platter. It’s a traditional chicken kabob with a healthy and colourful assortment of pickles, salad, pita and creamy hummous for your eating pleasure. The presentation is unique, the ingredients are artfully arranged and the attention to detail shows.
The food itself is delicious. The meats are tender and juicy with that nice textural variety with the tender interior and the roasted, crisp edges of the exterior. The flavour of the greens are well complimented by the briny sourness of the pickles. On the other side of the profile, the pita and creamy hummous offer a nice contrast.
If you are lucky enough to be a resident of this wonderful neighbourhood, I envy you. Tazza is definitely a highlight of the Bridgeland experience.

tazza, tazZA, tAZZA, TAZZA!
Back in the day, Tazza wraps were my favourite office lunch. Yet, I had no idea where the location even was. All I knew was that when the receptionist was looking for lunch suggestions and I was the first one within earshot, she’d get a loud: «TAZZA!!!»
Then one day, I discovered I could actually get my own Tazza wrap. I didn’t have to wait for said receptionist to get the go ahead to order lunch for the office. SCORE! Now I happily munch on my fave (Hint for my friends: If you’re ever looking for a lunch item to bribe me with… it’s the chicken shish taouk wrap).
So yummy. So good. Damn, now I wish they were open late!

Quick and delicious — great for takeout or dine in!
I need to say a big THANK YOU to fellow Unilocalers… Due to your positive reviews, I decided to come here for lunch today. I was particularly indecisive, so I’m glad Unilocal was there to point me in a direction I wouldn’t have thought of on my own.
I tried the Chicken Shish Taouk. The chicken was a generous serving of moist and flavorful gyro meat. It was stuffed into a pita, along with tabbouleh salad, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickled turnips. It was seasoned with a garlicky sauce that was really tasty! My favourite part of the preparation was when he threw the finished pita on a panini press to crisp it up. It took less than 5 minutes to place my order, and have my food turned out by an efficient assembly line of cheerful Turkish guys. Awesome!!! I will definitely be back! It looked like they were turning out quite a bit of large orders, so this could be an option for your office catering.

If you have any lebanese friends you probably know that they are all self proclaimed experts on all things lebanese… I am no exception to this.
I’ve tried different chicken shishtawouks from across the globe, from my mommas homemade ones, freshly made ones in lebanon, to even dodgy ‘chicken’ ones in SE asia. The reason why Tazza is my second favorite is because it tastes like no one elses, so once you get hooked there’s really no substitute… Try the Najib Special and you’ll know what I mean.

I drive by this place EVERYDAY on the way to work. I had no clue what type of store it was or anything. I assumed it was a small coffee shop… (Tazza… Tazo? I don’t know how my mind works). Anyway I was surprised when they catered one of my work lunches. Now, normally lunch food is neither great nor bad, but definitely not worth mentioning. However, this work lunch was different.
HOLY CRAP. The food here is unreal. I knew from the first bite it deserved a rave review so that anyone who hasn’t tried it will try it. I had a chicken Shistawouk AND a beef shwarma. I was convinced there wasn’t any good authentic Lebanese food in Alberta, but it’s here. Both were very good but the chicken Shistawouk was honestly like nothing I’ve ever tasted. It was like a perfect meld of flavours. The pita wrap is unbelievably fresh… I wonder if they make it themselves?
The Greek salad was nice and light, and their drink selection is honestly very large but nothing I’ve seen sold at almost any other stores in the city.
OH and I almost forgot to mention the Baklava. Heaven. Like… absolutely amazing.
I’ve never dined in yet, but I definitely will now. Go try it!!!
