Empire Shawarma - Calgary, Alberta

Slightly pricey platters at $20, but the portion and taste is there. Not really any complaints. It’s more of a take out place as they only have one table but don’t let that stop you from trying their food. The shawarma I had was well seasoned, everything fresh, rice pilaf ... was good, and the sauce is tasty. Read more

Best discovery we've had since we moved to Calgary 3 weeks ago! Their service is friendly and their portions are awesome. Their food is mouth-wateringly good. I had their chicken platter and my hubby took their large chicken wrap. He barely finished his. I have a whole second meal left ... over. It was delish! The fun doesn't stop there. It's not just a restaurant, it's also a small store. They have all kinds of staple food from Lebanon. Turkish delight, Halavla, pita bread, awesome home made hummus, lots of pickled produce, honey, spices, and so much more that you'll just have to stop by and discover. Definitely will be a regular stop for us. Enjoy! Read more

Randomly visited this place to grab wraps for lunch as I was crossing by and was super hungry. Ordered one medium chicken shawarma wrap, one medium beef shawarma wrap and bakhlawa. The portion size of wraps were really good. Everything in it was fresh and delicious. Bakhlawa was not very ... crunchy which I didn’t like but was not too sweet which was nice. Good value for money. Wraps to grab and go are highly recommended. Read more

They have amazing Baklava Sweets, the best quality brand you can find in Canada 🇨🇦 this is the real original Baklava. We also bought the real Syrian Ice Cream 🍨 The owner was very friendly, respectful and welcoming! Thank you 🙏🏼

Tiny bit pricey, but the portions for the platters are big. For $10, you can get a container of their delicious rice, I got mine topped with falafel and LOTS of sweet sauce and it’s amazing! Really enjoy having this for lunch, you can get it with lots of beef or ... chicken too! They have student specials for a good price, as well as different donairs and platters. Donair is very large and flavor is great. This is a “medium” I cannot finish it! (Which is a good thing) Read more
