Came here after a long day of travel and appreciated the yummy food and quick great service!

Generous portions! So great after a long day of traveling! Very kind servers that gave us extra dessert!

Honestly such delicious food and for an incredible price. The man working was also extremely friendly. The sizzler was delicious and the baklava was moist and wonderful. 10/10 recommend this little hole in the wall read more

Excellent Mediterranean food for an excellent value. I noticed a lot of people on Yelp got the shawarma, but my friend and I elected for the beef and chicken plates ($14.50 each). First of all, the portion sizes were very generous -- a single plate could easily serve two. Both meats were cut fresh from slabs of meat hanging behind the counter, so the meat was tender and juicy. Overall the plate was well-balanced and tasty -- filled with pickles, cabbage, lettuce, rice, and a hefty spoonful of hummus. They even threw in two naan breads for each order and complimentary baklava! Not to mention -- the lady behind the counter was very friendly and pleasant to interact with. The inside of the restaurant isn't anything to special -- a couple of tables, bar seating, and a TV that was playing the World Cup. More of a quick to-go spot. Very pleased! read more

Just flew in and decided to eat here as it was late and other restaurants don't allow kids after 9PM. I'm so glad we came. Food was amazing and flavorful. The owner was very kind and even though I Messed up the order, he fixed it no problems. Definitely a go to place for shawarma, and if you like spicy ask, he can add some spice. read more

Food was great. Very friendly staff. The resturante it self is very clean and tidy. Would recommend!

Food here is delicious! Owner is kind and offer great service. I hope you try it out, and ask for their homemade juice - highly recommend.

First stop after arriving in Alberta, couldn't have asked for a better quick and affordable lunch. I had the donair wrap and appreciated the toppings (including a pickle!) and the free baklava, truly hit the spot. Also enjoyed some traditional Lebanese coffee to fuel our drive to Banff, reminded me of Israeli "mud" coffee. Would come again - and might literally do so when we fly out of here at the end of our trip. Thanks Shawarma House! read more

Shawarma House - Lebanese coffee - Mediterranean Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Very good place to go for a quick bite! The meat is flavorful, decent amount of meat in the shawarma. The owner is a very nice and friendly person, he lets you try the different meat if you haven't been there before and he prepares the food just the way you prefer it. We even got a piece of baklava for free. They offer various salads, shawarma and donairs. Prices are okay as well, $11 for a chicken shawarma, $9 for a beef shawarma. read more

very good shawarma, friendly staff, clean and cheap. I highly recommend it- best value for money in calgary

I hate to do this since I'm not an expert on shawarmas but of the shawarma's I have had in my lifetime, this would have to rank as the worst. I love shawarmas and love all things mediterranean however, the Shawarma House left much to be desired. I tend to just review on taste alone with some influence on service but even if service was horrible but the food was amazing, I would frequent any establishment. I ordered a beef and chicken shawarma salad because I wanted to try a little bit of both meats. The chicken was SUPER dry and the beef was just okay. None of the sides or sauces elevated the flavors unfortunately. The owner (I'm assuming) was super friendly and nice with great service but honestly the food was below par. He offered complimentary baklava and gave a gal in the party a free falafel but I could not get past the meats being so dry. I do believe this place has potential as most of the reviews seem to be glowing. If I were to revisit this place, I'd make sure to come during peak hours where the turnover of food is more regular to avoid dry meat. read more

Went here to stop for a donair, the portions were okay although they only had 1 size. The sauce was terrible though. I asked for lots of sweet sauce and got a sauce didnt taste anything like it. The only reason its not getting 1 star is the customer service was good respectful and helpful. All in all would not go back there again read more

Always super clean. Friendly service. Exceptional food. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Great value for what you pay and get. Very highly recommended. read more

I love this place! I was visiting Calgary for just a couple of days and was looking for someplace quick to eat. I found this on Yelp, saw it had good reviews, and it wasn't too far from my hotel. I am so glad I stopped in! The owner is very kind and welcoming and the food is tasty! Great price and generous portions. I got the Chicken Shawarma (twice within the 2 days I was in Calgary...) and also tried the donair. I would highly recommend both. Bonus: he even throws in a small piece of his awesome baklava with each order. read more

My friends from Vancouver didn't have a good time eating here. Sorry Yelp, you failed us this time. AMBIENCE: It's a take-out joint open late with a small amount of seating inside and a washroom that was out-of-order. 1/2.5 FOOD: Got a donair "salad" with just lettuce, tomato, donair meat, and a bit of sweet and garlic sauce. The meat was taken out of a container on the side, so definitely not fresh. I told the guy just a bit of sauce but I think he got a bit excited and soaked my salad in sweet sauce. It was good until I realized I was eating a swamp. My friends got beef shawarma wraps. Neither could finish theirs. I don't even know if they finished half the wrap before throwing it in the trash. According to them, the meat was terrible. One said he should have added sauce to his because of how bad the meat was, while the other said when he was asked for sauce and declined, the guy still put sauce on his wrap. Not a good look. 1/2.5 read more

Easily the best shawarma in town. If you blink you might miss this tiny little spot called Shawarma House. I think its right next to a drycleaning shop or something. There's absolutely nothing special about joint itself. But enough about the shop, lets talk business and by that I mean food: Simply delicious! The owner is almost always there ready to greet you and prepare your shawarma however you like it, best of all is; you get a complimentary piece of baklava! I suggest you give the good ol' beef shawarma a try first. You wont regret it. read more

Great place to get Falafel close to downtown. We came here and got falafel sandwiches. The portion sizes are huge and you have the option to choose the additional veggies to include. Great place and very friendly owner and staff too. read more

Went yesterday and picked up tabouleh, stuffed grape leaves and a side of chicken....tabouleh was spoiled so we threw it out and the chicken was so dry. Not recommend it. read more

Fantastic shawarma! Just as good or better than any I've had in Toronto! Also, great people working there. Definitely recommend it. read more

Oh my goodness. I love this place so much. One of the best late-night eats you can find. And when I say "late," I mean, they are open until 4am on weekends. The shawarma, oh the shawarma ... I am craving it right now thanks to having to write this stupid review. But luckily for you lot, I am willing to suffer through the pangs of hunger to tell you about the glory of this place. I recommend the Mix (chicken & beef ... $10.50), with everything. Ah-bup-bup-bup! ... no, don't skip that topping! ... I said, "EVERYTHING." When you let them make your shawarma with no holds barred, the layers of flavour you will experience from that delicious wrap will envelop your tastebuds like a tasteable symphony. Savoury and spicy, sweet and sour, hot and cold, soft and cruchy ... IT IS SO GOOD. Portion is good, menu is simple, place is clean, staff are super nice ... STOP READING AND START EATING. read more

This place is just around the corner from my office, and it's the best lunch option around in my eyes. First, the service is great. I'm always greeted with a big smile and polite chatting. They remember regulars and give out free baklava to everyone. Second, the food is great. I love that they put lots of toppings on my donair instead of just sprinkling on the veggies like some places do -- lots of meat, lots of pickles, lots of sauce, lots of everything so it's actually balanced and you get all the tastes when you bite into it. They really pile it on, so it's a great deal and a filling lunch for $9. The meat is well-seasoned and I love their garlic and sweet sauces. The tabouli salad is great too, with tons of parsley. I've never had a bad donair here, and I have to limit myself to only going a couple times per week or I'd be in there every day. read more

Got the food delivered. Delicious food, great portions and a free baklava! I will definitely be ordering again! Great price for a great meal! (Lamb Donair and Beef Shawarma salad were delish!). read more

This is my go-to Shawarma place. The owner is awesome and gives you huge sized portions and free baclava dessert. Such a great place to eat. I have ventured out to other Shawarma places but have always been disappointed, none have ever topped this place. Fresh ingredients, generous portions and reasonable prices....plus free dessert! If you're looking for great shawarma, then this is the place to go. read more

I have been going here about once every two weeks or so for the past 6 months - year or so. I usually get the Chicken Shawarma Platter but I have had the donair wrap, donair platter and usually get Falafel and Baklava with my meal. Falafel: Best in Calgary I'm not a huge fan of falafel, but I tried it once as they usually give me a free falafel ball if they have them. It was amazing. Hands down the best i've ever had. Now I make sure to grab at least one or two every time, and even though I tell them to charge me for it, they never do. Baklava: Fresh and tasty every time I also usually will get a free baklava piece with my meal. They are fresh and delicious too, homemade tasting for sure. Garlic Avocado Sauce: Unique and mouthwateringly delicious This is the only place in town that I've tried that has garlic avocado sauce. It is UNBELIEVABLE. They sometimes run out, but usually they'll have it. I was skeptical at first, but now, I can't live without it. You have to try it. Portions: Awesome The portions are generous, and if you ask for extra sauce or veg, they will load it on until you're pleading, "STOP!" haha. I love that so much. Service: Super friendly and quick There are some friendly donair places in Calgary, but this one is probably one of the friendliest. Even though the owner works nearly around the clock, he always greets me with a smile and asks how i've been, etc. I haven't had any problems with my experiences here, but I get the impression that if I did, they would go out of their way to make it right. Service times are very quick too, as they re-cook the meat ahead of time and keep it hot in their serving dish. Amazing if you're short on time. Prices are competitive, atmosphere is clean (with flatscreen TVs usually tuned to sports) and bright, and the location and hours simply cannot be beat. if you haven't tried this place yet, do yourself a favour and give it a go. read more

Hubby gives this place a 5 out of 5 and I have no qualms with that. This is HIS area of cuisine + love for it as he grew up with it all his life via his step-dad. Therefore, I trust him with the authenticity, methods of cookery opinions and all that. I just go with my taste buds and past experience of trying different spots to determine a good Lebanese restaurant. The space is open and inviting with a few tables and the wraps hubby chose from were just under the $10 mark. Good deal. I found all the pricing to be decent. It was also quite clean - most importantly, the food prep area. The owner could not have been nicer and when he heard it was our first time here we got to try a few things on the house. Baklava - deelish. Honey, honey, honey, flaky but not too sweet. The felafel balls - best I have personally ever had. Large, crispy, aromatic, with a delicate center even at room temp with a wicked accompanying sauce. The chicken pita did make it still unwrapped until we got all the way home. I had a couple of bites and was wowed. All of the ingredients worked so well together meat, veg, sauces) and the whole thing was demolished in just minutes. It was beautifully made and pressed to perfection. I have a feeling we will be regular fixtures there whenever we pass through downtown. Easy to find parking when the strip mall it is located in is not too busy. Open til 11pm on weeknights, Fri and Sat = 4am!) I can only imagine how insane it would be at 3am on a weekend (enter visual). Even the drunks know where lies the good after-party food! read more

When I'm craving something at work I always end up here so it's definitely time to give them a 5 star rating. I love the service. So friendly and nice. Always welcoming. The garlic sauce is delish. I love that they give you a baklava with every purchase. Our work comes here regularly for take out lunch. read more

They make really good shawarmas here. The sandwiches are really big. If they had a better location and the decor was updated it would be a five star. Had I not seen all the good reviews I wouldn't have given it a try. The owner is very nice and friendly. read more

Had the shawarma platter at 2am and it was god awful. The sloppy hummus was garbage. I live in the neighborhood and wish there was a decent late night spot I could stumble into drink and not be disappointed. Ugh read more

A friend told me about this place, he says it looks like one of the best shawarma places in Calgary. So I gave it a try, I ordered a donair shawarma with all the vegetables. I would say is the best in town but definitely a very good one. Totally recommended read more

I haven't been to all of Calgary's shawarma restaurants, but this is my favourite to this point. Friendly owner, generous portions, and flavourful meats. I recommend the chicken/beef platter, but be prepared to either share or bring some home. Free baklava with purchase is a nice bonus. read more

Really amazing! I've been there a couple times now and the donair is consistently delicious. Definitely one of the best I've had! The service is really friendly and it's nice that it's open so late. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent food with friendly service. We got the plate Chicken Shawarma and was delicious!

Excellent food for a great price with large portions. They were very welcoming and fast. I really enjoyed my meal, I was only able to eat half of what I ordered, took the rest home to eat later. Great little restaurant, I'll be going again when I'm in the area. read more

I was downtown and saw a sign beside Circle K that said, Shwarma House, I'm always searching for new little donsir places so I decided to get lunch there. As I walked towards it I saw a while bunch of business men walking ahead of me. I thought, this must be a place that they go regularly. The place was very small but the employees were so fast I got my beef donair in about 2 minutes flat, even though there were 5 people in front of me, it was like a shwarma assembly line! The donair was big but not so big that it fell apart by then end. It was only $10 which is a great deal, I love this place. Great place, I'll definitely be back! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE. It's a short 5 minute walk from my office - how lucky I am to be in close proximity to such incredible food. Their chicken shawarma is a thing of beauty - dripping with moist delciousness. I don't know what goes in their pita spreads, but I said yes to them all and did not regret them one bit. The shawarms is of consinderable size, and it's generous enough to fill even the largest of stomachs. And it's not quantity over quality either - it's warm, filling, tender, and delicious. Everything you want. And the best surprise? Sweet, sweet baklava. If it was a bribe, it sure worked - I'll be coming back. Even if they didn't have shawarma anymore, that sweet golden baklava would be enough to guarantee my patronage. read more
