Glad to see lots of people happy with Aida's, but for me that was the kwappiest experience not only in Calgary, but in all Canada so far. The only place where I literally wanted to leave the infamous 25 cents tip, and barely agreed with my wife to leave a dollar (still sorry about that).
Food was ok - not a big deal, but ok. Like, really - you can go to a roadside shawarma like Cedar's on the Edmonton Trail and get something at least as good, if not better! But this place had a restaurant tag, and even if it looked like a rathole (maintenance, guys, maintenance!) there still was an expectation to get something decent. Which just did not happen in our first and last visit.
The worst part was "service"... I don't know why that girl was so nasty, maybe it was just one of those days, but she literally was ignoring us and brought food for two other tables before even attempting to take our order. Than the order took like forever to arrive - and the food was as described above, plus cold. Than she never passed by to offer anything like a dessert, or whatever, and just duly brought up a bill. Man, and we did not do anything bad to her - been cheerful and friendly as always!
The number on the bill just did not make any sense, but to hesh with that, we were happy to simply pay it and bail out - what a place, man... And we were living literally around the corner, but never ever attempted to give that place another try.
