Opens at 7:30am, the earliest of any pharmacy on this map. Good to know Opens at 7:30am on weekdays - useful before work in a way that a 9am counter is not. In the clinic.

Ca-Town Halal House 1715 Centre St NW, Calgary, AB T2E 2S3, Canada – 4.3 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery An unusual pairing on Centre Street North: halal Chinese comfort food, built around hand-made lamb dumplings, rich lamb soup and other northern Chinese Muslim (Hui) staples that are rare elsewhere in the city. This style has deep roots in China's own halal culinary tradition, and the kitchen keeps to that practice with halal meat throughout. Where to start The lamb soup is the easy entry point if Hui-style cooking is new to you. Reviewers reach for the handmade lamb shumai and the dumplings first; one notes the meat skewers run chewier than expected, which is worth knowing before you order a plate of them. Before you go Call ahead if you want a specific dish. It is a newer, smaller room and the menu is made in-house. Lunch and dinner only - no breakfast service. Good for groups, and reservations are accepted. Getting it Dine in, take out or order for delivery. 4.3 from 142 Google reviews, a young rating for a young restaurant.

The owners run it as a fully halal kitchen sourcing meat from halal butchers, though no separate certification body is listed on site. What it's for This is a hangout rather than a quick bite. Budget time to linger over chai with friends, and try the karak latte if you have never had one.

Downtown Calgary Mosque (IISC) 1009 7 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2P 1A8 – 4.8 ★ – prayer space A busy, well-loved downtown mosque run by the Islamic Information Society of Calgary (IISC). Built into the working day It is especially popular for weekday prayer breaks with the downtown office crowd - which is the practical reason it matters. Very few prayer spaces sit inside the core. Good to know 4.8 across 421 Google reviews, and 100% recommended across 16 on Facebook. Downtown, on 7th Avenue SW.
Drug + Bean Compounding Pharmacy - Killarney 3114 17 Ave SW, Calgary, AB – 4.7 ★ – delivery A compounding pharmacy on 17 Avenue SW with a café at the front, which is exactly as unusual as it sounds and is what most reviewers lead with - you can wait for a prescription over a coffee rather than in a queue. Good to know There is a café in it. Reviewers rate the dark roast, which is not a sentence that appears on any other pharmacy on this map. Compounding on site, with home delivery. Opens at 8am weekdays, and Saturday mornings 9am to 1pm. Free parking. Worth reading first Rated 4.7 from 99 Google reviews. The dissenting review is about counter manner over a records request rather than the dispensing.
Dubai Fashions & Home Decorations 4202 17 Ave SE #104, Calgary, AB T2A 0T2 – 4 ★ A Somali-owned shop on 17th Avenue SE selling hijabs and dresses alongside home decor and furniture. An International Avenue fixture By review count it is one of the more established modest-fashion shops in the International Avenue area - a stretch with several, which makes longevity worth noting. Good to know 4.0 across 64 Google reviews. At the $$ band. Clothing and furniture in one shop, so worth a look if you are furnishing as well as dressing.
Dubai Perfume Store 260300 Writing Creek Cres, Balzac, AB – 4.8 ★ – delivery A perfume shop at CrossIron Mills, just north of the city - Arabian and designer-inspired fragrances, and the closest thing in the area to a Gulf perfume counter. Reviewers name Hala, who is the reason most of the five-star reviews exist. Good to know You are meant to test. The good reviews are all the same shape: told what notes you like, handed several things to smell, no pressure. Long-lasting is the recurring verdict on what people took home. Fully step-free, with free parking - it is a mall unit. Delivers. Open seven days, from noon. Worth reading first Rated 4.8 from 43 Google reviews, and service seems to depend on who is working: the one detailed complaint is about being ignored on two visits. It is also outside Calgary, at CrossIron Mills in Balzac, so it is a trip rather than an errand.
Eden Grocery and Halal Meat 4801 26 Ave NE, Calgary, AB – 4.3 ★ Eden Grocery and Halal Meat is a butcher on 4801 26 Ave NE. Hours Monday: 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM Tuesday: 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM Wednesday: 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM Thursday: 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM Friday: 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM Saturday: 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM Sunday: 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM Good to know Takes debit and credit cards.

Elite Pharmacy 6108 Bowness Rd NW, Calgary, AB – 4.7 ★ – delivery A PharmaChoice pharmacy further along Bowness Road, staffed by a team reviewers describe by name and by voice - more than one mentions being recognised on the phone before saying who they are. Good to know Same-day delivery across the city, according to regulars. Travel and visa vaccinations. One reviewer describes the pharmacist checking the documentation met the requirements and staying past closing to monitor them afterwards. Weekdays only, 9am to 5pm. Rated 4.7 from 74 Google reviews.
Empire Shawarma - Donair & Falafel 787 Northmount Dr NW, Calgary, AB – 4.5 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal-certified shawarma, donair and falafel counter in the northwest. The platters are loaded Every platter comes with rice pilaf, potato wedges, fresh salad and hummus - that is four sides as standard, which is worth factoring in before you add anything. Good to know Halal certified rather than community-sourced. 4.5 across 204 Google reviews. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Erinwoods Pharmacy 3571 52 St SE, Calgary, AB – 4.5 ★ – delivery A PharmaChoice pharmacy on 52 Street SE in Erin Woods, the kind that phones when the prescription arrives rather than waiting for you to ask. Good to know Pill packs, prepared and delivered automatically - the thing regulars managing several medications mention first. They call when a prescription lands from the doctor and book it in. Good on over-the-counter advice, including finding the cheaper option. Delivers. Saturdays 10am to 3pm. Rated 4.5 from 52 Google reviews.
Exalan Pharmacy 2111 Centre St NW Unit 7, Calgary, AB – 5 ★ – delivery An independent on Centre Street North with a perfect score across ninety reviews - the strongest record of any pharmacy on this map. The pharmacist, Harry, is a prescribing pharmacist, so minor conditions can be assessed and treated at the counter rather than sent to a clinic. Good to know Prescribing pharmacist. He can assess and prescribe for a range of minor ailments himself. Good with children's vaccinations - parents mention it specifically. Delivers. Free parking on site. Open Saturday mornings. Hours Weekdays 9am to 6pm, Saturdays 9am to 2pm. Rated 5.0 from 90 Google reviews.
ExcelHealth Pharmacy 3916 Macleod Trl SE #100, Calgary, AB – 4.8 ★ – delivery A modern pharmacy on Macleod Trail just south of the lights, purpose-built and well lit, with online booking for vaccinations. Reviewers name the pharmacist, Wael, and several describe driving half an hour past closer options. Good to know Online vaccination booking, which removes the phone call entirely. Unhurried explanations is the most repeated praise. Parking behind the building as well as the small lot in front. Delivers. Open Saturdays 9am to 4pm. Rated 4.8 from 39 Google reviews.
Fahad Restaurant & Banquet Hall 5075 Falconridge Blvd NE #1009, Calgary, AB T3J 4L8 – 3.8 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A Pakistani halal restaurant and banquet hall in Falconridge, known for its BBQ platter and chicken biryani. It is an event space too Because it doubles as a banquet hall, the dining room has a grander, more formal feel than a typical takeout kitchen - and it is worth knowing about if you are looking for a halal venue rather than only a table. Set your expectations At 3.8 across more than 1,100 Google reviews, and 78% recommended on Facebook, opinion is genuinely mixed from a large sample. Good to know Good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Brunch through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Fairview Southeast Mosque (IISC) 230 78 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2H 1C4 – 4.8 ★ – prayer space A clean, well-maintained southeast Calgary mosque run by the Islamic Information Society of Calgary (IISC). Open 24 hours Its round-the-clock hours make it a dependable stop for prayer regardless of the time - one of only a few on this map that can say so, and the one covering the southeast. Good to know 4.8 across 149 Google reviews, and 100% recommended across 16 on Facebook. Southeast Calgary.
Faisal Kabab Hut 5120 47 St NE Unit 155, Calgary, AB T3J 4K3 – 3.9 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Pakistani kabab house in the Westwinds area with old-school decor, serving kebabs, biryani, butter chicken and BBQ platters. What to order Reviewers name the BBQ platter and the fish as the standouts. Set your expectations At 3.9 across more than 1,800 Google reviews, this is a large, established sample sitting just under four - a long-standing room with genuinely divided opinion rather than an unknown quantity. Good to know Good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Falafel King 803 1 St SW, Calgary, AB – 4.2 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A downtown Lebanese counter that has served falafel and shawarma for over 20 years, making it one of the longer-standing halal spots in the core. Halal meat is used throughout as standard Lebanese practice, without a separately listed certifying body. Longevity is the recommendation Two decades in the downtown core is a hard thing to do badly. Reviewers on holiday describe it as the best food of their trip. Check the box you are ordering One reviewer notes ordering a donair box instead of the chicken box without registering the price difference. Worth reading the board rather than ordering by memory. Good to know Inexpensive, at the $ band, good for children and groups. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. 4.2 across 44 Google reviews. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Falcon Pharmacy 5425 Falsbridge Dr NE, Calgary, AB – 3.8 ★ – delivery A weekday-only pharmacy on Falsbridge Drive, attached to a walk-in clinic. It is the one entry here that closes for the whole weekend, so it works as a regular pharmacy rather than an emergency one. Good to know Closed Saturdays and Sundays. Plan refills around it. Delivers. Reviews are split. Regulars describe flexibility, including being waited for past closing; the complaints are about phone manner. Read a few before switching. Hours Weekdays 10am to 6pm. Rated 3.8 from 81 Google reviews.
Falshire Pharmacy 265 Falshire Dr NE, Calgary, AB – 4.7 ★ An owner-run pharmacy on Falshire Drive, part of the RxHealthMed group. It has the most striking pattern of any record on this page: reviewer after reviewer says they have moved across Calgary - to the northwest, to the deep southeast - and kept it as their pharmacy anyway. Good to know The owner is the pharmacist. Reviews name Waseem in almost every entry, and describe him solving refill and compounding problems rather than referring them on. Delivers specialty medication, including biologics that have to arrive on schedule. Closed Sundays. Hours Weekdays 10am to 7pm, Saturdays 11am to 5pm. Rated 4.7 from 43 Google reviews.
Fancy Label Marlborough Mall, Calgary, AB T2A 5H5 – 4.4 ★ A modest-fashion shop inside Marlborough Mall specialising in Turkish-style abayas and hijabs, alongside Arabic and Turkish perfumes, prayer rugs and bakhoor. One of the established ones By review volume this is among the larger and longer-running Islamic clothing stores in the city - 177 Google reviews and 30 on Facebook at 98% recommended, which is a lot for a shop of this kind. More than clothing The prayer rugs, bakhoor and perfumes make it a useful stop for gifts and for the house, not only for what you wear. Good to know 4.4 on Google, at the $$ band. Inside a mall, so parking and hours follow the centre's.
Fancy Label Sunridge Sunridge Shopping Centre, 2525 36 St NE, Calgary, AB – 4.5 ★ – delivery The Sunridge branch of Fancy Label, whose Marlborough Mall shop is already on this map. Perfume is what people come out talking about - the reviews are almost entirely about being walked through the range by name, with Aqsa, Jana, Maysa and Noor all thanked by customers who came in for one bottle and left with several. Good to know They will help you match a scent. The recurring story is arriving with a discontinued or run-out favourite and leaving with something close. Cosmetics and air fresheners alongside the fragrance, and reviewers rate the makeup quality for the price. Open seven days, 10am to 8pm on weekdays, shorter on Sundays. Free parking, and it is a mall unit so the whole centre is step-free. Delivers. Rated 4.5 from 78 Google reviews.
Fatima Karahi Restaurant & Banquet Hall 55 Castleridge Blvd NE #76, Calgary, AB – 3.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Pakistani karahi restaurant and banquet hall in Castleridge, popular for beef seekh kebab and goat biryani. An event space as well It doubles as a venue for larger gatherings, which is worth knowing if you are planning something rather than just eating. Set your expectations 3.7 across more than 1,600 Google reviews, and 60% recommended on Facebook - a large sample at a soft average, so the inconsistency is the pattern rather than an off night. Good to know Good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
First Choice Meat Shop 20 Dawson Wharf Mount, Chestermere, AB – 4.8 ★ – takeout A certified halal butcher in Dawson's Landing offering fresh-cut lamb, chicken and goat, plus BBQ-ready cuts and Eid catering packs. The certification is explicit here This shop advertises itself as certified halal, which is more explicit than most of the independent butchers on this map - worth knowing if certification rather than stated practice is what you are looking for. Order Eid packs early The Eid catering packs can sell out closer to the date. Ordering ahead of the holiday rather than during it is the difference between getting them and not. Good to know BBQ-ready cuts prepared at the counter. 4.8 across 114 Google reviews.
Flame and Bite 7930 Bowness Rd NW Unit 78, Calgary, AB T3B 0H3, Canada – 4.9 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Egyptian shawarma spot in Bowness known for its homemade garlic sauce, which regulars say sets it apart from other Middle Eastern counters in the city. Halal meat is used throughout as standard Egyptian and Levantine practice, without a separately listed certifying body. Ask for extra garlic sauce It is the signature element, and it is worth having on the side. Reviewers order the Arabic shawarma bites with fries as a first visit. Good to know 4.9 across more than 220 Google reviews. The welcome is part of it - reviewers describe it as feeling less like a transaction than a counter usually does. Inexpensive, at the $ band, good for children, reservations accepted. Vegetarian options, with lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Flavours African Cuisine 2702 Centre St N, Calgary, AB T2E 2V6 – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout A Nigerian and West African restaurant that recently moved to a new Tuxedo Park location on Centre Street North, serving jollof rice, suya and other West African staples. One item to check Community-sourced as halal, but one reviewer flags the meat pie as an exception. If you are strict about sourcing, that is the specific item to ask about rather than assuming the whole menu. Why it is worth the trip West African cooking is barely represented on this map. Suya and jollof are not things you will find at the shawarma counter down the road. Good to know 4.6 across close to 800 Google reviews, and 100% recommended across 18 on Facebook. Live music, good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Brunch through dessert served. Dine in or take out.
Flipp'n Burgers 330 10 St NW, Calgary, AB – 3.9 ★ – prayer space, dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal burger joint with its own prayer space in Kensington, known for smash burgers and loaded fries rather than a Middle Eastern or South Asian menu. Halal meat is used throughout as the kitchen's stated practice, without a separately listed certification body. The prayer space is the unusual part Few burger places anywhere have one. If you want a halal burger and somewhere to pray in the same stop, this is a short list and this is on it. What to order The smash burger is the signature. Reviewers rate the burgers and the fries - one notes the small fries are larger than expected - while another found the plain cheeseburger unremarkable next to the signature. Good to know Patio seating, good for children, with vegetarian options. 3.9 on Google from a small count of 9, alongside 92% recommended across 67 Facebook reviews - the larger and more favourable sample. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Food World Halal Meat and Grocery 1916 37 Street SW, Calgary, AB – 3.8 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A neighbourhood halal butcher and grocery in Killarney, southwest Calgary. Ground to order Known for fresh halal cuts ground to order - not something a pre-packed counter can offer - alongside hard-to-find Middle Eastern spices. Good to know 3.8 across 165 Google reviews. A southwest option, where halal butchers are thin on the ground. Inexpensive, at the $ band, with delivery available.
Foodyard 45 Carrington Blvd #165, Calgary, AB T3P 1K8 – 4.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A late-night fusion fast-food spot in Carrington, open until 3am, blending South Asian flavours into burgers, poutines and rice bowls - marketed by the owners as 100% halal. When everything else has closed That is the case for it. Very few halal kitchens in Calgary are open at 3am, and fewer still in the northwest. What to order The Butter Chicken Poutine and the Gulab Jamun Shake are the most-ordered items. Good to know 4.7 across 619 Google reviews. Good for children and groups, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Forest Lawn Pharmacy 4909 17 Ave SE, Calgary, AB – 4.8 ★ – delivery A PharmaChoice pharmacy on International Avenue, in the stretch of 17 Avenue SE where much of this map's grocery and restaurant listings already sit. Small, quiet, and rarely queued - which several reviewers give as the reason they use it. Good to know Long-standing ownership. Reviews name the pharmacist, Nayel Anwer, and the owner, Farooq Jaffee, and some reviewers have been customers since it opened. Delivers. Closed Sundays, and Saturdays are a short day - 10am to 3pm. Hours Weekdays 9:30am to 6pm, Saturdays 10am to 3pm. Rated 4.8 from 13 Google reviews.
ForestLawn CommunityRx Pharmacy & Travel Clinic 4710 17 Ave SE Unit A, Calgary, AB – 4.4 ★ – delivery A CommunityRx pharmacy on International Avenue with a travel clinic attached, next door to a doctor's office - one stop for the appointment, the shots and the prescription. Good to know Travel clinic as well as routine dispensing. Fair dispensing fees and short waits, per reviewers who compare it with the chains. The hours are the complaint. It closes at 5:30pm, shuts on Sundays and on public holidays; more than one review is about arriving to a locked door rather than the service. Hours Weekdays 9:30am to 5:30pm, Saturdays 10am to 5pm, closed Sundays. Rated 4.4 from 12 Google reviews.
Freshii Sundance 15 Sunpark Plaza SE Unit 3107, Calgary, AB T2X 0M5, Canada – 4.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A Freshii franchise in Sundance offering halal-certified chicken and steak as protein options across its bowls, wraps, burritos and salads. Read this part carefully The operator is specific that the certification covers those two proteins only - not the kitchen, and not the rest of the menu. We have not been shown the certificate itself, so this is an operator-stated claim rather than one we have verified. Worth asking at the counter if shared preparation matters to you. Good to know Locally owned since 2015, with dine-in, pickup, delivery and catering. 4.7 across 574 Google reviews. Good for children, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Breakfast through dessert served.
Garden of Italy 2763 Sunridge Way NE #101, Calgary, AB T1Y 7K7 – 4.4 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A family-run Italian restaurant near Sunridge Mall serving pasta, pizza and homemade desserts like tiramisu. Halal options, not a halal kitchen This is the important distinction here. It is community-sourced as offering halal options, and reviewers flag "halal options" on the menu - so not every dish qualifies. Ask staff which items do when you order, rather than assuming the menu is halal throughout. Good to know 4.4 across more than 1,000 Google reviews, and 100% recommended across 72 on Facebook. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Go-Grill 333 7 St SW, Calgary, AB – 5 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Mongolian grill where you build your own stir-fry bowl from raw ingredients and watch it cooked on a hot grill. Halal meat is offered among the protein choices as the kitchen's stated policy, without a separately listed certifying body. Ask for help the first time Building a balanced bowl takes a little practice - staff will guide you on sauce and portion pairing, and it is worth asking rather than guessing. Reviewers describe the service as quick and the cooking as visibly fresh off the grill. Good to know Reviewers note it is one of the few grilled chicken options in the mall it sits in. Good for children and groups, with vegetarian options. Lunch and dinner served. Only 1 Google review so far, so the 5.0 is not a meaningful average yet. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Gogi Korean Kitchen 639 5 Ave SW #120, Calgary, AB – 4.9 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A downtown Korean street food restaurant, part of the Gogi BBQ Canada family, serving Korean fried chicken, rice bowls and BBQ in a clean, fast-casual setting. Confirm sourcing before you order Worth being straight about: this listing carries no explicit halal claim - no certification, and no community confirmation recorded against it. It sits on this map on the strength of the wider Gogi family. Ask at the counter rather than assuming, particularly for the BBQ and fried chicken. The rating is exceptional 4.9 across 2,200 Google reviews - among the highest on this map at that volume, whatever you conclude about sourcing. Good to know Good for groups, with vegetarian options. Breakfast through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Golden Dragon Hot Pot 30 Brentwood Common NW Unit 130, Calgary, AB T2L 1K8 – 4.5 ★ – dine-in Calgary's first halal hot pot restaurant, in Brentwood - serving halal-certified beef and lamb platters alongside prawns and mushrooms. How it works You mix and match your own hand-pulled noodles and proteins, cooked tableside in broths running from mild to spicy Sichuan. It is a social, slow meal by design. Why it matters Hot pot is one of the things halal diners in this city simply could not do until recently. Being first is the reason this one is worth the trip. Good to know 4.5 across 710 Google reviews. Good for groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Dine-in only - the format does not travel. Lunch, dinner and dessert served.
Gong Cha (Chinatown) 303 Centre St S #106A, Calgary, AB T2G 2B9 – 4.8 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery The Chinatown location of the international bubble tea chain, serving milk teas, fruit smoothies and pearl-topped drinks. What "halal" means here This is community-flagged as a halal-friendly stop rather than a certified halal kitchen. The drinks do not involve meat, and the location is community-recognised as halal-conscious - which makes it a reliable place to grab a drink after eating at one of the many halal restaurants nearby, rather than a certification claim. Popular orders The milk foam brown sugar and the oolong pearls. Good to know 4.8 across 1,000 Google reviews, and 94% recommended on Facebook. Patio seating, good for children, at the $ band. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Great Canadian Pizza & Butter Chicken Hut - Macleod 607 Macleod Trl SE, Calgary, AB – 4.5 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery The Macleod Trail location of Great Canadian Pizza & Butter Chicken Hut, part of the same halal-friendly chain as the 7th Avenue SW location on this map. Three cuisines, one roof It blends pizza with Indian dishes like butter chicken, shawarma, and Italian classics - which settles most group arguments in one order. Good to know 4.5 across around 1,100 Google reviews, and 100% recommended on Facebook - a far stronger record than the downtown branch, which sits at 2.5. Live music, good for children, with vegetarian options. Breakfast through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Great Canadian Pizza & Fried Chicken 921 7 Ave SW, Calgary, AB – 2.5 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal pizza and fried chicken spot in the downtown core, putting two North American comfort foods under one halal roof. Halal meat is used throughout as the kitchen's stated policy, without a separately listed certifying body. What it is for A handy downtown option when a group cannot agree between pizza and fried chicken, since both are on the one menu. Go in with your eyes open The rating here is 2.5, the lowest on this map. The count is only 2 Google reviews, so it is a thin sample rather than a settled verdict - but both are poor, describing service problems and an order that arrived wrong. Worth confirming your order carefully at the counter. Good to know Good for groups, with lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Green Chili Fine Indian Cuisine 1415A 17 Ave SW, Calgary, AB – 4.4 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Indian restaurant on 17th Avenue SW, part of a Calgary chain confirmed on multiple halal directories. Four cuisines on one menu The cooking blends Indian, Nepalese, Chinese and Tibetan influences - an unusually wide range, and the reason reviewers describe it as distinctive rather than another curry house. Good to know 4.4 across 995 Google reviews, and 100% recommended across 25 on Facebook. Patio seating, good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Breakfast through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Hakka Garden 6510 4 St NE, Calgary, AB – 4.1 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Chinese kitchen on 4th Street NE known for stir-fried noodles and Manchurian dishes in the Indo-Chinese Hakka style popular across Calgary's South Asian community. Halal meat is used throughout as the kitchen's stated policy, without a separately listed certification body. What to order The Manchurian dishes are the standout, ahead of the more generic noodle options. Set your expectations The reviews genuinely divide here. One party drove from Edmonton and called the trip worth it; another found it fell short of what they had hoped for. At 4.1 across 564 reviews it is the lowest-rated room in this stretch of the list - worth knowing before you make a special journey. Good to know Good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Vegetarian options, with lunch and dinner served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Haveli Sweets & Restaurant 263 Falshire Dr NE, Calgary, AB T3J 1H9 – 4.2 ★ – prayer space, dine-in, takeout, delivery A family-run Indian and Pakistani halal restaurant and sweets shop in Falshire, known for a wide variety of Indian sweets alongside mains like butter chicken, biryani and cholle bhature. Three things in one stop A sit-down halal meal, a sweets counter, and an on-site prayer space - community-confirmed. Few places on this map cover all three. Good to know 4.2 across 382 Google reviews. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Breakfast through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Haya Collection YYC 3424 27 St NE #109, Calgary, AB T1Y 5E2 – 4.9 ★ A women-owned abaya and modest wear boutique in the northeast, known for a large abaya selection alongside hijabs, shawls and oud perfumes. The styling help is the point Reviewers consistently single out the owner's personal styling help, particularly around Eid outfit shopping. If you would rather be advised than left to browse, this is the shop for it. Good to know 4.9 across 77 Google reviews - the highest-rated clothing shop on this map. At the $$ band - a boutique rather than a bargain rail.
Heather's Compounding Pharmacy & Travel Clinic 305 10 St NW Unit 104, Calgary, AB – 5 ★ – delivery A fully independent compounding pharmacy in Kensington, run by Heba, and the only pharmacy on this map open seven days a week until the evening. Everything is compounded in-house rather than ordered in, which is what reviewers keep contrasting it with. Good to know Compounds on site, not through a third party - the difference reviewers name most. Open seven days, until 7:30pm on weekdays and 7pm at weekends. Nothing else here keeps those hours. Travel clinic alongside the dispensary. Unhurried with a language barrier. One review, written partly in Korean, describes being able to ask questions without one. Delivery, curbside pickup and free parking. Rated 5.0 from more than 130 Google reviews - the largest unanimous record on this page.
Heaven Restaurant Market 1013 17 Ave SW #119, Calgary, AB – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A Venezuelan restaurant on 17th Avenue known for empanadas and the patacón sandwich - and Calgary's original 100% gluten-free restaurant. A halal option, not a halal menu Per reviewers it offers a halal chicken and beef option alongside its regular menu. That is not the same as a halal kitchen - state the requirement clearly when ordering rather than assuming the menu. Who it is for If you are cooking around coeliac disease and halal at once, that is a very short list in this city, and this is on it - subject to the check above. Good to know 4.6 across 999 Google reviews. Good for groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Breakfast through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Henzo's Cafe 30 Savanna Cres NE #2140, Calgary, AB T3J 2E9 – dine-in, takeout, delivery A new cafe in Savanna doing the modern brunch-and-espresso thing - avocado toast, matcha, latte art - in a neighbourhood that has plenty of karak but little of this. Brand new It opened in the summer of 2026 and is too new to have a Google rating yet, so the early word is community word rather than a settled reputation. On the halal status It describes itself as fully halal, which for a cafe mostly means the meat in the breakfast dishes and the absence of anything alcoholic. No separate certifying body is listed. Good to know Dinner service. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. If you go early, a review genuinely helps the next person reading this map.
Heritage Pharmacy & Travel Clinic 6005 11 St SE Unit 200, Calgary, AB – 5 ★ – delivery A pharmacy and travel clinic inside the Innovations Health Clinic on 11 Street SE, with a perfect score across nearly a hundred reviews. Reviewers name the pharmacist, Himesh, throughout. Good to know Travel consultations and vaccinations, and reviewers describe gaps in their routine vaccinations being spotted and filled the same visit. In a clinic, so the prescription is filled where it was written. Delivers. Free parking. Saturdays 10am to 2pm. Rated 5.0 from 98 Google reviews.
Hijab Essentials 260300 Writing Creek Cres Unit F11A, Calgary, AB T4A 0X8 – 5 ★ A small hijab, abaya and scarf shop inside New Horizon Mall on the city's northern edge - previously known as Beauty & Hijab Corner, so an older listing may use that name. Personal service Reviewers highlight friendly, personal help from the owner, which is the advantage a small shop has over a rail in a larger store. Good to know 5.0 across 8 Google reviews - a perfect score, but from a small enough sample that it should be read as encouraging rather than settled. Affordable, at the $ band. On the northern edge of the city, so worth combining with another errand out that way.
Holy Shakes Calgary 10474 Cityscape Dr NE Unit 914, Calgary, AB T3N 2A8 – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A dessert cafe and fusion eatery in Cityscape built around over-the-top milkshakes and freakshakes, alongside Indian-inspired burgers, kathi rolls and loaded fries - halal throughout. The shakes are the point They are the main draw. On the savoury side the Chowmein Burger and the Butter Chicken Poutine are the standouts - neither of which you will find at a conventional dessert cafe. Plan on takeout Seating is limited, so it is an easier stop for takeout than a long sit-down visit. Good to know 4.6 across close to 1,800 Google reviews. Good for children and groups, with vegetarian options. Brunch through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.

Lunch and dinner specials, butter chicken and biryani. Confirm sourcing with staff Community-sourced as halal, with no reviewers mentioning halal specifically.

The attached halal butcher supplies the kitchen directly, so the meat cooked and the meat sold are one and the same - though no separate certifying body is listed.

Known for Middle Eastern dishes like chicken biryani in a modern, open-concept space. Set your expectations At 3.5 across 921 Google reviews, this is one of the softer ratings on this map from a large sample - the inconsistency is established rather than incidental.

The restaurant states it is fully halal throughout, though it does not list an outside certifying body.

That combination is genuinely rare in Calgary. What to order The kala vuna if you have not had Bangladeshi cooking before - a good introduction to the cuisine's deeper, spice-forward flavours.

Reviews mention deliveries arriving when promised. Hours Weekdays 8am to 6pm, Saturdays 9am to 5pm, closed Sundays. Rated 5.0 from 16 Google reviews - a perfect score, but still a young record.

Nothing Fancy hand pull beef noodle&rice 683 10 St SW Unit 109, Calgary, AB T2P 5G3 – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A small downtown noodle shop doing hand-pulled beef noodles and rice bowls, Lanzhou style - the northwest Chinese cooking that comes from the Hui Muslim community, which is why a Chinese restaurant turns up on a halal map at all. Check the wall yourself Google does not classify it as halal, and it has no website. What we have is a customer reporting that the halal certificates are hung on the wall.

Inexpensive, at the $ band, and good for children. Vegetarian options, with brunch through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. 4.7 from close to 250 Google reviews.

As a major halal chain, Osmow's sources halal meat across its locations as core brand policy, though it does not typically publish a single third-party certifying body location by location. The garlic sauce is the signature Ask for extra if you already know it, or a small side of it if this is your first time - it is assertive, and better met on your own terms.

Parsa Kabob 8906 Macleod Trail SE, Calgary, AB – 4.5 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Afghan, Persian and Turkish kebab kitchen on Macleod Trail operating alongside its own butcher and grocery counter, so the meat used in the kitchen is sourced right on site. Halal meat is used throughout as standard for Afghan and Persian cooking, with the in-house butcher rather than a separate third-party certifier. Shop while you are there The attached grocery section is worth browsing if you want to pick up halal cuts to cook at home after the meal. Few kitchens on this map let you do both in one stop. A young rating Only 42 Google reviews so far, and they are mixed: warm praise for the service alongside a report of a chapli kebab arriving cold. Worth knowing this is a newer entry without the long track record most of the kitchens around it have. Good to know Good for children, reservations accepted. Vegetarian options, with lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Pekko 227 10 St NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1V5 – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A Kensington fried-and-grilled chicken spot serving sandwiches and bowls with globally inspired flavours - Korean fried chicken, Nashville hot, Jamaican jerk. All food is certified halal, community-confirmed. Order a bowl The Pekko Bowls - basmati rice, kale salad and smoked corn salad topped with your choice of chicken - are the most-ordered item, and reviewers consistently praise the portion size for the price.

PESHAWARI KABAB HUT 55 Westwinds Crescent NE, Calgary, AB T3J 5H2, Canada – 4.2 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Pakistani restaurant in Westwinds known for chapli kabab, mutton karahi and kabuli pulao, drawing on Peshawari and broader northern Pakistani cooking. Halal meat is used throughout as standard Pakistani restaurant practice, without a separately listed certifying body. Order the mutton The mutton karahi is the richer, more intensely flavoured choice against the far more common chicken version - that is the reason to come here specifically. Good to know Live music, good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Vegetarian options, with lunch, dinner and dessert served. 4.1 across 99 Google reviews. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Pharmasave Dominion 665 8 Street SW, Calgary, AB – 4.4 ★ – delivery A downtown Pharmasave on 8 Street SW with a compounding lab, and a decade of regulars in its reviews. The story that recurs is the pharmacy staying past closing to compound something urgent and then delivering it. Good to know Compounds on site, including at short notice. Delivery and curbside pickup. A front shop as well as a dispensary - and the one poor review is about a gift card bought there, not about the pharmacy. Closed Sundays, Saturdays 10am to 4pm. Rated 4.4 from 110 Google reviews.
Pharmasave Forest Hills 5315 17 Ave SE #3, Calgary, AB – 4.7 ★ – delivery A Pharmasave at the eastern end of International Avenue, and the pharmacy on this list that reviewers most often describe using for a complicated medication list rather than a one-off prescription. Good to know Good with multiple medications. The recurring note is feeling supported when several prescriptions have to be kept in step. Delivers. Closed Sundays. Hours Weekdays 9am to 6pm, Saturdays 9am to 4pm. Rated 4.7 from 42 Google reviews.
Pharmasave Genesis Centre & Compounding Pharmacy 7555 Falconridge Blvd NE Unit 30, Calgary, AB – 5 ★ – delivery A Pharmasave with a compounding lab, in the plaza beside the Genesis Centre on Falconridge Boulevard - which makes it the closest pharmacy to the community hall, gym and mosque space that most of northeast Calgary passes through in a given week. Good to know Compounding on site. Doses and forms that are not made commercially - a liquid instead of a tablet, a strength that is not stocked - are prepared here rather than ordered in. They chase shortages. One review describes the pharmacist phoning around and calling back with a price for a drug that was out of stock across the city. Delivers, and opens at 8:30am on weekdays - early, for this list. Hours Weekdays 8:30am to 7:30pm, Saturdays 9am to 6pm, closed Sundays. Rated 5.0 from 26 Google reviews.
Pharmasave Jo's Beltline 1219 11 Ave SW, Calgary, AB – 4.8 ★ – delivery A one-pharmacist Pharmasave in the Beltline, attached to the Co-op on 11 Avenue. Reviewers describe being greeted by name after a single visit, and Opeyemi is named in most of them. Good to know Realistic pickup times. The recurring praise is being told a time and finding it ready, rather than waiting around. Open both weekend days, 1pm to 6pm. Delivery and curbside pickup. On transit, with Co-op parking. Rated 4.8 from 50 Google reviews.
Pharmasave Macleod 7500 Macleod Trl SE, Calgary, AB – 4.6 ★ – delivery A Pharmasave on Macleod Trail owned by Matthew and Veronica, with a good over-the-counter range and easy parking off a major road. Good to know Owner-run, and reviewers describe it as having a family doctor for medication questions. Good prices on over-the-counter alongside the dispensary. Free parking and an easy approach from the main roads. Delivers. Weekdays only, 10am to 6pm - closed both weekend days. Worth reading first Rated 4.6 from 107 Google reviews. One detailed low review alleges discriminatory treatment over the reviewer's accent and nationality; it stands against a long run of positive ones, and it is there to read.
Pharmasave Martindale 79 Martindale Blvd NE, Calgary, AB – 4.4 ★ – delivery A Pharmasave on Martindale Boulevard, open seven days and later than most of its neighbours. Good to know Travel testing and vaccination. Reviewers describe booking pre-travel testing around a flight date rather than being given the first available slot. Delivers. A small shop floor. Reviewers note the counter sits close to the till, so a private question is worth asking for privately. Hours Weekdays 9am to 8pm, weekends 9am to 7pm. Rated 4.4 from 36 Google reviews.
Pharmasave Montgomery 4602 Bowness Rd NW, Calgary, AB – 4.8 ★ – delivery A Pharmasave on Bowness Road in Montgomery, and one of the clearest cases on this map of a pharmacy being one person. Reviewers name Muhammad Tariq in nearly every entry, and the recurring story is somebody who walked in once for a flu shot and moved their whole family's prescriptions over afterwards. Good to know The pharmacist is the reason people come. Reviews describe him chasing a supplier when something was out of stock rather than sending you away. Delivers prescriptions. Step-free entrance. Saturday is a short day - 10am to 2pm - and it is closed Sundays. Hours Weekdays 9am to 7pm, Saturdays 10am to 2pm. Rated 4.8 from 62 Google reviews.
Pharmasave Northmount 4501 Brisebois Dr NW, Calgary, AB – 4.9 ★ – delivery A Pharmasave on Brisebois Drive in Charleswood, owner-run by Jason, and the highest-reviewed pharmacy in the northwest on this map. Reviewers describe driving twenty-five minutes past closer options to keep using it, and one relays a doctor calling him probably the best pharmacist in the city. Good to know Owner behind the counter. Nearly every review names Jason, several name John alongside him. Good with complicated, long-term regimens - a lot of these reviews are written by families managing an elderly parent's medication. Delivery and curbside pickup, with free parking on site. Hours Weekdays 9am to 6pm, Saturdays 10am to 2pm. Rated 4.9 from more than 100 Google reviews.
Pharmasave Omega 4715 88 Ave NE #1111, Calgary, AB – 4.5 ★ – delivery A Pharmasave in the Saddle Ridge commercial block on 88 Avenue, with a treatment room alongside the dispensary. Good to know Delivers. Massage therapy on site as well as the pharmacy - book that separately rather than expecting it at the counter. Closed Sundays. Hours Weekdays 9:30am to 6:30pm, Saturdays 10am to 5pm. Rated 4.5 from 11 Google reviews - a small sample.
Pharmasave Whitehorn 4525 52 St NE, Calgary, AB – 3.7 ★ – delivery A Pharmasave on 52 Street, best known locally as a vaccination stop - a large share of its reviews are people who came in for a shot rather than a prescription. Good to know Vaccinations are a routine part of what they do, and reviewers single out the pharmacist, Ahmed, for it. Delivery and curbside pickup are both offered. Phone first for vaccine stock. Supply changes daily, and several reviews are about a wasted trip rather than the service. Hours Weekdays 10am to 6pm, Saturdays 10am to 4pm, closed Sundays. Rated 3.7 from 38 Google reviews.
Pharmedic Pharmacy 4515 Macleod Trl SW Unit 101, Calgary, AB – 4.8 ★ – delivery An independent on Macleod Trail open seven days a week, from 8am on weekdays - the widest hours of any pharmacy in the southwest on this map. Good to know Open seven days, 8am to 7pm weekdays and 9am to 4pm at weekends. Fills out-of-province prescriptions. One review describes a couple passing through from BC after an accident being sorted immediately. Blister and med packs. Delivers. Worth reading first Rated 4.8 from 38 Google reviews, and the low ones share a theme: refill requests refused firmly when a prescription had run out. Worth having the renewal in hand.
Pho Daddy 1304 4 St SW, Calgary, AB T2R 0X8 – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A build-your-own-bowl Vietnamese pho shop in the Beltline: pick your broth, your protein and your toppings. Halal pho is rare here All food is certified halal, community-confirmed - and reviewers call out the halal pho specifically, because halal Vietnamese food is uncommon in Calgary. That is the reason this one is on the map rather than the broth. Good to know Reasonable prices for the portion size, at the $ band. 4.6 across more than 1,100 Google reviews. Vegetarian options, with lunch and dinner served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Pioneer Pharmacy 4302 17 Ave SE, Calgary, AB – 4.9 ★ – delivery A small pharmacy in the Nucare clinic building on 17 Avenue SE, trading online as V-Care. Recently renovated, and cheaper than the chains on the same street according to reviewers who have compared. Good to know Lower prices than the big chains is the point reviewers make most often. They help with coverage. One review describes the pharmacist explaining the Alberta Adult Health Benefit and printing the form for it - the kind of help that is not part of the job. In the clinic building, so the prescription can be filled on the way out. Delivers. Closed Sundays. Hours Weekdays 10am to 5pm, Saturdays 10am to 3pm. Rated 4.9 from 10 Google reviews - a small but unanimous record.
Pita Basket Cafe 503 6 St SW, Calgary, AB – 4.2 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A Lebanese cafe downtown serving stuffed pitas, shawarma and fresh salads, aimed at a quick but satisfying lunch. Halal meat is used throughout as standard Lebanese restaurant practice, without a separately listed certification body. The lighter order The stuffed pitas are the pick if a full shawarma platter is more than you want at midday. Corporate catering Reviewers describe ordering at short notice for a corporate event and having it hand-delivered and properly presented - worth knowing if you need halal catering downtown at speed. Good to know Patio seating, seating inside for walk-ins, and reservations accepted. Inexpensive, at the $ band, good for children, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. 4.2 from a small count of 6 Google reviews. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Pita Basket Sunridge 3221 Sunridge Way NE Unit 140, Calgary, AB – 4.3 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery The Sunridge location of Pita Basket, serving halal Lebanese shawarma wraps and platters. One of several Pita Basket locations across the city. A known quantity If you have eaten at another Pita Basket, this is the same menu - the value here is the northeast address rather than a different kitchen. Good to know 4.3 across around 1,300 Google reviews. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Breakfast through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Pita Express 435 4 St SW Ste 207, Calgary, AB – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Lebanese pita and shawarma counter downtown, keeping its meat halal throughout. What reviewers rate Fast, friendly service and daily specials - worth asking what the special is rather than ordering off the board by habit. Good to know 4.6 across 61 Google reviews - a small but positive sample. Breakfast, lunch and dinner served, with vegetarian options. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Pita King - Chestermere 100 Marina Dr, Chestermere, AB – 4.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Lebanese shawarma and donair spot on Chestermere's Marina Drive - a sister location to Pita Basket - known for garlic fries and baklava. Halal meat is used throughout as standard Lebanese restaurant practice, without a separately listed certifying body. Order the garlic fries They are a specific menu item worth having alongside a shawarma wrap rather than defaulting to a plain side. Good to know 4.7 across more than 400 Google reviews, and 100% recommended on Facebook. Inexpensive, at the $ band, good for children and groups, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Pita Nutso Shawarma 555 11 Ave SW, Calgary, AB – 4.5 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal shawarma shop in the Beltline, keeping its shawarma and bowls halal across the menu. What it is known for Generous portions and friendly, quick service - which is most of what a downtown lunch counter needs to get right. Good to know 4.5 across 672 Google reviews. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Brunch through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Pizza Bae 4604 Bowness Rd NW, Calgary, AB T3B 0B3 – 4.8 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A wood-fired halal pizza shop in Montgomery marketing itself as one of Calgary's top halal pizza spots, with 100% halal ingredients across the menu. Community-confirmed halal, and reviewers mention the halal pizza specifically. What to order The Donair Pizza and the Chipotle Chicken Pizza are the standouts - the donair one in particular is not something a conventional pizzeria offers. Good to know Gluten-free options available. 4.8 across close to 700 Google reviews. Live music, good for children, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Pizza Centre & Halal Meat Grocery 7 Westwinds Crescent NE #327, Calgary, AB – 5 ★ Pizza Centre & Halal Meat Grocery is a grocery store on 7 Westwinds Crescent NE.

Rated 5 from 11 Google reviews.
Pizzorama Chestermere 300 Merganser Dr W #106, Chestermere, AB – 4.6 ★ – takeout, delivery A halal, takeout-only pizza spot in Chestermere with an Indian-inspired twist - tandoori chicken and butter chicken pizzas. Halal meat toppings are used throughout as the kitchen's stated policy, without a separately listed certifying body. Order the butter chicken It is the one locals recommend over the more standard options - the reason to come here rather than to a conventional pizza shop. Good to know No dine-in seating - plan on takeout or delivery. 4.6 across 101 Google reviews, and 96% recommended across 26 on Facebook. Vegetarian options, with lunch and dinner served.
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen (17 Ave SW) 1304 17 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2T 0C3 – 4.5 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery The Beltline location of the Louisiana-inspired fried chicken chain, known for its Bonafide Chicken, hand-battered tenders and Cajun-spiced sides. Check the certificate on your first visit Popeyes' Canadian chicken supply is IFANCA-certified halal chain-wide, and this specific location has been confirmed halal by the local Calgary Muslim community. But certification can vary location by location, so it is worth a quick look for the halal certificate at the counter the first time you go rather than assuming it carries over. Good to know Nearly 5,000 Google reviews at 4.5 - one of the largest samples on this map, though that reflects the chain rather than the halal question. Patio seating, good for children and groups. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
PrimeCare Pharmacy & Compounding 313 17 Ave SW, Calgary, AB – 4.8 ★ – delivery A compounding pharmacy on 17 Avenue SW, and one of the few places on this map reviewers specifically name as somewhere they feel safe collecting hormone therapy. It also compounds for other pharmacies, which is a reasonable sign of what the lab can do. Good to know Compounding, including for other pharmacies. Free delivery, and they keep delivering. One reviewer moved further away and it continued at no charge. They sort out insurance problems at the counter rather than sending you to phone someone. Curbside pickup and free parking. Open Saturday mornings. Rated 4.8 from 17 Google reviews.
Raihaan Oudh 950 Arbour Lake Rd NW Unit 316, Calgary, AB – 4.9 ★ – delivery An attar and bakhoor house in Arbour Lake, run by Taher and Husain and open by appointment - phone before you go. It is the most specifically Islamic fragrance business on this map: alcohol-free attar oils, bukhur and resins to burn, and the electric burners to burn them on, rather than a wall of designer bottles. What they carry Attar oils, sold as oils rather than sprays - reviewers describe layering them as a base under a Western fragrance to make it last. Bakhoor, bukhur and resins, plus electric burners at around $50 - one of the few places in the city selling both the incense and the burner. Agarwood and musk are the scents reviewers name most, and the gift boxes get mentioned nearly as often. Good to know Call first. The listing says by appointment only and reviewers repeat it - it is not a walk-in shop. Delivers. Closed Sundays; otherwise 8am to 8pm. Rated 4.9 from 24 Google reviews.
Raja Foods Marlborough 4100 Marlborough Dr NE #5, Calgary, AB T2A 2Z5, Canada – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A Marlborough breakfast institution known for halwa puri and nihari, drawing a weekend crowd that treats it as a ritual. Halal meat is used throughout as standard for Pakistani breakfast cooking, without a separate certifying body listed. Go early at the weekend The halwa puri crowd builds fast and dishes can sell out before midday. Reviewers describe the puris as properly done, and beef keema with taftan comes up as the other order worth making. Good to know More than 2,300 Google reviews - one of the most-reviewed halal kitchens on this map, and still at 4.6. Live music, unusual for a breakfast spot. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Vegetarian options, and service running breakfast through dessert. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. Inexpensive, at the $ band.
Raja's Grill Calgary 4524 Edmonton Trl, Calgary, AB T2E 3V8, Canada – 4.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A family-run Pakistani BBQ kitchen on Edmonton Trail known for tandoori fish and charcoal-grilled meats, cooked the traditional way over open flame. The family sources halal meat as standard practice, in keeping with typical Pakistani halal cooking, rather than carrying a separate certification. Ask for it by name The tandoori fish is the dish locals request, and it is worth ordering even if you came in for kebabs. Reviewers also name the butter chicken, the biryani and the garlic naan; one calls it a new top eat in the city outright. Good to know Breakfast through dessert - an unusually wide service for a BBQ house. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Vegetarian options on the menu. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. 4.7 from more than 1,200 Google reviews, and 94% recommended across 46 Facebook reviews.
Real Canadian Pizza 55 Westwinds Crescent NE #244, Calgary, AB T3J 5H2, Canada – 4.3 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A 100% halal pizza shop in the northeast serving pizza, wings and sides - the standard North American pizza-shop menu built on halal ingredients. Halal meat toppings are used throughout as the shop's stated policy, without a separately listed certifying body. When pizza is the point Most halal options in this part of the city are South Asian or Middle Eastern. This is the one for a group that specifically wants pizza, without anyone having to check the toppings. Good to know 4.3 across 18 Google reviews - a young count. Lunch and dinner served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Rideau Pharmacy 1711 4 St SW, Calgary, AB – 4.7 ★ – delivery A family-owned pharmacy in Mission, on 4 Street SW. The reviews read like a neighbourhood noticeboard - staff thanked by first name, and more than one person describing a conversation rather than a transaction. Good to know Family owned, and reviewers draw the contrast with the chains directly. Fair prices is a recurring note, not just friendly service. Delivers. Weekdays only, 8:30am to 5:30pm - closed both weekend days. Rated 4.7 from 51 Google reviews.
Royal Canadian Pizza 2774 32 St NE, Calgary, AB – 4.2 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal pizza shop in the northeast - a Canadian pizza brand that has served the city for more than 19 years. What reviewers call out The halal pizzas specifically, alongside wings and other classic pizzeria fare. Good to know 4.2 across 356 Google reviews. Inexpensive, at the $ band, good for children, reservations accepted. Breakfast through dinner served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Royal Grill BBQ 4774 Westwinds Dr NE #320, Calgary, AB T3J 0L7 – 4.2 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A Pakistani BBQ house in the Westwinds plaza, built around charcoal-grilled kebabs and biryani - chicken biryani is the thing it advertises hardest. What we can and cannot say about the halal status The kitchen presents itself as halal - the mark is on its own menus and promotions - though no separate certifying body is named, and the restaurant's website does not mention it at all. This is the operator's own statement rather than a certificate we have seen. Good to know Inexpensive, and open late. A short walk from the Westwinds LRT, which is worth knowing if you are not driving. 4.2 across 87 Google reviews. Lunch and dinner served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Rundle Pharmacy & Travel Clinic 3735 Rundlehorn Dr NE #11, Calgary, AB – 4.5 ★ – delivery The most-reviewed pharmacy on this map by a wide margin, on Rundlehorn Drive, running a travel clinic and TB testing alongside the dispensary. Open seven days, including Sunday. Good to know Travel clinic and TB testing - the reason a lot of people come from outside Rundle. Delivers. Open until 8pm on weekdays, and Sunday mornings 10am to 2pm. Hours Weekdays 9am to 8pm, Saturdays 9am to 5pm, Sundays 10am to 2pm. Rated 4.5 from more than 230 Google reviews, which makes it the steadiest figure here.
Ruth's Chris Steak House 294, 115 9 Ave SE, 2nd Floor, Calgary, AB T2G 0P5 – 4.3 ★ – dine-in The Calgary location of the classic American steakhouse chain, at the base of the Calgary Tower. A dedicated halal menu Not an option buried in the regular menu - a separate halal menu with halal-prepared chicken, lamb and select steaks. For a chain steakhouse of this profile, that is unusual. Before you go $$$$, with reservations accepted. Good for children and groups, with lunch, dinner and dessert served. 4.3 across 427 Google reviews, and 94% recommended across 763 on Facebook - one of the largest Facebook samples on this entire map.
Saddletowne Pharmacy 72 Saddletowne Cir NE, Calgary, AB – 5 ★ A recent arrival on Saddletowne Circle, by the LRT station and the shops. It keeps the latest hours of any independent pharmacy on this map - 9am to 9pm on weekdays, and until 8pm on both weekend days - which is the difference between picking up a prescription after work and waiting until tomorrow. Good to know Open until 9pm, seven days. Nothing else in this list stays open as late. Owner-run. Reviews name the owner, Hamid, and the pharmacist, Aimen, and describe unhurried counselling rather than a queue. New, and rated accordingly - a perfect score, but from a small number of reviews so far. Hours Weekdays 9am to 9pm, weekends 10am to 8pm. Rated 5.0 from 18 Google reviews.
Safari Grill 255 28 St SE #100, Calgary, AB T2A 5K4 – 4.4 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery An East African restaurant near Forest Lawn known for mishkaki skewers, mogo and Tanzanian-style curries, in a safari-themed dining room. Ask at the counter This one is community-sourced as halal, but the restaurant does not post explicit halal signage or certification online. Worth confirming sourcing at the counter on a first visit rather than assuming. Why it is worth the trip East African cooking is barely represented on this map. Mishkaki and mogo are not things you will find at the shawarma counter down the road. Good to know 4.4 across close to 700 Google reviews, and 96% recommended across 34 on Facebook. Patio seating, good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Safari Meat Market Inc. 5010 17 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2A 0T7 – 4.7 ★ A highly-rated halal meat wholesaler and retailer on the 17 Ave SE halal corridor in Forest Lawn. Where the meat comes from Known for quality cuts and onsite service, sourced from farmers who avoid antibiotics and growth hormones - a more specific sourcing claim than most shops here make. You are spoilt for choice on this street Several halal butchers sit within a few blocks of each other along 17 Ave SE. If you are making the trip, it is worth walking the strip rather than stopping at the first one. Good to know 4.7 across 160 Google reviews. Wholesale and retail both - useful if you are buying in quantity.
Sage Hill Crossing Halal Meat & Grocery 54 Sage Hill Passage NW, Calgary, AB T3R 1J1, Canada – 4 ★ – takeout A halal meat shop and grocery in the northwest carrying fresh halal meat, fish and ethnic groceries. As a dedicated halal butcher, meat sourcing is the core of the business, though no separate certifying body is listed. Why it is on the map Halal butchers cluster heavily in Calgary's northeast. This is a convenient northwest option if you would rather not cross the city for meat - that is the practical case for it. Good to know Fish as well as meat, which not every halal butcher carries. 3.9 across 27 Google reviews - a small sample, and the softest rating among the northwest grocers here. A shop rather than a kitchen - plan to cook at home.
Sage Plus Clinical Pharmacy 860 13 St SE, Calgary, AB – 4.8 ★ – delivery A clinical compounding pharmacy in Inglewood run by Joyce and Kendra, working across conventional and naturopathic medicine, and one of the few on this map that also dispenses for pets. Good to know Compounding, for people and animals. Both sides of the aisle. Reviewers value the pharmacists being fluent in conventional and naturopathic approaches rather than dismissive of either. Competitive pricing is mentioned unprompted and repeatedly. Delivery and curbside pickup. Weekdays only; Mondays open at 10am. Rated 4.8 from 82 Google reviews.
Sallora 305 16 Ave NW, Calgary, AB – 4.3 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Middle Eastern grill on 16th Avenue NW known for chicken mandi and fresh falafel plates, covering both the rice-and-meat and the vegetarian ends of the menu. Halal meat is used throughout as the kitchen's stated practice, without a separately listed certification body. A safe first order The chicken mandi is what most reviewers single out. Good to know 4.3 from around 1,500 Google reviews, and 100% recommended across 15 on Facebook. Good for children and groups, with breakfast through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Samar Market 2215 Centre St NW, Calgary, AB – 4.9 ★ – delivery Samar Market is a halal supermarket on 2215 Centre St NW. Hours Monday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM Tuesday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM Wednesday: 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM Thursday: 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM Friday: 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM Sunday: 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM Good to know Delivers.

Sara’s Cuisine 5441 Falsbridge Dr NE, Calgary, AB T3J 3E9, Canada – 4.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery An early-morning Pakistani breakfast spot in Falconridge best known for halwa puri and nihari, popular with families who make a weekend ritual of it. Halal meat is used throughout as standard for Pakistani breakfast cooking, without a separate certifying body listed. Arrive early at weekends The halwa puri crowd builds quickly and popular items run out. On Eid it is busier still - one reviewer describes a 40-minute wait for a table after putting their name down, which is worth planning around rather than being surprised by. Good to know The room is the draw as much as the food - reviewers describe it as warm and welcoming, and name staff. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Vegetarian options, with breakfast through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. 4.7 from close to 650 Google reviews.
Savanna Grocery & Halal Meat 9052 46 St NE, Calgary, AB T3J 4E4 – 4 ★ – takeout A halal grocery store and butcher in the northeast with a wide selection of ethnic goods alongside fresh halal meat cut at the counter. As a dedicated halal butcher and grocer, halal sourcing is the core of the business rather than an add-on, though no separate certifying body is listed. Worth browsing past the meat counter The ethnic grocery selection is broader than the store's size suggests - that is the reason to come here over a larger shop with a thinner range. Check what you are buying At 4.0 across 60 Google reviews the average is fair, but the recent reviews are not: several raise complaints about product quality and about how a dispute was handled. This map does not verify individual accounts either way - but it is worth checking dates on packaged goods at the till, which is sound practice at any grocer.
Savanna Market CommunityRx Pharmacy 9036 46 St NE Unit 206, Calgary, AB – 4 ★ – delivery The pharmacy counter inside Savanna Market, the halal grocery and bazaar on 46 Street - so it is the one you can reach in the same trip as the meat counter and the produce aisle. Good to know Inside a halal market, which makes it the convenient stop it is. Delivers. The reviews are genuinely mixed. Praise for individual staff sits beside repeated complaints about phone waits and counter manner. Worth reading before you transfer a prescription.

SavannaBazaar Pharmacy & Compounding Centre 5850 88 Ave NE Unit 8120, Calgary, AB – 3.6 ★ – delivery A pharmacy and compounding centre inside Savanna Bazaar on 88 Avenue, sharing the unit with a medical centre - handy if you are seeing the doctor and filling the prescription in one stop, and the source of most of the complaints, which are about the clinic's waits rather than the counter. Good to know Compounding on site. Free parking - lot, street and garage. Delivers. Closed Sundays. Hours Weekdays 10am to 6pm, Saturdays 10am to 4pm. Rated 3.6 from 19 Google reviews, and the split is worth reading: parents of young children rate it highly, walk-in clinic patients much less so.

Hours Monday: Closed Tuesday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Wednesday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Thursday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Friday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Saturday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Sunday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Good to know Takes debit and credit cards.

Script Pharmacy 7015 Macleod Trl SW, Calgary, AB – 4.5 ★ – delivery A large independent on Macleod Trail with the deepest stock of any pharmacy on this map - reviewers come here for the things everywhere else is out of, and mention the vitamin wall specifically. Good to know They have it. The recurring theme is finding something backordered across the city. Busy, and it runs well - regulars describe it as a well-oiled machine rather than a quiet shop. Good on insurance coverage, and reviewers mention staff working out what a plan will pay before dispensing. Delivers. Opens at 8am weekdays, Saturdays 9am to 5pm. Rated 4.5 from more than 200 Google reviews, the largest sample of any pharmacy here.

Seoul Fried Chicken Mission 2100 4 St SW, Calgary, AB T2S 1W7 – 4.5 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A Korean fried chicken chain that switched its Calgary and Edmonton locations over to a fully halal menu - double-fried wings, drumsticks and boneless cuts in flavours like soy garlic and gochujang BBQ. The flagship This Mission location is the original of the two current Calgary spots.

Shaheen Grocery Store 4655 54 Ave NE Unit 105, Calgary, AB T3J 3Z4 – 4 ★ – takeout A halal grocery store in the northeast specialising in Iranian and Afghan products - halal meat, fresh naan and dry fruits. As a halal grocer, meat sourcing is central to the business rather than incidental, though there is no separately listed third-party certification. What sets it apart Iranian and Afghan pantry lines are thinly served in Calgary, which makes this a specific trip rather than a convenience stop. The fresh naan and the dry fruit selection are worth a look even if you came mainly for the meat counter. Good to know 4.0 across 45 Google reviews, and 88% recommended across 18 on Facebook. A shop rather than a kitchen - plan to cook at home.

The kitchen sources halal meat throughout in keeping with standard shawarma-shop practice, without a separate certifying body listed. The dish that sets it apart The donair poutine is what makes this a different stop from a typical shawarma counter, and it is worth trying at least once. Reviewers order platters and a poutine together and describe it as consistent visit after visit. Good to know Online ordering for takeout comes up in reviews as working well. Reviewers make a point of how clean it is - a relaxed neighbourhood room rather than a fast-food counter. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Vegetarian options, with breakfast through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. 4.6 from close to 2,000 Google reviews, and 96% recommended across 77 Facebook reviews.

One platter feeds two Platters and wraps are generously portioned - a single platter can comfortably feed two people, which makes it a solid value pick rather than only a convenient one. Worth knowing This is part of a multi-location Calgary chain, and consistency varies slightly between locations. If you have eaten at another Shawarma Palace, this is the same menu but not necessarily the same night. Good to know 4.4 across more than 3,000 Google reviews.

Shawarmalicious 502 17 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2S 0B1, Canada – 4.8 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A long-running shawarma shop on 17th Avenue SW that has built its reputation on consistently fresh wraps rather than a flashy menu. It is a halal kitchen in the standard Calgary shawarma-shop tradition, without a separate certifying body listed. Stick to the classic Regulars order the chicken shawarma wrap and little else. It is simple, and it is the reason people keep coming back - one reviewer describes it as shawarma exactly as they remember their first one. Feeding a crowd Shawarma bites are a known catering order here - one reviewer describes them going down well at a University of Calgary hackathon. Worth knowing if you need halal catering for a group. Good to know More than 2,700 Google reviews at 4.8 - among the best-rated and most-reviewed on this map at once, which is rare.

Shawdesi Bazaar Foods & Catering 55 Westwinds Crescent NE #127, Calgary, AB T3J 5H2 – 4.1 ★ – takeout, delivery A Bangladeshi grocery and catering business in the Westwinds plaza, which is really three things at once: a food store carrying the fish, spices and pantry goods Bangladeshi cooking needs, a takeout counter, and a caterer for the larger gatherings the northeast community holds. Come for the ingredients That is the main reason to know about it - the pantry rather than a plate. The catering side is the other reason to have the number. On the halal status Google classes it as a halal restaurant, and it sits in a plaza that is halal end to end - though no certifying body is named. Good to know 4.1 across 226 Google reviews. Takeout, delivery and grocery. Lunch served.
Shenny's - Pili Pili Crispy Fried Chicken 4803 17 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2A 0V3, Canada – 5 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A small halal spot on 17th Avenue SE built around Pili Pili-style crispy fried chicken and fries, with a short, focused menu.

Good to know A compact, quick-service space, better suited to takeout or a fast bite than a long sit-down meal. Inexpensive, at the $ band. Breakfast and brunch are served as well as lunch and dinner - unusual for a fried chicken counter. Vegetarian options available, and good for children. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. Rated 5.0, though from a young count of 18 Google reviews.

Check the size before you order Portions and pricing run large for shared platters - worth asking about the karahi size if you are a smaller group, since this is the $$$ band and an over-order is an expensive mistake. Good to know 4.4 across 754 Google reviews. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Breakfast through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Sirocco Pharmacy Compounding & Travel Clinic 1919 Sirocco Dr SW #440, Calgary, AB – 5 ★ – delivery A compounding pharmacy and travel clinic on Sirocco Drive in Signal Hill, run by Laila.

Halal meat is used throughout as the kitchen's stated policy, without a separately listed certification body.

Skyview Grocery & Halal Meat 55 Skyview Ranch Rd NE #2116, Calgary, AB T3N 0E4 – 3.6 ★ – takeout, delivery A grocery store in Skyview Ranch carrying African and South Asian goods alongside a halal meat counter. Community-sourced as halal. A one-stop shop Pantry staples and fresh meat in the same visit - and the African grocery lines in particular are thinly served elsewhere on this map. Set your expectations At 3.6 across 330 Google reviews this is the softest rating among the halal grocers here, from a large enough sample to take seriously. Good to know Delivery available as well as pickup. A shop rather than a kitchen - plan to cook at home.
Skyview IDA Pharmacy 55 Skyview Ranch Rd NE #2104, Calgary, AB – 4.1 ★ – delivery An IDA pharmacy on Skyview Ranch Road, open seven days and later than almost anything else in the far northeast. Its reviews read like a list of the things people find missing elsewhere: the phone is answered, faxes from the doctor arrive, refills are on record. Good to know Competitive dispensing fees, which reviewers compare directly and favourably against the chains. They answer the phone and follow up when a prescription comes in from a doctor - the single most repeated point in the reviews. Fills veterinary prescriptions too, per a long-standing regular. Delivers. Hours Weekdays 10am to 8pm, Saturdays 10am to 6pm, Sundays 11am to 5pm. Rated 4.1 from 67 Google reviews.
Smokehouse N Broaster Chicken 6805 Ogden Rd SE, Calgary, AB T2C 1B3 – 4.2 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A small neighbourhood diner in Ogden serving pressure-fried broaster chicken, sandwiches and poutine. All food is halal, community-sourced. Do not judge it from outside It is an unassuming hole-in-the-wall that has built a loyal local following - the brisket sandwich and the fried chicken are what people come back for. Good to know 4.2 across 315 Google reviews. Inexpensive, at the $ band, good for children, reservations accepted. Breakfast through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
South St. Burger 130 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2Z 4J2 – 4 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery Check before you rely on this one. Google Maps now shows this location rebranded as "Smash Street Burger (Formerly South Street Burger)", and the halal position here was always narrower than a halal listing usually implies. What the halal option actually was The South St. Burger chain historically offered a halal-certified beef patty - sourced from 63 Acres - as an option alongside its regular non-halal menu, cooked to order on a separate grill. It was never a fully halal menu. Given the rebrand, and with no halal mentions in current reviews, it is worth confirming the halal option is still offered before making the trip. Good to know 4.0 across more than 880 Google reviews. Good for children and groups, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Spice Avenue 5075 Falconridge Blvd NE #610, Calgary, AB – 3.9 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Bangladeshi restaurant in Falconridge known for biryani, bhuna - a slow-cooked, thick curry - and fresh naan. Halal meat is used throughout as the kitchen's stated practice, without a separately listed certifying body. Order past the biryani The bhuna is the dish to try if you want something beyond the biryani most diners default to. Reviewers describe returning specifically when they want authentic Bangladeshi cooking, and rate the welcome. Good to know A small sample so far: 20 Google reviews at 3.9, and 5 on Facebook at 68% recommended. Both counts are too low to settle anything. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Sultan's Tent 4, 14 St NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1Z4 – 4.5 ★ – dine-in, takeout A Moroccan fine-dining restaurant in Kensington running since 1988, styled after a Berber tent with private dining options - couscous, tajines and kebabs, plus a full tasting menu. Community-sourced as halal. Nearly forty years in That makes it one of the longest-running restaurants on this entire map, in a cuisine barely represented elsewhere on it. Before you go Reservations recommended - this is a planned evening rather than a quick bite. $$$, dinner only, with vegetarian options. 4.5 across 6 Google reviews - a very small sample for a restaurant this old, so treat the score as thin rather than telling. Dine in or take out. Community-sourced as halal - worth confirming with staff when you book.
TAAJ Halal Meats - Wholesale . Retail 4721 17 Ave SE Unit C, Calgary, AB T2A 0T1 – 4.7 ★ A wholesale and retail halal meat shop on 17 Ave SE, part of the Taaj Grocery family of businesses in Forest Lawn. By the case or by the cut It sells halal cuts by the case for bulk buyers and in smaller retail portions - which makes it useful for a household and for an event, from the same counter. Good to know 4.7 across 28 Google reviews - a small but strong sample. On the 17 Ave SE halal corridor, alongside several other butchers.
Taj Kabob - Afghan Street Food 11135 14 St NE #215, Calgary, AB – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Afghan street food counter in the far northeast, keeping its kabobs halal from scratch daily. What it is good at Quick, good-value kabob wraps and bowls - a counter rather than a dining room, and priced accordingly. Good to know 4.6 across 919 Google reviews. Good for children and groups, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Taj Mahal Restaurant 4816 Macleod Trail SW, Calgary, AB – 4.4 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Indian restaurant on Macleod Trail operating since 1973, known for its lunch and dinner buffets rather than a strictly à-la-carte menu. Halal meat is used throughout as the restaurant's long-standing policy, without a separately listed certifying body. More than fifty years in That makes it one of the oldest halal kitchens in Calgary by some distance, and it is family-run. Reviewers describe the Wednesday buffet as the one to plan around, and rate the dinner buffet as strong value. Good to know The buffet format makes it easy if a group wants to sample broadly in one visit. 4.4 from more than 800 Google reviews, and 92% recommended across 47 on Facebook. Good for groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Brunch through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Taketomi Village 920 36 St NE #126, Calgary, AB – 3.4 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Hakka Chinese and Indo-Chinese restaurant in the northeast known for Manchurian dishes and chicken pakora. Halal meat is used throughout as the kitchen's stated policy, without a separately listed certification body. What to order The chicken pakora as a starter, alongside the more familiar Manchurian mains. Opinion is genuinely divided At 3.4 across close to 650 reviews this is one of the weaker ratings on the map, and the reviews bear that out rather than being a fluke of a small sample: one party celebrated a birthday here and had a wonderful dinner, another was flatly disappointed with the food. A large, established count sitting at 3.4 means the inconsistency is the pattern, not an off night. Good to know Good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Tandoori Grill Indo-Chinese Cuisine 515 4 Ave SW, Calgary, AB – 4.3 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A downtown Indo-Chinese restaurant where, per reviewers, all the chicken and meat served is halal. Known for sizzling tandoori grills and Indo-Chinese specialties like Hakka noodles and Manchurian. Worth a word at the counter The halal status here rests on reviewer reports rather than posted certification - worth confirming on a first visit if you are strict about it. Good to know 4.3 across around 1,100 Google reviews. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Taqueria El Chefe 2316 27 Ave NE #8, Calgary, AB – 4.5 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Mexican street food kitchen in the northeast, best known for birria tacos, quesadillas and an unusual birria pizza that mashes two comfort foods together. Halal meat is used throughout as the kitchen's stated practice, without a separately listed certifying body. The order to make The birria pizza is the novelty worth trying - one reviewer says whoever thought of it deserves a standing ovation - alongside the more traditional tacos. Why it matters Halal Mexican is genuinely thin on the ground in Calgary. This is one of very few places on this map serving it, which is reason enough to make the trip if tacos are what you are after. Good to know 4.5 from close to 1,000 Google reviews - a well-established rating. Inexpensive, at the $ band, and good for children. Breakfast through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Taradale Pharmacy 6520 Falconridge Blvd NE Unit 525, Calgary, AB – 4.1 ★ – delivery Part of the CommunityRx group, in the Falconridge Boulevard plaza that serves Taradale. Small enough that the staff learn who you are, which is the comparison reviewers keep drawing with the chain counters. Good to know Delivery and curbside pickup are both offered. Fully step-free - accessible entrance, parking, seating and restroom, which is unusual enough in a strip-mall unit to be worth saying. Closed Sundays, and Monday opens an hour earlier than the rest of the week. Hours Monday 9am to 6pm, Tuesday to Friday 10am to 6pm, Saturdays 10am to 4pm. Rated 4.1 from 29 Google reviews.
Taste of Yemen 1033 17 Ave SW, Calgary, AB – 4.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A 17th Avenue kitchen known for Yemeni mandi - slow-roasted, spice-rubbed lamb or chicken served over fragrant rice - plus a complimentary soup that starts almost every meal. It is Muslim-owned and uses halal meat throughout, in keeping with traditional Yemeni cooking, rather than carrying an outside certification. Don't skip the soup It arrives free with the meal and it is a genuine highlight, not a courtesy. Beyond that, the rice and lamb is what reviewers order and re-order, and several make a point of the value: main dishes large enough that half comes home. Good to know Go early at weekends. The dining room fills fast and there is often a short wait. Live music - one of the few halal kitchens in the city that has it. Family-friendly, good for groups, with a patio and reservations accepted. Vegetarian options available, and every meal from breakfast to dessert is served. Getting it Dine in, take out or order for delivery. 4.7 from more than 3,700 Google reviews - one of the largest review counts of any halal restaurant in Calgary.
Tasty Halal Store 3304 64 St NE #24, Calgary, AB T1Y 5R4 – 4.5 ★ A Mediterranean and Middle Eastern halal grocery in northeast Calgary, selling fresh halal meat alongside tandoor bread and specialty pantry items. Three ways to buy In-store shopping, curbside pickup and delivery - more flexibility than most halal grocers on this map offer. Good to know 4.5 across 86 Google reviews. A Mediterranean pantry rather than a South Asian one, which sets it apart from most northeast grocers here.
Tebyan Supermarket & Halal Meat 908 Edmonton Trl #3, Calgary, AB – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal grocery and butcher on Edmonton Trail, selling fresh halal meat alongside a broader grocery selection. The African aisles Reviewers note a particularly good North and East African grocery selection - lines that are thinly served elsewhere on this map, and the reason to come here specifically. Good to know 4.6 across 146 Google reviews. Inexpensive, at the $ band, with delivery available.
Temple Pharmacy 7196 Temple Dr NE #24, Calgary, AB – 4.7 ★ – delivery An independent on Temple Drive whose reviews are almost entirely written by people who left a chain pharmacy for it and are explaining why. The theme is time: questions answered without being rushed, and being served by someone who recognises you. Good to know Delivers. They will serve you at closing. More than one review describes arriving on the hour and being helped anyway. Closed Sundays. Hours Weekdays 9:30am to 7pm, Saturdays 10am to 4pm. Rated 4.7 from 51 Google reviews.
Termeh Cafe 7337 Sierra Morena Blvd SW Unit 2, Calgary, AB T3H 3V4 – 4.3 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A Persian restaurant in Signal Hill known for kabobs, saffron rice and a warm, elegant dining room. Confirm with staff on your first visit This one is community-sourced as halal, but the restaurant posts no explicit halal signage online and no reviewers mention halal specifically. Worth asking about sourcing before you order rather than assuming. Good to know 4.3 across close to 1,000 Google reviews, and 100% recommended across 27 on Facebook. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
The Biryani Room 412 Memorial Dr, Calgary, AB – 4.5 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery An Indian biryani and momo spot on Memorial Drive known for bold spicing and generous portions at the heartier end of the biryani spectrum. Halal meat is used throughout as the kitchen's stated practice, without a separately listed certifying body. Order the momos too They are a genuine second specialty, not an afterthought - worth having as a starter if you know this place only for rice. Set your expectations Reviews are split and it is worth saying so: one rates the spicing highly but notes it is not authentic Hyderabadi biryani and finds the price on the higher side; others describe a flavourful, well-portioned meal. At 144 Google reviews the sample is still small. Good to know Vegetarian options, with lunch and dinner served. 4.5 at the $$ band. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
The Burger Mechanic 4014 Macleod Trl SE, Calgary, AB T2G 2R7 – 4.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A scratch-made smash burger and English-style fish-and-chips shop near Chinook, serving 100% halal burgers alongside clam chowder and peri peri fries. The menus say so Community-confirmed halal, and the menus state it plainly - which is more than many places on this map do, and saves the conversation at the counter. What to order The Holy Beef Burger, and the complimentary soup that reviewers keep mentioning. The price-to-portion ratio draws consistent praise. Good to know 4.7 across close to 1,200 Google reviews, and 100% recommended on Facebook. Good for children and groups, with lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
The Casbah 720 11 Ave SW Lower Level, Calgary, AB T2R 0E4 – 4.4 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery An upscale, dimly-lit Moroccan restaurant in a Beltline basement space, known for couscous fassi and bastilla - two dishes you will struggle to find anywhere else on this map. Confirm before you book Community-sourced as halal, with no explicit halal signage posted online and no reviewers mentioning it. Given this is a reservation-and-occasion restaurant rather than a counter, it is worth confirming sourcing with staff before booking a table, not after you arrive.

The Curry Culture - Chestermere 175 Chestermere Station Way #204, Chestermere, AB – 4.4 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Indian restaurant in Chestermere with an extensive menu of curries, biryani and sweets, sourcing its meat from the halal butcher right next door. Sourcing you can walk to Because the meat comes directly from an adjacent halal butcher, the sourcing here is about as traceable as it gets for a sit-down restaurant, even without a separate outside certifying body. That is a stronger answer than most kitchens on this map can give. Ask what the specialty is The menu is large enough that a recommendation helps - staff will narrow it down to the day's strength. Good to know 4.4 across more than 600 Google reviews. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
The Food Chemist - Chinook 156 58 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2H 0A2, Canada – 4.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal wings-and-burgers spot near Chinook built around bold, inventive sauce combinations rather than a traditional menu. The kitchen sources halal meat throughout as its stated policy, without a separate outside certifying body. Ask what the current favourite is The sauce lineup changes periodically, so staff are the best guide - and reviewers say they are happy to guide, including talking newcomers through a menu that runs long. If you like heat or unusual pairings, this is the room for it. Also worth knowing The traditional wings hold up on their own: reviewers who have been three or four times describe them as consistently juicy with a proper crisp. Upgrading a side to poutine comes up as a recommendation staff make unprompted. Good to know Lunch, dinner and dessert - no breakfast service. Good for groups, with vegetarian options available. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. 4.7 from more than 700 Google reviews, and 100% recommended on Facebook.
The Maharaja Perfumes 6004 Country Hills Blvd NE #1660, Calgary, AB – 4.9 ★ A fragrance shop in the Cornerstone plaza on Country Hills Boulevard, and the latest-closing shop of its kind in the northeast - open until 11pm every night of the week. The business is designer-inspired scents at a fraction of counter prices, with everything on the floor open to test. Good to know Open 11am to 11pm, seven days. Nothing else in this category keeps hours like it. Everything is testable. Reviewers specifically contrast this with shops that keep the stock sealed behind the counter. Oud is the thing to ask for - the small oud bottles come up repeatedly, and on price as much as on quality. Free parking in the lot and on the street. Worth reading first Rated 4.9 from 19 Google reviews, but the dissenting review is a specific one: that a couple of scents smelled markedly different from their testers and faded fast. Test on skin and give it an hour before buying several.
The Taste Factory (Take Out-Dine in-Catering) 5150 47 St NE #3107, Calgary, AB T3J 4N4, Canada – 4.3 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A 24-hour Pakistani halal spot in the northeast, built for odd hours: parathas, nihari and sweets at any time of day or night. The kitchen sources halal meat as standard practice for Pakistani cuisine, without listing a third-party certifier. The late-night option There is not much competition for a halal kitchen at 3am in Calgary, and that alone makes this one worth knowing about. The nihari is the dish to judge it by - it is the test of a kitchen's slow cooking, and reviewers travel across the northeast for it. Also worth ordering The paratha draws praise for being crisp outside and soft within, and the halwa puri comes up as a favourite among people who order it regularly. Good to know Catering is part of the business - it is in the name. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Breakfast through dessert, which the 24-hour service makes literal. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. 4.3 from more than 800 Google reviews, and 100% recommended on Facebook.
The Turkish Rotisserie 2770 32 Ave NE #42, Calgary, AB T1Y 0B4 – 4.8 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A small, family-run Turkish rotisserie in the northeast, 100% halal, known for a whole roasted chicken deal that is one of the better-value plates in the city. Made in house The buns and doner wraps are made in house rather than bought in - which for a rotisserie this size is the difference worth paying for. Plan on takeout Seating is limited, so it leans toward takeout more than a sit-down meal. Good to know 4.8 across 673 Google reviews. Patio seating, and good for children. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
The Village Flatbread Co. 2511 17 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T3E 7V3 – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A gluten-free and vegan-friendly flatbread pizza spot in Richmond, built around celiac-safe crusts and creative toppings. Gluten-free does not mean halal Worth stating plainly: this is community-sourced as halal, but the reviews focus entirely on the allergen-friendly menu and none of them mention halal. An allergen-conscious kitchen is not automatically a halal one - confirm meat sourcing with staff before ordering. Who it is for If you are cooking around celiac disease and halal at the same time, that is a genuinely short list in Calgary, and this is on it - subject to the check above. Good to know 4.6 across 590 Google reviews, and 94% recommended across 44 on Facebook. Patio seating, good for children, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served.
TK Grocery and Halal Meat 9639 Macleod Trl SW, Calgary, AB – 5 ★ A halal meat and grocery shop on Macleod Trail SW, selling fresh halal cuts alongside everyday grocery items. What reviewers highlight Friendly, helpful staff and a clean shop - modest praise, but the two things that decide whether you go back to a butcher. Good to know 5.0 across 7 Google reviews - a small sample. A south-side option, where halal butchers are less common than in the northeast.
Toum (SAIT - Aldred Centre) Aldred Centre, SAIT, Calgary, AB T2M 4W7 – takeout A halal chicken food-court vendor inside SAIT's Aldred Centre, listed on SAIT's own campus dining page as offering halal chicken. For students between classes That is who this is for - a convenient halal lunch on campus, where the options are otherwise limited. Check the hours before you go Hours follow the Aldred Centre's food court schedule, which shifts with the academic calendar. Worth checking SAIT's dining page rather than turning up. Good to know No Google rating at all yet - a campus vendor rather than a destination restaurant. Takeout, at the $ band.
Tower Drugs 131 9 Ave SW, Calgary, AB – 4.9 ★ – delivery A downtown pharmacy on 9 Avenue SW with a twenty-year record in its reviews - several families describe using it for two decades and name the pharmacist, Tony Caramignoli, throughout. Good to know Twenty years of the same pharmacist. That is the whole of this listing's case, and the reviews make it repeatedly. Vaccinations without an appointment queue. Cheaper than the convenience stores around it for over-the-counter basics. Weekdays only, 8:30am to 5pm - it serves the working downtown and keeps its hours. Rated 4.9 from 14 Google reviews - a small record, and a consistent one.
Turca Breakfast House 2604 4 St NW, Calgary, AB T2M 3A1, Canada – 4.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A Turkish breakfast specialist on 4th Street NW serving generous spreads of cheeses, olives, eggs and pastries meant to be shared, with tea poured throughout the meal. It is a halal kitchen in the Turkish tradition, using halal meat in any cooked items on the spread, without a separate outside certification. Come with an appetite, and a friend The breakfast spread is designed for sharing, not solo ordering. Reviewers point to the VIP breakfast set as the one to get between two - several say it was enough food for more than the two of them. The simit platter comes up as the lighter alternative. Good to know It is a destination - reviewers describe returning whenever they are in Calgary. Patio seating, good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Vegetarian options, and service runs from breakfast right through to dessert. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. 4.7 from more than 1,000 Google reviews.
Turkish Kebab House SE 5016 17 Ave SE, Calgary, AB – 4.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery The original Turkish Kebab House, on 17th Avenue SE, serving the same charcoal-grilled kebabs, Iskender and lahmacun as the newer Macleod Trail SW location. Halal meat is used throughout as the kitchen's stated practice, without a separately listed third-party certifier. The regulars still prefer this one Longtime customers swear by the original, so it is worth the trip out to International Avenue rather than assuming the newer branch is identical. Good to know 4.7 across more than 1,200 Google reviews - the same rating as the SW branch, from a large independent sample. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Brunch, lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Turkish Kebab House SW 9697 Macleod Trl SW, Calgary, AB – 4.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A cosy Turkish kitchen on Macleod Trail South built around a charcoal grill, turning out kebabs, lahmacun and slow-braised stews plated with warm pita and grilled vegetables. Like most independent halal kitchens in Calgary it doesn't advertise a third-party certifier, but the owners are Muslim-operated and every cut of meat comes from halal suppliers. What to order Go hungry - portions run large. Regulars point to the daily lamb special as the standout, and the menu carries a picture for every dish, which makes ordering easy if Turkish grill names are unfamiliar. Reviewers single out the breakfast service in particular. Good to know Every meal of the day. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and dessert are all served. Built for a table of friends. Good for groups and for children, with a patio for the warmer months. Reservations accepted, worth using at weekends. Vegetarian options sit alongside the grill. Getting it Dine in, take out, or order through Uber Eats and SkipTheDishes. Rated 4.7 from more than 1,800 Google reviews, which puts it among the highest-rated halal kitchens on the south side.
Twisted Indian Legacy Township 200 Hartell Way SE Unit 340, Calgary, AB – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal Indian restaurant in Legacy Township, with vegan, gluten-free and halal options across its bowls, street food and burgers. Three diets at one table That combination is unusual, and it is the practical reason to pick this one - a group with different requirements can all order from the same menu. Good to know 4.6 across 390 Google reviews. Good for children and groups, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.

Uncle Fatih's Pizza - Calgary 1521 4 St SW, Calgary, AB – 4.4 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A pizza shop downtown with Turkish ownership roots, where the chicken pizzas are halal. Read that carefully It is the chicken pizzas that are halal rather than the whole menu - worth confirming which items qualify before ordering, since this is not a halal kitchen throughout. What it is good at Made-daily dough and more than 25 pizza varieties on display for a quick slice - a slice shop rather than a sit-down pizzeria. Good to know 4.4 across 435 Google reviews. Inexpensive, at the $ band, good for children and groups, with vegetarian options. Lunch and dinner served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Urban St. Donair 4105 4 St NW, Calgary, AB – 4.6 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal donair and shawarma shop in the northwest, serving halal beef and chicken throughout its menu.

Utsav Sweets and Restaurant 3770 Westwinds Dr NE #110-114, Calgary, AB T3J 5H3 – 4.8 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A Bangladeshi sweets shop and restaurant in Westwinds, and one of the highest-rated places on this map - 4.8 across more than 1,400 reviews. Two businesses in one The kitchen side does kacchi biryani and South Asian and Middle Eastern dishes. The counter side is the reason many people come: mishti, roshmalai and doi among the Bengali desserts. On the halal status The restaurant describes its food as halal on its own website, without naming a certifying body. Good to know Inexpensive, open from breakfast through dinner, and set up for groups. Good for children, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Varsity Pharmacy 402 Collegiate Blvd NW #291, Calgary, AB – 3.8 ★ – delivery A pharmacy in the Varsity professional building near the university, with a front shop that carries more than most - reviewers rate the electrolyte and protein selection alongside the dispensary. Good to know Compounding turnaround is quick, and reviewers who transferred in mention it as the reason. Delivery and curbside pickup. Open Saturday afternoons. Worth reading first Rated 3.8 from 34 Google reviews, and the split is unusually clean: the pharmacy team is praised consistently, while the low reviews are about the front-of-store staff. Worth knowing which counter you are dealing with.
Vattan Halal Meat and Groceries 5269 Memorial Dr SE #12, Calgary, AB T2A 2R9 – 4.6 ★ A well-reviewed halal meat and grocery shop on Memorial Drive SE, serving Calgary fresh halal meat since 1996. Nearly thirty years That makes it one of the longest-running halal butchers in the city. Known for its goat meat selection and competitive pricing. Good to know 4.6 across 155 Google reviews.

Villa Madina (3rd St SW) 751 3 St SW, Calgary, AB – 3.3 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A casual Mediterranean grill downtown serving shawarma, kebabs and fresh-baked pita in a relaxed, walk-in setting. Halal meat is used throughout as standard practice, without a separately listed certifying body. The pita is baked in house, so it is worth ordering extra alongside a grilled platter. Go in with your eyes open This is the lowest-rated place on this map at 3.3, and while the count is small - 4 Google reviews - the recent ones are not close calls. Reviewers describe the food as bland and the garlic sauce as watery, and one raises a discrepancy between an advertised platter price and what was charged. Worth confirming the price at the counter before ordering. Good to know Inexpensive, at the $ band, with lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. Other Villa Madina locations are listed separately on this map and are rated on their own record.
Village Pita Bakery Ltd 255 28 St SE, Calgary, AB T2A 5T4 – 4.6 ★ – takeout A halal Lebanese bakery and grocery operating since the late 1970s, known for fresh-baked meat pies and zaatar pies. As a long-running halal bakery, the meat pies use halal meat as standard practice, without a separately listed third-party certifier. Nearly fifty years in That makes it one of the most established halal bakeries in Calgary - a business that has outlasted most of the map around it. The zaatar pies alone are worth the visit, even if you skip the meat. Good to know 4.6 across more than 900 Google reviews, and 100% recommended across 27 on Facebook. Breakfast is served; otherwise it is a bakery and grocery rather than a dining room.
Village Square Pharmacy 2640 52 St NE #107, Calgary, AB – 4.7 ★ – delivery An IDA pharmacy on 52 Street by the Village Square Leisure Centre, in the plaza that most of Rundle and Whitehorn passes through.

Hours Weekdays 9:30am to 6pm, Saturdays 10am to 5pm. Rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.
Vivaan's Yummies Indian Street Food 3309 19 St NE, Calgary, AB – 4.7 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A halal-certified Indian street food spot in the northeast, listed on Zabihah as fully halal. Maharashtrian street food Known for vada pav, misal pav and other authentic Maharashtrian and Mumbai street snacks - a regional tradition barely represented elsewhere on this map, and quite different from the Punjabi and Hyderabadi cooking that dominates it.

Good for children and groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Brunch through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
VYB Social 1104 6 Ave SW #201, Calgary, AB T2P 0W2, Canada – 4.8 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A downtown halal lounge and restaurant serving Indian-fusion dishes alongside shisha, geared toward a long evening rather than a quick meal. The kitchen prepares its food halal throughout in keeping with its own policy, though no third-party certifier is listed. What the evening looks like Reviewers talk about atmosphere first and food second - the shisha draw, the flavour range, and staff they name personally. It is a place to settle into with friends, not to eat and leave. Before you go Reserve during peak shisha hours if you want a table. Patio seating available. Vegetarian options on the menu. Rated 4.8 across close to 600 Google reviews - the highest in this stretch of the list. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Well Bake Corporation 3930B 32 St NE, Calgary, AB T1Y 7L9 – 4.6 ★ – takeout, delivery A halal Lebanese and Mediterranean bakery in the northeast, keeping its full menu halal - baked goods and donair sandwiches alike. What it bakes Fresh manakish, fatayer, kaak, pastries and cakes. Manakish and fatayer in particular are things most bakeries in the city do not make at all. Good to know Catering available alongside pickup and delivery. 4.6 across 367 Google reviews. Inexpensive, at the $ band. Breakfast served; this is a bakery rather than a dining room.
Wellness Pharmacy 4625 Varsity Dr NW #107, Calgary, AB – 4 ★ – delivery An independent on Varsity Drive that takes on the prescriptions other pharmacies find awkward - a private nursing company describes using it for patients who do not fit a standard workflow, and reviewers with complicated regimens say much the same. Good to know Used to unusual cases. The recurring note is a pharmacy that says yes to things a chain counter declines. Rapid testing and vaccinations alongside dispensing. Delivers. Open until 7pm on weekdays and Saturdays 10am to 5pm. Worth reading first Rated 4.0 from 31 Google reviews. The complaint that recurs is vaccine appointments going ahead without stock on hand - worth a call to confirm before travelling for one.

Westwinds Pharmacy 4818 Westwinds Dr NE, Calgary, AB – 4.1 ★ – delivery A long-established independent on Westwinds Drive, in the plaza off McKnight.

Good to know Open seven days, including 10am to 5pm on both weekend days. Delivers. Free parking in the lot and on the street. Used to travellers. One review describes them dispensing an emergency supply for a family visiting from out of province. Hours Weekdays 9am to 7pm, weekends 10am to 5pm. Rated 4.1 from 32 Google reviews.
White Elephant Thai Cuisine 1808 19 St NE, Calgary, AB T2E 4Y3 – 4.3 ★ – dine-in, takeout, delivery A no-frills Thai kitchen in the northeast - the entrance is tucked behind the Airport Travellers Inn, which is worth knowing before you circle the block - serving pad thai, curries and other traditional Thai fare in a colourfully decorated room. One of the few halal Thai options All food is certified halal, community-confirmed. Halal Thai is thin on the ground in Calgary, which makes this a destination rather than a convenience. What to order The mango salad and the panang curry are the regular favourites among reviewers. Good to know 4.3 across close to 1,600 Google reviews, with reasonable portions and pricing. Good for groups, reservations accepted, with vegetarian options. Lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
Whitehorn Pharmacy 135 Whitefield Dr NE #3, Calgary, AB – 4.2 ★ – delivery A small pharmacy inside the Whitefield Drive medical building, sharing the entrance with the doctors upstairs.

Including the children Reviewers describe it as a reliable one-stop shop for modest fashion, and specifically mention children's occasion wear - which is harder to find than adult wear and usually means a second trip. Set your expectations At 3.6 across 24 Google reviews this is the softest rating among the clothing shops on this map, from a small sample. Good to know At the $$ band, inside a mall, so hours follow the centre's.
Yusrah Hijab 'N' Things 3502 17 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2A 0R7 – 4.5 ★ An Islamic clothing store in Forest Lawn carrying abayas, hijabs, modest swimwear, and men's and boys' thobes at affordable prices. Go with time to dig Reviewers are consistent on this: the selection is wide, but the shop is closer to a packed warehouse than a boutique. That is not a complaint so much as a warning - do not come in expecting to be in and out in five minutes. Good to know Modest swimwear is genuinely hard to find in Calgary, and it is stocked here. Men's and boys' thobes as well as women's wear. 4.5 across 71 Google reviews, and 94% recommended on Facebook. Affordable, at the $ band.

Halal meat is the core offering as a dedicated halal butcher, though no separate third-party certifying body is listed. The fish counter is the unusual part Most halal grocers carry meat and stop there. Reviewers name chicken, beef and goat alongside the spice range, and mention the bread. Good to know Service comes up repeatedly in reviews as a reason people return. 4.1 across 35 Google reviews, and 100% recommended on Facebook. A shop rather than a kitchen - plan to cook at home.

YYC Parfum Bar 70 Saddlepeace Mnr NE Unit 150, Calgary, AB – 4.9 ★ – delivery A fragrance bar in the Saddlepeace plaza in Savanna, in the same northeast blocks as much of the rest of this map. The business is built on recreating well-known designer scents - reviewers name Bleu de Chanel and Tom Ford's Ombre Leather - at a fraction of the counter price, and on being talked through the range rather than left to sniff at cards alone. Good to know Open 11am to 9:30pm, seven days. The latest closing of anything in this category on the map, and the only one open every day. They will match a scent you already wear. Bring the bottle or the name; several reviews are people who came in with one and left with the match. Staff pick for you. The recurring note is being asked what you like and handed three things to try, not being sold the most expensive one. Delivers, with free street parking outside. Hours Every day, 11am to 9:30pm. Rated 4.9 from 87 Google reviews, which is the highest score of any clothing or accessory listing here.

Reviewers describe being brought baklava and tea unprompted, which tells you most of what you need to know about the room.
