Dual KOOBIDEH Meal with an extra tomato
Amber W.

I've been ordering from POM for a few months now and this restaurant has quickly become my favorite in YEG! Their high quality food is always consistent. My go to order is the Dual KOOBIDEH Meal. I highly recommend getting an extra tomato with it! The meat is made with ground beef and lamb. It is served over rice with a fire roasted tomato, pickles and onions. It is also served with a delicious shallot dip. Everything that I've tried from POM has been amazing and I'm looking forward to visiting this restaurant in the near future!

Beef and lamb kebab

Easily the best kabobs in the city. As soon as we entered the small restaurant, the cook put in new wood charcoals onto the fire, to get it ready for our order. My 9 year old loved the spectacle of the stoking fire, plus on a frigidly cold day, the warmth was perfect. We ordered two dishes and a salad to share between two adults and a child and it was the right amount, also the most cost effective. The dishes were a little pricey but probably makes sense for the business considering inflation? The kebabs were perfectly cooked - not dried out or overly charred. The grilled chicken breast was well cooked but not as flavourful as the beef and lamb kebabs. The rice was pretty with one type saffron coloured. The rice was light and fluffy, but needed some flavour. It was nice it came with some whipped butter. The grilled tomato included with the entree was a great. A good sweet and sour counterpoint to the juicy kebabs.

BEST kababs. Charcoal-roased and delicious. Side dishes are just okay -- not a great place for vegetarians.

The Root Of Beirut - Zaatar pita pie ($2.00)

The Root Of Beirut

We went for lunch with some coworkers! I loved the coffee…read morethat was served as soon as we entered the place! The staff seemed to be friendly! Parking options were very limited around noon! Also when we went inside it seemed a bit chaotic! There were five of us, one order was wrong and the another order came at the very end when the other four dishes were already finished! The food was good and delicious! I would like to imagine it was an off day and would like to go back there again! The quality and value of the food was definitely good!

Finally was able to try Root of Beirut. Tried to eat here last year but they were randomly closed…read morefor an event. It's in a random neighbourhood area. We dropped in on a busy Saturday (12:30pm) for lunch. The inside is huge. Servers are friendly and but no water is served. Menu consists of platters, pita pies, salads, wraps, Mediterranean platters, fatayer and pizza. - Baba ghanouj ($8.00) - came with a platter of fresh, pillowy soft pitas. The baba ghanouj was creamy. Generous portion. - Tabouli ($7.00) - good portion but standard fare. - Zaatar pita pie ($2.00) - my favourite thing we ordered. Always a must when it's on the menu. - Beef shawarma ($8.00) - didn't try but our friends enjoyed it. - Trio platter ($20.00) - beef was the best of the bunch. The garlic sauce was great. Rice was a touch bland. Fattoush was okay. - Lamb mansaf ($20.00) - lamb shank was tender but plain. - Fatayer ($10.00 for 12) - you get to pick 3 flavours. We went with meat (my favourite), akawi (white brined cheese) and kishik (bulgur with milk/yoghurt). Good portions at RoB but very carb heavy.

Fattoush - Stuffed Artichoke platter

This is a new place that recently opened on Whyte. I only stumbled onto this restaurant when…read moreDorinku was closed. But I am glad I did. The atmosphere is nothing special. It is fast food looking and not many tables. However my stomach was growling so I decided to stick it out. Also, they did not have printed menus which irritated me as well as you needed to go up to order. This also irritated me. Hence why a star lost. Everything else was excellent. Nice, diverse menu with things that I have never seen before (stuffed artichokes). And the owner was incredibly friendly. I chose the House Specialty Artichoke - Tender artichoke stuffed with ground beef, fresh mushrooms, garlic, onion, and tomatoes, cooked in olive oil with house spices. Served with fragrant raisin saffron rice, crisp fattoush, and cool tzatziki. I love artichokes and rarely see them in a menu. The flavours were a symphony. Loved every bit of it. I am also fairly picky with fattoush salads (my absolutely favourite) and thiers was zippy with fresh lemon. Delicious. The rice was delicate while the tzatziki was fresh. The portion was large. My friend went with the Mixed Veggie Platter which was a vegetarian feast! Includes creamy hummus, smoky baba ghanoush, Lebanese moussaka, hearty mujaddara, and savory grape leaves (dolma). Served with warm pita bread. This also looked amazing and something I will need to try next time. (And there will be a next time). We both had food to take home. Totally reccomend it.

You'll never see High Voltage being touted by a Food Network guru, and thus by definition, it is…read moretruly a hidden Edmonton gem. Owner Telso has been slingin sammies here for decades, first as a Mr. Sub franchisée, then as an owner/operator under his own moniker, High Voltage. Why it's touted as a "coffee bar" versus just a sandwich joint, I don't know. The coffee part of the equation has never really been operational. Stick to the main sandwich menu, no deviations, no side orders, you'll be good. Telso is Edmonton's "sandwich nazi" à la Seinfield's "soup nazi". Come prepared, don't ask for substitutions, order-pay-done. Get yelled at if you hold up the lunch rush. Telso ain't got no time for that; his food is high quality with no compromise. When the bread quality and price was not up to demand, no more bread. I hold out hope for the return of toasted sandwiches, but in the meantime, the wraps are top-notch. I'm not a big fan of donair meat, but here it's great quality, not too fatty, grilled after slicing, just perfect. Has been for years! The fact that High Voltage has weathered years of economic turmoil speaks volumes. 2+ decades and COVID pandemic in, High Voltage has mellowed a bit. One long-time employee is now competently and congenially running the show. The food is still excellent quality, as it has always been. YOU GOTTA EAT (a sandwich) HERE.

You get to try a lot of different things with a great variety of options. It was warm and inviting inside. It has Turkish influence but not particulary stand out in nature. Nice enough though. Food came out in a timely manner. We started with the grape stuffed leaves which were delightful and came with a lovely cheese to spread on them. Also pita bread with hummus and red pepper spread. Both were excellent and creamy and the bread is amazing. It is made to order with the wood fire oven. Absolutely lovely. Then we had assorted meat which included meat balls, lamb chops, swordfish and chicken. All were cooked well and tasty, although besides the meatballs, the marinate seemed the same. It would be nice to get other flavours. A bulgur pilaf which was delicous and perfectly cooked and tomato-ey and a lovely dressed green salad came to accent the meat. For dessert a less sweet baklava which is perfect in my opinion and a good ending to the dinner.

I stopped by Sofra in Edmonton recently and tried their Sultan's Sofrasi for two. The pita bread…read morewas the biggest highlight. Both the dessert and the meat were quite good--the dessert for its crispiness and flavour, and the meat for the portion size and how well it was cooked. That said, the meat still tasted different compared to similar dishes I've had in Europe. The hummus was a bit too sour and not as thick as I prefer. Overall, I'd give it 8/10.

Sultan is a very relaxing place!! Middle eastern music is playing, lights are dim, and the air is filled with hookah smoke scent. Sultan offers a good variety of foods, salads, hummus and shawarmas. I took the hummus plate accompanied by warmed up pita bread - it was very delicious!!! I also drank mint tea, which was good and warming. Turkish coffee is also served, along with non-alcoholic drinks (smoothies and soft drinks), alcoholic beverages (beer, whine, shots). Finally, they have of course hookah pipes, with a long list of flavours to choose from. I decided to go with double apple flavour, but they have many other fruit and/or mint flavours. A few extra charcoal pucks are added, so you can take your time to smoke, drink and eat, while listening to music!! I look forward to coming back to try their other foods.

I worked here and it was the worst job of of my life. I had no training and no help. The owner is…read morearrogant and would rather sit there and smoke shisha than make sure his employees have an understanding of their job. I had a lot of complaints about the food and the service but i could only do so much with the non existent training i was given. On top of it all they never gave me a paycheck. P.S. there is no air conditioning and they make you pay $3 for water. I was not allowed to give people glasses of water... ridiculous
