“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dennis.
What can’t I say about Dennis?

From the moment I met him, I knew. I just… knew.
The curls? Breathtaking. Like he wakes up each morning and an angel just tousles them into perfection.
The smile? A serotonin injection. If I’m ever on life support, just show me a picture of Dennis smiling and I’ll sit up and ask for a latte.
And the accent? Don’t even get me started. It’s subtle… just enough to make you lean in closer, like he’s telling you a secret only you get to hear. (Spoiler alert: I want to hear all of them.)
He’s so friendly it’s concerning. Like—who raised him?? Why is he like this?? Why do I feel safe and giggly in his presence like a suburban mom on her third mimosa?

I don’t want to make it weird but… if you ever find yourself around Dennis, guard your heart. Or don’t. Honestly, just let him have it. He already owns mine“

“The service in this place is second to none!!! So very friendly and helpful!! Tea while ordering and baklava for desert!! Was delicious and overall a great experience!“

“Good quality of foods, delicious in a fair price.“

“Friendly staff, excellent selections, and delicious food. The baklava is some of the best I've had. I'll be back.“

“Hands down the best shawarma in Calgary! The meat, the sauce, the veggies… everything is so fresh and delicious. Not to mention, amazing customer service. I have been coming here for YEARS and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“BEST RESTAURANT IN THE CITY HANDS DOWN!!!! I have heard amazing things about Kama and came here on a date. From the moment we walked in, the ambience and experience of the restaurant was fantastic. Not only is the restaurant stunning, the greeting from the staff made us feel so welcome and taken care of. The food and drinks were incredible!! Special shoutout to Chef Kenny and bartender Noah. Noah consistently checked in on us and made sure our drinks were amazing! Our server, Kenzie, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and ensured that our dietary restrictions were taken care of. She created a beautiful menu for us and maintained an incredibly high level of care, time, and service that's rare to find. What a gem! She was phenomenal. We were delighted to have both manager Liam and GM Javen stop by our table to make sure that we were taken care of. Again - so rare to find! Such a gem of a restaurant! You can tell how much the staff here genuinely cares about their guests experiences. This quickly has become our favourite restaurant and we will be back time and time again. Cannot recommend Kama enough and want to share a huge thank you to the staff here for making our experience amazing. Also - the private dining room is beautiful!!! This restaurant is so stunning, I would definitely come here for an event or a wedding in the future.“

“As a Restaurant owner for 7 years, I highly recommend Zaitouna. although we have contracted them for our family wedding only 2 days before the wedding, but they were able to cater for over 250 ppl. they were very professional to handle our order. the food was cooked for perfection, delivered on-time and they went extra miles to serve the food to our guests, although that wasn't thier job. the staff of Zaitouna didnt leave the venue till they made sure that ever guest was served. Zitouna deserves every support from the community. thier contribution to our wedding will be unforgettable experince.“

“I just had the best chicken shawarma I’ve ever had. The meat was juicy and delicious with a savoury brightness that I’ve never before experienced - secret spice blend! The vegetables and pickles were crisp and crunchy with layers of flavour. The sandwich had the ideal amount of sauce to enrobe the ingredients without making the bread soggy - the toasting added crunchiness and enviable grill marks. The fries and garlic sauce were a great accompaniment! Hot crispy fries tossed with another secret blend were plentiful and piping hot! The garlic sauce was astounding - very garlicky and a wonderful consistency. Great value, superb food and very friendly service. I will gladly drive across town to eat here. I suggest you make the journey- it’s well worth it!“

“They found another table as it was busy and quite loud where we were. Very accommodating . Our server was amazing even tho it was crazy busy. Food was once again unbelievable! The cauliflower, the skewers of different meats, the labneh...all so flavourful“

“We ordered lunch for 20 people for a University meeting at Vet Med - service and food was fantastic! Never disappointed with this food!“

“Best Shawarma I've had in Calgary by far. Super friendly staff.“

“Best Shawarma in the town ❤❤❤“

“While visiting Calgary during summer 2024, my brother and I stopped by this Shawarma House. The owner was welcoming, and shared his stories with us and made us feel at home. The food was amazing and freshly prepared. He even gave us plenty of fresh baklava to take with us. If you are looking for great food with friendly faces and hospitality, this is a great place to visit. Thank you!“

“I recently visited Layali Cafe and had the Kafta Kabob — it was absolutely delicious! I also ordered Karak Chai, and everything was perfect, truly on the highest level. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for Nafas, who served me. She is such a pleasant person, always smiling — something rare these days. People like her make the world brighter. I sincerely recommend this place to anyone who loves great food, excellent service, and genuine hospitality.“

“Exceptional Service at Donair Palace – Thanks to Sehaj!
I had the pleasure of visiting Donair Palace recently, and I have to say, Sehaj made the experience unforgettable! From the moment I walked in, her warm smile and friendly demeanor made me feel like I was at home. Not only is she incredibly professional, but her attention to detail is unmatched. She took the time to ensure my order was perfect, and even went the extra mile to recommend a few new items to try, which I absolutely loved!“

“I think I would rate it as 3.7 for the food , the taste of the shawarma is decent, I think I forgot to ask them to heat my pita bread, the flavors of the meat were little bit toned down I think it could be made little bit more intense.

Very clean place and Staff wars also friendly

The guy who was making my food was very helpful and gave good service“

“Unfortunately the ladies at the front desk didn’t have a name tag to get their names. However, the one without glasses and not as tall, was very nice and made me really feel welcome. Her kindness and smile made my dinner even greater.

The food and the smell were delicious, and the ambience was very nice, with good music, not loud so you can chat with your friends.

It was an amazing experience. Thank you!“

“Love the service there, valerie was super sweet and helpful. Thank you for the excellent service!“

“the absolute best shawarmas and donair in the city by far. shawarma palace is the only place that goes from rotisserie, to grill to wrap, never a steam tray. others will say hot and fresh , but shawarma palace is the only one that supports their claim consistently. always an awesome experience. thank you, shawarma palace for making your food the proper way , fresh and hot off the grill!“

“Wow, when you say extra hot, you're not kidding. I was thinking Canadian hot, not European hot. I will just order "Hot" next time. I had the super sized lamb wrap with the works. Can you say DELICIOUS!!! The best wrap I have ever had. I would suggest pickled jalapeños. Regardless, I will be back...“

“Wow is all I can say!! Great food! Best Greek food I have had in my 14 years in Calgary! Flavourful Yummy goodness Owners are amazing and friendly pricing on point! Thank you for being the best hidden gem in Calgary!!“

“I had an amazing veggie donair. Thee service was good and the young man who made our donair was very nice and polite. Excellent customer service. thanks and keep up the good work.“

“Great atmosphere with Kurdish music playing and a good feeling of community. The food was AMAZING, best in the city. Highly recommend.“

“I absolutely love Doughlisous, they make the best pitas I've ever had hands down. My family goes out of our way just to get pitas from them. absolutely everything there is amazing not just the pitas. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.“

“Amazing staff, food was great. Do I mention the staff……..a great place!“

“Amazing Donair! A toss on the grill at the end is the perfect touch.“

“So many options to choose from and quality is great“

“we tried it yesterday. great good and sweets, fresh and delicious, and friendly nice staff“

“My favourite restaurant and best branch. Never disappointed when I order from Jerusalem Richmond Rd. Always fresh, delicious and well prepared. One of the best things about this branch is even when you order delivery (portions and quality are as great as when you dine in) Also very welcoming when you dine in. Keep up the amazing work.“

“Best Customer Service and Delicious Food By Employee,Even you can ask for some extra sauce later. They always provide without charges.“

“Just visiting Calgary from the states for a couple of days and I wanted to have a kebab. I ended up going here even though it was around 22 Kilometers away from my Airbnb. 110% worth it, the food was delicious. It was so good I ended up getting a second shawarma wrap and the owner gave me a free baklava. He’s very kind and very easy to converse with. Definitely had a good conversation that lasted a while haha. 10/10 I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in Calgary“

“This is my second time ordering from Kebob, and they never disappoint! The food is always served hot and fresh, and the flavors are consistently delicious. I also really appreciate how friendly and professional the staff are—the service is excellent, and everything is clean and well-presented. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I were welcomed into Calypsos taverna by very friendly staff (manager Jennifer, server Amy). The restaurant was clean albeit a bit noisy with music and a TV showing Greek videos. My wife, Anastasia is Greek and grew up in Athens. We go to Greece every year and love the food for 4-6 weeks. Last night I wanted chicken souvlaki but was talked into the plentiful two racks of baby back ribs that was a full meal with rice, vegetables, and Greek salad. My wife ordered the lamb with the traditional Avro egg soup. Anastasia said the lamb and soup were okay but not as good as the manager touted so 5/5 at best. My Greek salad was excellent 9/10 and the rice and vegetables were good as well 7/10. The ribs had zero flavour and full of grease 2/10. This is an honest review. Could have just been an off night for food. Won’t return for the food as it was definitely missing the mark.“

“service was spectacular, excellent food, lots of seating“

“La cuisine est au top ! Très bonnes saveurs , point positif à Samar qui est efficace et professionnelle , bravo au chef bilal pour son travail .“

“We were a large group of ten for my bachelorette party on June 1st and we had an AMAZING dinner at Porch. I am so glad we chose to come here. The food was incredible, I had the Wild Mushroom Pappardelle and it was to die for, I am still thinking about it! The drinks were also so refreshing and unique! Our waiter, whose name I forget (sorry!) was attentive, fast and very helpful! The Manager came to our table and gave me and my Mom a complimentary glass of champagne too! 10/10! I can't wait to come back here and try more of the menu! Thank you so much for giving us an unforgettable dining experience!“

“Best Shawarma in the town ❤❤❤“

“Great atmosphere! Food is on point!love this place!“

“Walked in when they were closing . I ask them if they can make a meat lover and half veg with chilly flakes. They took the order and made it in 15 minutes. They pizza was over loaded. Best pizza I have had in Calgary. Would highly recommend this place . Great customer service and great price 👍“
