What a delightful discovery today Aleppo Shawarma and Donair Restaurant! I always pass this restaurant when I come up to 16 Avenue NW and Centre Street to do shopping for Asian vegetables , spices and confectionary. It has always intrigued me because it says Arabic cuisine. So I finally am going to try it. It looks very appetizing. The lady was so nice and helpful. The establishment is very clean and the decor though simple and modern; their hanging art is interesting.
The chicken shawarma is delicious!!!. I ordered the medium and it is quite substantial!!! I am definitely coming back here. The medium size was more than enough.
The owner, Youssef Khalil said they took over the restaurant just before covid arrived in Alberta. So it's been an upward climb. He said they are glad to serve their customers Mediterranean Cuisine - Donairs, shawarma, Ialafel, Kafta, grilled chicken, tenderloin steak, etc. They have a special recipe for their traditional rice and an exceptional garlic sauce, sweet sauce and tahini sauce. One of their special dishes is the Aleppo fries which I will try next time. Youssef and his staff invite you to dine in , takeout or have delivered their awesome cuisine! It certainly impressed me. Be very hungry if you order the large size platters. read more
