Delicious and Satisfying!
Tried the shawarma here and was genuinely impressed! The chicken was tender and well-seasoned, wrapped in a soft, warm pita with fresh veggies and just the right amount of sauce. Every bite was full of flavor. Great portion size and definitely worth the price. Highly recommend if you’re craving something tasty and filling!

I have never ate here before but decided to try something new on uber eats. I order the trio platter and it was amazing. The meat was tender and flavourful , the rice was cooked perfect, the potatoes were so good. The sweet sauce and garlic sauce were also soooo good!

Unfortunately today wasn't that great... The lady preparing my food kept touching the screen of the iPad, sneezing on her shirt and never changed her gloves or washed her hands.... Not happy with it

Absolutely thrilled with our experience at Avesta! The quality of the food continues to amaze us—it’s easily the most outstanding shawarma we’ve had in the city. Tonight marked our first time trying the family platter, and we were genuinely astonished by both the generous portions and the incredible value. The experience even turned a few of our guests into brand-new fans of the restaurant! Huge thanks for the consistently mouthwatering meals and top-notch service. You never fail to go above and beyond!

This is by far the BEST shawarma restaurant I’ve ever been to. We come all the way from Airdrie to eat it (take out), because none other compares. I’ve tried so many different ones, Avesta wins, every single time. They are also very generous in the amount of food and sauces. The chicken and beef platter is my very favourite! The staff is also super nice, and the decor is cute and cozy too. 10/10 recommend!!

Came to this spot after multiple people told me how good their shawarma was.
Cleanliness is huge when coming to any food business, my respects for those this evening at avesta that stayed clean while working, this being the tall man working on prepping food and the woman helping him and even as well as the cook himself.
the one lady with the mole on her face just didn’t respect that to where she would touch her face to wipe sweat off her face and then proceed to touch somebodies chicken kabobs they were cooking, also no gloves and handled cash and cash register (insane amount of germs on there)
Service was amazing too, definitely a very hard working team powering out consistent meals and focused.
onto the food, the gentleman kindly asked if i wanted multiple pitas ( no other shop i’ve been to has offered more then the standard 1) i politely declined. requested for grilled onions and i received. Potato’s were bomb 🔥their house green chili sauce was also really nice with vegetables, chicken & rice was nicely moist and chicken had a lot of flavour.
Overall i would give 4.3 stars but i can only give 5, work on sanitary conditions for all employees, i would suggest running all employees through a standardized food safety course that alberta offers.

They fill there shawarma wraps with pita and very little meat. They also overcharge for what it is. It use to be a good place. It has just gone down.
The working there was so friendly and gave me extra meat on top of extra. I love these guys🫀

Food was really good but the problem was the wait time. I placed my order online and pick up was at 7:18 pm I went there at 7:15. Served said 5 more minutes. I sat on the side bench and I could see they didn’t even working on my order I thought they have another orders ahead of me but there were two guys came after me and they made their orders. She started making my order at 7:25. I placed the order at 6:30. They should work in an order. And I picked up around 7:40. She didn’t say anything like thanks for waiting or something.

Use to be one of the best in the area but feels they lost their love for their food. I rather wait a bit longer and have some passion put into the food then rushed through like cattle
