Pre ordered a variety of food for a staff event. They made ordering so easy and helped with selecting from the menu to feed a crowd. Everything was ready at the planned pick up time. The food was hot and fresh and it was all very delicious. We felt the prices were reasonable and would not hesitate to use them again.

A complete gem in Red Deer. Amazing food, excellent service, never disappointed. Hasan (the owner) always remembers me which is amazing. I always love to bring others to this restaurant so they can get a real taste of good quality Mediterranean food. Thanks Hasan and the team at Lava Grill.

Excellent food and service, loved the wraps we ordered and wished we had tried more things on the menu! They were mindful of my allergy and also attentive and thoughtful to our little boy.

We ordered take out here for the first time. We were super impressed with the friendly owner, Hussein. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience and meals for everyone, including my elderly parents. He put forth great effort in ensuring that everything was to everyone s liking. We all loved our meals- chicken gyros, chicken souvlaki, Greek salad, tzatziki, pita bread, and potatoes were all excellent! Portions were generous. We ll definitely be back! Oh- and they have homemade baklava as well!

Very rude behaviour and worst customer service. First time tried their chicken swarma wrap. The food was average but their services are really bad. I was totally disappointed. They dont have any professionalism. They dont treat their customer well. We were two people and placed our order before another guy who ordered the same thing. However, they served the other guy before us and when I asked about this the server just misbehaved with us. Dont know how this kind a business runs with this very poor service. In restaurant, the service also matters with the food. People should avoid this kind a place who dont want to be treated bad while spending money.

Their shawarma plates are really good (I like the mixed chicken/beef). I prefer them over donair wraps. Ask for spicy & theyll grill the meat on the flat top with sriracha sauce. Try the fattoush salad with it, it has a unique mint flavour that compliments the rest of the food

The two stars are for the food it was average. The restaurant manager was very rude and ignorant. He threw the utensils on the table and when we asked him to bring new ones because they got dirty he ignored us. The funny thing when we was about to leave he asked us how was our experience as if nothing happned! Will never go back again because respect is way important than any food in the world!

What an incredible find for our family of 4! We are visiting town from the greater Seattle, Wa area and plucked this place out of a sea of options for dinner. The chef, and I assume owner, was gracious and hospitable. The food, incredible (I know, I keep using that word but it s what keeps coming to mind while thinking about our dinner!). The chef mentioned he made everything there onsite, fresh. My husband said he wished we were living here because he d be eating there daily. I would have to agree! Thank you again for such an incredible dinner!

This is literally the best place in red deer to eat Mediterranean food whether its shawarma or donaire, burgers & fries. the best!!

Local Guide
June 22, 2024

My first time trying this restaurant, I order the chicken kabobs and the beef shwarma. Overall the food was decent, the beef and chicken were sadly very dry and over overcooked, so i would not try again. The service was also decent, the men making my food were quite curt, and were quite rude to the young lady working the register. Overall, I think the price for the quality of food is overpriced, and given the dry and overcooked proteins I dont think Id come back to try their other offerings.

My burger was good, but the service was outstanding. While I was waiting for my food I heard the lady at the cash register take multiple order, and remember them all when the cooking staff had question. She also deliver my food to my table and cleared my table when she wasn t taking orders. Amazing job, definitely excited to go back and try some of their other dishes.

Best shawarma Ive ever had. I walk in and the staff immedietly knows my order and they always make it well. I have been noticing though that the staff is starting to add the siracha sauce to the meat after it gets put on the flat top and not before. Personally I find when you cook the meat and the siracha sauce together for a while it brings out a more complex flavor which makes for an even better wrap. Regardless this place is very good and by far the best in red deer, maybe even alberta. 10/10

Vegetarian options: They offer a couple of vegetarian options as far as I am aware. I havent tried them besides having side salads but eventually I will. Parking: Shares a parking lot while also having some dedicated parking spaces. Kid-friendliness: Some kid friendly food options and the atmosphere is always friendly and enjoyable.

We don t live in Red Deer and weren t sure of many halal options in the city. We were hesitant to eat here at first but then decided to give it a try. It s not a typical, brightly lit restaurant but I guess that s because most people order take out or delivery. We had the chicken souvlaki platter, steak platter and chicken wings. The chicken was very flavourful, not dry at all and the steak, again very flavourful; was cooked to perfection. The food was absolutely fresh, delicious and cooked to perfection. Their garlic potatoes are delicious, too! The staff is welcoming and helpful. I would eat here again if I m in Red Deer again. Don t be deceived by the appearance of the restaurant. Please try the food here before dismissing it.

Great place for shwarma. We usually take out as its a small dining area and is usually cold by the door or busy by the back counter. Our favourite shwarma in town.

I have been coming to the lava grill for a couple of years now and have never been disappointed. Its generally my first choice when I think about eating out for a few reasons. Number 1 being because it is so dang delicious. Number 2 the quantity you get. Number 3 they are amazing there. Super friendly and super kind. Great customer service. All around would highly recommend. I believe this restaurant is truly a gem of red deer.

I was in tonight with my girlfriend and we had a really great meal. I sort of misunderstood the name thinking it was a spicy spot, but the chef went with it and made my meal extra spicy (because I am a spicy meatball). The cuisinne is Mediterranean We both had the chicken and beef schwarma was delicious. The potatoes were magical and the greek salad was top notch. I have seen the place a number of times but never stopped in before. Super glad I did, I will be back fo sho.

I had the beef shawarma platter and was happy with the garlic potatoes, sauce and red meat was pretty good compared to some other halaal restaurant Ive visited near red deer. Owners are polite, welcoming. Spiciness could be a bit more but I guess Ill just add that as a note next time I make an order. Though music isnt very audible near the counter I hope that I dont hear any next time I come around. Definitely a place you should try out.

I forgot to take a picture, it was so delicious, I dived right in. In house made fish with very little batter. The best taco salad Ive ever had, all served with home made Tatar and Tazikki I was so full and only got halfway through the salad. I called them up after filling my belly and thanked them. Delicious!!! I absolutely love how the owner walks around and makes sure his customers are satisfied. Fresh Food and Friendly Service. We need more of this!
