The place looked clean and had a nice atmosphere for dine in. I ordered the shawarma sandwich. I found the chicken was pretty dry and the shawarma did not have much flavour. I heard everything getting microwaved in the back. I probably will not visit again. I did see someone with a platter and it did look like a healthy portion of food but unfortunately not very flavourful!

I ordered the chicken sharwma platter, one beef kabob and one kaftan kabob. I found the chicken to be very dry with not much flavor, it was a good size portion though. For what I ordered I thought it was expensive, the total was $43. It was nice to try a new place out but I lro won't be going back there again.

Whenever I'm working out of town (YEG) I like trying local places and was hoping to find a good shawarma place n this one definitely didn't dissapoint. I tried the mixed platter I think it's called and the chicken is prob one of the yummiest chicken I've ever tried, not an exaggeration either, the garlic sauce... I just love that. I need to find a recipe for that sauce or where I can buy it. That chicken tho... 🤤

The best pizza pie I have ever tasted in my life. I ordered the chicken with cheese and also beef with cheese pie and it was delicious. Everything is fresh and made from scratch in store. Big portions and the price is more then reasonable. The customer service is amazing and everyone is very warm and welcoming including the owner who goes above and beyond to make customers happy.

The atmosphere is good. No loud blaring music but a cultural program on the TV. The chicken shawarma plate is the biggest I have ever seen. Pita is made fresh. I found a gem!! Be sure to take the time to spend for some of the friendliest service in town.

excellent food. the portions are huge. The price is very reasonable. The food is always fresh. I love their BBQ chicken plate and lamb plate. If you go with a friend that's the best to get, as you both can share.. also under new management, and the food has gotten exponentially better. highly recommend.

I have no idea what everyone is raving about. This place is mediocre at best. The shawarma is overpriced for the amount you get, and the wrapping job was awful. My wrap well apart within seconda and was leaking. They loaded it more with onione than they did meat. It seems to me the standards for shawarma are rather low in fortmac.

Worst food ever. I have been to many shawarma locations but i thought i should try this place. I ordered a chicken shawarma platter but when i got it it looked like a food sitting for days. The vegetables were not fresh at all. The chicken was left overs idk from when. I honestly left 95% of my plate on table and walked out. There was no taste to anything they brought to me...I usually give places a chance but i really had to write this review. Terrible, very disappointed. $19 down the drain.

Very courteous service. Unfortunately, a lot of menu items werent available when we went since the morning delivery was late. However, the falafel was large and filling and not too heavy like a lot of fast food Lebanese places are. Also, the decor is nothing to write home about but at least it was cleaner than most places on the street.
