Reviews of Almira's Mediterranean Grill
from GoogleStopped in and picked up a donair wrap for lunch. Had heard so many good things and have driven past tons but first time stopping in. Found my donair place in Okotoks. Service was quick and extremely friendly. Wrap was great, nice amount of heat and the sweet sauce delicious. Will definitely be back.
Every… time… I get in my car with my takeout, at some point on the drive I say “ouoough that smells good”, it is intoxicating. Best fries in town, that oil makes ‘em soooo good and the shawarma is second to none. Great sauce. The staff are friendly and very consistent, always get a great layering of meat and veggies in the Shawarma. 10/10 Would go again
We went there for lunch on Sunday 14th September 2025. Ordered Variety and Falafel Rice Plate. Both really favorable good portion sizes. The young man was very courteous and I highly recommend this place !
We ordered a chicken Shaworma salad and a chicken shawarma plate, pick up. The two meals were picked up and on time. Very courteous young fellow. The salad and rice were ok but the chicken was very salty and strong flavoured to the point we could not finish it. I know we have had good food here in the past so would not write Amira’s off! Just the chicken could not be eaten tonight.
We looked online to see which place in Okotoks seemed to serve the best Shawarma. Based on the review, it appeared this was the place to try. It didn't disappoint. The food was incredible, full of flavors with large portions. Both young men who looked after us were personable and very helpful. I highly recommend the lamb Shawarma.
If you value authentic shwarma I highly recommend Almiras. Staff are accommodating and friendly but the food is fantastic. The home hot sauce is a great blend of spice and flavor while the meat is perfect and tender. Bravo
The young men were absolutely wonderful!!! The food was very good and decently priced. We'll be back
We can always count on fresh, authentic-tasting food and excellent service here. In fact, we make a point of grabbing a bite at Almira’s every time we’re in Okotoks. It’s definitely worth the stop!!
Went for late dinner, food wasn’t as fresh as it is during lunch hour. Also it kind of seemed like the portions and options were cut back. Meal was okay overall.
I have been going to Almira’s regularly for about 5 years. The Donair and Falafel are my favorite along with the Fatoush salad (amazing). The owner and his staff are always warm and welcoming. I have never had a negative experience. Last year we ordered platters to cater a family event. The food was delicious (family of 4 of beef and another of shawarma), portions were generous and everyone left the event raving about the food (and with a doggy bag). If you like to support local, please check out Almira’s Mediterranean Grill.
Best donair, hands down. We’ve been to both the Okotoks and Taza locations, and every visit feels the same: like family. When friends come up from Lethbridge, Almira’s is always the first stop they ask for. Almira’s is an unassuming fast-food spot that delivers a serious flavor punch with authentic Middle Eastern donairs. The vibe is casual, counter-service, and perfect for a quick but deeply satisfying meal. What really sets them apart is their commitment to freshness—everything tastes made with care, not rushed. The portions are generous, the value is excellent, and you always leave full and happy. Simple, consistent, and genuinely good food. 🌯❤️ My son went to Almira’s often in the Summer and when we went in last night, they greeted us and then said to my son “the usual”. They remembered us. 😊💗
About Almira's Mediterranean Grill
At #F, 40 Elizabeth Street in Okotoks, this counter-service grill serves halal meat, and its donair and falafel are the strong dishes on a menu built around shawarma and Lebanese favourites.
What to order
The donair is the dish regulars name first, and the falafel and the fattoush salad are the strong sides. If you want something other than chicken, the lamb shawarma is worth trying, and one diner called it full of flavour with large portions.
The falafel rice plate is a generous, satisfying choice, and regulars say the fresh, authentic-tasting food is the reason they keep coming back.
Good for
It suits a quick lunch or a takeout dinner. Platters are a good option for a family event or catering, and one customer ordered platters for a family gathering and found the portions generous. The owner and staff are warm and welcoming, and there is a patio for eating outside in good weather.
