Shawarma House never disappoints! The food is bursting with authentic flavors, and the portion sizes are generous. The staff is incredibly polite and ensures a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, the service is quick and efficient. Definitely one of the best places for shawarma lovers. Highly recommended!
Ordered the donair sandwich and on the menu it's $13.25. Ended up being charged $13.75. This to me seems deceiving and dishonest. Attached are the same photos of their menu even from 5 years ago which shows the $0.50 difference between the sandwich and shawarma as it's always been along with my “donair” wrap. The amount is not big but this bait and switch practice left a bad taste in my mouth. The food I got itself was also bland and dry.
I highly recommend these guys if you’re looking for delicious food, great portion and absolutely great service. They always play great music and they are very quick with their service. Highly recommend for a healthy lunch.
Great delicious food. Friendly and generous service. Affordable. 10/10 cross the board. Trust me if you around and you didn't try it you missing out big time. I dine in every time I pass by. Shawarma, vegetarian options and healthy
I recently tried this place that had positive reviews, but sadly, it turned out to be one of the worst shawarmas I’ve ever had in Calgary. The chicken was very bland and lacked any flavor, and even the sauces were disappointing. The portion size of chicken given for the price is a robbery. The owner was very rude and disrespectful, when I asked for extra sauce, he got grumpy and defensive, which is not a great way to run a small business like this. I wonder how this place got so many positive reviews, seems like made up. If you're looking for a good shawarma, look elsewhere. Not recommended !!!!
One other group in there at midnight, perfect grimy shawarma wrap. Came post stampede - vibes were immaculate. Staff member took a picture on our digital camera of us eating the shawarma. Great experience.
Great guy owns the place, we were doing some work for them and they made us food. Definitely delicious, very kind wanted to return the favor by writing a review about my experience. Definitely a sketchy area though, so just be careful when you come by
Amazing food!!! Owner is super friendly and welcoming. We got a free baklava and it was the best one I’ve ever had!
Service was excellent, food was delicious and hands down the best Baklava I ve ever had. Muah
Best shawarma in town.
10/10 Khaled and Dhvanil and are best employees in calgary such great guys. totally recommend
Dhvanil and khaled were the best great costume service loved it great experience and incredible service.
Amazing shawarma, great service, incredibly stoked we ended up here!
Worst Shawarma of my life.
This place is by far the best Shawarma pace in Calgary. You cant wrong. The service and the fellas working there are absolute gems! Will always recommend this place to the homies!
Best shawarma
Chelssea and I enjoyed this food. we ve been in different cities in Canada having shawarmas,and all of them were more like Burritos than actually shawarmas. Here finally we ve found shawarmas Food
Great food! Owner and employees are so friendly and welcoming! Really enjoyed it
one of the Best mixed platers I have ever had. If you havent tried it YOU NEED TO.
Had the Shawarma previously, and the beef Donair this time. Amazingly friendly staff and a fantastic Donair. They threw in a free baklava, which was also incredible. 2 experiences so far, and I can t say enough good things.
Love this place!!! Love this guy!!! Always seems to remember me! Consistently great. Highly recommend Food
Amazing shawarma!
Amazing food and amazing service, even better, open late when most needed ! Highly recommend!
The food is amazing and the worker is so kind!
Very welcoming and kind people, such great service and their shawarmas are amazing! Make sure to meet Mohammad, very kind man:)
Best shawarma in Calgary!
The falafel wrap and the baklava is very good. I appreciate the variety of toppings too. This is an excellent lunch location
Best portion sizes, the food is delicious, and the service/staff is amazing!!!
Gave the food a 1 star rating because their chicken platter was the most overpriced, bland and soul-less Mediterranean food platter I have ever had. An $18 platter had a bunch of lettuce, onions, tomatoes under the chicken with a little side of rice and more pinkish vegetable with a few pieces of pickles. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Most I have ever paid for a platter from a Shawarma place and you dont even have some kind of potatoes to go in your platter? I thought thats a staple at Shawarma places. Disgraceful food and the contents of a high priced item on their menu. Never again.
came in late at night, they were so kind and the food was amazing and very fresh. highly recommend this place!
Came in with my girlfriend late at night. The gentleman who served us, who appeared to be the owner was extremely welcoming and made us feel at home. He went above and beyond to accommodate us, cutting our shawarma in half. Food was nothing but spectacular. Will definitely visit again!
Super friendly service and delicious shawarma smells so good in there, also gave me a free backlava!
My go to donair spot!
Good Food.Good customer service. Thanks Food
Amazing Shawarma, generous portions, friendly owner!
The best shawarma in town! Excellent service from the owner. Will definitely come back :)
One if the best shawarmas I have ever had, tasty food and the service is top notch. I highly recommend to anyone craving a shawarma.
The one and only, best shawarma on town
One of the best halal restaurants in town, sweet, friendly server
The best shawarma in Calgary, delicious meat and lots of it
Ordered take out, tasted good not enough meat
Great food and great service
Stopped in after I was craving shawarma from my 3 day trek from Toronto to Calgary. BEST PORTION SIZES ever, chicken had a super nice crisp to it & the baklava was very light and flaky. Owner was very nice, good vibes :D Food
A combination of sauces, meat, and veggies under a grilled pita like no other. Every bite is an explosion of flavours that surpases the last. Amazing donairs!
I have tried better
Great place, delicious))
The owner is super friendly and generous with portions! Both the wraps and platters are great.
Gem of a place, owner is super kind and food is delicious.
The guy making the shawarma is always on the phone while preparing food, hard to communicate. The shawarma itself wasn t bad. Food
This is very nice place with really great delicious shawarma. My respect to you chief and many thanks!
We were visiting, very tasty and real sauce! Thank you ! Wow!!
I came in just before closing and asked if they were still serving which they replied that they were. I got a chicken platter, and I ve gotten this before, then gave them a tip because I felt bad that they served me right before closing. When I got home and started eating, to my upsetting surprise, they didn t give me any rice at all. I thought to myself that it would ve been nice to know that they didn t have rice or maybe already sold out before I bought this meal. If the man serving me would ve at least let me know beforehand I might ve been a bit more okay with it. But to be served chicken and veggies only was a bit of a downer to me. Personally, I won t be going back.
Stopped for a quick grab while we were in the city, and I couldnt recommend this place enough. Amazing service with generous portions and the bestest beef shawarma. Down to earth owner, so warm and welcoming!! Will definitely come back :)
Worth the price! Fresh and fulfilling Food
So delicious! The proprietor was very friendly and efficient. Portion was huge, two of us shared a mixed platter for supper and we were both very satisfied.
The best shawarma Ive eaten in my life. Strongly recommended.
Excelente food and good attention.
Excellent food and service .
Amazing spot highly recommend fresh food great size
The salad, the wrap and the baklava were all great quality. The value is great.
Good baklava
No comments.
I will drive 30 mins for this Shawarma
Chicken Shawarma was very tasty. The owner Mohmad was supper friendly and chatted with all of the customers and made them feel welcomed. The dining area has 4 tables and bar seating, clean and simple. Mostly locals, great value.
Ordered through uber eats. Chicken schwarma. Delivered within 15 min. Old stale chicken and came cold not even warm. Had to throw it out. Waste of money!
It was so delicious and satisfying. And its good for price, so huge size. Thank you for your kind :)
Just ordered on skip, a million out of ten haha, asked for extra pickles and sauce and they smothered it. Also love the amount of fresh veggies. Also got the Greek salad is your guys dressing homemade? Chefs kiss! And the little potatoes. They also gave me baklava with my order as a bonus. It was so gooddd
Well.... Sorry friend but the worst donair ive had yet. Semi warm meat, flavorless, price for quality is not good. Not donair style meat it was like a bad low quality cut of meat cut up. I cant believe someone recommended this place to me.
Tasteless food. Not good at all. It seems like reviews are all fake. The wrap had no taste totally bland. Waste of money.
Great food, great service and Mohammad does a great job in making everyone feel welcome.
Great food and genuinely great atmosphere. Try the mango juice as well, the stuff is fire
Had an amazing dinner with my friends! Guy there was super friendly! First time having shawarma and it was amazing!
Food was not fresh prepared like day before. Meat was hard to chew. Zero never again.
Went for schwarma first the time the meat was so soft and tender and the size of the wrap was huge and quality and taste was great!
Good food, excellent service. Omar is the best, very welcoming. Food
Great food and even better service! Very hospitable staff!
Sooo yummy!! My partner and I shared a chicken shawarma platter and it was SO much food. Definitely worth the $17 we were both stuffed. Also got an order of vine leafs (one of my favourite foods) and they were perfect! Thank you shawarma house!!
Great hospitality and delicious food which was ready in a timely manner.
Ordered a chicken shawarma to my hotel. What I got was not chicken. Maybe Donair meat? Not sure. Also gave me hot peppers without asking? Never have I ever gotten hot peppers on a shawarma, please ask, not everyone likes them. I couldnt eat it, garbage.
Go to Jerusalem instead.
Very great food
Nice service, food, and staff
Great food great service
Delicious genuine Lebanese shawarma. Friendly owner. Clean place. Excellent food at an excellent price! Highly recommend!
A good place. Well definitely come back)
Frickin awesome
A structurally sound shawarma. Contains every essential ingredient and more. Assembled to perfection.
Ordered the falafel sandwich. It was a wrap, but thats fine. You get a good amount for 11 dollars. However, the warp was not hot all the way through, and was not wrapped up very well.
Definitely satisfied our shawarma cravings with great taste and generous portion! The owner is super nice and made us feel welcome! A must stop in Calgary for sure!
Absolutely amazing food and service. The owner saw my pregnant wife and gave her pretty much twice the amount of food. To top that off, he gave her a free baklava and a cup of mango juice. It literally made our day!
I loved it and this is the best shawarma house in Calgary
Food was good, generous portions for a good price, and a friendly owner.
I dont remember how it tasted which basically sums up the experience
The best Shawarma! The owner is always there for lunch, he is just the best. Whenever Im in the area I stopped in for some of both.
The food is so tasty!!! I like it!
The food is really good! I really loved the food!
Come here often for the donair salad & platters - delicious food & generous portions. The owners are always working behind the counter and are so friendly. Great spot for a quick lunch!
The best shawarma I ve ever ate. Felt like I was transported across the ocean and eating this at someone s home. 100% recommend everyone that happened to be in the Calgary area to come here. You will not be disappointed !
Absolutely slaps - you MUST try the baklava
Best shawarma i had so far i would recomend it to everyone
Ordered 2 Mixed Shawarma, both were packed with meat and toppings, top tier taste and quality in both the chicken and beef. From Ontario, so always try at least one local shawarma spot on trips. Glad this was the spot chosen. Look forward to coming back when I return to Calgary
Exceptional food and service. I ordered the beef platter after a full day of fasting and it did not disappoint.
Hands Down The Best Shawarma in the city! Recommended to anyone looking for a Satisfying quick bite l. Food : 5/5
Best Shawarma in Town

Best shawarma in Calgary, always a great experience. Thanks for the platter :) Food : 5/5
My favourite place for Shawarma. Delicious and made with love. Owners are fantastic and super thoughtful. Highly recommend!
This place was great! It was my first time in Canada and I was told that I needed to get some donair. This was close to my hotel and I couldn t be happier with my experience with it! I got to pick the ingredients I wanted and it was sooooo good. I will definitely come back my next time in Calgary!
Best shawarma in town!
Wonderful service and food
Wonderful place with a warm welcome by the owner. The chicken shawarma was also excellent
Fresh, abundant, delicious! Loved the little desserts and the natural Mango juice!
It s very delicious the best service and food The costumer services is perfect Food
Mohamed gave great service. The food was delicious I had chicken platter. The quantity of meat put in the platter was more than many shawarma places.
Worthy to try
Didnt give the full order to the delivery driver, got 1 out of 3 items and was charged for all 3 Edit: they gave me a meat option instead of falafel so 0 out of 3
Very good shawarma, fresh ingredients and generous serving. Friendly owner gave a piece of baklava for dessert.
Fast, fresh, delicious and welcoming. Love this spot.
This is the best shawarma in the city hands down. Absolutely the highest quality of food no matter the time and the most friendly staff. You cannot beat this place. This is the best in the province.. by far. 11/10
Best place ever!! I m from BC and happen upon this place. Food is fantastic and the staff are so kind. Will definitely be finding my way back here next time I m in town!
Absolutely delicious food! We had the mixed platter and it was a huge portion. We are visiting from the U.S. and so glad we got to try.
Super good and tasty plus the restaurant very clean. Parking: Easy to find parking. Food : 5/5 |
Excellent
One of the best shawarmas in Canada! Definitely the best in Alberta!!
Excellent service, amazing food and great atmosphere! Thank you
The owners are always friendly and the food is amazing.
Some of the best authentic shawarma in the city with remarkable hospitality from the staff, ideal spot for lunches for anyone working downtown. 11/10
Amazing Shawarma, the falafels are always fresh and so delicious, tabouli salad is perfectly seasoned and the baklava is heavenly...then the hospitality is so genuinely friendly and inviting. I really enjoy their food and the owners are always so lovely!
Love this place. We come here all the time. Best chicken shawarma in the area, and the owner is so nice and personable. Do yourself a favour and get in here for your shawarma fix.
I randomly stumbled into this place, and I am so happy i did. The mixed shawarma was yummy, and I cant wait to try other items on the menu
Food was mediocre (overcooked rice, dry meats, and lukewarm); I threw out over half the platter because it was just so unappealing. MMA playing on the TV was annoying and didn t make for a pleasant dining atmosphere. Service was friendly, though. There are lots of good shawarma places in Calgary, but this isn t one of them.
Amazing Lebanese . Just how an Armenian likes it
Amazing garlic sauce finally something that is true to real Toum!!
Great place for a late-night shawarma and falafels,m. The food is fresh and delicious, so tasty. The owner was nice and made conversation. Would definitely recommend!
Shawarma house Has a very interesting taste to it, instead of a creamy tzatziki sauce its a more vinegary hot sauce combined with tahini, its not bad by ay means and the portions are pretty generous. 7/10
It was very tasty food and a good price. Thanks highly recommend!
If youre downtown Calgary and craving some delicious food this is the place! I LOVE there menu and go back every time Im in the city. 11/ 10 stars
This is my favourite shawarma place in Calgary. I highly recommend the chicken and beef shawarma as well as the salads and juice. The staff are awesome and very friendly always love to chat with them. The prices are also great. Highly recommend.
Worst shawrma place on earth. The food tasted really bad. The owner is so rude and disrespectful. I don t recommend it whatsoever
Top Donair and Falafel in Calgary. Really fantastic taste. The location is pristine clean.
probably the worst shawarma ive ever had
Best Swarma Ive ever had
Best shawarma ever
The best food
Always come to this lovely spot whenever hunger hits. This is the best made shawarma you can receive in the city, hands down. The care taken into making the delicious sandwich, along with the owner and staffs kind greetings, always has myself along with many others coming back for more. No lie, I highly suggest this establishment to anyone looking to try a taste of authentic Middle Eastern food!
Best in the city hands down nobody could touch my boys food I garuntee on my kids. Kind hearted souls who put love into what they do. You will not be let down. Its impossible you have to experience for yourself to understand
My go to spot. I love Shawarma House, I can count on them to take care of me and deal with me properly every time. The food and customer service is amazing. I always get the donair, one of the best I had in the city. Whenever I need my fix I always come here. Huge thanks to my folks at Shawarma House for always being on point and making me feel like a VIP customer xo.
Shwarma house is exceptional, the staff and the food exceeds expectations and has solidified this restaurant as one of the best in the city. I live in the Northwest and will drive downtown to say hi to the staff and enjoy yhis delicious food. Dont take my word for for it, try it and see!
THE BEST PLACE IN ALL OF CALGARY. SERIOUSLY. OWNER MOHAMD IS THE BEST. I HAVE BEEN GOING HERE FOR OVER A YEAR AND IT IS AMAZING EVERYTIME!
Incredible mixed shawarma, everything on it, perfection!! Awesome portion size. And the free baklava i m coming back to buy a tray.
Best place in town!!!!
Awesome place, nice and clean
Fantastic as Always, best in Calgary HANDS DOWN!!!!!
Friendly owner. Good food and fair prices for downtown.
Ordered through skipthedish. The order never came.
Great service, Mohammed was a great experience
It was a five-star dining experience for me and my brother. Visitors from Manila, we enjoyed the chicken shawarma and the chicken salad. Served with fresh ingredients and a smile. We hope to be back soon.
Shawarma House Calgary is only a block and a half from my new work place, the Shawarma/Donair food is Fantastic and the Owner Muhammed and is wife are the nicest people you could ever meet. Dan Lem
Very friendly guy, food is good and loaded. Fills you up if youre really hungry
Good price for that amount of food and it s really Delicious food
Good service
Fantastic food and an even more fantastic owner.
Fantastic food! Fresh and flavorful, manager was really cool and friendly.
Nice guys Just bought a Donair and it was cold. Not sure if their grilland warmer were down but a two minute walk home meant ice cold meat
Best shawarma ever in the whole country
Best shawarma Ive ever had,
Back home shawarma here in calgary. If you are a shawarma lover you mist visit this place
Very good ! Good customer service ! The restaurant is very clean ! The best one !
The donier platter is NOT recommended. It was cold and tasteless.
Amazing. Wonderful. Delicious. Great service.
I came from red deer to town to have fun. Place was clean, best food and great people.
Absolutely AMAZING food and GREAT customer service! The owner really cares about his customers. Would eat here again for sure!
Great place. Great customer service. Came twice and was treated well. The food was great as well.
Really great Shawrma! Great customer service and clean nice restaurant!
Mr.Mohamed made me a meal, It was Delicious and very friendly.
I came here initially when I was new to Calgary. Everyone at the store was so nice, I even ended up having a conversations with them and they actually gave me (free) Bakhlava as a welcome gift. It was a very delightful experience. Their shawarma tastes really good. Its a different kind of shawarma from what Ive had in the Middle East, but I loved it just the same.
Delicious shawarma, good quick service, wasn t busy when we went in. The lovely gentleman working- who I assume is the owner, gave me a free fresh mango juice- also delicious.
It was okay. Pretty bland to be honest. There are better Shawarma spots than this one. Light-years better.
Great place, the Chicken Shawarma is just perfect!
Beef wrap was great! The man running it was friendly. Place was clean. Will be coming again!
Shout out to the amazing customer service here
Donairs and so good. Regular for me and spicy for my sweetie. Friendly service and lovely baklava for dessert. Thank you!
Great food and good service. Definitely recommend.
So amazing! Shawarma is so good! Staff is very friendly and kind.
The employee was extremely kind, and accommodating of the allergies of some in our party. Affordable and very good taste. Definitely coming back here if I get the chance.
If you ve never had shawarma before you ve got to go to Shawarma House. From the door you re greeted with friendly smiles and a wonderful smell. Once you dive into your order you ll understand why this place should be your go to. The food is absolutely delicious and will have you filled for hours. The drinks are also excellent and a good way to wash down your meal. Overall a wonderful experience.
Great food. Excellent baklava
Excellent quality and service.
Super ok
Authentic taste of shawarma
This is the best place ever!!!!!! I love it here and you should bring all yours friends, best place ever and best staff and best food!!!!!
The best shawarma I ever had. Chicken was juicy salad was very nicely cut and very clean spot to dine in.
Really good food for price and you get a lot :) great customer service.
Amazing service and food! The chicken shawarma is terrific and the beef donair is to die for! Their debit machine was having some issues and the employee offered for me to pay next time, great guy. Good environment, 10/10 would recommend
Donair blew my touque off my head. Great taste. Mohammed, great service. Beef Shawarma. It s spelled so differently here. - Edmonton
The food was very good, and I suggest everyone to try it.
