We came for lunch with our family, including three young children. Before ordering, I specifically…read moretold the server that the food for the children must not be spicy. The staff could also clearly see that we had small children with us. We ordered three platters. Two of the platters were combined together, and the quantity did not appear equivalent to two full separate platters. More importantly, all of the chicken came spicy despite my clear request. As a result, the children could not eat their meal. My seven-year-old was extremely hungry and tried eating some chicken while repeatedly drinking water because of how spicy it was. The younger children could essentially only eat some rice, which was also very dry. We then ordered an additional plate and gave the restaurant another opportunity, but that chicken was also spicy, so we returned it. What made the experience much worse was the response when I complained. Instead of apologizing or trying to resolve the problem, the staff became argumentative and defensive. I was told, "This is Pakistani cuisine; our food is spicy." I was then told that I could have ordered fries. When I explained that their own server had told us fries were unavailable, I was actually told that I should have taken my children to McDonald's. That response to a customer who had specifically requested non-spicy food for small children was completely inappropriate. I asked to speak with the owner or person responsible and was refused. They removed only the additional returned plate but still insisted that I pay for the children's platter even though it had not been prepared according to the request they accepted and the children could not eat it. We came to a restaurant expecting to feed our family. Instead, I left having to find somewhere else to feed my children, while still being required to pay for the meal. Mistakes can happen in any restaurant. What determines the quality of a business is how it handles the mistake. Unfortunately, instead of an apology and reasonable solution, we received arguing, blame and disrespect. There will not be a next visit.

When we moved to Calgary from Brampton last year, the biggest challenge we faced was finding…read moredelicious food, specifically Indian/Pakistani food. We tried few places and few of them were good, however not that great that you wanna visit them again. Some had good food but bad service. Some had good ambiance, but food and service not up to the mark. One day I was craving mutton and started searching online and found this place which had mixed reviews about service however excellent reviews about food. So decided to get take out from Faisal Kabob Hut. I ordered mutton karahi and garlic naan. Oh boy that hit the spot. It's flavourful, good quantity and prices lower than other restaurants. Plus they give complimentary small salad with every meal. I got hooked. I almost get take out from them 2-3 times a month, specially when I am craving mutton. Flavours are always spot on. Over the last few months I have tried almost everything on their menu. They don't have many veg options, mostly meat based menu but still enough veg options for our vegetarian friends. I am also fan of their ginger chicken, garlic naan, mixed kabob platter and chicken tikkas. There biryani's are okay. Overall amazing food all the time. They do have few seats to sit and eat, however I always do take out. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone!

I will be back an I recommend this restaurant to anyone. *** I went back to try the lamb which I was told was fantastic and it is. This restaurant has some unique and spectacularly flavored dishes.

Although I don't go to that market as much as Calgary Farmer's Market on Blackfoot, a trip for this food is well worth it. Because my thing is their lamb, I've not tried their other meats, but I sense you will not be let down. Invariably the meat is tender and juicy, and their reddish subtle tasting gravy hits the spot for your pita and rice. Their Turkish staff are most accommodating, and seem to know that what they are serving is just wonderful. For a mere $11 you get a big meal. In any restaurant with all the trimmings, it would be $20-40 for the same. And at this price, that you are forced to use paper plates and plastic utensils is no big sacrifice. As well, I think you can do take-out, and at home of course dine in style. As well, they have a large sister restaurant downtown on Stephen Avenue across from city hall and park: likely worth the leizurely walk from 7th Street SW along Stephen to end up famished at Anatolia... Beware... If you get a lamb shank attack, make your way speedily to this market, and slurp up these succulent juices that should bring on a loud yelp...!

The service takes some time, it definitely isn't fast food. We ordered quite a bit of food; gyro, lamb, beef, as you can see in the photo. Price is about $13/pp. Food was just okay, nothing out of the ordinary. I felt it was a bit overpriced. A bit underwhelming but satisfactory as it was quite a bit of food.

Stopped in at 8pm on a Saturday night. We were hungry and ordered platters. It came with rice,…read moresalad, bread and 2 skewers of meat- 1 beef and 1 chicken. The ground beef skewer was spicy and very tasty. The chicken was not as flavourful but still good. Hubby had the chaplee which was spicy ground beef patties. They were huge. We ended up taking the rice home and it was enough for 2 people. There's not much seating in this place and parking is slim. This is a solid place to go if you're hungry on a late night out but don't expect service. You order at the counter, pay then they call you to get your food. Overall, we knew what to expect thanks to fellow Yelpers!

The Ali Nazik was probably my favorite thing because of that garlicky buttery yogurt sauce that I just wanted to bathe all my meats in. The table loved the Lahmahcun so much that we got a second round. Super thin and crispy, and so so good eaten together with the onion, tomatoes, and lemon. And all the pita was so so pillowy soft! Also appreciated so much all the fresh veggies that accompanied everything so that it felt healthier. Great balance. Love love love. Also, not usually a criteria of mine but I really appreciated the interior too and having the little grocery area in the back. Casual, but immersive.
