Jerusalem Shawarma (Royal Oak)
The Royal Oak Jerusalem Shawarma on 112 Ave NW - nearly 3,000 reviews, a private-event menu of chicken mandi, maklooba and roast lamb leg, and an Oreo dessert with its own fan club. Halal across the chain. What to order For a table, the shawarma plates; for an event, the mandi and maklooba spread that one host booked for a full party with baklava and black tea to finish. Adnan on the floor is named. The two one-star reviews are worth a look: a family who knew the chain from Edmonton found the mandi rice mushy and the meat off-brand, and another found the meat dry and cut too small. Good to know Open daily 10am to 10pm. Reservations and private events, good for children and groups, a children's menu, vegetarian options, coffee, step-free entrance, free parking. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. Rated 4.5 from more than 2,900 Google reviews.
