Empire Shawarma - Donair & Falafel
Reviews of Empire Shawarma - Donair & Falafel
from GoogleI'm graduating this year and I've been coming here since grade 7. The environment is very welcoming thanks to the owner, he is a very sweet man, and the food is delicious and filling. One donair is enough to fill me up, and it is so savoury. My most favourite place to come to during high school and I plan to continue coming!!
The best food I have ever had. I have tried different shawarma places and I thought those were very good until I tried this. First bite, it tasted like the best shawarma I have ever tried. My mouth was full of flavours. Also very kind customer service.
Best discovery we've had since we moved to Calgary 3 weeks ago! Their service is friendly and their portions are awesome. Their food is mouth-wateringly good. I had their chicken platter and my hubby took their large chicken wrap. He barely finished his. I have a whole second meal left over. It was delish! The fun doesn't stop there. It's not just a restaurant, it's also a small store. They have all kinds of staple food from Lebanon. Turkish delight, Halavla, pita bread, awesome home made hummus, lots of pickled produce, honey, spices, and so much more that you'll just have to stop by and discover. Definitely will be a regular stop for us. Enjoy!
Overall the experience was overall alright and the shawarma had a nice aftertaste. The service was slightly slow, the crispy chicken shawarma wasn’t as crispy as it was in the viral add. Atmosphere was a bit underwhelming, was expecting a super friendly family experience but was a bit more of a disappointment. The experience was overall okay and the parking lot was halal but the food and service could Be improved.
Excellent falafel wrap! Fresh, flavorful, and packed with delicious ingredients. The falafel was perfectly cooked, and the service was friendly and fast. I'll definitely be coming back for another one!
First time try,delicious food, owner was very nice and welcoming
Always good food The service is decently fast And it’s a very nice little joint with exceptional people working it
By far one of the best donair places i have every been to. The person behind the counter was friendly and nice. I would gladly go there more and introduce more friends to the establishment.
Their Beef Donaire is Yum. The Staff is kind and Excellent Customer Service. The service and food is great than CB Hamburger Inn.
About Empire Shawarma - Donair & Falafel
A donair, shawarma and falafel counter on Northmount Drive NW in north-central Calgary, one of the few halal options in that part of the city.
The beef donair is the main order, and one is enough for most people. Diners call it savoury and filling. The falafel wrap is the vegetarian choice, and one visitor praised it as fresh and well cooked. The chicken platter is the bigger plate for a bigger appetite. Regulars come back for the friendly service and the owner, who is remembered as very kind.
Before you go
At busy times, allow a little extra time, and enjoy the friendly service while you wait. The room is simple and easy, a good fit for a quick meal or a takeaway. Parking is free. There is also a small shelf of Lebanese grocery staples, including pita, hummus, pickles and honey. Diners say the portions are generous and the food is full of flavour.
