    Just went to the new location that opened up on 130th ave and so far the best donair place in Calgary! I've been to over 10 different places in Calgary and halal guys by far is the winner but they don't have that in Calgary so this one takes a crown for Calgary. Their meat is super soft juicy and moist and flavourful. The amount of meat they give is mind blowing that even my husband couldn't finish his own! Their garlic seasoned potatoes are extra tasty too. Definitely would recommend this place to everyone

    Had a mixed Schwarma plate today. It was HUGE. If you come to eat here, pack your appetite. They have lots of help here, so your served in a timely fashion. Looks like a local hotspot for our men in blue/black. While I was here 2 officers came in with two more joining a few minutes later. The wraps are huge as well. My plate was filled with chicken, beef, rice, salad, and potatoes. Also comes with tahini and garlic sauce for the potatoes. The wraps come with plenty of fillings as well. They definitely aren't cheap on the meat or chicken. A plate will set you back around $15. But you'll have enough left over for another meal. Check them out if you live in the area. It may be my new place to get a Schwarma or donair.

    This place can get very busy, so please plan accordingly. I ordered the beef Shawarma & their potato on the side. The portion size was big & can be shared for 2 people, the beef itself isn't as tasty as I would have liked, but it seems that the sauces elevate the taste of the overall dish. The potato itself is tasty & the sauce made it even better. The service was fast although one of the staff member was definitely still in training during peak hours which created a backlog, but worked itself out. I would go back to try a different dish & hopefully the meat can achieve a better flavor.

    Technically not on a corner but in the middle of a strip mall, The Greek Corner is a small venue…read morethat serves traditional Greek cuisine that's as good as any in the city. Pictures of Greece adorn the walls, typical of these smaller places, nothing too exotic but a comfortable feel. Unlike many small venues, everything here is spotless and the limited number of tables are well spaced. Service is very friendly. Not as punctual as a chain might offer, but it's easy to forget that when your meal is delivered with such joy. The food is excellent, large portions at reasonable prices. We shared the Ribs and Saganaki appetizers, both excellent. My Mixed Grill Soulvaki was delicious. At first glance I didn't think I could eat it all but it was so good that I powered through. Definitely an alternative to more upscale Greek options, might be our go-to from now on.

We were pleasantly surprised eating here, the host was very friendly and the atmosphere was amazing. Small and friendly restaurant with even better food. Our first time having moussaka and doubt that it tastes the same everywhere because this was such an amazing dish. Get in there and support a local business that deserves it! You won't be disappointed...

    We were originally going to another brunch spot but they were way too busy so we looked up more…read moreoptions on Yelp and came across Porch. We saw they were going to open at 11am, and decided to try our luck by getting there right at opening since we didn't have a reservation. We got lucky and got seated right away! - PARKING - Street parking, make sure you take note of how long you paid for! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - The ambiance inside is so nice and airy, with greenery and natural light shining through. There's also a super cute swing area next to the bar area that you can sit. I really liked the overall interior design! The staff was very attentive for our large party throughout our meal. There are bathrooms downstairs as well. - FOOD - Bacon Jam Benedict ($20.00): Loved the flavor combination in this! The sweet savory maple bacon jam worked so well! We upgraded to the fried potatoes ($4.00) and they were pretty tasty. Carrot Cake French Toast ($24.00): We got one to share with the table, and I'm glad we didn't commit because it was just OK to me. I wish there was more mascarpone filling, and also a different sauce than chocolate because it didn't pair well for me. Winter Nights ($19.00): We wanted to get some greens in and chose this salad. I enjoyed the mix of greens and also the fennel salami which gave a salty bite! Truffle Parm Fries ($13.00): We also got this to share with the table and you can't go wrong with these! - OVERALL - Great brunch option if you have a small or large group! Really nice airy ambiance for a nice start to your day.

    So many 5 stars???? So decided to come here and give it a try. To my surprise, there was hardly…read moreanyone inside. They are so dead. My colleague and I walked in and we both order the same thing - Chicken Sharwarma. Their prices are more expensive compared to their competitor and the portion is a lot small as well. I don't know what's with the high rating or maybe they just went downhill all of a sudden. The chicken sharwarma: I like how the pita bread is crunchy. The meat isn't seasoned very well. I mean I had chicken sharwarma where it would really stand out. Not much strong flavor in it. I do like the fact that they are generous in sauce. I mean I am a sauce person. The portion size is smaller compared to their competitor for the price paying. Also the chicken sharwarma is very messy to eat. It drips from either end. What's really disgusting is the hair found in my colleagues chicken sharwarma. That was nasty. Well its good that they replaced his half chicken sharwarma and she did try to explain and did apologized. We came in at noon and left at 12:30. Inside the whole restaurant there was only us and another table. I don't know how they can stay in business longer if they are getting this kind of business everyday. I have walked by couple times and they were not busy.

    The food was amazing. Some of the best Mediterranean food I've had. And I've been to various…read morecountries in the Mediterranean region many times. I highly recommend it!

That works just fine for me, I'm not sure I could've had much more than a puff or two of it otherwise. It was my first sheesha experience. I was also the first one there. Cafe Med was busy and I was too afraid to go in by myself. Thank the good Yelp gods for Sarah Louise! She saved me from looking like a creep peeking in the windows for too long. The folks at Cafe Med are friendly people. Our server talked us into some Moroccan Madness (tea) while we waited for the rest of our peeps to arrive. We also snacked on some red pepper hummus and rolled up grape vine leaves (if you've never had them, they're comparable to cabbage rolls in concept... just a different flavour to them). You might also want to try the garlic pizza. As far as sheesha bars go, I have nothing else to compare this one to! So it's got three stars in my books. Mostly because the guy serving our table offered to fill our tea pots up with more hot water, took the pots away and didn't return with them until we inquired about them again. And also because, even though it's a spot to come smoke things, there were times the haze built up enough to burn my eyes for a moment or two. At any rate, the food was pretty cheap, the pipes were just over $10 each and they kept bringing new coals around. From what I gathered, not dropping ashes into the pipe is a bit of an art that Cafe Med has mastered. Overall, a positive experience!

    I've never really been a fan of shisha, but when my friends want to go this is the place to go…read more It's always a good time no matter who you're with or when you go. They have so many different flavours of shisha to choose from and each is delicious in their own way. I prefer the fruity flavours to the chocolate or coffee ones though... I find them a little more refreshing. Not only do they have great, friendly service, but they even offer a crash course for all the beginners that go there. It's not like it's hard though. You light the charcoal, and suck on the hose... pretty self-explanatory. Don't worry all you first-timers, everything that goes on inside this place is completely legal. They also have a wide selection of meals and appetizers to choose from, but I don't usually go for it. Like I said, I don't really care for the shisha so I don't feel the need to buy the food in the joint. My philosophy on shisha is, it's not giving me my nicotine fix so what's the point? I definitely understand why other people like to chill in this place though. That's exactly what you do... chill. It's a nice atmosphere with cool people.
