Desperately waiting for it to open. Fan of their Shawarma since they opened their 1st location in London ON. Get ready Calgary, you all are going to have best Shawarma in your city now.

They have very good customer service and the staff is all very friendly and take the time to explain the whole menu to you, even when they are so busy. The food was great, it was one of the best shawarmas I had in Calgary. And the place was very clean, you can tell they care about hygiene and food safety. I am glad they opened here and I will definitely come back

Alright, as a shawarma connoisseur I was a little disappointed in the chicken wrap. Here's my honest review and breakdown: Pros: - topping & sauce options are plentiful - quality and freshness of the toppings are really good - size of wrap is slightly above average for the price I would say for Calgary shawarma - the packaging for the wrap is fantastic. It has a cardboard sleeve which does very well to contain the mess. However, the wrapping itself was very well done and there wasn't any mess to contain really. - atmosphere is very unique and nice. Cons: - the saaj bread reminded me of a tortilla. It had no bite or crispness to it, and was very soft. I thought they flame grill it or toast it but that didn't come through (and I ate it right away). Not similar to saaj wraps I've had in Alberta (Jerusalem/Damascus/Zaitoona). - chicken was also very soft and under seasoned (had very little flavour). The portion of chicken to other ingredients is definitely on the lower end for shawarma I've had. - the quantity of toppings was pretty inconsistent. At most other shawarma places, you get to direct how much of each topping to put on and they do it in front of you. Not sure they give you the option here. I ended up with a wrap with way too many fries and not enough other toppings. - I got 3 sauces on my wrap, and to be honest I couldn't taste any of them. Wrap was still dry, again could probably be fixed by building your wrap in front of you similar to the other shops (subway style) - limited to 6 toppings/sauces combined before having to pay more for additional. This sounds like a lot, but normally I like 3 sauces (garlic, pomegranate, tahini) and 4 toppings (cabbage, pickles, onions, wildcard) but couldn't get that here without paying extra. I know this place is new, and I've seen lots of hype and good reviews for it in Toronto. I haven't tried that so can't compare, but for now there are definitely better options in the Calgary area for price, taste, and portions. Hopefully they can fix some of these issues because I definitely see potential.

Went there and I like their food alot .we ordered there bite box and grilled tender platter both were so yummy especially their fries and salad were very fresh. Mango and cookies and cream shakes were good as well .good luck.

This is totally not what I expected. It’s basically a small wrap, not a traditional shawarma at all. Super disappointed. We also chose extra sauces, but somehow it was still really dry. Definitely not worth the money. Wouldn’t recommend it — honestly, a waste of money.
