Reviews of Samoon Bakery
from GoogleSuch a lovely delicious treat, service and friendly welcoming staff.
I hadn’t had a proper kebab since Europe, so it was nice to find a restaurant serving them. The meat was really tasty, though there seemed to be a lot more salad than meat. The staff were very kind.
The falafel I had in this restaurant is different from anywhere else. I never understood why ppl like falafel, but after my sandwich from Samoon today, now I’m addicted. Highly recommend. Great service, unique experience.
Great Falafel
We ordered the Family Platter, which came with five kebabs, meat shawarma, falafel, fried eggplant, fries, and grilled vegetables. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing. Starting with the kebabs, they were bland, tasteless, and quite dry. The meat shawarma also seemed old or overcooked. It appeared to have been reheated or fried on the griddle, which made the meat hard and dry instead of tender and juicy. The grilled vegetables were average and nothing out of the ordinary. The falafel was also just okay, with nothing particularly special about it. It would have been much better if tahini sauce had been included. Two sauces came with the order: one appeared to be amba, while the other tasted more like BBQ or HP sauce. Neither really complemented the meal well. Unfortunately, based on this experience, this will likely be the last time we order from this restaurant. I would strongly suggest that the kitchen team regularly taste the food before serving it and perhaps seek some outside feedback on the dishes. A few improvements in seasoning, freshness, cooking technique, and sauces could make a big difference.
Delicious authentic Iraqi food , nice and friendly guys I liked the gus it was made exactly like in Iraq , they also sell kaimar and daheen here
The Gus and Kabob sandwiches were good. The home made bread is very good, but they don't travel well. If you're doing take out, it's probably best to get everything separated The meat pies were good too. Preferred the plain meat pie over the fully loaded. I would definitely return for the sandwiches. Order a side of garlic sauce or hummus with these sandwiches. This sandwich would be much better with some sort of sauce
The place is very cozy, and the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The food is divine and very authentic as well! I always get Gus since it reminds me of home, and they do it amazingly well! Must try if you’re curious about Iraqi food :-) Always love it here
Called in for sandwiches to eat at this place. We came in, food wasn’t ready. Sat for around 40 minutes. Not a single greeting, older lady has a horrible attitude and refuses to take accountability. 3 different customers came in after we were there already, got their food, were seated, and already eating. It’s unfortunate, this place usually has the guy who works there that’s always happy, greets you, and respectful. At the end of the day, we customers can go elsewhere, and we simply will going forward. Nothing is worse than an owner who refuses to be accountable for customer experience. Have a great day.

About Samoon Bakery
Iraqi bakery and sandwich shop at 3131 27 St NE in Northeast Calgary, where the meat is halal, baking samoon and tanoor bread in house and filling it with kebab, gus and falafel.
What to order
The gus sandwich is made just as it is in Iraq, say diners from there, and the falafel sandwich wins over even falafel sceptics. The kebab sandwich and the meat pies are good too; regulars prefer the plain meat pie. The shop also sells kaimar and date syrup. The bread is best eaten fresh, so ask for takeout fillings packed separately, and service can be slow at busy times.
