    Make your own Shawarma platter with all the works and sauce.
    Pari K.

    This is easily my favourite place for donairs, shawarma, Mediterranean salads and platters. I've dined in for lunch and ordered take out numerous times. Each time the service has been outstanding, they take care to customize your order exactly how you want it. I've found Pita Grill's food and sauces to be full of flavour compared to other relevant places in Calgary. Recently, I had a party catered by them and everyone enjoyed the food. Plus, the platter presentation was delightful as it was nicely organized. My only suggestion would be for them to list the menu for party servings online. However, don't let that deter you, I had called and spoken to Yousef, who provided excellent customer service in helping me put my order together. I highly recommend them for your next party!

    I have been frequenting Pita Grill from time to time over the last year, in my neighborhood of Riverbend. Every time I went, I predictably got a falafel. I am not a vegetarian, but there is something about looking at a big cylinder of meat baking vertically, and getting carved off a slab that personally gives me the whillies, so I have declined for years. Until this week. My mom is visiting from out of town, so there has been a lot of people coming around for visits, food and a few drinks. On one particular sunny evening after work, it was pretty hot out, so nobody felt like cooking, and nobody who was over wanted the same thing, so I ended up making a few quick stops to accommodate random food requests, and a Chicken Wrap was on the request list by one of my friends at Pita Grill. My first positive comment has to be the smell..... The chicken was carved, and then thrown on the grill, and then transferred onto the wrap a few short feet away from me. Wow... the waft was delicious. A big delicious squirt of garlic sauce was applied, and it was bundled up and handed to me. Next notable comment, was that I was asked to pick up a "medium wrap". This wrap should have been called a jumbo wrap. I can only imagine what the large and jumbo wrap would look like! It was almost the size of a newborn. I kind of held it like a newborn too (only because I was juggling my purse, and other random take out items from the area). I quickly lost interest in my dinner, and I was swarming around that chicken wrap like a buzzard. I managed to fandangle myself a bite and I instantly was struck with plate envy. The meat was tender, juicy, flavorful and the garlic sauce was delightfully offensive for a good hour or two. I am now a lover of donairs/schwarmas. Good bye, Pita Grill Falafels. Helloooooo Pita Grill, Chicken Schwarmas.

    Falafel tasted very authentic - not that I would know but if I were to guess authentic this is what I would guess! They have those "spits" of meat turning around the burners which I do appreciate. Food was good. I would like it better if the had a different type of pita... maybe home made? hahah or a thinner pita? But overall I enjoyed my falafel pita :) They obviously specialize in Mediterranean food, but they also have Jamaican patties.

    They have a great product here. They just need a better system for ordering and assembling and paying. If there's a lineup, don't expect to get your food in a timely fashion. It is worth the wait when you do finally get your food.

    Garlic potatoes - perfectly done and delicious!!!

    March 2016 - I had to up them to 5 stars. The food is awesomely delicious!!! The service is efficient and friendly and their prices are fair. The chicken shawarma is my favourite. The garlic potatoes are a hit. I kind of wished I had gotten some baklava, next time I will.. :-) PS, The garlic sauce is to-die-for!

    I love this place! It's close to my office but far from home so I've been missing my lunches there since quarantine. I called today and asked if they'd pack me up everything I'd need to make them at home tonight. Huge hit with the whole family. They didn't disappoint.

    I will never not want shawarma and this is the place to get it. Falafel wraps are amazing and the prices are reasonable for the quality

    What makes this shawarma also special was the fact that they toasted the master piece as well.

    Have had lots of Shawarma in my day and some of the middle eastern foods our family likes best. We…read morestopped in for a hearty lunch and found the food absolutely average at best. I had a falafel platter which was dry, old and flavourless. The platter was mostly old rice and old potatoes. Hubby and daughter had beef donairs and described the meat as dry. My older daughter ordered butter chicken and it was dry dry dry and she found hair in it! The place has not been cleaned in a very long time and I think thats a direct reflection of how many F$&@S are given in the establishment. Won't be returning.

    So my girlfriend and I worked 3 incredibly long days up in the mountains. No cell phone service, no…read morerestaurant, no grocery stores, no nothing. Isolated from humanity. Came home exhausted, tired and hungry for some warm delicious comfort food. After a quick search for restaurants near home, we decided to order from the KING of Shawarma. Reviews seemed decent. 5 stars on FB and 4 stars on YELP. Figured, why not I'm new to Calgary and need to find some good shawarma and Mediterranean food. I order through Skip the Dishes. Food came fast. Took about 45 minutes. I specially requested for all sauces and dips to be on the side, since I've worked in the restaurant industry before I understand that food doesn't always travel well and in order to avoid soggy messy food made my request and even apologize for the inconvenience in advance. Food comes. I look at it and instantly become irritated. Everything is mixed together. And all the exact same shade of grey and brown. The skin was falling off the potatoes (and not in a good tasty way) the chicken was dry and flavourless. I can honestly say that neither mine or my roommates food was touched. Literally made me sick to my stomach looking at it. Whatever, ok things happen. I get it. I called the restaurant to complain about my order and to request either a refund or a new meal. I asked to speak to a manger, the person on the other line said he was and that he remembered packing my food. I told him it wasn't what I ordered, and that I wasn't happy. He was rude, arrogant and refused to take responsibility for the situation. He tried to blame skip the dishes for his poor work ethic. After about 3 minutes of talking to his fine outstanding young man it comes to my attention that he is in fact NOT a manger and that none are there to talk to me or deal with the situation. After all that talking, this person can't do a thing to help me. I tell him to talk to his manager and to call ME back. He agrees. Fast forward 30 minutes still no call. Nothing. So I call back. First call phone rings about 15 times then disconnects. Second call straight to voicemail. Third call he answers. Tells me the manger isn't there. I tell him I'll be by tomorrow to return this food. He shrugs off my concerns and lets me go. Well today, as much as I wanted to bring the food back and collect a refund, life got in the way and I needed to work. Still have yet to hear from a manager. I didn't even receive an apology or nothing. Wound up making freezer pizza for dinner, after only wanting shawarma from the king.
