Was hoping for a good donair and ended up with potentially the best beef donair I’ve ever had. Nice presentation. Enjoyed having it plated vs the standard soggy paper/foil wrapper mess that’s typical.

I’ve visited a number of Pita Baskets but this location was over the top! The service was amazing. The food was presented gorgeously and tasted devine! We went on Saturday late afternoon and it was steady busy. The only thing I’d wish for is a bigger dining area. I’m sure they could fill it because everything is top notch here. 🙏🏼

I’d never seen such good chemistry in a team. Their staff is communicating with each other and food comes out quick! The food was delicious! The place is always busy but the wait time is quick considering how things are run. (Reminds me of Hell’s Kitchen). I met Chef Ro. He’s a great person! You can tell he cares a lot about his product and every customer the walks in. Highly recommend!

I came in tonight to a very busy restaurant for my favourite donair fries!!! These guys were ON IT!! They were really hustling and had a good flow. Nobody seemed to be waiting very long, and the food was sooo good. Thank you!!

I purchased catering for a group of 15 and was extremely pleased with the amount and quality of the food, taste and the service we received. Food was flavorful and the presentation was amazing! We had some allergies in the group and Chef Ro was very accommodating. We would definitely order from here again!

The inside is clean and just like any donair/shawarma spot, you are greeted and staff is friendly, the food is spectacular, meat is tender and juicy, veggies are fresh and crisp, and they grill the wraps and are served on cutting boards. Best experience i have had at a middle eastern spot.

★★★★★

Large amount of food was given when I ordered the plate. I got both meats and there was plenty of both. It was made fresh when I ordered and the meat was heated soft and not chewy at all. Would recommend to all that have a craving

Ordered the chicken beef mix. The chicken is out of this world with flavour. Pita Basket is absolutely phenomenal! From the moment you step in, it s clear they truly care not only about their customers but also about the quality of the food they make. The presentation of the food is top-notch, and despite there being 12 orders ahead of us, (we came right at the rush at 6:20) the wait time was incredibly short only about 15 minutes! We ordered a medium Donair, which felt more like an extra-large portion. It was so generous that I ended up asking for a to-go box and enjoyed it the next day it still tasted amazing! This was my second visit this week to this location, and I also love their other spot in Sunridge. Thank you, Pita Basket, for your care, attention to detail, and the effort you put into everything you do. You ve earned a loyal customer!

Thank you for another wonderful meal. Best donairs in Airdrie!!

October 21, 2024

Whenever I visit Calgary, I usually go to the Pita Basket at the Sunridge location. This time, I tried the Airdrie location and was disappointed with the portion sizes compared to the price. I wouldnt recommend this location, as the food at Sunridge is much more generous. We ordered meals for our whole family, expecting the same quality, but the quantity was lacking. We paid $60 for three meals, which felt very disappointing given the smaller portions.

Two staff members came to ask how our food was and it s more of a fast food style place so that was really nice to have them do that. If you are looking for a donair I would definitely give this place a shot!

Pita Basket Airdrie isn t just a restaurant it s an experience, and it s all thanks to the incredible Chef Ro. This place serves the best shawarma I ve ever had in my life, and I m not exaggerating when I say it s to die for. Every bite is packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and made with so much love and care. Whether it s the juicy, tender meat, the perfectly seasoned veggies, or the fresh, fluffy pita everything is just out of this world. It s the kind of food that you think about long after the meal is over, and you can t wait to come back for more. But what truly sets Pita Basket apart is Chef Ro himself. May Allah bless him he s an absolute legend! Every time I walk in, especially after a long day at university, Chef Ro greets me with a smile that instantly lifts my spirits. He s such a chill, down-to-earth guy, and you can tell that he genuinely cares about each and every customer. It s like visiting a friend who happens to make the best shawarma in town! His kindness and hospitality are unmatched, and it s people like him that make the world a better place. Now, about the wait times yes, sometimes it s a bit of a wait, but only during rush hours, and that s just a sign of how popular this place is. Chef Ro and his team are doing their absolute best to ensure every single dish meets the highest quality standards, and I ve got mad respect for that. Good food takes time, and it s clear they re not willing to cut corners. I d rather wait a little longer and get a meal that s made with care and precision than rush through something half-done. So, let s all be a bit more understanding and appreciate the hard work that goes into making such delicious food. The quality they deliver is well worth the wait! Chef Ro, I have so much love and respect for you, brother you re doing an amazing job, and I m so grateful for the welcoming vibe you bring. However, I have to be honest I m always disappointed when I go there and don t see you, Chef Ro. Some of the Filipino ladies who work there aren t as warm and welcoming, especially when you re not around. It would be great if you could have a chat with them about their customer service. They re not the nicest when you re not there, and it really impacts the overall experience. I truly believe that with your leadership, this can be improved, and the experience will be even better for everyone. If you re looking for the best shawarma in town, look no further than Pita Basket Airdrie. The food is to die for, and the experience Chef Ro creates is something truly special. I ll keep coming back again and again thank you, Chef Ro, for everything you do. You re the best! May Allah bless you and your business even more brother.

It was decent, but I think the quality has declined over the past few months. I d prefer actual beef instead of donair beef, which I find unappealing. A mixed plate with real beef would really improve this place. I ended up tossing half of the donair beef I got sorry, not sorry. I think Ontario has the crown for shawarma!

UPDATE : The owner immediately contacted us and refunded the order. He took the time to explain the skip open hours difference, and was clear and so thoughtful. He took the time to explain how he would talk with his staff and that an experience like this shouldnt happened again. We are all human and errors happen, I am so thankful for the quality chef Ro takes in not just his food but the hospitality side of things. Original review: Found a chunk of what looks like hard plastic or a piece of the cutting board in the middle of my large mixed wrap last night. Extremely disappointed. Tried to contact the restaurant but the phone just kept ringing. Really disappointed me and my husband used to love to eating here.

Picked up a donair for my friend who was stuck at the office late and I was dropping them dinner, the lady who served me was a bit rude to start, I asked for extra pickles, she ignored me and then asked her again and she put 1 more on, I almost walked out at this point but I didn t know of another donair place in airdrie, she seemed super annoyed with me the whole time, maybe she had a long day or maybe she treats everyone that way either way can t say I would go back. My friend said they had eaten there before and this time the beef donair had some sort of bbq tasting sauce on it which he said didn t have the last time, he said it was odd, not the best he had tried. I have eaten at the Pita basket downtown and the service is top notch and the food is good, maybe they need to train the airdrie crew

Well my son had just finished his third year in school to become a journeymen so to celebrate I asked him where he wanted to go for supper , he said PITA BASKET ! I was awwww ok.....sure you dont want to go to Montanas or something? Nope you gotta try Pita Basket he says, and man Im glad we did.After looking at the menu theres S/M/L size wraps, I was cautioned to go with the medium wrap as the large is a giant so thats what I did.Lots of different toppings plus the traditional donair toppings as well, garlic paste , sweet sauce etc.My kid suggested a Medium garlic fries to share so we went with that, a little on the expensive side but defiantly do not feel like I didnt get my moneys worth.All in all a excellent well made pita wrap stuffed with meat and fresh veggies cant go wrong well be back !

I have been going to Pita Basket at Airdrie for about 4 years now and am one of there most known customer. I only have fantastic things to say about their place. Out of all the shawarmas I have had in CANADA, this one happens to rank number 1 on my list, in terms of authenticity and quality. Chef Roe is truly amazing and puts heart into his cooking. His chicken is marinated very throughly and his saaj bread is always fresh. I also have to say that they have one of the best garlic sauce I have ever tried in THE WORLD! Other than food, their staff is amazing and always hard at work. Robin and Mina are super friendly, know my name by heart at this point and always treat my friends, my family, and I special with kindness, respect and quality customer service. I love this place very much, it s very dear to my heart, so I hope the food quality and customer experience stays as it did the first time I tried it to how it is now for rest of the days to come, inshallah.

Came here today at around 6pm for the first time as it was recommended to us by one of our friend s. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND upgrading to the cheesy donair fries. The staff was so helpful and even checked up on us as we were seated and eating (first time a shawarma place have done this btw). The way they present the V.I.P. Plate was amazing !!!

Delicious! Simply Delicious Lebanese food! Clean restaurant, friendly staff and absolutely delicious food! Vegetarian options: You can ask for a lebanese french fries sandwich. It has fries, coleslaw, ketchup and pickles. Or you can order it with fries, pickles and garlic sauce. Both are vegetarian and delicious.

**The Pita Basket in Airdrie, Alberta: A Mixed Experience** Nestled in Airdrie, Alberta, The Pita Basket seeks to carve its own niche in the tapestry of culinary establishments. Stepping inside, one can anticipate the aromas of Middle Eastern flavors, a region known for its rich, hearty meals. I opted for their large chicken salad, accentuated with an extra serving of chicken. The portion was undeniably generous, ensuring that even the hungriest of diners would find themselves satisfied. Accompanying my salad were two mango juices, which added a refreshing, albeit expected, touch to the meal. However, it s worth noting that the dining experience at The Pita Basket wasnt without its drawbacks. In the post-COVID era, it seems a common trend for establishments, especially those offering pita or shawarma delicacies, to hike their prices. The Pita Basket, unfortunately, does not diverge from this trend. The value proposition, when weighed against the cost, tilts slightly unfavorably. While the food was competent, the overall impression leaned towards the neutral. Its a reminder that sometimes, even when the ingredients are right, the recipe might not always resonate with every palate. In summation, The Pita Basket offers an experience thats worth a try for those in Airdrie. However, potential diners should be prepared for prices that reflect the post-pandemic surge rather than the inherent value of the meal. Approach with moderate expectations.

I have gone to this place more that an few times for time convenience as I work long hours and I want my food to be ready in 10 minutes or less (not hard to accomplish when it s a fast food place) EVERY time I ve been there I had to wait for over 20 minutes + so I thought I would order SkipTheDishes for a faster way .. guess what! NOPE! . An hour + to get my food! I have nothing to say about the quality of the food . But if you can t deliver in a way that we can eat take out food for convenience then you have an issue Last time I will order from you guys. Even the driver said he had to wait over 10-15 minutes after he arrived at your restaurant. We are the ones we pay your wages .. if you can t deliver/serve maybe you should not be here. Customers are becoming less and less important nowadays and its like we are the ones serving you .. very much like Airline business. You get what you get and don t get upset! Enough! We pay, you serve.

Fantastic shawarma and donair, best donair Ive had outside of Swiss Donair in Edmonton. Shawarma veggies were very fresh and the meats were seasoned to perfection. Wraps were massive for the medium but it is a little pricier than other shawarmas. You definetly get what you pay for the quality is incredible.

Too much sweet sauce and not enough garlic sauce, ruined the taste of the donair. It would have been better with more meat, seemed like too many vegetables as filler.

I CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT PITA BASKET! The food here is great! It brings out real Lebanese food, I usually go with my WHOLE family here (10 people) and we order one of the family meals. I tell you that they add such a big amount of food, its like you ordered even more, which is why this place is great for big families. The prices also are quite high, but with inflation and stuff it makes sense, Ive also met the owner before and theyre really nice! The service is also immaculate. I love watching the staff prepare our food beautifully so it looks aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes I dont even want to eat my food because of how great its decorated. This is a must go to if you want a big meal for a GREAT price! Hope this helps :D Parking: The location is great, theres tons of space outside.

Im not exaggerating when I say this may very well be the best shawarma meat Ive had in all of Canada (yet). Though nothing quite compares to the likes of back in Middle East, I was completely blown away by how fresh, juicy and DELICIOUS their chicken and donair were. Im not even a fan of donair typically since it can be so dry or chewy but this was truly out of this world, even hours later after reheating. No seriously, it was so good that I didnt even think to take a photo until Id already devoured every last bite - the small mixed wrap alone was heavy enough to be worthy of a full meal considering its size, and the price for what you get is bang on. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to our request for fries inside the wrap and this honestly was the cherry on top that most shawarma places here tend to miss. Their dill pickles were exactly the right kind and the ratio of meat to sauce can be adjusted to your liking. My only qualm would be to have the option of adding pomegranate molasses as a topping and I personally prefer saj over pita for my shawarma, but still a 10/10 meal. Overall, I highly highly recommend eating here if you want the best shawarma in town, its so worth the drive up to Airdrie.

This is a below average shawarma place. Overall the food is quite bland. Only thing that I actually enjoyed was the hummus. The beef was okay, chicken was dry and had a weird chemical taste. The meat portion was ridiculously small. I don t understand the reviews here, and I won t be back.

The meal we had was good, they don t serve massive portions like some of the best of this class and style of restaurants but it s enough for Lunch. It s in the top 3rd for quality and taste. Overall probably good for the area but not outstanding. It s the kind of place you will be happy you went with no regrets as it s probably my the best in the area and any better options are very far away.

I experienced a cancelled order through Uber Eats at the last minute and was quite frustrated. Pita Basket was helpful when I called them. I re did my order on the Pita Basket website and the experience was phenomenal. There was a small delay due to traffic in the area and the restaurant called to update me. Food was delicious as always! Order directly from the website instead of skip/uber/door dash for the best experience.
