#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 dirty and "unspecial" but as we drove by today we noticed the fresh paint, the new sign and the Canadian and Egyptian flags and thought, let's give it a try! Located next to the old Fiddler's Courtyard (now The Courtyard) on Edmonton Trail we had very little wiggle room for parking so I suggest if you aren't a good driver, park on the street! We were welcomed by Hassan who explained what the items were and we settled on Beef Kabob and Chicken Tajina. They both came with freshly baked (like right to order) 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". They have some special Egyptian items that are ONLY available Fri and Sat and I can't wait to go try them. The other item we really want to get is their PIZZA! They said that they are implementing a Stamp System so after so many stamps you get a free one which I think is a GREAT idea especially for locals. It's so important to me to support small family businesses like this and I hope that you will go by and say "Hi" to this wonderful couple, tell them "Emi with the Blue Hair" sent you!

Wow, stopped by for a late night snack and did not expect to find a truly exceptional & authentic spot! As an Egyptian who has travel coast to coast, I can confirm this is the best Egyptian food you’ll find in the prairies/west coast! The koshery is phenomenal, the tomato sauce, chilli sauce and lime sauce are amazing! The flavours are spot on and so beautifully balanced. Everything was delicious and fresh it felt like I was in Cairo getting food from a stand, except this shop has nice fresh airflow and a calm atmosphere. The koshery plate is huge, I would recommend getting this to share along with a personal shawarma 🤤 We also tried the donair shawarma, the meat is juicy and tender, all veggies were crispy and fresh. This wrap was so fresh and delicious, and the meat portions are very generous. Beyond amazing food,the owner is very kind and welcoming. We got baklava while we waited for our order and we were even sent home with basbosa 🤤 both of which were delicious and very light If you’ve visited Egypt and are craving the food, or have always been curious to try authentic Egyptian dishes or traditional donair you MUST visit this spot. Highly recommend!

Came here tonight on a whim as it was late and there was not many places open. Absolutely blown away by how fresh and delicious the food was, genuinely the best shawarma I’ve had in Calgary, and growing up here I’ve tried my share of shawarmas. The food is authentic Egyptian style shawarma-they even offer typical Egyptian dishes like hawawshi, which we tried and it was a delight. We also ordered the beef kebab plate which came with fresh hummus, salad, and a steaming fresh pita, as opposed to other places that serve it cold. The service was phenomenal, owner Hassan and the other staff were such kind, friendly souls and their smiles and warmth alone is enough for me to want to come back. Hassan gave us free baklava at the end as well, even though my boyfriend came back for seconds and insisted on buying, but hassan didn’t allow it. If you’re in Calgary, you MUST give this place a try, you’d be missing out if you didn’t.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at SHAWARMA CAIRO & PIZZA, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The staff’s genuine hospitality was evident in every interaction, making our dining experience truly memorable.

The food at SHAWARMA CAIRO & PIZZA is nothing short of spectacular. Each dish is a testament to the rich culinary traditions of Egypt, prepared with the highest quality ingredients. We started with the koshari, which was a hearty and flavorful mix of lentils, rice, pasta, and a spicy tomato sauce, topped with crispy onions.

For the main course, the hawawshi was a standout – a savory and well-spiced meat pie that was perfectly baked, with a crispy exterior and juicy filling that delighted our taste buds. The lamb kofta was tender and juicy, cooked to perfection, and bursting with spices that transported us straight to Cairo.

To finish, the basbousa was a sweet and satisfying end to our meal, with its moist, semolina cake texture soaked in syrup and topped with almonds.

Overall, SHAWARMA CAIRO & PIZZA excels in providing an authentic Egyptian dining experience. The combination of exceptional food quality and heartfelt hospitality sets it apart. If you’re looking to indulge in genuine Egyptian cuisine, this is the place to go. Highly...
