Pita Express
Reviews of Pita Express
from GooglePita Express is hands down one of the best spots in downtown Calgary! Not only do they make the absolute best shawarma and poutine in the area—always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done—but their customer service truly sets them apart. The staff are consistently friendly, welcoming, and go above and beyond to make you feel taken care of. Every visit is a great experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing food and outstanding service! Sal is the best!
Walking through the +15 looking for lunch the other day I came accross this sign advertising Poutine. Being a potatoes and gravy kind of guy this sign had me in line to place an order to go. The dish was well done and really enjoyed the fact that the potatoes were cut in random sized cubes rather the a standard fry cut, plenty of other great menu items incase you are not a potoatos and gravy kind of person.
Amazing halal shawarma place! We heard about them being the best ranked shawarma on the news and they didn't disappoint us at all
Honestly the best donair in the city! The owner is so kind as well! The ingredients are all fresh and flavourful
I visited Pita Express recently, and it was a fantastic experience! The shawarma is easily the best I’ve had in all of Calgary, and the hummus stands out as the absolute best in the city. The staff are incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home. After just one visit, I’m already planning to make this my regular lunch spot. If you work in downtown, this is the place to go for lunch—amazing food and top-notch service! Highly recommend Pita Express to anyone looking for a great meal at an affordable price.
Great value, taste, and service! I like their beef donair special.
About Pita Express
Up on the +15 level at 435 4 Street SW, this downtown Calgary shawarma counter is set up for the office lunch rush, with an unusual poutine of cubed potatoes on the menu. Confirm the halal status at the counter before you order.
The shawarma is the main draw, and diners single out the donair and the hummus as favourites. One visitor called the hummus the best in the city. The poutine is worth a try: the potatoes are cut into irregular cubes rather than fries, which one diner said made it stand out from the usual.
Before you go
It is a counter for quick orders rather than a sit-down restaurant, so it suits a lunch on the go. Staff are described as friendly and attentive, and the service makes it easy to become a regular weekday lunch spot. One visitor called the donair the best in the city, and another said the ingredients are always fresh and flavourful. Several other menu items are on offer if you are not in the mood for poutine.
