“Fun place will come again“

“Do not walk, RUN to this place for a donair. My goodness I’ve had a number of donairs in my day, this one knocks them all out in early seconds of round 1. WORLD CHAMPION Donairs right here. You want the Lebron of sauce? The Brady of meat? The Gretzky of Quality? And the Messi of customer service!? You’ll find it here. I’ll be back. And I’ll see you there. 10/10“

“Really friendly staff and best donair I've had in a while!!“

“Amazing food, delicious and fresh. Great service, all the best guys.“

“TikTok made us try it, and I have to say it was amazing! We went for a date night and came home to tell the extended family that we need to all go there again. We had the platter for 2, and it definitely could easily feed three! Pretty sure we have enough leftover for both of us for tomorrow. I don’t think there was a single item we would say we didn’t enjoy. The complimentary tea was a nice added touch. A true hidden gem in YEG! I almost want to gate keep on this place, but they deserve the praise. Service was timely and stellar. Tables are spacious.“

“Really liked this place! The food was great, and the staff were super friendly and professional. The atmosphere was nice and comfortable, and the overall quality was excellent.
We ordered chicken kebab and gheimeh stew, both were delicious.
Definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“The donairs are fab. The veggies are always fresh and awesome. The service is top notch.“

“Today, I went to Jerusalem Shawarma in Southwest Edmonton with my family. In addition to the delicious food, I want to highlight the excellent customer service provided by Fatih, whose kind smile and warm welcome, along with complimentary tea and baklava, made our experience even more enjoyable. I also want to thank the kind and friendly young woman who took our order. I highly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely return to enjoy their delicious food and the respectful, warm hospitality of the staff.“

“Absolutely delicious... grape leaves were so tasty and the falafel wrap was amazing 👏 😋 ..wish they had a store closer to St. Albert!“

“Great food! Great customer service! I love getting food from here :)“

“The apricot and goat cheese appetizer is hands down the best and most creative appetizer I've ever had!
Had the Braised Beef Short Ribs and they melted in my mouth!
Cant wait to try something new on my next visit 🤗“

“By far the best middle eastern food I've had in the city. My go to are the grape leaves. not just thrown into a to go container, presentation on point. highly recommend 10/10. Friendly staff make it an even better experience. 👏👌“

“We visited this place with friends. The best shawarma of our lives was made by Artur. The combination of flavors is simply incredible! We highly recommend the shawarma prepared by Artur. He is a true master of his craft. We’ll definitely come back many more times — thank you so much!“

“Stopped in for a meal, food is fresh and so flavorful! Staff are so friendly and hospitable, dining area is so clean! Absolutely love this place!“

“Jerusalem shawarma was worth it .Food is good .Busy place , lot of people in the kitchen line but nobody to clean the tables . Front lady is rude for no reason at all.
I came for dine in , but I did take out since I didn’t felt like having it there . If you speak their language , u get special nice service though .
However . As a whole , I liked their food , but need to improve on their service . I will come back again for takeout . Thanks team .“

“Atmosphere is excellent food is great“

“I would recommend everything but what I love most is the lamb shawarma wrap and chicken on a salad . Foods are truly mouth watering ..“

“I would like to recognize Aman for her outstanding customer service and commitment to quality. She greeted customers warmly, ensured their needs were met promptly, and maintained a positive, professional attitude throughout. The food was prepared and presented to a high standard, reflecting her attention to detail and dedication to excellence.“

“You will have to admit, you're getting a great mix of Egyptian and Greek flavors here. Deserves the lengthy review. I believe the owners are a family, in operation for about 2 years and you can really tell from their warm conversations that love goes into the food. The attention is not just a great service experience but a natural feeling of the intention they pour into what is hard work and quality food. Don’t know if it’s fair to say “service” or “atmosphere” or if it should just be called “the passion” expressing itself but you feel the hard work and enjoy the food more. The atmosphere was beyond any expectations as a result. Overall, the experience feels very genuine, making this my favorite place to eat in Edmonton right now. I am compelled by my first time here to highly recommend Pharaohs Restaurant—it’s a must-try.

The menu is small but well-chosen, all of what you would expect and want to eat in the genre of three cuisines, so everything is made just right. We ordered the platter for 2-3 people, but honestly, it’s enough for three. They did warn us and explained everything clearly, that you’ll want to save room for dessert. We were too full to enjoy dessert properly because each dish was so good—you’ll want to savor each one! Still, that just means you'll have to come back and try more and fit dessert. The Italian is woven in and fantastic! It’s a true fusion that stays true to its roots, without sacrificing authenticity. I’ve had good Greek food and homemade Egyptian dishes before, but I didn’t expect them to blend together so seamlessly. This is not Michelin Star but not your everyday home cooking either.

I know I have hyped it up and I clearly enjoyed it but it deserves this level of extended review even just for the next aspect I want to highlight. The cozy, authentic vibe is hard to find after the pandemic changed how many restaurants operate, but this one really stands out as what I only now innately remember was an excellent dine in experience pre-pandemic. Almost would not mind being stuck anymore on Gateway and Calgary Trail knowing I can just eat dinner here! The options in this part of town have not disappointed and many deserve a visit - but this one most of all.

The Context:
4ppl (30-40yrs old)

Friend in the group chose this place based on Google reviews- I didn’t check prior, just their website.“

“I had an excellent meal at Abu Nawras restaurant on 97th Street + 129th Street. I'm not sure if it's Lebanese, Syrian, or something else, but everything was delicious, especially the kippe (spelled a different way on this menu)--a type of crispy meatball (crisp on the outside because it's made partly with bulgar). I would happily go back.“

“Amazing pizza! Delicious and fresh, quality ingredients. Both the regular and gluten free pizzas were amazing!“

“I can't say enough about the quality of food but the quality of service goes above and beyond anywhere I have honestly experienced anywhere I've been in the world. I've never experienced such a sense of community as of 87 Pizza & Donair. I will forever be a customer and avid supporter. Keep doing what you are doing 🫶👏👏“

“Best Donair I ever had in Edmonton. very authentic taste. the meat and the Tzatziki sauce are so yummy and delicious. I wait to work close by to have a sandwich from High Voltage Donair. Toasting the sandwich is an extra plus. I am very happy every time I eat from their food. this place is a hidden Gem.“

“Great food and nice friendly environment“

“We went here before our concert at the Winspear Center. The Oil Lamp is run by the cutest elderly couple. The food is amazing, and the place has its charm. Nice selection of wines and beers to complement your food. We had the Chicken Souvlaki and the Beef Gyro. The chicken was moist and perfectly done, packed with flavor. The owner also gave us complimentary Hummus and Tatziki dip along with fresh pita as our starters. Definitely recommend it, and we will definitely be back. Gotta try some more of those amazing dishes. Oh, they are also very reasonably priced.“

“Very good food“

“I bought the Chicken & Beef Shawarma on Rocks with pickles and turnips medium heat with extra Beef $30. My wife picked the Chicken Shawarma Wrap, $19.

Delicious food, perfect spice. The wife also bought dessert that she greatly enjoyed a baklava cheese cake. We will order from again. ?“

“Stopped in for lunch during a busy work day. The gentleman who took my order recommended the Tandoori Stonebaked Pita. It was served hot and fresh in no time at all! Very welcoming and comfortable space and terrific value for your money. Will definitely be back next time I’m in the neighbourhood!“

“Amazing and delicious food and always a warm welcome whenever you walk through the door. You can taste that the food is made with love and comfort! Thank you always making our bellies full and our hearts happy 😊 ❤️“

“I absolutely love coming here. The owner is very kind and generous, as we waited for our pizza he gave us three different hot pitas with vegetables and meat to try. They wouldn’t even take a tip when we offered! Some of the best food in Edmonton made by some of the kindest people. Please give them a visit!“

“Food was hot very taste cooked to perfection highly recommended lots of toppings“

“Sayah meat and pita is the best place to order and eat/dine“

“Ordered from here on Skip for the first time. Got the Chicken Shawarma with Fattoush salad. The thing was massive and sooo good. Would highly recommend trying this place out!“

“Wooooow really amazing welcoming, food Avery thing I like it especially the service of Jamal really made us even what we were expecting the restaurant we were big family and all of us we like it and we recommend every Bady to come and see what we are talking about. Thank you guys again.“

“Great donair place! Lots of options for toppings, and great price for what you get. The food is always ready very quickly, and I have always been greeted with great customer service. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes a great donair.“

“recently visited Feta & Olives, a charming Mediterranean spot, a delightful experience. The menu offers a variety of light meal options. Light meals like these are great health，provide energy without weighing you down, a big plus if you’re trying to maintain a balanced diet.What I love most is how these meals help keep my mind sharp for work and study. I didn’t feel sluggish like I sometimes do with heavier dishes. Instead, the combination of protein from the chicken, fiber from the veggies, and the tangy kick of feta kept me alert and focused. It’s the kind of food that fuels you through a busy day without that post-lunch crash.
The service at Feta & Olives was another highlight—warm, friendly, and enthusiastic. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and were happy to explain the menu, making the whole experience feel welcoming. Highly recommended“

“Love their donairs. They are so tasty“

“Delicious food which we got very fast. Great service, nice and not overly intrusive. Decorations showed it was a safe inclusive space. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you!“

“I am obsessed with their garlic dip and their Tabbouleh on their freshly baked pita - absolutely delicious!

I also cannot get over the prices - so affordable - which is almost impossible to find at any restaurant these days.“

“Came here for lunch while working and was greeted by the owner of the store and if im not mistakened the whole franchise aswell. Cas/kas was amazing and made me an amazing chicken shwarma! Also threw in a free drink as a courtesy gesture because of the heat. Money has been tight lately and it was very appreciated. Shwarma had alot of flavor and the garlic sauce they used is made to perfection! Thank you very much and will be back 100%!“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying Osmow's shwarma, and I was thoroughly impressed. The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the combination of fresh vegetables and tangy sauce was a perfect match. The pita bread was soft and warm, and the portion size was generous. The service was fast and friendly, and the overall experience was delightful. I would highly recommend Osmow's to anyone looking for a delicious and affordable meal.“
