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...

#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!

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...
