Reviews for SHAWARMA CAIRO & PIZZA in Calgary, AB
We came here solely because it was open late and it was close to us. I'm so happy we did because the food is amazing with very... generous portions, my fiance never has left overs but today he does. Very friendly staff as well! Read more
Amazing staff & delicious food, as always! We tried the pizza before, which was delicious! Today, we tried the feteer and... shawarma platters, which were incredible! One of our favourite places ???? 100% recommend Read more
I love this place! I've tried both the Shish Taouk platter and the mixed BBQ platter and honestly I wouldn't hesitate... recommending either. The rice ???? is delicious and very generously spiced and the best part is that the platter comes with afresh pita bread. There isn't any place in town that does this and that's why I keep coming back here. Would recommend it ifyou're in the area! Read more
First time here - had the beef shawarma, falafel and a pita bread... all were excellent! The owner (Hasan) was very friendly... and welcoming. He made the falafel and pita bread from scratch and you can definitely taste how well made it was. The beefshawarna was very tasty and well portioned! Also had the Barbosa which was so good! His wife makes the dessert ????. Willdefinitely go back to try other items on the menu. Great add to our neighborhood ???? Read more
A group of us were from out of town and out of all the places we've had wraps from, this was by far the best we've ever had. We... also decided to try hawawshi and as many others have mentioned, it was flavourful. The salad was fresh. I'm so glad we took achance to explore the city to find this place. We will definitely be coming back here when we are back in town! Read more

#shawarmacairopizza Wow! I felt so welcomed and happy entering today :) The owner Hassan and his wife have owned many successful... restaurants in the past and it shows. We have driven passed the former Shawarma place a MILLION times because it looked dirtyand "unspecial" but as we drove by today we noticed the fresh paint, the new sign and the Canadian and Egyptian flags andthought, let's give it a try! Located next to the old Fiddler's Courtyard (now The Courtyard) on Edmonton Trail we had verylittle wiggle room for parking so I suggest if you aren't a good driver, park on the street! We were welcomed by Hassan whoexplained what the items were and we settled on Beef Kabob and Chicken Tajina. They both came with freshly baked (like right toorder) Pita Breads. The rice was sooo good, I asked what was in it as I wanted to make it but it's a family "secret". Theyhave some special Egyptian items that are ONLY available Fri and Sat and I can't wait to go try them. The other item we reallywant to get is their PIZZA! They said that they are implementing a Stamp System so after so many stamps you get a free onewhich I think is a GREAT idea especially for locals. It's so important to me to support small family businesses like this and Ihope that you will go by and say "Hi" to this wonderful couple, tell them "Emi with the Blue Hair" sent you! Read more
This has to be the best Cairo restaurant in Calgary. They serve authentic Egyptian food. It feels like eating in Cairo. The... owner was really friendly. The customer service was top notch. Read more
