from GoogleWhat a fantastic find this place has been just 2 mins from my work!!! Super fresh Flat bread with delicious sausage and cheese toppings, not kidding, the flavours on the meat and the overall combo, WOW! and very reasonably priced too! Will go back and try the pides and other offerings! You got me hooked people. And the couple who run it are super welcoming and friendly - you can also buy tier 1 quality olives, fruit concentrates and condiments from there. EXTREMELY UNDERRATED PLACE! don't miss out if you work around 42nd ave , btw they also have some vegetarian options
Absolutely amazing experience! You can really tell this is a family-owned business that takes pride in what they do. The meat pies were fresh, flavorful, and made with real quality ingredients. The crust was perfectly flaky and the filling was packed with flavor. On top of that, the customer service was warm and welcoming, they made us feel like regulars on our first visit. It’s great supporting a local business that genuinely cares about both their food and their customers. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, delicious meat pies!
I found this place by chance, and honestly it’s one of the best restaurants I’ve tried in Calgary. The manakeesh was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was excellent, and everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!
Came here as a recommendation from a friend, and they did not disappoint. The food here is great. The portions are very filling but also kept its authentic taste. I highly recommend the Sausage & Cheese and the Zattar & Cheese. Overall I will be back to try the other flavours. A Must try for Calgary’s Arabic and Mediterranean cuisine culture. 🙌🏻
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best manakeesh experiences I’ve honestly had! From the moment I walked in, I noticed how clean and organized the place was, and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Everything felt comfortable and well-managed. The order arrived quickly , which shows great organization and care for customers. The manakeesh was incredibly fresh, and the dough was perfectly baked — light, soft, and not too dry or too heavy. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and even the presentation was neat and appealing, showing attention to detail in every order. The service was excellent, and the staff were respectful, professional, and genuinely cared about customer satisfaction. The atmosphere is great whether you want a quick bite or a nice meal with friends and family. Honestly, this restaurant deserves the support and recognition. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves authentic Middle Eastern food and quality manakeesh. Definitely not my last visit — I’ll be coming back to try more items from the menu! 👏🔥
Amazing
Always friendly and great food for the price
The best food taste in Calgary
About Azar Bakery
Small halal Middle Eastern bakery at 5011 11 St SE in Highfield, baking za'atar, cheese, meat and spinach pies fresh from the oven.
The manakeesh is the thing to order, and the sausage and cheese and za'atar and cheese are the flavours to start with. Diners say the flatbread is light, fresh and not too dry, and the meat pies have a flaky crust with plenty of filling. The menu also has wraps such as chicken tawook, a halal pepperoni pizza and pides, so there is plenty to come back for.
The couple who run it are welcoming, and one diner found the place by chance and was glad they did. It is a good stop for a quick bite or a few pies to take home. The shop also sells olives, fruit concentrates and condiments, so you can pick up a few pantry items on the way out.
Before you go
Vegetarian options are available, and the pides are worth trying on a second visit. Diners say the orders arrive quickly and the service is friendly.
