Pita Stop - Calgary, Alberta

This place was really good the last time I had it, had a craving and gave in. This place is falling apart, literally ceiling tiles falling apart. I'll admit our food sat for about 20 minutes before we ate it, but two bites in, zero flavour, covered in burnt stuff ... from the grill. Got a sasquatch and a deluxe beef. I'm now driving back out to get dinner for the second time. Unfortunate because it used to be solid. Read more

This place is close to my heart as I’ve been coming here since I was a little kid. Easily my favourite shawarma in the whole city, and the best part, it hasn’t changed since I was a kid. It’s family owned and they work hard to serve the many guests that ... come here daily. I wish I could give them 100 five star reviews, they deserve it Read more

I love this little gem. I'd forgotten about it and came back 2 years later to find the quality and freshness still so good. It's family owned and has a great atmosphere. The lady serving me today had mama vibes and convinced me to put cilantro/parsley on my Falafel shawarma ... and I actually enjoyed all the flavors combined. It smelled so yummy that I barely got out the door before taking my first bite. It was under $10 and honestly had me so full by the end. Read more

This is a sad review to write. This place has in my experience had a great track record. We've always found the food very satisfying in the past, and a positive customer experience. Even in times of visible stress this family business had made an effort towards being personable and ... satisfying the request. Last time we went a couple months ago there was a very noticeable shift in the experience of ordering. The food was on par with their standards so chalked it up to few hard years and not having been in a while. There was a sense of worn out, jaded, and general resentment towards the customer for ultimately the employees choice to work there. I've worked industry most my life, I can relate personally as well as having seen it in many coworkers the struggle of being over a workplace yet staying for various reasons. Fortunately usually as cooks we have been out of the public eye, so attitude has a little wiggle room. The servers get paid to smile in most of my settings😅. But these folks are right in view, on the stage if you will. This time was one of the worst experiences of its kind. I asked, as it seemed like my super shwarma was getting the smaller portion of meat meant for the regular one. This was after noticing but not mentioning my pita get practically shredded while getting prepped for toppings. There was no response, I was friendly and genuinely asking. Instead the fella slammed some stuff around and seemed to blame his coworker. He wouldn't respond when i further said I was just asking a question. The energy wasn't not pleasant in there it really felt like they were mad at us for being there and how dare we have a question about our food we were paying for. I would really say you guys know how to knock this out of the park and have for years provided a wonderful product. Its up to you to decide if this is a worthwhile investment if your time. No amount of quality can make up for projecting your inner stuff at your customers. We will not be returning without some sort of outreach from this business. Seems like its time to reevaluate things. Read more

I've been coming here for the past six years, and the quality has remained consistent through all that time. The staff are always friendly, fast, and efficient, and the price is reasonable for what you're getting. What I love about their donairs is how they grill them. They always get the ... timing just right - perfect grill marks and warm meat combined with still-cold, crunchy and fresh vegetables, and whatever sauces your heart desires. Sometimes they kind of skimp put on the lettuce, though I'm sure this is to keep the balance of the donair in tact. But if you want more of any topping, they're happy to load you up. I've never been disappointed by anything from this place. If you're in the neighbourhood and are in the mood for some Lebanese donairs, stop by the Pita Stop! Read more
