Reviews of Pita Basket Airdrie
from GoogleWe were late to the hype but this place didn’t disappoint. It was worth the hype and the drive for sure. Service was also amazing. Gemma was accommodating and very welcoming. Great service from the team! The crispy shawarma is definitely a must have! We also tried their baklava and it was amazing! This is really the place to be if you want to try the famous crispy shawarma! We will definitely come back when we are back in Calgary.
The service was excellent, and the restaurant was very clean with plenty of parking and easy access. The OG Chicken Shawarma offered a great mix of flavors. The chicken was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned, but I did regret choosing the crispy version as it was a bit too oily for my taste. We ordered the large OG Chicken Shawarma, which was very filling and satisfying, although I found it to be on the pricey side. Overall, it was a good experience with quality food and great service.
The best Pita Basket branch ever! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After finally visiting this location, we can definitely say it’s worth the hype! The food is SO good. The OG Crispy Shawarma is super flavorful, crispy, and the portion is huge! We were also surprised by how good their fries are. 🤤 The service made the experience even better. Seeing fellow Filipinos treating every customer with so much warmth and kindness is something to be proud of. 🇵🇭❤️ Amazing food, generous portions, and great service. We’ll definitely be back!
I understand why it's been so viral. I personally loved the beef donair more than chicken. I am already craving for another one after having one yesterday. Their garlic & sweet sauce is soooo perfect with it 👍 The staff is super friendly, and the shop had a great mix of regulars and out-of-towners making the trip just to try it. P.S. Do not skip the fries! 🔥🔥 Perfectly crispy. 😋
Great experience trying their viral OG chicken sharwarma. Definitely full of flavour with the crispy texture. It was juicy and perfectly balanced. Highly recommend getting all the toppings. Customer service was excellent for the casual dine it eatery. Shayn was so helpful and offered us free baklava. Will definitely visit again. Worth the drive from Calgary.
The crispy shawarma is great!!!
So we got their viral shwarma .. I see the hype about the wrap that its crispy but other than that it tasted like any other shwarma . When we got it the lady packing didn't even asked us what we want in it. All in all it was okay nothing else. And its way overpriced I don't think it was worth paying that much money .
I tried the shish wrap yesterday, and honestly, I was very disappointed. The meat was not cooked properly, and the wrap was not crispy enough at all. For $26, I expected much better quality and a much better overall experience. It definitely wasn’t worth the price. The food did not meet my expectations, For that kind of money, the quality should be much better there are better shawarma places in town dont waste your money and your time
Very disappointing experience The customer service was terrible, and one of the employees had a very rude and unpleasant attitude. As a customer, I expect to be treated with basic respect, but unfortunately, that was not the case. The way I was treated made the whole experience uncomfortable and completely ruined my visit. Good food is not enough if the customer service is this poor. Management really needs to pay more attention to how employees treat customers. I would think twice before coming back.
Absolutely lives up to the hype! I came in specifically to try their viral crispy chicken shawarma wrap, and it did not disappoint. The outside is toasted to perfection with an incredible crunch, while the inside stays juicy, flavorful, and packed with great ingredients. Excellent portion size, friendly service, and easily one of the best shawarma spots in Alberta. Highly recommend!
Very yummy
This is an exceptional experience. I've always love Shawema and tried many restaurants but this one is different and tastes really good like shawarema deservs. Encourage you to give it a try
I had a wonderful experience tonight at Pita Basket! Ari provided amazing customer service. She was the sweetest and helped my friends and I decide what to get off the menu, her recommendations were perfect! I got the Saj shawarma wrap and it was absolutely delicious!!! I am extremely happy with my visit and can’t stress enough how kind and welcoming Ari was. Will definitely come again :)
OMG what can I say about this place... Shawarma is one of my all time favorite foods. We tried the viral crispy shawarma and it was the best i have had. They were very generous on the portions and meats. The cheesy fries were so so good and addictive. This place was packed on a weekday. We will definitely be coming back!
Wow—this was some of the best shawarma I’ve ever tasted! 🤩 You can tell that Chef Ro prepares every meal professionally and with care, using delicious homemade recipes. 👨🍳 I ordered the medium crispy lamb shawarma, my friend had the medium regular chicken shawarma pictured here, and my fiancée tried the small crispy chicken shawarma. Every one of them was packed with bold, savoury flavour and beautifully presented. 🌯🔥 Inside the restaurant, you can even watch Chef Ro on TV preparing the food from scratch—from the house-made saj bread to the slowly roasted meats on the vertical shawarma spit, shaved fresh to order. 🫓🥩 Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh, and the quality really stood out. I also brought home some baklava, and it was fantastic! 🍯 It wasn’t overly sweet and had the perfect balance of crisp, flaky filo pastry and soft filling. Excellent food, fresh ingredients, generous portions, and true craftsmanship. 🙌 I’ll definitely be returning to Pita Basket!
About Pita Basket Airdrie
On Market Boulevard SE in Airdrie, Pita Basket is a halal shawarma and pita shop known for its crispy shawarma wrap. Diners say the room is clean and the parking is plentiful.
What to order
The OG Chicken Shawarma is the usual order, and the OG Crispy version is the one most people come for. The Chicken Zaatar and the Crispy Beef Donair are the alternatives. Add the cheesy fries, which fans call addictive, and ask for the pomegranate molasses sauce with the crispy wrap. Portions are large, and one diner says the Saj wrap is worth trying.
Timing and takeaway
The dinner peak is lively, so it is worth arriving early. If you order ahead online, the crispy wrap is started when you arrive, so it stays crunchy. If you are taking food home, the regular wrap travels better than the crispy one.
Diners say the staff are kind and welcoming, and that the crispy wrap is worth the hype. Diners also say the service is excellent, the portions are huge, and the team is happy to help you choose.
