Winner! My favourite place in Calgary for a shawarma! This place is different from all the rest. The pita is made fresh, right before you eat it. Because the pita is grilled after it is assembled, the bread is both chewy and crispy. Eating a shawarma with a freshly made pita makes a world of difference.
I ordered a beef shawarma but it turned out to be chicken. Doesn't matter - I like chicken too. Both meats are cooked over charcoal. You could see the juices splatter and spit over all the coals.
The toppings are five stars! What a selection! Everything was fresh and nicely minced or chopped. Vegetables were bright in colour and each had its distinct flavour, unlike some places where all the vegetables seem to taste like each other. The portion was large and even though my wrap was dripping with the sauces (hummus and tahini), I felt it was healthy.
The female owner is very nice and you can tell she cares about the quality of food that goes out. Pretty busy place. Lots of families and couples coming in for lunch.
Next time I will get a platter with the sauce on the side, so I can taste the meat on its own.
