    At the checkout, when paying with a card, they do not ask for tips!!!! I came many times and for the tenth time I noticed that somehow the terminal immediately asks for payment total amount with tips bypass! It's worth coming here just for that. I tip here myself. Cash. The owner is a very nice person and not greedy. Always cheerful. He's probably been working here all his life. When we make a big order, there are always good discounts. Shawarma is always delicious. Lots of meat. I love this place.

    The best food and honestly the best owner. He hooked me up with a huge last minute order even during crazy lunch rush. He’s so kind and helped. It’s a plus that I’ve found a shawarma shop that actually tastes good too!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 highly recommend

    This is definitely the place you should visit if you want to have your Shawarma fix. And dont forget to ask for Mad Dog Hot Sauce! Choose the 1M and you'll life will never be the same again. Trust me.

    Fantastic service from a high energy, positive guy. Very friendly little place that serves an explosive shwarma that is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this place if you want to support a local business and a business that provides quality food too.

    This place is the best! The food is consistently amazing, and the owner is a big part of what makes this place so great. He is so warm & kind and truly brightens my day every time I go in. Can't recommend enough!

    Thank you for dinner !! I had the house plate : Tabouli, hummus, three grape leaves, two falafels, and I choose the mixed meet Chicken & Donair, with a tasty aioli or garlic sauce and a pita. The food was amazing, fresh and so full of flavor. The gentleman had to put up with me for an hour while my car was being repaired, he was so nice and thoughtful, very social. He has a great business and delicious food. You should eat here !!

    The guy behind the counter is a hoot; it's almost like dinner and a show. The meat and sauce are amazingly flavourful. Unfortunately, like most donairs, the wrap does not absorb the sauce so it leaks causing a mess. (even though I kept the wrapper on the part I wasn't actively biting into.) Also his mask slipped down throughout the serving process and he didn't fix it.

    Excellent Food and Excellent Customer Service! Thanks Marwan! - He always Remembers customer's names and orders over the years and this spot is a nice addition to the community. If you like Donairs and a cozy community vibe, give this place a shot :)

    Calgary Shawarma is a great little hole in the wall along Edmonton Trail full of delicious food and endless laughs thanks to Marjuan's high energy. Be warned that sometimes the jokes can be a bit on the non-PC side of things depending on which customers are in the shop at the time.

    Sooooo I’ve been everywhere Jerusalem shawarma... Shawarma palace... Jimmys And the list goes on. All of them are amazing, all in different ways. Buttttt CALGARY SHAWARMA is definitely my favourite place. Not just the amazing quality And flavour of the food, but mainly the atmosphere, price, and over all feel of the place. You know when you go to grandmas house? It kind of feels like that. You feel at home, and very well taken care of. The size is very generous and the price is very reasonable. I think it’s like 8 dollars or less. Love it!! U the best 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

    This place has the best Shawarma iv had in the city, the food was so delicious and i could tell every ingredient was made with care. The place had personality and good vibes as soon as I went in. The staff had good energy and shared some treats while I waited for my food and had good conversation. Highly recommend 👌

    Still the go to after more than 20 years. He really deserves more than just that one-liner so I’m adding an edit. Always willing to please and make your experience the best. Always friendly and upbeat. Remembers customers, for years! And their family, and their kids, and who wants what. It actually quite impressive! Nothing much has changed in years, because it didn’t need to! For fantastic shawarmas where the owner cares there is no need to go elsewhere.

    Awesome little deli, food is fresh and full of flavor (ask about the sunshine sauce!!) always a go too for our shawarma and donair cravings. The owner is the friendliest person I have met in the the service industry.

    Don't be fooled by the location. This is, hands down, the best shawarma in the city and there's no better guy than the owner.

  • 5/5 Rayan H. 7 months ago on Google
    It's always the odd locations that have the best shawarma, this place has a friendly owner who welcomes you with a smile and of course banger food. The portion sizes were great, about the same size as every other shawarma you've eaten in Calgary. The chicken is well seasoned and the sauces are all flavorful, especially the garlic sauce. It's not the cloud looking garlic sauce that you get out of other establishments, can't describe the taste of the garlic sauce very well but its unique and perhaps the best one I've had in my life. The 4.8 stars are here for a good reason.This place is amazing.

    The best Shawarma I've ever had. I have traveled throughout the middle east recently. I have never ran into to someone who takes so much pride in delivering amazing, quality food and conversation. I wish I was local, as i would eat here frequently. If you are in the area, you owe it to yourself to try this once in a lifetime food!

  • 5/5 Jordan K. 2 years ago on Google
    You’ve got some options for shawarma/donair in the area, but this is the right choice. Both beef and chicken are always perfectly seasoned. Sauces are flavourful, proportions are perfect. The man who runs this place does so with enthusiasm and care. Prices are low, quality is very high. A business worth supporting.

    I wish I could give 10 stars. Stumbled upon this spot randomly. The owner was fast, friendly and funny. We had some good laughs as he made up my donairs. Offered a sample of the beef with a different sauce. All around great experience. Would highly recommend and will be a return customer!

  • 5/5 Nafiz F. 6 months ago on Google
    Best Shawarma spot in Calgary easily. The owner is a man with a great sense of humor and taste. The shawarma is so flavorful, stands out from the rest of the stuff we have in the province even I'd say. Great food, even better service.

    The man who works here, likely the owner, is simply wonderful. He is funny, friendly and caring. He remembers his customers! His prices are great and he isn't afraid to throw in some freebies. The food is also perfect! Free parking, easy location to get to, clean, and wonderful. I love this place, I love this guy!

  • 2/5 Zaskar 9. 3 years ago on Google
    Letting anti maskers in when the stores only allowed 3 at a time with a mask,,,I was upset, the foods good but not worth catching Covid19 from ignorance, the person behind the counter has control of his store, that person should have been asked to leave. Plus the Anti maskers where rude and Smug, it was a nice place in the hood not no more, words out☠️⚔️🏴‍☠️

    The wrap was very plain and when I asked for a refund they asked me to leave the store I was very furious, you’re guys customer service needs to get better

  • 5/5 Vern 3 years ago on Google
    I've worked across the street at Boogies for 6 years, and when I'm not in the mood for burgers I always go here. I'm pretty the guy that owns/runs it is the only person who works there and he's literally the sweetest guy on the planet. The food is always amazing, the portions are generous, the prices are more than fair, and whether it's busy or slow you'll get the friendliest service in the city every time. Definitely go here and support this place!!!!

  • 5/5 Amy D. 4 years ago on Google
    I was craving a shawarma & was driving around with my partner to find a place opened around 10am ish, as most places aren't opened till about 11am. We came across Calgary Shawarma which was luckily opened. We ordered a large & small beef shawarma. It was delicious & definitely satisfied my cravings!! The gentlemen working there was very friendly & provided excellent customer service! I'm glad to be supporting a local business like this in these unprecedented times. I would most definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys great food & appreciates quality service!

  • 5/5 gurlin d. 4 years ago on Google
    Very kind,welcoming and a family/friendly orientated experience. Everytime I go in for donair, which by the way is so delicious! The kind and welcoming experience only makes it taste so much better ! Definitely my top donair place to come eat at in Calgary! It's a must visit 😁 you won't regret it.

  • 5/5 Weston C. 4 years ago on Google
    Food is fantastic! Price is great and the customer service is even better. Just wished they were open longer so I can eat more!

  • 5/5 Elsa M. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is a must try. Recently tried this place and I am hooked! First, the service is great. Very friendly and everyone is smiling and respectful. The food is great. So tasty and very fresh. You can get a platter or a shawarma wrap. Both are awesome. I get the wrap and for $11.50 it's a lot of wrap. They have chicken, lamb and beef and make it how you want it. There's a Shawarma Palace in Forestlawn and one also in Falconridge.
