Shawarma Station — Restaurant in Calgary

They are now temporarily closed. Lol it is probably a health violation. This is the place to go to if you want your stomach to get sick from their chicken. It is either rotten meat or something with the way they store it, because every time I've gotten from here, it brings diarrhea. everytime.

One time I simple asked for more garlic in the potatoes. The Arab man at the counter looked at me like I kicked him in the face. He looked so furious. He grabs a spoon and slaps a dollop of garlic in the box while glaring at me.

One time, an Arab guy took my order, then I confirmed it to him, a and he legit yelled in my face "YEaH I heard you". He was fat and sweaty, clearly being forced to work there by his parents. Anyway, I complained to the lady at the end at the cash. She was like I know he is rude. Then she goes to get mad at him in arabic, and he starts yelling at her. Bad business look.

Anyway they are now closed, probably too many...

Background:

One of the first things I wanted find when I moved to this city a year ago was a good shawarma place. After trying 2 dozen places, finally!

I've had Shawarma in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and several places in the US.

Based on personal and online reviews the previous owner was apparently price gouging and didn't make great food to begin with. After trying it and loving it I started asking the owner questions.

The new owner has only been there since early 2013. kept the same name from the previous owner but changed the menu.

Review:

This is my favourite Shawarma in town hands down, I'd compare it to Montreal, Ottawa and UAE . prices are reasonable, better than most of the other ones I've been to in Calgary. Quality, flavour, freshness of ingredients and the friendliness of the staff 5 stars.

If you've tried it before 2013 I highly recommend you give it...

I used to order from Shawarma Station all the time for years. Me and my Roomate used to love it. However, the last two orders have been very disappointing. I ordered a large platter. It looks like it was slapped together in 10 seconds. Literally had no more than a quarter cup of rice, 6 pickles and a dash of lettuce. Barely any sauce either. The meat was okay, although still seems the serving size is not representative of a large platter. Also, they no longer serve a pita wrap with their platters although they used to come with one. It seems they’ve become careless about their customers over the last while. I will not be ordering from here again. You had my business for a long time, but now you’ve lost it. There are many other shawarma places in Calgary for much...
