Good tasting shawarma! Everytime we go here the waiting line is always long but rest assured the food is worth the wait. Platter meals are served in very generous portion with veggies, hummus, potato and garlic sauce. Service is good. The place itself is not stellar and needs more upgrade but if you come for food no need to worry about it. Definitely keep coming back!
Shwarma Palace is always delicious and fresh, and the employees here are always prompt and friendly. I have never had anything but excellent food and service here!
Bookmarked this place years ago. Finally had a chance to stop by for lunch.
I ordered a large chicken shawarma with garlic sauce, all the veggies and extra hot sauce. I was hungry. It was tasty.
Good service. Great shawarma!
Looks like they’ve been busy opening other locations throughout the city...can’t wait to visit the one closer to my house.
This place is delicious! The food is always fresh and the portions are huge. They can juggle a busy line up no problem. Try this place you will have a new favorite. The staff are fantastic!!!
The best donair/shwarma plates in the city in my opinion. The hummus is tatsty (I put some garlic sauce on it), they load it with meat and they have franks red hot sauce. The only downside I would say is their potatoes other than that its a win for me.
The neighborhood is rather scary and the place is a little beat up inside, but don't let that keep you from enjoying some amazing food, with large portions at a fair price. I had the beef, chicken and lamb platter and it was absolutely delicious.
Shawarma Palace is one of Om’s go to places. It must be popular with multiple locations across the city (including Montgomery, Falconridge and Airdrie). This place has INSANELY good/late hours (1am on most days but 4AM on Friday and Saturday). Perfect for some late night eats. I came on a holiday Monday just before noon and it was pretty empty. Couple people took their orders to go and that was it. The staff are a well tuned machine; friendly, fast and organized. You order up front and get your food almost instantaneously.
Amazing food and great and filling portions. I recommend the trio platter. They are also very quick to serve on average about 5 mins for an order to finish.
I go here all the time! I wouldn't say it's my favourite donair shop in town, but it has never, ever given me a disappointing meal, either! I'm a bit of a one-trick pony, so I always come back for the beef donairs. They are pretty quick, but often there will be a huge lineup which will still make you wait. The staff are friendly but efficient! No complaints here.
Real friendly. Real fast. Real organized. 1 man on the meat. 1 man on the preparation. 1 woman on cash register and hot press. I already have my favorite Lebanese shawarma place in Calgary and I just wish they would be more organized like this place and they'd be more successful.
Great work. Delicous chicken shawarma!!! I'll be back
The doniars here are pretty good but I personally like the platters. The service is fast and the food is well portioned and well priced. But one time I came here and ordered food to go and the hummus was spoiled so I had just set it aside.
Amazing place. Told the man i wanted the best thing on the menu and he delivered. Got the chicken, beef and lamb donair and absolutely inhaled it. Meat was amazingly seasoned, tender and succulent. Veggies were fresh and on point. Had tahini, garlic, hummus and their sweet sauce, all tastey. Wish I had a picture of the beast I ate, but isnt that the case with all things delicious.
Honestly, I have tried every single dish they have on the menu. Usually i do take out at the restaurant. It is kinda hot to dine in there. This is a restaurant that open till really late ( like 4 am as I remember), Hug portion and cheap price! And it taste awesome!! A good place to go in a late night.
Don't let the neighbourhood scare you away from eating here. My go to place in Calgary for shawarma. Amazing food and generous portions for reasonable price.
AMAZING..! my new favourite Shawarma place. It was so good and my friend Razia loved the platter! The chicken wasn't dry at all. Nice staff and worth the drive ! Will for sure be coming back :)
Woooowww!!!. Best shawarma in calgary!!! I can't wait to go back and try their whole menu! We got the chicken shawarma and the lamb beef and both were sooooo delicious!!! A must try!!
I live nowhere near this place, but when I'm craving shawarma I always make the trip!! So good!! And they're open really late which is good.
The best of the best... Don't take my word for it go yourself. They are experts at their craft and it's the best in the city. Open ridiculously late on the weekend, they've ruined every other place for me because it's just that good. Stop reading this, get off your butt and eat here. Do it, seriously... Go now!
Yummy !!!. If this is the same place as the one in Castleridge. One of the best donair's. The meat was fantastic.
Good shawarmas. Has good shawarmas and samosas. The large shawarma was loaded with meat. The samosas were not bad either. There was a line up for lunch.
Love shawarma palace. Hours are great, food is spectacular, and service is stellar. The outside is a little run down and there isn't much to meet the eye, however what they lack in decor make up for in grub.
Yes, Yes, Yes!. We were staying a few blocks away from here when we were in Calgary for a trade show. Stopped in one afternoon and had the Shawarma platter. It was under $10, huge... and AWESOME! We hit it up a few nights later at 1am and we had the Shawarma wraps. OMG, So Good!! Anytime I'm back in Calgary, I'm going back!
Best shawarma in town. You can't get a tastier shawarma anywhere. They really do it up right at this little dive in the hood. Worth the trip into forest lawn. The Trio is AMAZING. Soooooo good, I eat here at least once a week.
This place is great! Although the down side is waiting in line for a while , but the people working there are friendly and the food is amazing !!! The best shawarma I have ever eaten !
Consistently good. Fun spot around midnight on a Saturday, always packed with a "diverse" clientele. Which is saying something because it's right across from MickeyD and TacoBell. People in Dover apparently know good eats. Everybody goes for the shawarma but the really good stuff is behind the counter -- the kubeh and grape leaves. The tabouli is to die for, if you can get it before it's all gone. Homemade, ppl. No brainer.
Upate: Still one of my favourite late night spots -- the owners are from Afghanistan not Lebanon as I embarrassingly suggested. (Oops!) All good. Glad they made it here. This place really is a gem on International Ave. Highly recommended. Can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. Hot, fresh, good value.
Very Good. Good and friendly service. Big portions prepared with gusto. Good food. Not the best chicken shawarma I have ever eaten but very good. They are frying / grilling the chicken after it comes off of the spit and that doesn't help the flavour. It was the United Nations the night I was there which may say something about the food or about the location.

My favorite shawarma place.. Generous portion sizes.... extra flavorful.... the guys are nice and friendly, environment is warm and inviting, open like really late on weekends 1/2am?? I dont know but this place beats out most shawarma places because its super flavorful and they put lots of toppings on. LOVE IT.
Great place...open late..generous serving sizes..very flavorful..warm fun inviting atmosphere the guys r nice.. my favorite shawarma place right now
The staff is great and the food is even better. Don't be fooled by it's appearance or location this place is great and has a homie interior.
More Shawarma Please. I'm not normally a donair person, but Shwarma Palace has my heart. I generally have a soft spot for NE/SE Calgary cuisine anyway; the prices are fair, the food is no-frills and great-tasting. When I have a craving for meat (I don't normally eat meat), this is my spot.
My co-workers and I will make the journey from downtown to International Avenue about once a week, taking our orders to go. The service is quick, friendly, and professional. Even their "medium"-sized portions are hefty! The first time I went, I ordered the lamb and could barely finish it, it was so much! A medium chicken is doable, however, if you are like me and cannot eat a lot at once. The veggie samosas are amazing - beautifully crisp with nicely seasoned contents. Finish it off with one of their baklava. I always get pistachio, but all are equally fantastic.
I'm so into this place.
My husband and I were cruising around on 17th trying to decide what to eat. We were super hungry and just stopped at this place. The chicken shawarma plate is amazing!!! I had the beef donair which was also good! Can't wait to come back and try more things on their menu!!!
Yummy!!. Having recently moved from the Middle Eastern Capital of Canada.....Windsor Ont. I have spent the past year trying to find decent Shawarma in Calgary after tasting many a shawarma here only to be disappointed at quantity, price and quality
Shawarma Palace is AMAZING ; great food, great price! This compares to the best I have had down east.
The kids and I will continue to drive across Calgary for our fix!
Food and service is amazing here! Love the donair and trio platter! And the late hours are a bonus!
Donairs. Everytime i am in the area craving donair, this is the place to be and they open late. Good job guys
Best in town!. Hands down the best chicken shawarma in town. No doubt I will be back.
Best donairs in Calgary. The sweet sauce here is absolutely perfect. Fresh ingredients. Plus spiced onions! So good. Open very very late and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Eager to please even @ 3:00 am!
Always friendly fast service. Generous serving and by far best shawarma in Calgary. I have tried differen plates and they are all good!!! great chicken salad, awesome donairs and good prices. Must try!!!!
A safe bet, always.. This place never seems to fail to satisfy no matter what I get off the menu. It's always hot, fresh and tasty. And know how to stack a shawarma high.
The baklava is also very good. The friendly staff never fret from throwing a couple of free ones your way when you buy more than 4 or 5.
This place definitely goes up there with the Cedars Deli on Edmonton trail for the best donairs and shawarmas in town.
Fantastic donairs! Always taste fresh, service is awesome and great value. We make a point to drive across the city to eat here.
Awesome Donairs!!!. Can't go wrong here. Food and service is great.
Really good lamb(so tender) and chicken platter. I took it all-dressed and ate everything. Even my 8 months old son help me. Fresh pita bread. You have to go.
Love it!. This place is awesome. Love the Donair, Love the Samosa (and mint sauce) Have only eaten here once (and stopped by a second time tonight to get a couple beef Samosa to go) I look forward to the next time. The guys in there are very friendly and kind and keep the place clean.
Loved the chicken shawarma platter. Open late with fast, friendly service.
Really Good Food. The building itself looks like a converted gas station, but the guys there are always friendly and you never have to wait long for your food.
I go there at different times during the day and the chicken for the shawarma's is always seasoned perfectly and never dried out.
My visit to this resturant was very good overall. I arrived after midnight and while it was clear that the staff had started their closing rutine I was welcomed in with warm smiles. The staff were very friendly and the food was good. I would visit again!
Best place in Calgary for for shawarma. Only place Ill eat chicken from. Line ups out the door always. portions are absolutely massive. Great staff they are extremely nice and they are very quick even a long lineup goes by very quickly as they are always hustling. Open very late. Worth the drive from Chestermere. Home made, fresh food.
We order from here often on Uber Eats! It mine and my spouse favourite go to for lunch! Their Garlic Sauce is the bomb and I've never been disappointed by them yet. Keep it up! c:
Food is consistently good and worth it for the price. It’s my go-to when I want to feel full and satisfied. Take off one star because of neighbourhood. There were people who seemed to do drugs or sort of things right at the entrance while I was waiting in line. It’s best if you can order through the app from this location.
One of the best Shawarma Places in Calgary. Came here in early in the morning few weeks ago. Good value for money, good portion, great taste, well made! Definitely recommend it. 10/10! 👍💯
Amazing food here, I always get the platter and it never disappoints. I took one star away because their take out containers are very cheap and flimsy, so you're unable to mix up your platter, it has to be done in your own bowl or dish. The takeout cutlery is also very flimsy and makes it difficult to eat. Please invest in some better quality containers!! Your food is excellent and should be enjoyed without stress!
Their shawarmas are really good. It is very old place and they have maintained their quality good. Meat is very juicy and portion size is reasonable too. Service is very fast despite of being crazy busy you will get your food pretty fast. Their baklavas are yummy….if they can improve little more hygiene it would be perfect place to dine in.
we ordered chicken and lamb/beef platters is was good !
One of the best shawarma I have had in Canada, and this is comparing AB, BC, ION and QC where I have lived and tried several options. The chicken, lamb & beef have enriched flavours. Serve size is good, even though comes in 2 sizes regular and large. Sitting area is limited and they can work in it, but for testing this is food and quality, 5 star!
