SHAWARMA CAIRO & PIZZA
Reviews of SHAWARMA CAIRO & PIZZA
from GoogleI’m happy to have come here today. I ordered a beef Donair and a cheese pizza, along with rice pudding and the sweet pastries. The owner was very kind and offered my son 2 free pastries as he was really restless at that time. The pastries were thoroughly enjoyed and I ended up ordering 4 more as they were truly amazing. I love the donair I’m usually don’t eat out but this is going to be my new go-to. The rice pudding I had later this evening and it was great as well. Again I can’t say how much I appreciate my experience here today, the customer service and kindness of the owner was truly outstanding. Food 5/5 stars. Service 5/5 stars and everything else.
I recently visited this Egyptian restaurant in Calgary and had such a great experience. The food was incredibly tasty, and you can really tell it’s made with care and authentic flavors. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. It felt like a warm and inviting place from the moment we walked in. We especially loved the kushari and the mumbar—both dishes were absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Their Hawawshi and Feteer were also very tasty. I’d definitely recommend giving this place a try if you’re in Calgary and craving something unique!
Warm and friendly seller with absolutely delicious food! If you’re looking for authentic Egyptian cuisine, this is the place; no need to look anywhere else. The quality and flavors are outstanding. It was my first visit, but definitely not my last. Highly recommended!
Once we stepped into the shop the boss was enthusiastic and started to introduce the menu to us. Even though I’ve never been to Egypt so cannot tell if it’s authentic but the food is sooooo amazing!! Personally I don’t like anything that looks like pizza but the hawashi is just so good that I could not stop myself. And the chicken shawarma just makes me speechless with all the flavor, the portions, and the taste. the side dishes (salad and hummus) are also top notch 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I love Egypt even more! I am so glad I found the shop on google map now I’m definitely going back to try more 😋😋😋😋
First time in here, and I'm not super familiar with specifically Egyptian food but saw the raving reviews about the pitas being handmade, decided to try the hawashi and, man, lemme tell ya, the flavourful spices in this thing are crazy. I could smell it cooking across the waiting area despite multiple fans blowing the other direction. This thing is juicy, crispy, delicious. The dude working there was super nice and chatted for most of my stay, too. Shout outs all around great time!
Meat was dry and tough, pizza was cold and stale. Off putting AI advertising at pick up location.
Devious food with friendly amazing staff. Highly recommended
loved it! dined in, family is so nice and kind and they have great chicken and great food. highly recommend this family place! cleaned our plates!
Very expensive
About SHAWARMA CAIRO & PIZZA
Shawarma and pizza share one menu at this Egyptian restaurant at 717 Edmonton Trail, and everything on it is halal.
The hawashi is spiced minced meat baked into bread, and the spice blend is strong and flavourful. There is also a falafel shawarma, which few other counters make, and the chicken shawarma is generously portioned. Kushari, mumbar and feteer are on the menu, along with a beef donair and a cheese pizza.
Bread and sweets
The pitas are made by hand, and reviewers mention them as a reason to come. Save room for the rice pudding and the sweet pastries, which diners say are excellent. The salad and hummus that come with the meals are fresh.
Egyptian dishes
If the Egyptian dish names are new to you, the owner will walk you through the menu. Reviewers mention loving the kushari and the mumbar, and the staff are described as friendly and happy to chat. First-time visitors say the owner starts introducing the menu as soon as you walk in, and one came back for four more of the sweet pastries.
