Avesta Shawarma (Crowfoot)

A shawarma and donair shop in Crowfoot that replaced an earlier, stingier business in the same unit - and reviewers who used to drive to Royal Oak for a decent shawarma now stop here. Marked fully halal on the community Halal Map YYC; a downtown branch opened on 14 St SW. What to order The beef donair and the trio shawarma plate are the orders that get described in detail - well seasoned, big portions, and crispy potatoes under a heap of garlic sauce. The chicken bowl and the shawarma combo are the everyday picks. Amir, who runs the counter, is named in most reviews. The one consistent complaint is the fries: a $10 large that arrives as a handful, soggy. Good to know Open daily 11am to 10pm. Dine in or take out; good for children, step-free entrance, free parking in the Crowfoot lot. Rated 4.7 from more than 250 Google reviews.

Ordered in and holy this place delivered! The beef donair and trio shawarma plate were absolutely delicious, great portions, well seasoned. The potatoes were perfectly crispy with a heap of garlic sauce. I look forward to eating in next time.

Tonight was our first time trying Avesta, and we have mixed feelings. We ordered a large beef donair, large Falafel wrap and a large fry to split. The donair and Falafel wrap were really good but the fries were beyond disappointing. These fries were $10.45 and there was probably 1 handful of fries in the container. They were soggy and not seasoned very well. I thought for $10.45 we would have more than enough to split but I do feel ripped off. I was stunned when I opened the container. I did call them to ask how they measured their portions but was told they're busy, so they couldn't measure accurately. We probably will give it another try but definitely won't get any sides.

Outstanding experience! We ordered the chicken bowl and shawarma combo—everything was fresh, absolutely delicious, and the portions were incredibly generous. The fries and garlic sauce are a must-try. Amir provided excellent, helpful service. Amir was incredibly helpful and welcoming. This is officially our new go-to spot, and we highly recommend it!

Excellent experience at Avesta Shawarma! Amir was incredibly welcoming, took the time to chat, and prepared my meal exactly as requested. His attention to detail and outstanding customer service made the visit memorable. The food was delicious, and the overall experience was fantastic. Thank you, Amir, for going above and beyond—I’ll definitely be back!

Great flavor, generous portions, and good prices compared to other comparable shawarma places. We used to go to Jerusalem Shawarma in Royal Oak for good shawarmas because none of the ones in Crowfoot were good I'm glad the older business in this location closed (their portions were extremely low) and this new branch opened. We tried them twice, will go again, highly recommend.
